Just wanted to give hugs to those who I've met before and say hi to those that I haven't.
I haven't been around as I've had surgery and then went back to work. I was also finding some threads very triggering so had a break. Anyway hope that things are okay...xx
Niles: I really must go. I'm hosting a seminar on multiple personality disorders and it takes me forever to fill out the name tags.
Hey K8, nice to meet you, I'm Lucy :) Hope you;re doing better X
Thank you Steph(glad you remember me!) :D How are you?X
Mark yes I am posting it noww. Btw, have you watched the movie or the whole Blood series? If you haven't seen the series then do watch them(I haven't seen the movies, but I've seen Blood +). Hmm I'm not sure what to suggest, something with vampires as well? Do you like scary stuff? What about Elfen Lied, have you seen it?
I had a cooling shower :( helped for about 5 minutes. I dont have icecream or anything like that due to diet and binging issues, and we have no watermelon or anything like that :(
The problem is, I have to keep my windows shut all summer because of a severe phobia of spiders, keeping windows shut is the only way to keep them out, if I opened my window I would be on constant anxious alert. I was looking up summer related seasonal affective disorder earlier - it is apparently a legit thing, and I think i have it :(
Steph, I totally understand, sorry for bringing it up.X I have the same issues. Watermelon can be quite cooling and it is very healthy :) And 90 % water.
I'm so sorry about your spider problems. Maybe you could buy a mechanical(?) fan(if you don't already have one)?
I've heard of it, but don't know much about it. Will read into it. Does it mean your mood varies depending on the season? X
Don't worry Lucy its ok :) I do have a fan, but it does little good as it is essentially just blowing warm air around the room even on full blast. I wish air con was more common in england!
It just means depression is worse in whatever seasons affect you for whatever reasons... for me it is the extra heat and not being able to cope with it, and not being able to find much respite from it regardless of whether I am indoors or outdoors.
Once this horrible heatwave is over, I will be able to cope better, I just find it really hard when I am the only one who seems to suffer, everyone around me adores the summer and the sun and heat and I just feel like crying every day because I cant get cool!
Ah I'm sorry about the fan! I don't live in the UK and here it always gets really hot in summer(sometimes goes up to 40 degrees it's terrible). Many people have air con here. But it seems it's not good for your health for various reasons ; we don't have it so..
I get it now. I'm sorry you're going through that. Something kind of similar happens with me in school. I'm on holiday now and before it started I was suicidal and wheb school ended - bam! I got better for no apparent reason.
It seems in the UK summer is usually not as bad as it is here. Last year when u went to London it was June and it was so cold and raining so much and I was wearing a sweater and a jacket. So hopefully the heat wave will pass and you'll feel better! X
I don't really like summer because of scars and stuff.
Thanks Kat :) how are you? It's winter there, isn't it? Is it cold?
I haven't slept very well last night :( I couldn't fall asleep, it was probably the fact than I can only sleep on my left side now(the piercing! :)) ). And when I finally managed to fall asleep I had the most terrible nightmare ever :( I"m feeling better now though.
I Function better in the colder parts of the year , Now that I think of it all my hospitalations have been in the summer ... , I've often thought I had reverse SAD but didn't know it was a real thing.
