Back to normal

Well, a degree of normalcy would be nice!
That was the plan in any case. It didn't quite work out that way though. Unfortunately!

During a small chat with our personel lady, I started crying. Then after I got down to start work, I talked to my Dutch colleague and started crying again. I was taken off work, a meeting was set up with the company health service person for Monday and today I got in touch with my own gp and I have an appointment for next Tuesday. Hopefully he will be able to move me on to a psychologist as soon as possible.

I have been in touch with several people, both colleagues, friends and of course my father. Everybody is offering their support and I am very thankful for that. 

In better news however: the bills for my holiday to Scotland just went out to my parents and sister. I pay for the whole thing, so they have to pay me. Also the programs (both the generic and the specific with dates, times and directions and such) are done. The kilt is moving along as well: the basis is done, now it's just a case of making it look pretty. Or prettier than it is now. And without pins preferably!

  6. Hugs to you. Hope your gp gets you in touch with a specialist in ptsd. The person I used had a treatment involving rapid eye movement to reprocess the memories. Nightmares finally stopped.

    1. I don't think it's PTSD, it's just aftershock of the accident, coupled with all the things I have done over the last three years. And there have been many things. Nothing really has had time during the last three years to be given a place in my head, since every time something new would appear and take up more space.
