A little self-care box ♡

 

Today I had a meeting with my new psychologist at 9am, and I actually made it to my appointment - this is something I struggle with, so I am proud of myself, and so was she. My old psychologist went on maternity leave, and my doctor at the hospital just got a new job, so new ones for me and a lot of changes. Previously, I have done therapy for OCD, but now they want to go in at a different angle, to get to the root of my OCD, so it doesn't just return again at full strength in a year. Whatever they wanna try - I am open to it! Also, they changed the aesthetics of the waiting area a bit since the last time I was there - I like it!

After my appointment, Lasse and I went for a drive and stopped by the water. I am absolutely loving this weather. When getting back home, I took a nap, then ordered in, and now I am just relaxing to some music. My medication is making me so drowsy and sleepy, so today took a lot of energy out of me, I did not have - but it was worth it!

 

The Plant!

(Insert for dramatic effect: Beethoven’s Symphony no. 5 in C Minor, Op. 67: I. Allegro con brio ♫)

I bought this fake plant online, and plants trigger my OCD - yes, even the fake ones (fear creepy crawlies will live in it). So I went through this whole thing where I unpacked it slowly in the shower, sprayed it with bug spray, and then my plan was to slowly move it to this spot in the picture. But I ended up doing it quickly, and I barely notice it when I enter the room - so well done, OCD for overreacting, and well done, medication for finally working. All in all - a great win for me! And personally, I reckon it looks really good! Rant over!

 

Today was a real struggle from the moment I got up. Definitely one of those days where I wanted to cancel, but I had a psychologist appointment, and I got off my arse to go to that. I also had packages to pick up and some grocery shopping to do. 

I made it through the day, but I had to take a lot of breaks to deal with anxiety. Today was my second appointment, and so far my body and mind are reacting a lot - I will do another post, getting into it. Just happy with myself that I got through today. Tomorrow will be better ♡

Surgery Day ♡

 

Remember me being at the doctors due to abdominal pain? Well, my stool sample and blood work didn't show anything, so I have to get an endoscopy and a colonoscopy. Today I met with a doctor at the hospital about the procedures and got some reading material, along with some meds to take the days leading up to the procedures. Then we scheduled an appointment with an anaesthesiologist. Still in pain, and I am nervous about what it could be, but I would rather know than not know. Sorry, I'm not blogging much lately, I am just really unwell ♡
