I ain'tn't dead
I have not managed to get around to an update for a while...mostly what I am doing seems to be better suited to a facebook status update than a blog entry if I am honest with myself.
Anyway, major thing to happen is I have finished my psychotherapy sessions. I feel really good about that as I feel that I have finally made some progress and sorted out a lot of stuff that has been cluttering up my head and getting in the way of me living my life and enjoying it. More to do but it's of the do it yourself kind of thing. Like I need to work on my relationship with food. I love food, the taste, the texture, the smell...and I hate myself for eating "too much". Too much seems to be a definition that varies on a daily basis but objectively is probably not at any point what a "normal" adult would consider to be too much. So yeah, need to work on that.
I have also managed to half my dose of anti-depressants and so far so good. My GP also tells me that there is no rush to get off them completely and he is happy for me to take it at my own pace, so that is a relief :)
Managed to get off the sofa and venture out last night to see the folks at "The Waterhouse". Was impressed with myself as I had actually been feeling grotty for most of the day due to having had my contraceptive implant removed the day before (hence the large plaster on my arm for the curious minded) which had taken longer than anticipated due to the GP having to remove a build up of scar tissue to get the damn thing out! Also, felt sore as had an IUD put in...that hurt more than I expected it to, as in I didn't expect it to hurt at all and it did and am continuing to get cramps that are worse than period ones but thankfully less than labour pain ones.
Erm, I think that's it really...as I said not much happening really. Work, parenting, the usual really ;)
