It would indeed be nice if it pushes things in the right direction @Jynx but not holding my breath that’s for sure.
I have my intake assessment for my schema therapy for EDs group next week.
I’ve been busy making more frames. I’ve sold 3 in the last couple of days. Think people like cacti 🌵 as that’s been a popular choice. Our market for this Saturday got cancelled though cause we are in for a really really wet 48hrs.
these are 2 new ones.
I had a temu Delivery this arvo too…. So lots more supplies!
how have you been @Jynx ?

@Bow Oh true!! You nervous? You gonna be able to have one of your support peeps in there with you? That would be helpful I imagine.
Hehe those are some very cute cacti!! I wonder if people just like the shapes? I love cacti and succulents my own self, they're really interesting plants! So I totally get it.
I've been going ok, had a bit of a crap one today cos someone scraped my car whilst it was parked out front of supermarket. So cranky about it. Hopefully one of the nearby shops will have CCTV footage so I can get my insurer to pay for the fix 🤞

Oh no that sucks about your car @Jynx so bad when people do that and don’t leave their details. Hopefully some cctv footage can be found for you.
@tyme @Jynx the assessment is just a formality really. The facilitator is my old psychologist. She called me yesterday and said that as she knows me and has also chatted with my new psych and my CM, she believes I would be a perfect fit for the group and would bring so much to it. So a full assessment is not necessary, we will just catch up, so she knows where things are at, fill in a heap of paper work too. She asked me how I felt about her being the facilitator and I said I’m ok with it… I really like how she works, so I’m looking forward to it… I think. I’m a little bit anxious, more so about whether being medically stable is a criteria of being able to do it. My potassium is currently low again. I’ll be going to the assessment on my own.

@Bow yeah fingers crossed!
Aww yay, I am glad, imagine that does take the pressure off a bit, knowing you don't have to 'prove how unwell you are/how intense your ED is'. I can understand feeling nervous about the medical side of things though. Have you got your dietician or someone helping you to ensure you can meet their criteria?

Hmmm well…. I cancelled my dietitian appointment this week @Jynx i didn’t really feel like there was much point to it. Nothing has changed, and I don’t feel I can change anything, so didn’t wanna waste her time, my time and my money.
my gp does have me taking regular potassium now, so maybe that will help.

Well that's fair enough @Bow you know yourself best! I'm glad you've got the supplements though! I didn't know you could get potassium supplements, maybe I need some cos I really hate bananas 😂
For real though, I'm super keen for this opportunity for you, and really hope it works out for you 😊💜

My potassium supplements are prescription @Jynx you can get them voost effervescent drinks with all sorts of vitamins and minerals. Bananas are a really scary food to me.
I’ve just spent the last 2hrs pulling apart a Lego build I got second hand. A birthday treat to myself!
