Rambling Rosie's Retreat

Been a weird little week at Rosie Cottage.

Started a course of weight loss medication. Seem to be working but I need to make a few tweaks to the times I need to take them. Having chocolate withdrawals too so Easter is gonna suck 😭

I also had a therapy assessment phone call which was very intense. She needed lots of info on my background and why I was requesting support and she's referring me for a treatment called EMDR which, from what I understand, is using eye movement to get the brain to put trauma in my past memories so I don't get triggered all the time.

School breaks up for two weeks today so I'm just enjoying the last little bit of quiet I'll get for a while.
 
Good to hear you're making progress and getting on with the assessments Rosie! I'm sure the therapy will help.
Lovely spring weather is set to continue so hopefully you can get out and about during the school hols.....
Yeah I hope so. We haven't made any big plans. He's gonna need the weekend to recharge but after that we'll just see how the wind blows. Definitely a seaside day and some gym visits though

How are you Mr? How is the garden?

I've heard good things about EMDR. There are a bunch of clinical studies that show its efficacy. I hope it works well for you. 🌹

That's good. She also offered me cbt but I've had that before so I'm on the list for this. She said I can also do it remotely so I don't need to worry about anxiety overwhelm in making it to appointments.
Thanks lovely ❤️

Hello dear Rosie, nice to see you back posting. Good luck with your new health drive and I hope you and your son enjoy your Easter holidays.
 
Thank you Ana
You're always so very kind 😊
I have had so much support and kindness shown to me on this board that it makes me want to return it any time I can. I like to think I can make the world a tiny bit better through my words and actions.

Can you tell I have just been to visit a girlfriend who fed me her homemade almond tart with whipped vanilla cream and copious amounts of coffee?? Hehehehehe!!

Oh that sounds so good. Time with a friend and delicious food! Medicine for the soul 😍

And I absolutely agree on paying forward the love we're given as much as we can
 
I'm glad that you're realising your worth isn't down to whether or not you post pics 😘
I definitely enjoyed the experience but I think I'm best off keeping that private now. And it's hard not to feel the FOMO that comes with not joining in with the pic threads but yeah I'm not extroverted really and not really equipped to deal with the type of attention it brings.

Though I will try and find other ways to join in with Variations as its so fun and creative.

There's always ways of joining in with Variations, whether you're someone who posts skin or not 😘
