My pdoc and I talked about what I should do if I were to feel lonely and sad and we came up with a bunch of stuff.
I said I shouldn't rely on Babblers to be there for me. If I feel lonely and sad, I should think I won't be lonely for long, at most 2 days. Plus, there are other tourists around me. I can talk to other people. We have decided I should bring a book with me to read. I can go to a cafe and relax by myself.
If I feel bad, I can journal and write it down. I should write about what I am feeling and what is happening, so I won't be lonely.
I am going to take lots of pictures and journal about what happens on my trip because for 4 days I have no one to share my experiences with. That will feel like there is someone with me.
We have decided I shouldn't sleep the day away if I feel sad and lonely. That will likely make me feel worse. I will explore the city instead.
If I get lost, I will ask for directions.
I will have a fun time.
I will be OK with seeing Dr. Bob, I think...anyways, I won't expect too much. I have met him already so I know how he is like. Last time I was scared at first, but hopefully I won't be scared this time. I tend to freak out once in a while. I will be OK.
Last time I got envious of other Babblers when Dr. Bob interacted with them but not me. I even started crying when Dr. Bob emailed one Babbler and didn't respond to me. It's probably not intentional. I am just not an approachable person. Pdoc says my body language says to stay away. I will try to be more normal and less anxious.
