I did until I started swapping meds. It sucks big time.

Not being able to sleep is really awful :(

I know it sounds a bit airy fairy Lillie but have you tried pillow mist, usually lavender or something, I was really skeptical at first but it's really helped my sleep.

Also good early morning to you all!

Morning !

I only woke up for the loo. There may be salvation yet. But I will bear that in mind buttons. Where do you get it from?

Morning, what's everyone's plans for today?

Chinahorse I know you can get lavender pillow mist from Avon.

Morning people!

I am in work today :( Just waiting for the train now. Then hopefully gym this evening. How about you?

I initially got mine from Avon or similar then when ran out Amazon.

Morning Davy :) I have group and a session with my keyworker today, you?

Morning Eska, sucks you have to be in work, hope you enjoy the gym.

Jinxie I believe that throwing a slipper at someone is totally a legit response to being fundamentally unhelpful.

Lillie I've sent you some pillow mist, just in case it helps, should arrive between the 20th-25th of this month.

My dad bought me a funny tongue in cheek joke book on mindfulness for Christmas and on one of the pages it says 'try to use fewer words let people know how you feel with a smile or a frown, or by throwing your keys at the back of their head'. You reminded me of that :P

Hey guys

Hiya Beckie, how are you?

Jinxie I'm glad the doctors are doing something.

Buttons I hope your day is going well.

Im ok.
Ward are messing about with the whole meds thing again
Takes me around 2 hours to get to the ward and they're telling me I have to get there for 5pm unless they call and say otherwise :plain:


How are you eska?

That sounds very frustrating :/ Never nice to be waiting around on other people to organise something like that. Are you going to be ok getting there and back?

I'm ok, slightly shaky because I just spoke to my boss about mental health stuff for the first time (only because I'm going to need time off work to go on a course I'm being referred for). He was good about it though.

Yup.
Getting there will be ok, i just worry about getting back in the dark because i have to do some walking.
Sure I'll be fine though.

Thats good that he's being good about it.
Always helpful to have supportive colleagues

I hope they call you sooner and that you don't have to come back in the dark.

Yeah, he was good about it. The awkward bit is going to be explaining to all my colleagues...

Hello everyone. *sends love*

Eska, do your colleagues need to know the whole ins and outs of stuff?

No, all I'll say is that I'm going on a course. They'll still want to know what it's for but I've no intention of telling them.

*sends love back*

Hello everyone.

On the ward and of course no sign of meds
And its pouring down with rain :plain:

Oh dear that's not good Beckie. I would totally kick off especially as you don't exactly live down the road.

Finally got meds but its not the 2 weeks worth that was requested. Its 4 days.
Which will at least take me to ward round on Thursday.
So frustrating!
And they want me to go in yet again on monday for an ECT review.
Argh!!
This is costing me a fortune

I would be complaining to pals if I were you.

I think I will.
Although the staff were very apologetic.
Such a pain though.

I just missed a bus so got to wait 30 mins now.
At least the dodgy station road is done!

Lol, I'd take it as a compliment :P

Hi Eska, Dawn, what are you up to?

Sorry you missed the bus but glad the dodgy road is done Beckie.

I went to group and saw my key worker today and just polished off a Chinese takeaway (diet starts tomorrow, always tomorrow! :P)

Hope you get home asap and as dry as possible Beckie.

Hi Dawn.

Sounds like a good day Buttons. Tomorrow is always the perfect time to start a diet!

I am just watching TV and I am waiting for eggheads to finish so that I can make my chips, nuggets and beans. No ready made food here as I have to do proper cooking.

Hi Lindsay.

Sounds like a good day buttons!

Im planning on cooking a spag bol when i eventually get home!

Ha ha very true re diet Lins. What've you been up to today?

Hope you enjoy your dinner Dawn

Mmmm spag bol-save some for me Beckie? kthx

I will have a plate of everyones food if there's any going spare. :-p

I've mostly been doing housework.

*sends left over beef fried rice and spring rolls*
Good for you doing housework-a pain but has to be done!

you dont want to share food with me tonight OSC i'm contagious

*presses buttons*

*pushes Zombie over*

Oh no Zombie, what’s wrong? Or is it just zombification that’s contagious?

*lands on a comfy beanbag*

eskamo, I have a cold

Boooo colds.

I am feeling crampy and sorry for myself.

to be fair I feel better than I did yesterday and I should be ok for work tomorrow

Aw that’s good

Colds and cramps suck, hope you both feel better soon.

I'm currently rewatching HP and the Halfblood Prince

I Forgot Cheeesseeee :'(

You don't need cheese on spag bol!!!

Yes I do!!!

No you don't!!

Cheese is life

hi coco :-D

Cheese is life, but spag bol is just fine without it.

What's your favourite cheese out of interest?

Mozzarella, red leister or cheddar
Or feta

I meant pick 1 :P but that would be a harsh thing to enforce when it comes to cheese.
