How long is it going to take to fix lindsay?
It's just such a long walk! Though doughballs are work it tbh! And it's not actually really a long walk. But it's one long road, which makes it seem like a long walk! It will be mental up there. School holidays + Saturday! It's sunny again now :eyeroll: Enjoy your chai tea! |
We went to a retail park and there were SO MANY CHILDREN.
|
Asda has rehydration salts. You should buy them Beckie; (Continuing my likely pointless campaign to help you with your hydration. Because even if you buy them you will likely forget to use them XD)
|
I have returned!
Lots of children, yes! And i went into m&s. So a ton of very slow old people. But i actually did the walk in 13 mins somehow??? Must have gone through a time warp XD I should buy them. I will forget Not doing asda now anyway! |
But did you get the garlic dough balls???
Also sad times Lindsay, I hope you get it fixed soon! |
Can confirm possession of garlic doughballs.
And i just realised what an amazing gluten free and vegan range M&S has. I am neither, just something i noticed |
Om nom nom nom garlic doughballs.
I am just about to leave to head to afternoon tea |
Have a lovely time jen!
|
Doughbaaaaaaaaalls! :woot:
|
Om nom
Cream tea ftw! |
Where are the people?
|
I am here! How are you doing tamo?
|
Mixed. How are you? Been up to much?
|
Oh that doesn’t sound great! Up to anything this evening?
I am just out collecting our carryouts for dinner, yum!! |
Oo yum. I've been collecting relevant info from old diaries.
|
I got home about an hour ago and having been trying to rest but not quite managing it. Seeing family was tiring but the 90 year old birthday girl enjoyed herself which is main thing.
Food was good I have some cake left for tomorrow. |
relevant to what tamo? If you want to share!
Glad the birthday girl had a good time at least Jen; hope you get some rest soon. |

Totally read that as "carrots" and was part way through thinking "Wow, so that's vegan life..." before I realised. What did you get?! Birthday cake for tomorrow is something nice to look forward to, Jen. |
I want to see my risk score over the years. Back in uni I started recording it most days. I've kept hold of all my diaries! So far it seems things have got worse :(
|
Is this a good thing to be doing, tamo? Maybe your parameters are different to back then.
|
Np - that's the beauty of the score, it's always the same parameters.
Meanwhile, good morning everyone! |
But what if your 'worst' now, isn't what you worst was?
If that makes sense! My 10/10 score 10 years ago would be VASTLY different to a 10/10 score now! Just due to meds, circumstances, age, environment etc. And morning! |
Good morning friends and associates!
tamo, I'm interested in these parameters- are none of them subjective? |
Can I concentrate?
What's my motivation like? Am I hearing voices? Do I believe things others don't? Do I have plans to act on those things or to harm myself? A score out of 2 for each: 1 for yes it's there, 2 for its a problem. Then, to stop professionals confusing it with a mood score out of 10, I divide it by 2 to get a score out of 5! |
Morning jenna!
*wonders if i am friend or associate* :tongue2: Does seem like things that could change quite a bit! The harming one could be quite black and white i guess, but the others could change parameters quite significantly over time |
There goes my faith in my infallible scoring system!

tamo, those sounds like really sensible and insightful parameters to use for your ratings system. I agree that they could still be subjective over a long period of time (I wonder if at your worst you might have put 0 for believing things others don't believe because I think you were convinced that other people believed them too but were lying?) but it sounds really useful to monitor how you're doing over shorter periods of time. |
Thanks Pi. How are you?
|
Jenna coming in here, causing drama!
Parameters can always change. That's why i tend to refuse to do the 1-10 scale now. And explain why. 1-10 just seems so black and white when mental health isn't like that. I could be at an 8 for a good mood, but then a 2 for psychosis, and maybe a 6 for motivation.....you'd need like an entire appointments worth of time just to cover all the different scales you'd need! |
Whenever they ask me my mood out of 10, I say 6. Anything else gets misinterpreted.
|
Hi all :)
Ugh, i hate it when they ask about mood on a scale >:( Or the famous “so, where do you see yourself in 10 years??” I personally feel like it's a stupid way to ask. And i don't like to use precious appointment time on answering silly questions. I have a sore throat. Started last night. Has gotten worse. I feel quite sorry for myself. Mostly because there's never anyone else to feel sorry for me ;) |
tamo, have they noticed yet that you just always say 6??
Sympathy for your sore throat Zurg! I am feeling sorry for you if that helps. |
Hi Zurg. Sorry about your throat :(
|
Probably not Pi, I don't think they really pay attention. Thinking about it, sometimes it says things in my notes about 'low mood' or 'a mood component' which suggests they also pay attention to what I don't say. Which is good I guess?
|
I used to hate it when they used to say 'you have your whole life ahead of you'
They haven't said that since i was about 25..... Many sympathies for your sore throat zurg! They are dreadful! Plenty of ice cream for you! My psychs seem to make stuff up as they go along. They said i appeared dysphoric last time XD And that i was talking really fast. I absolutely wasn't! And wasn't and am not experiencing dysphoria. Weird. |
Maybe they should now say that you don't have your whole life ahead of you anymore - that'd be a really cheery way to start the conversation :P
|
I mean, anything is better than telling my cpn about bad paranoia and him literally insisting i think of the worst case scenario XD
|
Oh God, he must be up there in the RYL hall of fame for worst mental health professionals?
|
Definitely!
I told him i didn't want to think about it. Multiple times... |
Was he actually mad himself?
|
Probably. He randomly shaved all his hair off recently.
And asks questions i LITERALLY just answered. And that's using the actual definition of literally. |
When I saw my CPN last week he was worried my period coming early had traumatised me. He kept asking me if I was ok and I had enough pads. Asking once was fair enough but!
|
That's really weird!
|
*pokes head into thread* Hi!
|
Oh my days tamo!!! As if you’d reach this age and suddenly need a CPN to help manage your periods :plain:
Hey Jen’ |
*waves*
I may not be doing so good. Nothing serious just a little off. |
Hi LR. Would a hug help?
|
Sorry to hear that jen!
I am currently being subjected to the same 30 seconds of the same songs on repeat while jasmine watches and makes tiktoks :plain: |
Hug would be nice.
I think it's partly because it's first day of my period and seeing as I anaemic it's taking more out of me than usual. That and my brain mildly trolling me. |
Oh God, bloody tiktok.
