Finally had my long awaited psychiatrist appointment today and lemme just say I'm so so so relieved she turned out to be very professional and empathetic and asked lots of very very relevant questions and wasn't at any point condescending or patronising. I'm quite emotional tbh. Just want to lie down somewhere and soak up the sun but I have this very time critical government related project thing I have to go and do now and my shoulders are killing me. I will do the lie down this weekend.

Hey Kitten,

Is this one a keeper?

Also stay inside if you manage to soak in the sun from there. Outside is cold and windy enough to offset the the warmth from the sun, not that it was that warm in it anyway.

Lying down over the weekend sounds like a great plan, I hope you manage to get your neck and shoulder sorted out.

I reckon so. Big hit to the wallet (475 - thankfully I think I'll be getting most of of it back having hit the safety net) but she is good.

Unfortunately I gotta head outside shortly for a bit of field work. But I probably could do with some fresh air. I have plenty of warm clothes on so if the sun's out I'll be fine in that sense.

Take care Kitten. Spewing your guts out to a professional is hard and exhausting. Big gentle hugs.

Thanks. I've done it so many times now I'm a bit numb to the whole process but I'm actually feeling overwhelmed this time from feeling like I have finally got a breakthrough where everyone else has hit a wall (because I needed psychiatric assessment).
