Morning!

Afternoon! I know it was morning when you posted :tongue2:

How are you?

Afternoon everyone.

How are you all? Getting up to anything nice today?

Hey lindsay!

Nothing nice really. Been to asda, aldi and pharmacy, did washing and put it away. Making brownies for L and S currently and work at 5.

You up to much?

Do you like baking?

I'm not doing much at all. I went to the chemist and did a washing. Was wanting to go on the bus somewhere to get some things but felt like I got up too late to go. I just find it so hard to change the times I allow myself to do certain things.

I do. So the baking is a nice thing really!

It is hard to change routine, but sometimes it's good to get out of your comfort zone. Make a new routine, you made your current one somehow! Not saying it's easy in the slightest, but life doesn't just happen!

I got distracted by sorting out some bits and pieces round the house and before I knew it an hour and a half had passed. Just little jobs.

I am okish, still in pain but have more energy today.

How is your grogginess Beckie? Hope the brownies go to plan. I know your oven can be tricksy!

Hey Lindsay! Changing routine is hard and I know how distressing you can find being off routine. That said if you get out then hopefully you will get a sense of achievement. Might feel easier to be off routine for a positive thing?

Little jobs are always good to get done!

I'm glad you have a bit more energy. That's a win!

The grogginess has pretty much gone thanks!
Still quite tired but didn't sleep well so that's expected
The first batch of brownies were totally fine luckily! Just cooking on a lower temperature and keeping an eye.

Alongside the energy I appear to have the zoomies...
Keeping mean to rest and then getting sucked into another little job...

Yay for grogginess going away, boo for tiredness!
Huzzah for successful brownies!

I do that all the time

Hopefully I'll be able to get some rest on Monday and Tuesday!

Are you working all weekend then, seeing as you can't rest then? Or doing something more fun?

Working Saturday but going to see Jas in the morning. Going to see my nanny on Sunday but that'll be an all day thing because it's a 2 hour drive

Hi guys.

Hey tamo
How are you?

Well at least most of the weekend is fun plans rather hna boring plans like work. Sounds like you will need the rest on Monday though!

Hi Tamo, how is your day going?

Yeah apart from the shift on Saturday it's fun stuff!
I will indeed

So Jas has finally found some time in her busy schedule then, Beckie!

Hi Tamo, how are you?

I'm glad you have some energy, Jen.

I'm ok thanks. Been reading all your posts :) in a non creepy way!

She has! Finally!

Just arrived at work. Wanted to get here early because the car park can get mental, but it's not too bad atm. The street food thing has only just started though.

Evening everyone,

How are we?

If I don't reply, I've got my ADHD review call at half past, but it was quarter to last time when she called so I'm stuck in waiting mode.

Sending good shift wishes, Beckie.

Hope your phone call goes well, Beth.

Hey OSC

Hi Beth. How did your call go if it's ok to ask? What's in store for you this evening?

It's really busy but the vibes are good and the live music is decent

We've upped my meds again,
Med 1 - 20, 30 and 40mg made zero difference, so we changed it a month ago.
Meds 2 - 18, 36 and 54mg made zero difference, so we're upping it to 72mg before we give up on this med. She has to have medical evidence we've tried the top dose before she can change me.

I've been more jittery and on edge this week but I dont know whether thats the med dose, or that work haven't stuck to my reasonable adjustments and I've pointed out when the last rota was issued for April, everything that would be preventable that could push me over the edge for this week, and every one of them has happened because no changes were made. Surprise surprise I had a meltdown.

That sounds so disheartening beth
Keeping everything crossed that something works soon

Morning everyone

Morning guys, how are you Cacoethes?

Morning!
I'm ok thanks
How are you?

I'm good thanks. Went to church early so I could meditate in front of the Blessed Sacrament instead of in my room. It was very peaceful. What are you up to?

Hi Beckie, Tamo.

How do you find meditation Tamo? That sounds lovely

I get very distracted! But I pull myself back. How are you?

I'm okay, its been a shocker of a week but I went to yoga this morning and I've got a few bits of things done and even brushed my hair!

Afternoon everyone.

I hope you find the right med/dose soon, Beth. Do you enjoy yoga? Well done for what you've managed.

Hope you have a good day, Beckie.

Well done for persevering with meditation, Tamo. I tried it but gave up. It must have been nice to sit somewhere other than your bedroom.

Well done Ahimsa!

It was nice osc. How are you?

Maybe you should try different places to meditate sometimes. Outdoors could help with listening to the birds or trees etc.

I'm annoyed with the time I got out of bed as usual. Always gets my day off to a bad start. Have been to the chemist, washed my hair, hoovered, and cleaned my kitchen.

Afternoon all!

Sorry I have not been around much. This is day 10 of being in pain from the moment I wake up to the moment I finally manage o get to sleep. It's wearing me down and making it hard to think straight.

In more positive news I managed to roleplay last night, our party of heroes have reached the Island of the Beasts! And our friend K is coming over to play board games this afternoon, hopefully I can enjoy it and can focus on the game.

That sounds like a lovely place to meditate Tamo. I find churches have a lovely peaceful atmosphere, almost as if the building has absorbed the years of worship and praise.

Well done for making it to yoga Beth hoped it helped you recharge a little.

How is everyone else?

Oh LR that sounds difficult, I'm sorry your pain is bad. Sending love.

I'm glad you were able to role-play, I know you enjoy that!

Well done for doing things despite starting the day awkwardly osc!

Sorry you're in so much pain lr.

Hello all. I am not feeling so good today mh wise so am sitting here cuddling Terry the Teddy bear. But the good news is that I received 2 postcards today. One was from a retired psych.

I really hope you can enjoy your board games, Jen.

Hope your feel better soon, Dawn.

Thanks Lindsay.

What's everyone doing this evening?

Hey guys
I'm back
I left my mum's a bit late so had to rush straight to work rather than go home. Luckily I planned for this and wore my work shirt and had my apron, till key etc. In the car!

Morning guys.

Afternoon everyone.

How are you, Tamo?

Afternoon everyone!
Had a bit of a busy morning so forgot to say good morning XD
At my nanny's now. Hope everyone has a good day!

I'm good thanks osc, how are you?

Hope you're having a good time with your nanny Cacoethes.

Afternoon all. I am still not so great. I woke up with cramp this morning so am suffering both mentally and physically.

Sorry to hear that insig. Is there anything that would help?
