Appointment got cancelled so I am taking the decorations down.

tamobhuuta 06-01-2025 03:36 PM

Ahh, Christmas is over. I'm taking my decorations down tomorrow. I might leave a crib up until 2nd February (Presentation of the Lord and the ABSOLUTE last day of Christmas)

Cacoethes 06-01-2025 04:47 PM

Hey everyone
I am drained and frazzled but L will be home soonish.

tamobhuuta 06-01-2025 08:40 PM

Hope you're relaxing with L Cacoethes.

not_so_insig 06-01-2025 10:12 PM

Decorations have been taken down now and mostly put away. Smashed a decoration though.

Cacoethes 06-01-2025 11:29 PM

Relaxing is probably the wrong word.
Had a complete meltdown, which was embarrassing

tamobhuuta 07-01-2025 10:05 AM

(Insig - oh no!
Cacoethes - oh no!)

Morning everyone.

Cacoethes 07-01-2025 10:26 AM

Morning tamo
How are you?

one_step_closer 07-01-2025 11:39 AM

Morning everyone. How are you all?

Are you feeling any better today, Beckie?

tamobhuuta 07-01-2025 01:49 PM

I am ok thanks, how are you both?

Cacoethes 07-01-2025 02:36 PM

Hey lindsay

Things aren't a lot better unfortunately
Struggling a lot

Anyone up to anything this afternoon?

one_step_closer 07-01-2025 05:35 PM

Sorry to hear that, Beckie. Do you have some support?

Cacoethes 07-01-2025 10:15 PM

Thanks lindsay
Kind of. It's complicated
Been a tough day

one_step_closer 07-01-2025 10:45 PM

If you need to post in serious or wherever please do.

Cacoethes 08-01-2025 09:03 AM

It's not that bad I don't think.
But thank you

Morning everyone

tamobhuuta 08-01-2025 09:32 AM

Morning Cacoethes, how go things?

Cacoethes 08-01-2025 09:33 AM

Better I think, thanks
How are you?

tamobhuuta 08-01-2025 12:48 PM

That's good. What are you up to today? I am ok thanks, a bit tired because I got up for the 10am mass which I'm still not used to since my last IP stay.

not_so_insig 08-01-2025 02:52 PM

Afternoon all. It's cold here.

tamobhuuta 08-01-2025 03:29 PM

Cold and wet here. How are you insig?

Cacoethes 08-01-2025 03:36 PM

I'm at work today tamo. Its a 10am-6pm though which is quite nice.
Freezing here too! But dry

tamobhuuta 08-01-2025 03:48 PM

I hope work is going well.

We were forecast snow but that hasn't happened! Just rain.

not_so_insig 08-01-2025 03:53 PM

I am ok thanks tamobhuuta.

tamobhuuta 08-01-2025 04:22 PM

Good good. Up to much?

Cacoethes 08-01-2025 08:29 PM

Work was ok, pretty tedious with all the date checking to catch up on! I am queen of date checking XD

What's everyone been up to today?

not_so_insig 08-01-2025 08:39 PM

I haven't been up to much. Had my mum come here before. Cooked my tea and done the dishes.

Cacoethes 09-01-2025 10:04 AM

Morning everyone

one_step_closer 09-01-2025 12:11 PM

Morning Beckie, how are you?

long road 09-01-2025 01:06 PM

Hey everyone!

I woke up/got up on time for first time in ages today but now feeling tired again only 2 hours later. Trying to decide whether to nap or push through.

How are you Lindsay and Beckie?

tamobhuuta 09-01-2025 01:11 PM

Good afternoon all. I didn't get up till half 11!

Cacoethes 09-01-2025 01:11 PM

Morning guys
I'm ok thanks. Tired. Didn't sleep all that well. But got all my morning things done and now at work.

How are you guys?

Well done for getting up on time jen!
Go and nap if you need to!

Nice lie in tamo!

long road 09-01-2025 01:20 PM

Hope work goes quickly Beckie and it's just busy enough to stop you getting bored.

Need to nap probably but feels Ike admitting defeat. Mind is a bit off today anyway.

tamobhuuta 09-01-2025 01:24 PM

Hope work goes well Cacoethes.

Napping isn't defeat lr, sometimes it's necessary!

long road 09-01-2025 05:17 PM

I didn't nap but I did rest a bit.

one_step_closer 09-01-2025 05:21 PM

I hope the rest helped, Jen. Rest is needed.

Hope work goes well, Beckie.

Did you enjoy your lie in, Tamo?

I supposedly had a functional seizure this morning.

tamobhuuta 09-01-2025 05:41 PM

Did the rest help lr?

It was a good lie in thanks osc. Sorry to hear you had a seizure, how are you now?

Ahimsa 09-01-2025 06:20 PM

Evening all

long road 09-01-2025 07:07 PM

Rest helped a little. Should probably rest more as tired again. Napping doesn't feel safe because brain is wonky so might try meditating or something.

Functional seizures is another name for the non epileptic seizures I have (which are also called dissociative seizures). They suck. But if you have never had one before it should be properly investigated and not just labelled functional cos you have mh issues. Hope they are looking after you properly Lindsay

Evening Beth!

Ahimsa 09-01-2025 07:30 PM

That sounds scary!

Evening LR, how are you?

long road 09-01-2025 07:36 PM

I am ...off. it's hard to explain. But I am weirdly ok with it so we move?

Also I have biscuits. And biscuits are good.

Ahimsa 09-01-2025 07:37 PM

Ooh what type of biscuits?

Biscuits ARE good

long road 09-01-2025 07:48 PM

Chocolate biscuits from a biscuit selection box we were given for Christmas.

What's your favourite biscuit?

one_step_closer 09-01-2025 07:49 PM

I will join you in having some biscuits when it’s tea and toast time here.

They took blood earlier. Think i might have had another seizure and they said someone would do my obs but they didn’t and they didn’t get me painkillers for my head/ears/nose/throat either.

long road 09-01-2025 08:02 PM

Chase them up Lindsay. You deserve care.

one_step_closer 09-01-2025 10:41 PM

It’s fine. I don’t like to bother them twice.

How is everyone this evening? Has anyone watched The Following on my5? I’d recommend it. Best first episode i have ever watched in a drama.

Cacoethes 09-01-2025 11:53 PM

Hey everyone

Definitely chase them up lindsay!
And like jen said, don't let them label them functional seizures when no investigation has taken place, just because you have mh issues!

Cacoethes 10-01-2025 09:34 AM

Morning everyone

tamobhuuta 10-01-2025 10:31 AM

Morning Cacoethes how are you?

Cacoethes 10-01-2025 10:45 AM

Im ok thanks.
Just arrived at work.
It's -4°c!!
My shower this morning was not enjoyable XD

How are you?

tamobhuuta 10-01-2025 11:32 AM

It's so cold! I'm going to have my hairwash when it's warmed up a bit. I hope work is going well. I'm off to Mass in a bit.
