The 'I need a distraction' thread.

[shadow-light]

I mainly watch like satirical current affairs stuff like mock the week and last leg also documentaries. Though I do like taskmaster also QI

It's rare that I like dramas and the like. Though I did like handmaids tail

[shadow-light]

In a way I mainly use TV as background noise too I think. I do like to rematch certain things (mainly animated) over and over, like the simpsons, futurama, and American dad for example

I think my brain likes the familiarity

[Cacoethes]

I love those kind of shows Hazel
And i also really got into handmaid's tale.

Apparently re watching familiar stuff is a symptom of anxiety.
But I don't know a single person who doesn't do it!
Maybe it's just that everyone I know is anxious?

[shadow-light]

Maybe


I've been told it may be my autism as I will at times watch (while doing something else at same time) the same episode 20 times in a day

[Cacoethes]

Ah yeah
I don't think I could watch the same episode several times in a day!

[one_step_closer]

I'm the opposite I think, I never go back and watch something I've already watched. It feels like I'm wasting time when I could be watching something else. I only watch TV in the late evening anyway where I'll watch one or two things.

[Cacoethes]

That makes sense!

My neighbour is coming to clean tomorrow
My house is a tip lol

[one_step_closer]

How often does she do your cleaning?

[Cacoethes]

She usually comes once a month.
But she hasn't been in quite a while because whenever she asked if I wanted her to.come and clean I said no.

[tamobhuuta]

Hola! I've been to church :)

[Cacoethes]

How was it?

[tamobhuuta]

Italian! But I followed it in English. It's a nice mass, only about 20 to 30 people.

[Cacoethes]

Sounds good :)

[tamobhuuta]

It was :) how has your day been?

[Cacoethes]

Pretty boring tbh!

[tamobhuuta]

:( will tomorrow bring activities?

[Cacoethes]

I have a few bits to do tomorrow
Crisis team, neighbour coming over to clean, few phone calls to make, pick up prescription. Then there's this wellbeing thing at work (for customers) where you can go for free coffee/pastries and a chat. One of the girls recommended I come because she knows I'm having a hard time

[tamobhuuta]

That all sounds positive (although I know you hate having the Crisis Team)

[Cacoethes]

I do hate seeing the crisis team.
They said they'll review it on Thursday. Which seems ages away!
But yes it's all good stuff!

[tamobhuuta]

:)

I've cancelled my phone call with my godmother, I can't face it.
