Entry 2 from today

I had my second counseling session today. It was still the intake but we covered a lot of ground.

She says I need to take time for myself (which I have been TRYING to do) and she said that I need to learn to let go — of feelings, people, negative thoughts, etc. and instead of writing the negative things in my journal I need to try to write some positive things instead. I meet with her again on the 12th of October and she is coming to my house.

I am doing the back and forth between Contemporary Christian Music and New Age Suspension Chain music. The second is really calming and hte first makes me realize just how far I have drifted from where I should be. And that makes me even sadder.

I talked it over with Kal and he said to continue with the councilor and see their psych at least once for a second opinion. So that is set up for the 24th of October I think. I have to check.

Kal had an epidural in his spine yesterday to try to deaden the nerves around L3 to L5. He was in more pain after the procedure than he was before but we are hoping that the steroid will start to work any day now.

Hopefully Dr. W will have had a chance to look over Dr. B’s notes on me from the first accident and be able to diagnose what has been aggravated from this other one. I know my irritability and such as gone through the roof. But we are going to work on that.

That is all for now. One of my meds is making e really sleepy and I have to go lay down for a bit….

I know what you psych means about writing positive things in your journal. I thought writing about how bad I felt today would make me feel better, but I didn’t actually start feeling better until I started writing down the positive things.

Sometimes just tell yourself to STOP and close your mind off to negative thoughts, read some Scripture or sing a song and focus on the good. I have to MAKE myself do that… it’s so easy to be negative.
