Doodle Chronicles

Student nurse. Lived experience of mental illness, inflammatory bowel disease, and gastroparesis. Undertaking EMDR therapy currently. Cat mum and animal lover.
I did manage this today! Just 4 hours of placement tomorrow, then I can breathe and rest.
Cats notice more than we think! Mine are always very loving, but they've literally been rotating who is on me since I got in my my infusion yesterday. They always seem to know when I'm less well than usual.
Home and in bed! Nurse Benji Bob is on duty...or roaring at me depending on the picture 🤣
Progress. Just waiting for an 8 minute flush, then I'm home to bed 😴
I was on top napping game: fuzzy weighted blanket and 2 fuzzier weighted cats 🥰
Loving my latest colouring page. Wildflowers added by me 😊 The perfect way to decompress today!
"But why do you share more pictures of Benji?" Because this is Hope posing 🤣 I don't love him more, but he is MUCH more willing to look at the camera 🤣
Yes, I sacrificed my pillow cool mat for the cats...but how could you refuse this face?
Can't sleep, so I'm making the most of having 2 more days off and so am have a late night colour by numbers sesh with my boy keeping me company 🥰
Up at 3am and my entourage are working their fluffy bums off to keep me company 🥰
I've spent the rest of the time colouring this card (not my best work but passable considering) for my mum to go with the little elephant as a gift to thank her for her support on getting me here. I feel like I have been offloaded onto her unfairly at this point. But am so grateful to have her.
That's that, I've been discharged from the Community Mental Health Team! What a journey. I am bloody terrified!
Probably the most important bit of my discharge letter! I hope they listen. Also, she finished it a week ahead of schedule! Which is good, because she said she wouldn't discharge me until it was sent to GP.
Couldn't sleep, brain whirring too fast, so I have made her this pebble to post with a thank you card. I am stunned to have found such an amazing GP, and she needs to know ☺️
Not bad I think ☺️ I just can't decide now whether to leave it simple or add some decoration around the words 🤔
