Okey dokey! Semester one has been and gone and we’re now well under way in semester two. The update is that I’ve now officially started PLACEMENT and I’ve started seeing actual clients are ya kidding? The first one was most definitely the most difficult but I’m slowly easing into a routine for how to run psych sessions effectively. Yay! This is only my first of four placements, and it’s taking place in the uni clinic - I think I’m starting to learn that a clinic base isn’t really my ideal working environment - but at the same time it’s also difficult to get a good grasp of what it would really be like since the sessions can only be run via Telehealth! Hopefully soon we can resume face-to-face sessions. For now, I’m just grateful to be getting some client hours in at all. Looking forward to future placements in different settings!  First year of Clinical Masters Week Four, Semester 2

While I’m fixing my projects and papers na mga natapos ko nung 4th year 2nd sem kanina. Naalala ko lang din bigla na sobrang motivated ako nung mga time na yun. Binasa ko ulit yung journal na pinagawa samin nung ClinPsych before, dun ko din naalala bigla na sobrang strong ko before and kayang kaya kong i-handle pa lahat ng bagay kahit na sobrang hirap ng mga subjects ko nun pero ano nangyari ngayon? Ano nangyari sakin? Nasaan na ang motivation na meron ako before? :( :( 

May message din sakin yung classmate at professor ko dun sa journal na I don’t have to give up whenever I face another difficulty again in the future, I have to keep going and be strong. They also stated na It’s also important to say what you truly feel to a person if ever there is something that is really bothering you. After kong mabasa yon. Naiyak na lang ako bigla gawa na-realized ko na connected yung mga sinabi nila sa mga nangyayari sakin ngayon. It’s just like they have predicted something and take note, 1 year ago lang nila binigay sakin yung message na yun. :( Ngayon ko lang talaga na-realize. Hayyyy. Don’t worry. This will be over soon na. I have to tell a person na talaga what I really feel and what bothers me. 

Na-miss ko lang din siguro bigla yung mga dating classmates ko na graduate na. Nakakamiss yung may mga pinagsasabihan ako ng problema, about my pain, or yung mag-uusap lang kami about life, nagiging okay na ko. Actually, kasabay ko dapat sila grumaduate last year eh. Nag-extend nga lang kasi ako ng 1 year gawa may tinatapos pa ko na subjects. :( Pero this year, gagraduate na talaga ako. Ito na yun yung 1 year na inaantay ko but....... In just 1 year sobrang dami ng nangyari simula nung grumaduate yung mga close friends ko talaga. 

I just miss the old days. Nakakamiss lang talaga yung mga days na sobrang motivated at positive ako sa lahat. Namiss ko din kasi dati yung mga activity namin sa mga subjects like Counseling Psych and Clinical Psych na gagawa ng journal to express what we feel and magkakaroon ng mga open forum para maging aware ang lahat sa nararamdaman ng bawat isa at kung paano mag-aadjust. Nakakamiss kasama yung mga ganun activity at mga tao. :(

Back to work soon!

In high school when CF really started to kick in and show it’s symptoms through my lungs I had so much time out of the real world, I was out of school away from friends and my brothers I forgot how to fit in to the real world

When I started to recover after a long admission and being diagnosed with Diabetes I was discharged and sent back to school. I was so excited to be back, to see my friends and to be getting back to normal life, only once I got there I panicked and I didn’t want to be there, I didn’t know how to fit in any more, I didn’t know what music was cool, I didn’t know the latest TV shows or what everyone had been up to all the time I was away never mind the fact I was so far behind in my school work because my year coordinator never complied to sending the hospital school my current work he was sending year two word and counting sheets “I before E except after C” all that kind of stuff. So once mum pulled in to drop me off I stayed in the car and went right back home, I started working myself up, trying to figure out how I would fit back into school life, if I would have the same friends if I would lose friends again because of my health which had happened plenty of times in the past. It took a few more weeks before I built the courage and confidence to walk back into a class room, when I was spoken to I would blankly stare for a moment trying to remember how to interact, what to say? Even wondering are they really talking to me or is someone else standing near me? It was all so complicated relearning how to be a teenager in high school, It was so awkward, I was so awkward. I have always been the same, every admission I lose touch with people and the outside world gets a little harder to re-join, I feel like I have nothing to talk about, I feel secluded while I know I am secluding actually myself, it’s all a process I go through every time I stay normal with my mum, Tyrone and a few close friends but everyone else feels like strangers that I’m just getting to know. I don’t know if this is a normal process or if it is just another quirk of mine but I drive myself nuts with it. The longer I’m away the harder it is to readjust.

I try to force myself to join in and go places, if I have a clinic and time to kill between another clinic, test or waiting on drugs I will pop into Melville Glades ( a golf club I used to work at) and visit some of the members that I miss, I will try make myself drop in to see at least one friend but it’s so hard to motivate myself so while I promise myself I don’t always deliver.

