Oh yeah, I forgot I'm not allowed to talk about work + MH in a general sense!.

Apologies all.

No need to apologise!
It doesn't bother me in the slightest. Or probably most people tbh!

But the Sheriff Beckie!!

I knooow!!!
We cannot upset the sheriff

I accidentally napped for 5 hours... I hope I can sleep tonight!

Sending hugs Beth

That is a long nap!
I wouldn't be sleeping much after that!

Naps are love. Naps are life.

They are indeed

I'm so exhausted after todays meltdown I ideally don't want to be at work tomorrow, I think that's asking for trouble.

However to not go in, means calling an hour before I start (so at 6:30am) and then calling again when my manager starts (at 9am) and the thought of doing that is overwhelming

Morning everyone

Morning!

I slept. Although I kept waking up really confused and had a few seizures. Definitely overdid it yesterday. But I had fun.

How are you today Beckie? Good luck for your theory test!

Fun is good, that's something positive! Sorry you had seizures

Good luck today Beckie- I hope your appointment goes okay too.

I was meant to ring the GP at 8, but started work at 7:30 (I didn't want to come in but there's only me in today). No appointments left when I called on my break just now.

This happened yesterday and Monday too ☹️

That's rubbish, Beth :( Can you get an appointment for another day or do you have to always call in the morning for same day appointments???
I hope you can relax a bit today, Jen. And do stuff only because you feel like, or enjoy, doing it :)
I hope all goes splendid today, Beckie!!! I have the utmost faith in your abilities :D
I'm sitting on couch and mentally preparing myself for going downtown soon to have coffee with some friends. I feel too tired but i've been isolating myself and ghosting a lot of people which makes me worse, mental health wise, which then just makes the feeling of hiding even stronger…. I know i am making progress for at least recognising and acting on this behaviour but i still feel like quite the loser…. Oh well, coffee and friends. And a wee girl coming along. And she's mighty cute :) and she is also one of Findus' biggest fans which of course only adds to her cuteness!!!!

Yeah yesterday's brunch was great. Not doing well today but it is what it is

I think you need to prioritise your Health over work Beth and if you are working tomorrow call off sick for the morning to try and get an appointment. I know that is easier said than done. But its already starting to interfere with work as per yesterday. And calling on your break isn't getting you anywhere. Sending hugs if you would like them.

Ninja Zurg!

I have an OT telephone appointment this afternoon but otherwise have no commitments. Right now I am lying on sofa under a blanket with my huge cuddly lion.

I hope coffee and friends has the positive effect you hope for that makes the effort of getting out worth it. Findus should start a fan club!

I passed my theory :-D

Huzzah! Well Done Beckie!

Morning almost afternoon everyone.

Well done Beckie you smartie!

Hope your OT call helps, Jen.

I hope you can get what you need, Beth.

I hope you enjoy seeing your friends, Kat. I know how easy it is to isolate yourself.

I am finally having my first coffee of the day. Coffee is very necesary.

Morning Lindsay!

You've held off for a long time surely, Jen?!

Well done Beckie!!

Yeah it's only on the day appointments ☹️ and only over the phone (at some point 8-5), if you miss it (like me being on the phone with a patient etc) you start again the next day.

How are you getting on, Beth?

I also got my therapy dates 7 weeks ago and work still haven't said whether they'll let me go! Grrrr!

How is everyone else getting on?

Congratulations Cacoethes!

I held off for a long time because my aeropress I make coffee with and the mug I always drink my coffee out of were both dirty and so I had to wash them, but the draining board was full so had to clear that first. Took a while to get energy that clear draining board, wash stuff, dry it up and then actually make coffee.

And without coffee I had little energy

Did you succeed in making coffee?

I did and it has been drunk. I am somewhat more with it now. Just having lunch and waiting around for my OT to call.

Has your ot called yet?

I've got a fresh bed, including a new pillow because my drool had seeped right through.

Nice to have fresh bedding but not as nice as fresh bedding at home.

It was lovely to see my friends. And the tiny human that goes with one of them :)
But i Got a headache when i Got home. Had to do the dishes that had accumulated in my kitchen sink before i could sort the tiny zoo and their afternoon snacks. Just had dinner and the headache is back. I think i need to chill for the rest of the day.
Also, congrats Beckie :D You are the champion of the test!!!!

You definitely need to chill for the evening Zurg!!

Well done though :)

Fresh bed at home will be lovely. How are you?

Well done Zurg.

How are you Ahimsa?

Thanks everyone

Sorry for not catching up
Brain power is using a limited backup generator

I love fresh bedding!

Can I pass on the question though?

Of course.

OT called around 3:30pm. Was a good call but a hard one. I am lucky to have my OT she is really is in my corner.

Watching the culprits on Disney + at the moment

I'm glad you enjoyed seeing your friends, Kat. Hope you can relax now and your headache eases soon.

Let your brain have some rest, Beckie!

So glad you have a good OT, Jen.

I am attempting to roleplay tonight. But mental health is trying to get in the way. We are exploring a tower full of enemies at the moment.

Morning everyone

Morning!

I have a psychologist telephone appointment at 10qm so in wiating mode.

How are you this morning?

Morning jen

Ugh to waiting mode!
At least it's a morning appointment!

I'm a bit blah.
But getting stuff done
Managed to email taekwondo master which I've been putting off, and call eon which i have been putting off since about June.
Called cmht and cancelled appointment because fixing my nail is more important.
Cancelled a non essential appointment that I've been meaning to.
Need to go to the shops and do a mini clean out for the piggos. Getting nail fixed at 2:30.
Then i can hopefully chill.

Well done getting things done! Sorry you are feeling blah though, hope you feel less blah as the day goes on.

Morning everyone.

I hope your appointment is going/has gone well, Jen.

Lots of proper adulting there, Beckie!

How are you doing, Tamo?

You were just a sneaky little ninja there, Beckie!

I know!
I don't usually do much adulting XD
It's a lot of stuff I've been putting off for no reason tbh

How are you lindsay?

Morning everyone :)
And yay for all the adulting happening here!!!
I am attempting to bake a vast amount of raisin buns for the birthday party with some friends this weekend. I am taking a break while the dough is rising. We are all a bit tired because a certain someone had zoomies all night long….. Like, i'm not saying it was Findus….. But it was Findus!!!! XD

Well done guys!!

Also good morn!

I do that sometimes, put things off for ages then do it all at once!

I'm just dreading trying to get through the day really.

Can you make me a bun with no raisins please, Kat? Findus sounds worse than a cat!

Morning, Beth. Hope you have a good day.
