Morning!
I'm ok thanks. Tired.
You?

Morning! (Just)

I have a day of medical appointments ahead. Asthma review face to face at GP surgery at 2pm. Telephone appointment with GP about mental health sometime between 6 -7pm.

And just got off phone with someone from IAPT. It's no to EMDR with them for now and might be no from anywhere until I am more stable and my life is more stable i.e. not being admitted to hospital every month or 2 for asthma. More details on my thread.

What a fun day for you jen!

I know right :p

To add to the excitement wil pick up my prescription after asthma nurse appointment!

Anyone doing anything more thrilling than me?

Very exciting! :tongue2:

I have a driving lesson at 12:30
Then i need to clean the boys out
I did asda/aldi/pharmacy this morning

Hi everyone. Hope your days go well.

Hope your day doesn't tire you out too much, Jen, and the appointments are helpful.

Enjoy your driving lesson, Beckie.

How are you, Tamo?

Driving is actually exciting! Hope the lesson goes well!

Hello Lindsay, How are you?

Good luck with all your appointments lr.

Have fun Cacoethes!

I've been to Mass and Confession, the priest was really nice. I also had a missed call and email from the ward matron wanting to talk about my complaint. I replied saying to call between 1.30 and 2.30. I'm a very busy lady.

My lesson went very well thanks guys!
Didn't put a foot wrong, according to my instructor :-D

How's everyone's day going?

Hopefully the matron will be helpful tamo

Asthma Nurse Appointment done. As I expected not anything extra they can do from a primary care perspective but she is going to poke the severe asthma consultant for me as I should have had an appointment by now.

Just grabbing my prescription now and then home for a bit of a rest before GP phonecall later.

Hope matron is helpful Tamo and not overly defensive.

Well done on your driving Beckie. It's important not to put a foot wrong when one of those feet is on th accelerator XD

Hopefully the poking works!
I find specialist doctors need a fair bit of poking sometimes!

Thank you!
And that is a very good point XD

How's the afternoon going? I spoke to the matron. I'm going forward with my complaint and with getting the diagnosis taken off.

That's good tamo
Some drs love to throw the eupd diagnosis about, hopefully it will be easily taken off. I know once you've got it, it's a right pain to get rid of!
I've been told i don't meet the criteria for years, but they refuse to get rid of it on the notes for some reason :eyeroll:

*fingers crossed* I really need a long term plan rather than just managing attacks when they happen.

Yeah it's not ideal

Well done everyone for what you've managed.

Thanks lindsay
What have you been up to?

I finally managed to go to Tesco. Also washed my hair and finished the book I was reading.

Well done!

Thank you.

It's freezing today. Are you warm enough?

I don't think it's cold at all today!
Drizzly but not cold

I hate how they bandy about the EUPD diagnosis. It's a serious mental illness! But they throw it at you if you're at all difficult.

Here it's quite cold, and dark.

Yep! It's very unfair

Maybe it is actually cold and I'm just ill or something!
I have been feeling very unusually tired lately

It's really cold here, plus it doesn't help that I need to keep my box room window open to dry the clothes. Even though the door is closed and I have a draught excluder the wind blows at the door.

I hope you're not unwell, Beckie.

That doesn't sound pleasant! Draughts are awful

I hope not too!
If it's still a thing on monday, I'll call the GP
It very much isn't normal for me to be like this
Doesn't feel like normal tired

Have read but too tired to reply to everyone

My GP phonecall went well. He is going to write a letter to CMHT saying that he thinks my case is to complex to be managed in primary care/ with only charity support worker person.

Morning everyone

Morning! How are you?

Morning tamo!

I'm not entirely sure.
I still feel a crisis brewing but i don't have time for a crisis so trying to push through.

How are you?

That's not good :( I'm ok, need to do the dishwasher. The cat drank my water! Even though his was 6ft away.

I'll live

Naughty cat! Your water must have looked more appealing!

Ask for help if you need it. Sooner rather than later!

My new cpn should be calling next week. If she does. I can hope that she's not as useless as previous cpn, but we shall see.

I've done the dishwasher and the drying up. Dad's gone to the butcher's but when he gets back he's going to make tea :) then big sis is coming over lunchtime.

A non useless cpn! That would be great. Fingers crossed for you.

Well done!
Sounds like a nice day planned

It would be! Thank you!

I really hope you can get the support you need and deserve, Beckie.

Tamo, there is no such thing as your water. Everything belongs to cats! Well done with what you've managed so far. Hope you have a nice day.

Thanks lindsay

How are you?

Just my usual.

Are you doing anything nice today?

Not sure yet.
I've cleaned out the boys and been to asda
No other real plans

Hope everyone is getting on ok.

Just done costco. Sensory overload on steroids!

It's a long time since I've been to Costco. Very sensey.

I'm ok. Mum wants me to take lorazepam for my spasming but it was prescribed for anxiety and I wasn't given any when I left hospital.

I took lorazepam.

I have never been to Costco.

Hope the Lorazepam helps, Tamo.

Costco is awesome, but also a sensory and anxiety hell!

I got L insured on my car as well so she can take me out driving now :-D

Sign me up and I'll take you driving too! I'd be awful at it though!

Yesss lindsay!!
Nah you'd be fine!
I don't even need any guidance anymore. I just drive!

In that case you can just be my taxi!

Since my brother got his licence, he's just been our free taxi service.