I wanted to go straight back to work before all this mental shit kicked in so I wanted to be back ages ago even though I would have been letting people down the amount of times I have last minute been back in hospital, I needed that normality though. Well weeks have passed, heck months have passed and now I’m in that limbo stage I’m passed just walking back in and being completely normal but I’m before the freak out.

Tyrone has finally agreed to let me get back into work so long as I start of slowly and don’t get ahead of myself. He’s such a worry wart; I’m so excited to be going back. Having my job to even go back to is amazing after all this time. I’m also a little nervous about any changes to my store and the systems. I felt so comfortable and confident when I left now I’m going to have to start rebuilding that confidence, relearning the job and how to interact with the customers and other staff.  My hope is I walk in and feel at home, like I never left. Only time will tell though.

On the health front I had my Kidney appointment last Wednesday and it went really well, my Dr explained that my potassium was up because I was blocked up so my body was constantly drawing on potassium that couldn’t pass through. I go back in two months where I am hoping some people will have been tested and offering me a kidney and then we shall work out the best match and plan to start moving towards the transplant. I still want to speak to my endocrinologist about stem cell trails or any other trials to try and annihilate diabetes in the process which I know is a big ask but I’m hoping to get a new kidney and not have diabetes attack it over the years.

I also had a lung clinic Tuesday just gone and my lung function has gone back up from when I was diagnosed with rejection, I haven’t actually asked about the rejection we did speak when we found the cancer and all the fluid that it could have been the cause of such a drop in my lung function so I’m just going flow with that because that’s what I need to do at this present time. My weight is steady now I have stopped dropping and I am yoyo’ing about 3 or 4 kg’s up and down which is fine.

I have been admission free since Saturday before last and it is actually the best I have felt in a while. I have been officially discharged from silver chain and my wound is completely healed well closed anyways. It now looks like I have three belly buttons. My actual belly button, my PEG scar / hole and now this stoma scar. I like to make my baby nieces and nephew think it’s normal and they are strange to only have one belly button.

I’m waiting on an appointment with the ClinPsych I don’t feel like I need it any more but I’m going to go along any ways to see if I can learn anything from it. I guess it will come in handy for the kidney transplant, particularly laying in ICU and anything else that might decide to prop up.

Ding Ding - Glad that round is over!, time to get back to my old being. 

Yes this will be me first week back at work!!

It’s the second half of the first semester and stress is peaking. Instead of ruminating over the three (!!) presentations I have coming up over the next two weeks, I’m reminiscing about this very cafe on the other most side of the world, kept by the most kind hearted lady, her mum, and her daughter.

I wish deeply to be studying in one of the many cosy nooks this cafe hosts, chatting to the beautiful people who run the shop, and munching on one of their fresh baked scones that I could smell as soon as I opened the cafe door.

I can’t wait to be back here as soon as the world allows me to

Just over half way through the semester and everything feels like it is absolutely piling into a huge mountain of things to get done.

Never have I ever had SO many assignments to do in so little time. Some are practical, some are written, and some are presentations - but ALL are taking so much time to get done. I wouldn’t be so worried about it, but the minimum pass mark in this course is 70% (I’ve never previously had anything above 50 as the minimum grade needed to pass!??)

Anyways, I set up a spreadsheet so I can see my assignments at a glance and cross them off as I go. Crossing them off feels great

Big time SOS, super keen for mid year break

Heading into week twelve now, aka the final week of the first year of my masters! After this week, it’s just exams to go and placement until I move to the next placement but that’s it’s own situation. I’m SO looking forward to heading into what I hope will be the final year of formal education for me, and entering into my actual career! Absolutely can’t wait.

By some miracle, I got through the mayhem of week 12 assignments and I’ve officially entered the exam period

Yes exams are still stressy and I’d much rather it was the break already, but I’m thankful to have only exams to worry about, and I actually look forward to studying for them. Sleep ins and cosy mornings are totally allowed for me at this point ☕️

So! I just had an interview for a placement position late next year!! The placement is for either the inpatient or outpatient ward in a hospital, which, as far as I know, is ABSOLUTELY the path I want to go down after I graduate. The training program looked impeccable. It seemed intense, but also so incredibly supportive, with massive opportunities for growth and development. It honestly sounded so amazing. The unfortunate side is that I found the interview to be very challenging, and I can tell I didn’t answer the questions to a high enough standard 😔. Unfortunately, I don’t think I’ll be getting accepted into this placement. But all in all, I’m so very grateful to have had the opportunity to even just attend an interview, which in itself is incredibly competitive to get! Nevertheless, no matter the outcome, this experience is definitely a learning opportunity, and I’m leaving the interview with more knowledge than what I went in with! Nothing but thankful!
