Hi, my name is StaringInTheStarsLLC.

I will be turning my blog is going to be turned into an online foundation and I would love to share my experiences living with them as well as what I do as a disability advocate

Been referred to digital counselling & CBT

I went to the hospital last week as I felt so poorly and I’ve been feeling like I’m dying ever since- mental health nurse referred me to digital CBT & digital counselling.
I thought I was going to speak to someone but that’s not the case! I am just going to have to speak to a computer instead every time I feel like frustrated and want to pick up the phone again and ring up the ambulance again!
I saw my dead biological father last year and they say the last person to die comes to visit you before you die too (I’ve been dreaming of my grandad too!)

I’m really struggling

Since my latest seizure last week I have been feeling like I’m dying- ive been feeling really anxious and spent all night last night in A&E waiting to be seen by the mental health team due to worsening pain in face. They asked if it was my psychosis returning again (I’m hallucinating again) but I said I don’t think so as I’m taking all relevant medication but she said they don’t think there is anything wrong with physically which is frustrating especially as I felt like I wanted to vomit blood twice last week (but I didn’t). They all put it down to heightened anxiety levels since my seizure and that I need to do CBT and have talking therapy.
