I went along to the doctor and he asked how I was going?
All good I say, he asks about the holidays and what I have been doing?
The house I say.....painting , ripping up carpet, going to the dump, that kind of thing.....
Doc ''did you go out for Christmas?''
Me ''Yes to my family not to The Man's I didn't want too''.....
Doc ''why not?''
Me '' because I didn't want too''
Doc ''did you meet up with friends?''
Me ''No''
Doc ''Why not?''
Me ''I didn't want to''
Doc ''why not?''
Me ''Just because I had the house stuff to do, and I didn't want to....''
Doc'did anyone help with the work at the house?''
Me ''yes the boys started and I took over''
Doc '' when do you go back to work?''
Me 'Wednesday next week''
Doc "So you have spent the whole holidays working on the house, getting stuff for the house but not doing anything fun for yourself''
Me 'I have my art journal things"
Doc '' with people you don't know and don't have to see?''
Me ''yes , some of them live overseas others in different states of Australia''
Doc '' SILENCE''
I am the highest medication I can be on, my blood pressure is sky high, I am in big trouble and need to take a stand on myself....
I don't do the victim well, I just get on with it, it has to be done, I do it......would I love to live in a perfect world? no I wouldn't my life is what it is and that is that..... if I went on a holiday I have the mother / carer guilt, if I ask the boys to help me they will (I just don't ask) !!!!
I have high expectations of myself but not of others.....
sweats and panic attacks are a big part of my life.....he wants to do hypnosis....well why not I have done most other things....
