This week I've been lazy when it comes to posting on my blog. I've been so preoccupied getting ready for my surgery next month, that I've been too tired to write. Wow... too tired to write... I always have something to say! I guess I've been a little excited and nervous, it's finally starting to sink in. I will be starting my liquid diet right after Valentine's Day, so that will probably be incredibly difficult.
I have also been anxious because on the weekend I attended a party. It was the 15th wedding anniversary of my fiance's sister. For a couple days prior to the party I was so nervous. This was a big deal for me, as I haven't been in a party situation of this size for a long time. I was finally taking a big step in my anxiety/depression recovery. Of course my nerves ended up making me sick the whole evening, and I wasn't able to eat anything. Other then that it went great... I am proud of myself. I think I will hold off on any parties for a while though... let myself recover!
I saw my therapist, and she informed me that it was our last session. I was very disappointed to hear this, as she has been wonderful. I'm not ready to move on without a therapist yet, so I will be taking advantage of the one through the MIS weight loss surgery clinic. I go for my surgery pre-op on Monday!
Blessings to you!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds as though you handled your social event very well. I too had a situation I had to be very "public" with. I wasnt sure I could handle it at all. (It was the funeral of a dear friend). My emotional state as well as my general anxieties & depression, I was terrified. Got through it stronger. My dear husband was my rock.
I would freak, if my therapist told me we were through. I see her Thursday & boy is she gonna have to work for the hour! It's been a tough month!
