i sat in today on olivia's evaluation. it was helpful for me to hear her responses to all of the questions. one question and answer in particular stood out to me. the therapist asked her to name one thing that she liked about herself. she responded that she could not think of anything that she liked. this broke my heart to hear. i hope that answer will be different one day.
the therapist said that he would say olivia has a "generalized depressive mood disorder". basically bipolar with 99.99% depression and .01% mania. she will see a doctor through the same office in a couple of weeks and see what medication is recommened. she will see the therapist weekly for therapy. she seemed to feel good about the appointment.
my daughter avery is a hair stylist and asked olivia if there was anything she would like to change about her hair. olivia said that she would like it darker and straight. (olivia has very curly hair). so after the evaluation we went to the salon. avery colored her hair and put a straightener on it. she absolutely loves it! her hair is silky, smooth and sleek. thank you avery!
this evening was her first class of celebrate recovery at our church. she went alone and came out with a spring in her step and a smile on her face. i think she was very encouraged.
thank you logan for working so hard at the office without me this week. i know it has been tough to go it alone. your reward will be great! thank you ole for giving me the week off to tend to olivia.
