Hey all.

I know the feeling, Beckie.

Sorry you slept badly, Tamo.

Sorry to hear that tamo
Do you have much to do today?

I'm not great but I'll live
Smear test in 5 minutes :ermm:

How are you np?

Eek, good luck. Mention it to the nurse if you're worried.

I'm ok.

It wasn't too bad really. Just slightly uncomfortable.

Glad you're ok np

Well done for managing that Beckie.

Well done Cacoethes.

Thanks guys :)

how's people today?

I'm ok, a bit anxious. But I have put clothes on.

you're ahead of me then, i've not got to the getting dressed stage yet... really should as got to go out in an hour

When people say they've put clothes on it always makes me think that they were just sitting around naked before!

Why is it not lunchtime yet...

Me too np!

What time is your lunch?

:laugh:

Afternoon all.

anyone got much going on today?

Not really. Already done all my things!
How about you?

Nope shadow light. Monday is my day where I dont see anyone.

i've got to go pick up 800 leaflets at 1 that I then need to hand deliver this week - only work I seem to be able to find at the moment :wow:

and got a IAPT phonecall this afternoon to discuss treatment as their wellness course didn;t help me


hate phonecalls

I hate phone calls too, even with friends.

you'd think fter this past year phonecalls would have gotten easier due to practice :sigh:

I prefer to text people

Thank goodness I'm not the only one who thinks that, Beckie!

Lunchtime is 1pm so not long to wait now.

Work is hard to come by at the moment
Good luck with your phone call!
I hate them too

Ninja post np!
That's not long. What's for lunch?

12.30 is lunch here :P


ye, the job market is pants... i've not far off had no income for a year now though so all sort of adulty bank stuff is getting threatened that I dont understand


I have to attempt to be honest with IAPT today, which I am dreading... I tried being honest with my GP a few weeks back and he dismissed me because I have "too much self awareness"

does anyone else kind of feel like making phoecalls is rude? I've tried explining this to others and they give me funy looks... But basically I feel like if I phone people then I am demanding thier attention and it feels rude

That doesn't sound good :/

Definitely be honest. Some GPs just don't get it but hopefully IAPT will.

I get what you mean

Yeah I always feel like I'm interrupting people if I have to call them. I'd rather sent a text then they can read and respond when it's convenient for them.

Lunch was sausage rolls and a cupasoup and some blueberry chocolate that I bought ages ago and didn't really like, hence why it hadn't been eaten.

That's why I hate calling my cpn or my mum because I know they're really busy!
Definitely prefer sending a text

Sounds nice!
I do love a good sausage roll.
Very nearly got one this morning when I got my coffee from the bakery

spoken to IAPT


it could have gone better :ermm:

Oh dear :/
How do you feel about it?

not great... basically i am on ANOTHER 12 month waiting list so no help for a year again :sigh:




but anyway, nnot a topic for in here

Whaaat?!
That's insane!

That's hardly improving access to therapy!

12 months? That's appalling.

What a state the nhs is in.
I mean, I'm very grateful for it but it could improve a lot!

It likely won't improve much with the 1% pay rise either. =/

Definitely not.
What an insult to them!

Totally.

It's terrible.

What are you having for dinner np?

I heard someone was organising a slow clap for the NHS because of the pay rise thing, which kind of amuses me because what could sound more sarcastic/unimpressed than slow clapping.

Ugh, I don't really know. Feel like I should consume some vegetables though...

What about you?

That would be very amusing!

Vegetables sounds like a good plan!

I had chicken noodle soup

I looove chicken noodle soup. Ultimate comfort food.

Vegetables, not so much.

the Last Leg mentioned something liek that, cant remember the details though

That sounds like something they'd talk about! Don't know if it's a real thing though.

It is very good!

Vegetables can be amazing depending on how you cook them!

I like the last leg but didn't see that one

hide the vegtables in the soup?

worst bit is, it's 12 months becuase "my symptoms are serious enough to bump me up the list" so it's probably more like 24 moths for many people

Damn... o.O

No no no!

I'd know they were there. D=

Hiding the vegetables is a good idea!

That's even more insane!
How can they say these things to people?!

Ninja post np!

But it would probably taste the same anyway!
