Place for us Oldies *possible triggers of all kinds*

The teens have a comfy couch.
What about us?
There was the cafe but it kind of... went?
We need a special thread too.
Where we can talk about the stuff that we talk about!
Don't we?

Anyway.
Here it is.

And here I am. Home alone of a Friday night. Nothing new. But the flatmates are out too. And it's dark and I'm alone. Anyone out there?

What's the high backed chair phase? From backache and creaky bones?! I've had a wonky back off and on the past few days. But that's probably a combo of starting yoga again [for myself, was a trained teacher, so it's ok] and hefting around big boxes of books, and the uncomfy chairs at work. And getting old. That too.

Just overhearing a convo. between my flatmate and his son - dad to the little boy - "I don't want you waking up in the night, you hear that?" I mean, how can you control that? But what do I know, I'm not a parent!

The ones that you find in care homes for the elderly. They have them at the centre that my TC use :) I think some of them are wipe clean aswell.

I love that - how on earth can you control yourself in waking or not waking :)

I think we should have nice big beanbags, the ones that are full length of a person, fantastic.

Ooooohhhhh beanbags, yeah!

Poor kid, I mean, he'll wake up and get panicky about not waking mum and dad and that'll just make things worse, because all that tension will build up. *sends soothing vibes through the wall to him*.

Me? I'm off to bed very soon. Work tomorrow. All day!
And I'll have to hold my hyper-vigilance in check if they have this witch cackling thing hanging on the door like last year. Whenever you walked near it it cackled. Thing was, last year noone told me it did that and I nearly jumped out of my skin!

What're you up to, Carrie?

Great idea, Katie!
I hope you manage to sleep well. That cackling thing would get me too, esp. not knowing about it!!
I hope you have a good tomorrow.
And yes, that poor little boy!

Gosh, the witch cackling thing would just grate on me and I would end up shouting at some poor unsuspecting person.

I'm having a few cans tonight having not had a drink since Sunday. Not enough in to get drunk but fingers crossed I manage to get to tipsy.

Hey Romp!

Hey Carrie! *waves*
I managed 2 days sober..how sad.
Bought beer and wine last night...now I have to wonder why I have to wait till a 'decent' hour to have one (or three...dozen).

***Mentions sh***

I only have a few more cans but purposely bought strong beer which for some reason makes me drunk quicker than wine or spirits do - I have no idea why.

Maybe it will stop me from cutting tonight.

I really hope you can keep safe. It's what? Near 11 pm there?
Can you take your night meds and keep on here till you are sleepy?

Gastric test - me? If so, I cancelled the initial gen med clinic appt today. I haven't had any blood in my vomit for some time now (about a week) and that is despite vomiting a few days due to hangovers and Parvolex so I figure I am ok.

Maybe I got confused? But I'm sure it was you..because of when you ended up in hospital because of the vomiting blood?
It was a bit ago...
Parvolex? My brain won't work right now...heard of it...but it's gone...

---
My daughter has a friend over right now... I really like her...but having anyone else here is not good.
I'm not doing so good with it...but she has to be able to invite friends over...

Just to say that we do have a couple of threads in vets.
Fireside, coffee cake and a chat is a place for general conversation, non triggering.
And
Virtual psych ward for supportive and triggering chat.

I just want to say.. I don't want or need to be in a psych ward, even a virtual one. So yeah. Kind of needed some place to fit in.

I'll pass on the wine... but I'm all for the cushions.
