Hello,
i had my first appointment with someone again yesturday.
she is a nurse from IP, but is now working as a nurse therapist with the outpatient team.
it was a lot better then i expected, and she actually seemed very understanding, and also to get that things arent always as 'fine' as i make them out to be.
we went through the basics of whats been going on latley, what im up to, how college is going etc
perfectionism, feeling quite down a lot, not sleeping and not really eating properly all came up.
she sais it seems like i have a foot in both doors - i know i cant get really ill again, but i cant give it up either... id say thats a pretty acurate discription.
she also asked how she could help me with the whole not trusting someone thing as (in her words) 'lets face it, you dont have much of the outpatiant team left'... oops! she is right of course.
im not really sure what it is that makes me trust her more than the last 2 i saw, maybe its that i know her a bit, or that she seems to understand that just because i know it logically, it doesnt mean i have been able to do it (unlike franchesca who thought that as we had spoken about it, i was magically better).
she said that we would have 4 sessions, and then review it so that i could see if i wanted to work on with her, and to give me a chance to be open if things arent helping.
i hope that this will be helpful, i think it may well be, but not getting my hopes up too much!
next appointment is with her on friday x
