I usually get songs stuck in my head when I'm walking
Though I've had the theme tune to 'round the twist' stuck in my head all day because we were singing it at work last night

ha! I rememebr round the twist, and now I can hear it's theme in my head :laugh:



it's a bit odd in a way, I can't do visualisation on any level (much to the CMHTs annoyance as they keep attenmpting mindfullness with me) but I have super accurate recall for auditory stuff

Haha!

That's interesting!
I can see how mindfulness wouldn't be good for you!
I hate mindfulness

I do mindfulness every day but I don't know why because it doesn't do anything.

It is raining a lot

It's raining a little bit here.

I've put some washing on.

I hope it stops before I have to go to work!

That's good :)

Do you walk to work?

Yep!
Takes me about 40 mins
Which I don't mind
I just don't like walking home in the dark

I wouldn't like that either. Is there someone you can buddy up with?

Back Foot by Dinosaur Pile-Up =P

Also Round The Twist was amazing! I always thought that someone should do a punk rock cover of the theme tune.

Have you ever, ever felt like this... >.>

Nope
Usually I can get a lift but sometimes I can't
I'm ok for most of the walk but there is a very long, dark alleyway that I have to walk down. That's the scary bit

Ninja post np!

I have never heard that song!

They should! That would be awesome!

It's catchy: https://youtu.be/_7ZQytOqmCk

Never seen the video so dunno what it entails.

I like that!
Video is good too

It's the only song of theirs I know at the moment. Just came up randomly on a playlist I was listening to.

I'll watch the video later when I get home! Don't want to do it at work where anyone might walk in.

I love finding random music in playlists

Yeah that would be a bit awkward!

I refuse to let this talk put any songs in my head!

I saw my psychiatrist this morning and he wants to see me again next Friday and refer me to psychotherapy.

Haha!

That sounds like you've finally met someone decent!

Yeah, he's a really nice guy. I hope he stays and continues to work well with me. Psychs are always leaving here. He's Scottish too, we usually get people from foreign countries.

I don't know why cmhts have such a hard time holding on to their staff!
My psych is a locum but he's been there for about 3 years now
And god knows how many cpns I've had!

You'll need to be extra charming to them if you like them so they feel like it's a good place to stay.

Yes absolutely!

My current cpn just irritates me but I think that's more my issue than her!

Oh, that must be annoying. She looks after your wellbeing though, right?

I've had 3 care coordinators since may, and went the second one left (after one meeting) I had to literally wait for the CMHT to hire a new one :laugh:

I agree that the CMHT seems to have one heck of a staff turn around

Morning everyone

I have spent the evening/night in hospital.
Had several bad seizures on the way ro work apparently
So I've needed lots of IV medication and fluids and tests and scans.
Still got an IV going now
Apparently I was very confused
I hope I can go home soon
I have an amazon delivery coming today!

Oh no! Do you know what caused it? Are you home yet? Sounds like they've been looking after you though. <3

Not a clue!
Not home yet unfortunately
Still waiting on doctor
Nurse said hopefully i can go home today. Just finished an IV and I'm hoping that's the last of them!
They have been really good tbf

How are you?

I wonder if the extra anxiety you've been having is playing a part in your increased number of seizures lately?

Hopefully you'll be allowed home soon. Best to stay where you are until the docs are happy you're alright.

I'm ok, tired... Had very disturbed sleep last night.

Most likely
Looks like I'll have to try and make a neurologist appointment

Yeah. I'm not going to discharge myself or anything
Just wish they'd hurry up!
I know they're very busy though
I just need to get back before my amazon parcel!

Ah that's not good.
Are you off this weekend?

I think that would be sensible. =)

Will your neighbour take it in for you?

I'm off work for 9 days now!

Good news!
I can go home
The doctor was like 'I don't know what to do'
(Very reassuring...)
And he asked me if I wanted to stay or go home and obviously I chose go home!

Ooooh lucky you!
Any plans

Who would choose to stay in the hospital? o.O Unless they still felt unwell or something, I suppose.

Will it take long to get home? Did the doctor not even have any suggestions?

No plans other than getting my garden/house/life in order.

Exactly!

I am home now :)
Got an uber. Just couldn't be dealing with buses and trains
The doctor said they'd contact my neurologist i think
I got home to my neighbour cleaning
Which is nice but I just want to be alone!
I think she's nearly done now

Fun times!

Good afternoon everyone.

Sorry to hear about your seizures Cacoethes, I hope your neurologist has some ideas.

I hope you manage what needs to be done np.

Does she just let herself in? o.O

How're you, tamo?

I am ok thanks np. At one point in the night I thought I needed PRN but then went right back to sleep! It's lovely weather here right now so I might spend some time in the garden.

Thanks tamo

Yeah she has a key
Which is useful sometimes tbh

It's sunny here
But my phone is warning of rain

I hope things settle down for you Beckie. Had your delivery arrived before you got home or were you lucky?

9 days to get your house/garden/life in order sounds like a lot NP! I hope you can make some progress and feel good about it.

I hope you enjoy some peace in your garden Tamo.

It's just dull here so far.

Did any of you have flooding where you are?

No flooding, it's only rained a bit. Have you flooded?

Lots of places in Scotland have and some near my area I think. A river in the place when my aunt used to live has burst its banks.

Thanks lindsay
Luckily I have not missed my delivery!

No flooding here
It hasn't rained that much

Oh no!
Where my mum lives is really prone to flooding

No flooding here either, although I don't know what's happening in town where the river is. It often swallows the footpath when it rains heavily. We had loads of rain this morning but it's all sunshiney now.

My phone said it was raining but there were no Windows in the room I was in

I think it probably was raining. According to my met office app a line of rain went right across the entire country in the early hours.

Exciting stuff, weather.

Tis indeed!

Thunderstorms are exciting.

I love a good thunderstorm

It would be scary to live in places where there are tornadoes and stuff though.

Oh definitely!
Couldn't deal with hurricanes or earthquakes or anything

I like watching them on tv but feel guilty at the same time.

Aren't you meant to be napping?
