Not a Bad Week!!

There is no "I" in struggle

Not a Bad Week!!

Good morning, everyone. I hope you had an amazing weekend and enjoyed the weather.

Today, I’m just going to talk about my appointment I had last week and how my haircut has made me feel better.

So, as you’re aware, my psychosis has been playing up, and my medication is not working great, and I was going to have a meds review.

Well, last Tuesday, I had my meds review. I was really nervous about this appointment as my psychiatrist I had when under service a few years back, wasn’t great, and he didn’t give me much faith.

So I got to where my meeting was being and I walked in and bang the heat hit me big time. I’ve never been abroad to a hot place but can I just say it was like a sauna and it was hotter than my grandads care home where he lives and that’s always hot there.

So I waited to be called through got called through and got to the room where we were going to. Once the checking of having the right person. The lady I saw told me how the appointment was going to go, and she didn’t want to keep going over my past as it could be a trigger. I was so happy that I didn’t have to go over my story to her and she told me about the notes that been sent to her and my past bits from when in services. You could tell she had written my notes and I was greatful for this.

The lady also explained everything to me and made sure I understood before moving on to the next bit.

I came out of that meeting feeling like I’d been listened to and I’m looking forward to seeing her again, to see if the new medication is working.

The next day, I had a haircut planned with my barber in his van. He is just a chilled out man. We had some random conversations. We also talked a lot about when we both worked in a care home. We decided what my cut would be, and then I just sat there and watched him cut my hair. I find it really soothing watching hair being cut.

This was me before my cut

Don’t forget the last day of the month my newsletter comes out. I started it last month, and it’s come out again yesterday. Don’t forget if you are interested in signing up.

This was me after my cut looking human again, hahaha.

Thank you for reading. I wish you a great week ahead.
