Glad.to hear it.

I am rather unsettled. But doing my best to chill out and remind myself I am safe right now.

Lol lol lol owl pigeons. Talking of owls I just got the Simon cowell owl song running around my head

I hear you on that one.

I know nothing about birds just that there are teeny tiny ones who use my feeders and pigeons and blackbirds who also try to give it a go.

Look after yourself and do something nice if you can, Jen. Nightmares are horrible.

Poor tired, Beth. Someone needs to offer you a full day of rest.

Owls! Everyone is fond of owls. Except for mice and shrews, and simon cowell!
(And jenna apparently)

Its ridiculous that i remember as much of that song as i do...

I hope you still sleep tonight beth!

I'm not very good at resting though, I dont really know how to do it.

Simon Cowell your days are numbered, owls will get you while you slumber!!!!

I could probably sing the whole song with minimal mistakes.

I find a good way to rest (because I have to with chronic fatigue) is to lightly occupy your brain while lying or sitting down. I.e. listen to a podcast or audiobook or music while lying in bed or sitting on sofa. I also find meditation can be a good way to rest for 10- 15 minutes and then be able to get on with my day feeling a little more rested.

My focus is not that good, I'm too easily distracted!! I think I have ADHD, my GP says I meet all the criteria but the ADHD team say I meet zero so thats the end of that.

Before i went into hospital, i wasn't good at resting either!
I always had to be doing something or going somewhere.
Also fairly sure i have ADHD but haven't brought it up with anyone.
Well, my best friend got an ADHD test thing from the trust he works for and according to that, I fit the criteria. I wouldn't be able to take meds for it anyway because of my particular brand of mentals.

Weird that the ADHD team say you have zero!
Maybe they just couldn't be bothered with more people on their caseload?

Some days my options are rest or having a non epileptic seizure, I don't always focus on resting but having such a consequence has made me better at least attempting to rest.

Rest is certainly preferable to a seizure!

I know right. Turns out seizures are not fun :p

Exhaustion and achyness has properly hit me now. But I had accepted that I was going to be borrowing spoons from the beginning of this week to enjoy the weekend.

That said I am happy that I managed to enjoy it with minimal symptoms, I never would have been able to manage 3 -4 hours in a car each way and a whole weekend away in a cottage with stairs, two years ago or perhaps even 6 months ago.

They absolutely are not!

That's such an improvement!
I'm glad you were able to enjoy your weekend. Being away from home can be stressful as it is, let alone with complex health issues

Now to remember this improvement next time I get all woe is me FND means I have no life. I mean FND still sucks on bad days but I get more good days than at the start. Plus no asthma attack which I was also worried about.

I am currently tired enough to want to sleep obut not sleepy enough to actually drift off. I should probably stop internetting but meh.

That's amazing progress LR!

Thanks Beth (and Beckie realised I didn't say thank you to you bein glad for me).

I met a cat called Socks at the pub in the village I stayed in Beth. He was black with white 'socks' on his legs and grey toe beans. I enjoyed his company, until my dinner arrived and he tried to steal some at which point I shooed him away.

Awwww Socks! What a good boy! :)

I love pub animals!
Our old GM had a big floofy dog, but they moved out when he got promoted :(
I miss her

Morning everyone

Mooorning.

I'm just popping in to report a RYL dream I had in the early hours of this morning. Dawn was driving a car near my hometown and I was giving directions. Beckie was in the back (of course) and we went to my house as we were so close. So we chilled there for a while, Beckie was upstairs, I was downstairs wondering if she was "safe" up there (no idea where Dawn went) then other people appeared that I didn't know who were also RYL people and I was asking what time we had to be back and this one unknown person told me and I shouted "COOL!" as I left the room XD

That’s an amazing dream but obviously livid that I didn’t feature.

I love being featured in people's dreams! :-D
I probably just found your cat upstairs and was petting him

Lol jenna

Haha that does sound legit, you don't strike me as someone to Do Behaviours in someone else's house.

Haven't had an RYL dream for a while I don't think, which is disappointing.

Absolutely not! I am a very polite house guest!

I had one years ago where there was a zombie apocalypse.
Most rylers died in the great costa massacre. Only me and Luna survived!

I listed 3 things on vinted, got someone buy them as a bundle, after accepting offer, remembered that i gave the top to a charity shop ages ago *facepalm*
Luckily she was really understanding about it and still wants the 2 other items!

Lol, Costa massacre! Was it the costa on York Way next to Kings’ Cross?

I forgot my meds last night so had stressful dreams :plain:

Haha, glad the person was understanding! I love vinted =D

It was in a bit shopping centre that i didn't recognise!

Oh noooo!

It is pretty awesome!
I'll be using an inpost locker for the first time but it looks pretty straightforward!

Morning guys.

Morning!

I am very sleepy and a bit out of it. Had a few non epileptic seizures in early hours of the morning after I woke up from.another nightmare.

I never went there on a RYL meet in my memory but when I worked in kings cross I went there every morning for a coffee before work! Funny how the world works.

Glad I featured in nonperson's dream :-D .

Morning all. Lorraine and I once dreamt about each other in the same night.

Morning everyone. I hope you all have a good day whatever that looks like.

I'm not sure if I've ever had an RYL dream. Maybe I should be thankful for that!

Why would only you and Luna survive, Beckie? Haven't we all got zombie massacre survival skills? Is it because you do taekwondo? :laugh:

Yay for selling stuff! Equals money! I've been selling lots of Zox wristbands on eBay.

Morning Tamo, how are you?

Sorry you had a rough night, Jen. Sounds really horrible. I hope it doesn't impact too much on your day or you can find a good way to manage things.

It's the gym group today but my support worker hasn't phoned to make sure I don't have covid. This usually means someone else is going to be taking the group. I'm feeling really low and if someone else phones I might just say I'm not coming even though I want to try (I think).

Last night I dreamt I got searched by the police. But I've cheered up now because my Vogue and earrings have arrived!

Hi, Dawn. Maybe you and Lorraine have some kind of joint powers!

Oh, horrible dream Tamo. But yay for new things. I hope you enjoy reading your magazine and love your earrings.

Do whatever is best for you osc, but it sounds like gym group could be good.

I have no idea what's for the best. My brain is just a mess. Rhyme.

We have a lot in common we have found Lindsay.

I hope you are able to sort something out Lindsay.

Thanks, Dawn. I'm glad you have a good connection with Lorraine. I take it you're in contact quite a bit?

Yes we usually WhatsApp each other every day. Occasionally we don't message each other for a two days usually if one of us is busy or if we are unwell.

Sounds like a good friendship.

I’ve just had to register a client who when he gave me his address - it’s the street where the bad thing happened.

It’s not even the same city. I don’t know how to feel.

That must have been a shock. Be gentle with yourself if you can.

Somehow double posted.

I’ve just had to register a client who when he gave me his old address for requesting the clinical history - it’s the street where the bad thing happened.

It’s not even the same city. It’s 50 miles away. I don’t know how to feel.

Funny enough although we met on a mh site we don't talk about our mh a great deal. Usually about other stuff mainly cats or photos from our travels.

NP I am sad to not be in your dream.

I was very brave and made coffee for the gardeners.

Get you tamobhuuta! Well done.

Hello again everyone,

I fell asleep again around 11am and woke up about half n hour ago, do feel a little better now. I have read your chats but don't have the energy to reply to everything.

Hi LR :) do you have any plans for today?

If anyone is on pip (or adult disability payment if in Scotland) the dwp have announced today that the £150 cost of living payment will go in between 20 June and 4 July.

Thanks insig. You know everything!
