I’m wondering what kind of timeline I should keep regarding my hip replacement—100 days? 365?
Physical therapy went well yesterday. Only a couple more sessions, and then I’ll be on my own.
Yesterday I broke down & revisited the neuropsychology group from which I was seeing one of their therapists from February until April before I decided to discontinue as the therapist I had settled on/for was only reinforcing toxic positivity and was doing nothing for my trauma.
I called yesterday, again, out of a sense of futility & desperation, hoping they had someone on staff who has a focus in trauma based therapy—and they do—and I set up my initial appointment. This was also convenient as I didn’t have to register again, and they participate in my insurance. So here we go again—hopefully this therapist has the chops to help me.
Meanwhile, I am still waiting on a call back from the behavioral health group at a hospital near me, as I would like a consultation with a psychiatrist to find out what my options are regarding medication that might help me in this process.
This week I received an email regarding a “mandatory training” session which is scheduled for the day after I return to the office. The training will have everyone crammed into a conference room—which, coupled up with the lack of masking or improvements in air quality in our office, just is a formula for disaster.
I have been ruminating on this all week, getting anxious and tense, about something that hasn’t even happened yet.
I don’t like to share too much personal shit with my boss, however, I eventually relented and replied to the email and merely asked if I would be able to sit in on the training at my desk, and that I’ve been diagnosed with c-ptsd and being in an enclosed space with others is going to be a challenge for me. My boss replied, “Absolutely.”
She further suggested I reach out to HR regarding special accommodations, and that will be my next step once I have set up an appointment with a psychiatrist.
