- Pre-departure medical
- Trip to Perth
- Have contacted uni about doing a project
- Appointment with psychologist
The latter is something I have been thinking of doing for a while. In fact thinking back now, I'm not nearly as much of a basketcase as I thought I would be, but now the primary motivation for seeing someone about things is to work out some self-protective mechanisms in preparation for moving overseas. Things to do with being on my own, being a bit more self-sufficient, learning to reframe new and potentially scary situations, combatting feelings of social phobia and isolation, that sort of thing.
I don't know if I'm being a bit ridiculous about all of this, but I suppose it is about reclaiming control after a situation in which I still feel I had none. I want to minimise my baggage, minimise my "unproductive" recovery time, I suppose. I want to lessen my chances of getting hung up on things and be able to get myself moving when I don't feel like it.
I figure that's not a bad thing.
