Glad your blood test went smoothly Tamo.

That tattoo sounds really awesome Beckie!

I am finding things hard.

not_so_insig 04-03-2024 04:08 PM

Sorry you're finding things hard Jen.

Cacoethes 04-03-2024 04:41 PM

It is awesome!

Sorry you're struggling jen
Hugs if wanted

tamobhuuta 04-03-2024 04:44 PM

That's a very cool tattoo.

Extending hugs lr.

one_step_closer 04-03-2024 04:47 PM

Glad your blood test went well, Tamo. Hope you get an appointment with the psych soon.

Sounds very cool, Beckie. Did you come up with that idea?

You can get through this, Jen.

tamobhuuta 04-03-2024 04:49 PM

Thanks osc. What are you up to?

one_step_closer 04-03-2024 04:50 PM

I've done some reading now just having a trawl through the internet.

Cacoethes 04-03-2024 05:01 PM

Didn't come up with the idea unfortunately!
Used a photo as reference.
But i love doctor who, and the van gogh episode. Fun fact, van gogh had the same diagnoses as me. Bipolar, possibly schizophrenia and epilepsy!

long road 04-03-2024 05:34 PM

Thanks for all the hugs and messages of support everyone.

Managed to shower and get changed into fresh pyjamas. Taking it as a win as I have wanted to shower for a few days but not managed to find the energy. Very tired now though and still feeling low. Might nap.

tamobhuuta 04-03-2024 05:41 PM

Well done lr :)

one_step_closer 04-03-2024 06:51 PM

How do you even find ideas for tattoos? There must be so many.

Well done, Jen.

Cacoethes 04-03-2024 07:28 PM

Well done jen :)

The Internet is great for tattoo inspo!

long road 04-03-2024 08:39 PM

The internet such a magical thing

Cacoethes 04-03-2024 08:49 PM

If really is!

Cacoethes 05-03-2024 07:53 AM

Morning everyone

tamobhuuta 05-03-2024 09:19 AM

Hi Cacoethes, how are you?

Cacoethes 05-03-2024 09:35 AM

Morning tamo
I'm ok thanks. Tired as usual!

How are you?

tamobhuuta 05-03-2024 10:14 AM

I'm ok. Off to Mass in a minute. I couldn't go yesterday because of my blood test. I hope you manage to get some energy.

Zurg 05-03-2024 10:44 AM

Hi Beckie and Tamo :)
More coffee and chocolate for you, Beckie!!!
Hope mass is nice today, Tamo!!

Cacoethes 05-03-2024 10:54 AM

Hope you enjoy mass tamo

Hi zurg!
How are you?

I cleaned out the piggos this morning and just been to asda

one_step_closer 05-03-2024 12:07 PM

Morning everyone.

Well done for doing stuff, Beckie. Maybe try and rest for a while now?

Hope you enjoy Mass, Tamo.

How are you, Kat?

If NP is lurking somewhere - I miss you!

I'm meeting up with my gym friends this afternoon to go to Costa. I hope it will be ok and I can speak up and leave when it gets too much. I don't think we're going to the gym any more as I have given up and one person can't go because of her weight. One person still gets support to go to the gym on another day and the other person is getting a PT. We can't be called gym friends any more!

Elmer 05-03-2024 12:09 PM

Unlurking to say hi.
Hope mass is going well Tamo!
Am sending energy your way Beckie
Hi Zurg, hope the zoo is treating you well

Elmer 05-03-2024 12:10 PM

Got ninjad
Hope you have a lovely time Lindsay

one_step_closer 05-03-2024 12:11 PM

Hi, Lio, nice to see you. :) How are you doing?

Also just noticed your R/V, Beckie, I hope you have a nice visit.

Zurg 05-03-2024 12:13 PM

If you like seeing them every now and then, i hope you can continue to hang out, Lindsay.

I'm not so great. Have had a headache and earache for almost a week. I don't think it's a virus or anything, more like symptoms of struggling mental health wise. Trying to look after myself and i am not very good at it. But also tired of being reliant on painkillers. I prefer improving my self care skills as opposed to keep struggling all the time.

The piggos must be very grateful, Beckie. I hope they give you some wee, furry love too :)

tamobhuuta 05-03-2024 12:23 PM

Mass was good thanks guys. My sore leg meant I had to call my dad for a lift home :(

Sorry you're not feeling well Zurg, well done for trying to look after yourself.

