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

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.
