I Can't Blame the Lack of Sunshine...
It's been a beautiful day - Spring in the middle of Winter - but it might as well be overcast and dark. It takes so little to cloud over any positive feelings I have. I finally got myself to the pho...

Thanks everyone - I know that they're forced to tick the boxes that Medicare requires but I can't help feeling it's serious overservicing. I'm already going to that rehabilitation hospital and had to be seen by a GP and a psychologist there for my health fund to pay for it. I just can't help thinking that if my old GP was still at the practice, she would snort loudly, and cut as many corners as she could legally to get me sorted. After all, no-one is going to think that I'm rorting the system to get my head checked out.
I've always been for psychological counselling for other people just not very good at it myself. My sister saw a real doozy for years and I sat in on one of the sessions as a teenager - even I knew there was something very off about him - he was later struck off. I think that has possibly made me wary for myself. And I saw a very nice woman after the bushfires but she got very little out of me - I just couldn't wait for the appointment to be finished. So, it was very hard to pick up the phone to start the process.
As @zoffiel said though - that part is done and I don't have to do it again.
I just wish that I recognised myself in all of this. I seem to have lost myself along the way during the year. @kmakm - you say you've got a cancer reel. I just keep flashing back to an image of sitting at the table telling my husband I had the Breastscreen recall appointment. I think that was the last time I was me.
