Afternoon everyone. How is your day going so far?

It's ok, wind meant L couldn't go to work so we're watching Sleepy Hollow. How are you?

You're on lamotrigine aren't you tamo?
If you have a rash, you need to tell a doctor today.

Thanks for the advice, but i reckon it's ok, my sister has had the lamotrogine rash and this doesn't seem to be the same. It's not itchy or spreading. If it gets worse I will definitely call the doctor.

Ok, if you're sure!

I am :)

You ok?

:)

Yeah. Spent a while in the sensory room with a couple of staff so feeling a bit more settled

Take care of yourself Tamo and get checked out if you need to.

I'm glad you're feeling more settled Beckie.

Thanks lindsay

How are you?

Are you doing much this evening to try and stay settled? I know it's not that easy sometimes though.

I'm just feeling like I'm failing at life and can't cope with much.

Hugs if wanted osc.

L's school has a sensory space, they sound great.

I'm listening to music atm

Sorry to hear that lindsay

Thanks.

Are either of you in the area where the wind is extra wild? We just had a weather warning for snow but it didn't come to much.

Just very windy here.
I haven't been outside.
But from the work group chat there have been walls/roofs/traffic lights down.
And power cuts. Work had to close a few hours ago because of a power cut

It's pretty windy here but I'm in the south so probably not as bad as other places.

Hopefully it'll calm down soon. I do like storms a bit but I heard someone died because a tree fell on them so that's not good.

That's not good :(

Not good at all

Morning all! I beat Beckie.

It wasn't terribly windy where I am yesterday. Known worse storms as I could watch TV through the dish. It was rainy though and managed to get to town as I met my friend. It's my birthday on Tuesday so she had a present for me. Plus Lorraine has sent me something. Also my birthday is a palindrome date!

Hi insig, how old are you going to be?

I am quite spasmy because it's a couple of days since I had lorazepam.

I am going to the grand old age of 41 tamobhuuta. I am an oldie here. Sorry you're spasmy.

You're very old :p even older than me! (I am 31)

What's a palindrome date? Are you planning anything for your birthday?

Is Lorazepam a regular med for you or PRN Tamo? Spasms must be annoying. I get akathisia and that's annoying enough.

It's PRN, I usually need it every other day but it does vary.

How are you?

A palindrome date is a date that reads the same forwards as backwards Lindsay. I am going to an antiques and collectibles place plus out for tea on my birthday.

Tamo, do you take the Lorazepam for your spasms or when you're distressed or both?

Oh that's interesting Dawn, I'd never heard of that. Sounds like some good birthday plans, I hope you have a great day.

I'm just getting worked up about every tiny thing.

The lorazepam is for anxiety but a handy side effect is it reduces the spasming. I'm on lamotrogine for the spasms and that will be increased soon under order of the neurologist.

Is there anything you could think of osc that would help? A way to say no to all the thoughts? Sounds stupid but a puzzle type thing. I won't lie, sometimes the best thing for me is TV or an audiobook.

Morning everyone

Hola! How are you?

Bonjour! I'm struggling with some stuff but feel physically better than i did yesterday

How are you?

I'm ok. I was thinking of walking back from mass later but it's forecast to chuck it down. I will walk tomorrow.

Would it help to talk to staff?

Yeah the weather isn't great!

Probably not
They'll just tell.me I'm delusional again and that just annoys me

I understand that!

I wanted to buy a t shirt that says 'I'm not delusional, just ask my talking unicorn' but i decided against it :tongue2:

That's an awesome t shirt!

Yeah it was pretty cool!
I like my quirky t shirts

In my ward I'm known for my quirky t-shirts.

Have you bought any from QWERTEE Beckie?

I have one that I bought from the Grum Reapur that says 'life is wondawful'

I have done in the past but not this time because they take FOREVER to deliver!

That sounds awesome!

I've never noticed them taking forever to deliver.

Where do you get your t-shirts from?

It took quite a while last time!

I got the last lot from threadheads.
And some today from shirtbox.

I'll need to check them out.

How is everyone this evening?

Can you believe there have been three storms in a row?

They are similar to qwertee!

I'm ok. Had prn and a shower so I'm chilled

I know!
It just started chucking it down here! Could have showered outside!!

I'm glad you're ok Beckie. What are you getting up to?

I'm not sure about showering outside!

Just random internetting currently!
Going to go and make a coffee i think

Haha! The rain has calmed down now. I did want to go outside in it though! I like jumping about in really heavy rain!

Is there much going on in your random internetting? Enjoy your coffee. The rain can be quite fun!

Not really!
Thanks, i have now had my coffee!

What are you up to?

Morning guys

Aloha, how are you?

I'm ok. Apart from the anxiety which seems to be pretty standard these days!

How are you?

Do you have any coping skills or PRN? Or both?