I hope you have fun at Costa osc.

tamobhuuta 05-03-2024 12:24 PM

Well done for jobs Cacoethes.

not_so_insig 05-03-2024 12:38 PM

Morning all.

tamobhuuta 05-03-2024 12:45 PM

Hi insig how are you?

long road 05-03-2024 01:07 PM

Afternoon all!

Hope your endeavours for the day are going well.

Currently waiting for a call back from GP surgery as still not feeling right after hitting my head on Friday evening. Receptionist tried to say go directly to A&E but I persuaded her to let me talk to GP, I am not showing any of signs on NHS website that say to go to A&E just not feeling right.

tamobhuuta 05-03-2024 01:57 PM

It's not good that you're still feeling off lr, but I hope you can avoid sitting in a&e for hours!

My day is going OK.

long road 05-03-2024 02:13 PM

Well persuaded GP to let me see Nurse Practioner at GP surgery who used to work in A&E. If she says go to A&E I will have to go but am trying my best to both be responsible and get checked out but not have to go sit in A&E.

Glad your day is going ok. How does your leg feel now you are home?

Zurg 05-03-2024 02:38 PM

I can't blame you for not wanting to go to a&e, Jen. It's sooo stressful!!! *gives you a gentle hug*

tamobhuuta 05-03-2024 02:39 PM

It's fine if I don't walk too much on it. My mum reckons it's because I walk wonky.

not_so_insig 05-03-2024 02:44 PM

I am semi ok tamobhuuta. Better than yesterday. I am sitting here waiting for amazon to come with some acne treatment as I have 3 bouts of acne on my face.

long road 05-03-2024 03:27 PM

A&E is super stressful and often triggers my FND. Thanks for the hug Zurg. How are you and the Zoo?

Might well be that Tamo if you put more weight on one side than the other, see how it goes I suppose and see a physio if it doesn't clear up? Glad it's not too bad in any case.

Better than yesterday is something Dawn. Been thinking of you after reading your r/v

not_so_insig 05-03-2024 03:40 PM

Thanks Jen. Hope you can avoid hospital.

Elmer 05-03-2024 03:55 PM

I think my brain may have turned to soup. Just got a tune to a song that I vaguely recognise going round and round like tumbleweed in there.

I hope you don't have to go to hospital Jen.

Sending healing vibes to you all, it seems like things are pretty tricky.

tamobhuuta 05-03-2024 04:28 PM

I'm getting quite excited, I've got a preliminary meeting with a psychologist tomorrow.

not_so_insig 05-03-2024 04:34 PM

Is Facebook down for everyone or is just me?

not_so_insig 05-03-2024 04:47 PM

Good luck tamobhuuta

tamobhuuta 05-03-2024 05:05 PM

Thanks insig.

My parents' Facebooks are funny too.

one_step_closer 05-03-2024 05:11 PM

Hope you feel better soon, Kat. Please see someone if you are struggling.

Good luck, Tamo.

Hope you can get help without going to A&E, Jen.

My Fb has logged me off and said my password was wrong and then keeps having an error when I try to change it.

Cacoethes 05-03-2024 05:12 PM

My fb is doing the same lindsay

long road 05-03-2024 05:14 PM

Alas I have to go to A&E my eyes went very weird when I was trying to follow nurses finger and I fell over when she asked me to stand up and close my eyes. But at least I went and found out I needed to go. Just grabbing phone charger etc. from home and then heading up

one_step_closer 05-03-2024 05:18 PM

Fb is annoying sometimes. How is your day going, Beckie?

That's a shame, Jen. I at least hope you're not waiting too long and don't have to stay in hospital.

tamobhuuta 05-03-2024 05:20 PM

Sorry you have to go to a&e lr. I hope you're not too long there.

How are you osc and Cacoethes?

long road 05-03-2024 05:21 PM

Nurse thinks I need a CT scan. But hopefully nothing untoward going on.

tamobhuuta 05-03-2024 05:38 PM

Fingers crossed the scan finds nothing untoward. Will you have to wait long?

not_so_insig 05-03-2024 05:45 PM

Hope everything is ok and that you don't have to wait too long Jen.
