My CPN Sarah phoned me this afternoon for our weekly check in call. I forgot that she was phoning me today, I dissociated and totally forgot what day I had. I texted her at about 2:45, asking her if it was today she was phoning me, she immediately texted me back saying yes and that she’d ring me in 10 minutes.
We talked about how the week had gone, I told her how low I’ve felt, and that I’d seen dr. barry yesterday, I told her that I’d mentioned the side effects that I’d had when I increased the prozac.
I told her about the pharmacy making the mistake with my haldol. We ended up having a good chat around that and I felt better after we’d talked it out.
We talked about liz and her self harm urges, sarah asked if she’d cut recently, I said no she hadnt, but that when I had seen dr. barry yesterday she’d said how proud she is of liz, how she’s making such huge progress in being able to express herself and express her feelings rather than stuffing them down or using maladaptive coping behaviours.
It was a great call and we arranged another one again for next thursday.
Sarah said she’ll be checking in over the christmas period too which I am glad about as Dr. Barry is off for 2 weeks and so is eileen.
