… starting with a new therapist.  I had my first appointment today.

Now just a firm twist to the RIGHT and....

Now just a firm twist to the RIGHT and....

I’ve seen a LOT of different doctors about my messy brain.  I’m even seeing yet ANOTHER new one (psychiatrist – today’s was a psychologist) next week.

I am, however, hopeful.  Not least because this new bloke makes sense.  Which is not a given, in the head shrinking field.  We shall see.  Maybe I’m at a point now where I can actually address the issues.

Scary.

Here’s a novel concept (and pretty much the focus of this therapy): Anxiety is not inherently a Bad Thing.

I remain sceptical.  But I can’t go on doing what I’m doing because IT’S NOT WORKING.  So we shall see.

In other news: I’m off to tissue fit and try to make this:

The reviews have been mixed over on Pattern Review – I’m not sure how the engineering works, but it seems that if a garment wraps from the front to the back, then the front rides up.  I have fabric for two versions: white with a red and white sash, and blue with a black sash.

And if I’m going to get it cut out tonight, I need to stop faffing about online and go do it!

    ‘Faffing’ – I like that word, that may by word of the week…

    Finding a new therapist is almost as hard as finding a new mate. You have to be compatible. I think I read on your blog that you’re an Aspie? My 14yo DS is also an Aspie. I have him on anti-anxiety medications, which really help him stay calm in a lot of situations.

    As for your blouse, are you sure you want to try this? With those reviews, I think I’d walk away from it before I got started. Maybe try it out in muslin and then nothing is lost if you hate it.

    It’s a bit like “dicking” one I use a lot – and good luck with the therapist, and I love the look of the new top, hope it works out.
