hellooooo pals!
I have been away and I’m probably gonna go away again until other major life changes happen but lots of things have happened in the last six months!
1. I GOT A SCHOLARSHIP!!!!!! Thank god. I worked for about 10 40 hour weeks straight (including weekends) with no breaks in t2 last year, and I never have to do that ever again. I can focus on research now and finishing this PhD.
2. On the PhD note, I don’t think I will use it once I am done. I am considering going into a speech path masters. My GP and my psychiatrist have both said that if that is what I want to do then I should do it. Having people around you that support you is amazing.
3. I’m sort of dating someone casually and that is terrifying.
4. Probably the biggest testament to my growth over the last year is that I finally am seeing a new psychologist. We had ridiculously long wait times here but I have seen her three times and next week will be our first in person session and I’m excited to actually meet her properly. She is super good at her job and I really like her so far. And she seems to be really suited to what I need and how I work in a therapeutic context. I’ve also realised that A wasn’t and won’t be the only psych I trust, which is a massive step for me to realise. I didn’t think it would ever be possible to trust someone else with my life in that same role. Here we are two years after A left and it is happening.
And not really a massive point but how good is Lana’s new single, I am so very excited for the album.
Anywho, I hope this year is better for everyone. I’m off to do research, and try combat this massive imposter syndrome.
