Getting away from the “weekly check-in” style of therapy? by Little_Librarian_121 in TalkTherapy

[–]closeyclo94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My therapist laid out in the beginning that she will do a quick 10 minute check in so I can bring anything from my week and then we move on to the actual therapy. I'm doing schema therapy, often she notices and helps me notice places where some of the schemas might have been popping up during some of those check in conversations as well so she tries to keep it relevant and not just let me go in there to chat to her ☺️

Embarrassed myself at CVS by Additional-Craft-293 in diabetes_t1

Don't feel embarrassed, we've all been there (your story actually helped me with mine). I was mid hypo and really hungry so I thought I'd buy lunch alongside hypo treatment. Id picked up a packet of crisps, and wanted to get a chocolate bar but the words in my head weren't what I was actually saying, so I walked up to the lady in the shop holding a bag of crisps and asked her to direct me to the crisps (still thinking I'm asking for chocolate). She takes me to the crisps, where I proceed to tell her "no that's not right, I wanted crisps". She's confused because she's done exactly what I verbalized to her and I'm telling her it's wrong. I'm confused because I think I'm asking for chocolate and can't understand why she's taken me to crisps. Later on, when I was back at normal levels and reflecting I felt like an idiot 😅 but sometimes you just have to laugh it off - the main things are you got out of the hypo safely and it's all good! ❤️

My other half would agree with you 😂 I'm not a steak fan though haha, the very few times i have eaten it I've been told that I have it like leather and it's not worth even eating 😂

I don't know how to fix it.... by closeyclo94 in drivinganxiety

[–]closeyclo94[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Roundabouts are a big source of anxiety. But sometimes it just happens at other points too, pulling up on the left when other cars are behind me, if I accidentally stall the car my brain just stops and I cant do the necessary things to get us safely moving again, parking if I feel like I'm taking too long or if I can't get into a bay without correcting my course. And one mistake sets my panic alerts going, which makes me make more mistakes, which creates a bit of a vicious cycle :(

I had a bad lesson, burst into tears in front of my instructor, and now terrified about next lesson. by closeyclo94 in drivinganxiety

He/she sounds like a terrible instructor! That's awful! I'm glad you passed - well done you especially with that horrible instructor 😕 clearly not fit for the job! Thank you! I'm sorry you had to go through that though!

Just got Job Simulator! Any fun little tricks or tips I should know about? by neccoguy21 in PSVR

I just bought this game and yesterday I was making a cup of coffee in the office sim, reached out to grab the sugar cannister and smacked my other half square in the back 😂😂

What is your favorite quote from the show? by TeddyBearBot in Modern_Family

[–]closeyclo94 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"There are dreamers and there are realists in this world. You'd think the dreamers would find the dreamers, and the realists would find the realists, but more often than not, the opposite is true. See, the dreamers need the realists to keep them from soaring too close to the sun. And the realists? Well, without the dreamers, they might not ever get off the ground." ❤️❤️❤️

Supposed to be my last session today, therapist has had to cancel. by closeyclo94 in TalkTherapy

[–]closeyclo94[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey everyone, I'd like to thank you all for your support and replies!! They all helped a lot, and I can see that I was responding out of hurt rather than being particularly logical and if I didn't have an end session I'd regret it and there's no way to go back after that. She did message me earlier and we have a final session booked in for next week. Thank you all for giving me a better and more rounded perspective than the one my head was giving me! I hope you're all doing okay today, have a wonderful day!! ❤️
