That's brilliant! Well done lovely!
Well done :)
Hi folks,
It’s my ‘recharge’ weekend :) I started the day with a swim - you may have noticed that I am quite into swimming lol. I’m just having a cuppa and then I will get my paints out soon. I’m considering doing a mini exhibition of my art in the spring (at home) Going out tonight so must pace myself. Hope you’re all ok. x
Can we come virtually to your exhibition? Means you get to take lots of pictures and we get to see your art!
Definitely Suzi! I would be honoured to show you all. It is going to be good to have a project to work towards (nod)
That'd be fab!
Morming, I went out last night for a friend’s birthday. We went for a meal to a place that was right up my street. There were lots of interesting pictures on the wall, some photos, some paintings, very inspirational! It took me ages to walk to the toilet because I was looking at them all! Lovely meal and good conversation with a friend I haven’t seen for a while. I had a delicious chocolate brownie for pudding - one of my favourites. I’ve got a quiet morning this morning and then seeing Mum this afternoon. x
Sounds like a lovely evening. Well done for going :)
That sounds like a lovely evening hunni!
Happy Monday :) Today I have signed up for new broadband, arranged an electrician for my kitchen light problem (for Weds) and an aerial man to come on Friday. I feel a bit achey for some reason so going to pace myself for the rest of the day! I’ve got my trusty hot water bottle and SAD lamp to hand! x
Oooo hot water bottle, I may have to follow your lead ;)
Wow you've done loads! Good to hear that you are pacing too!
Morning all,
This weekend was quite busy. Yesterday my eldest sent me off for a swim, I really did need it (volume of negative thoughts SO loud!) She also made most of tea, which I was very grateful for. I feel wobbly and have slept a lot the last 2 nights. The girls are back with their Dad tonight so I have some recharge time. I am booked into crochet group tonight but can always get out of it if necessary. The only thing set in stone today is a courier delivery (my cat’s dry food!)
It’s coming up to 3 years since my hospital stay (due to mental breakdown) I can’t remember the exact date but it was the Thursday before half term. Still on the same meds but I realise they have kept me well.
Have a good Monday x
The girls spend a lot of time with their father, which is lovely..
I Hope you're doing something to celebrate your hospital say..The start of your recovery..
Hope you make the most of your recharge time :)
Yes, i’m going to go out for a meal with a couple of friends (nod)
He is a brilliant Dad. We are in a good routine now & the communication between us is good.
That sounds wonderful!
It's great that you have a good relationship with him for the children..
Hello,
Today has been a struggle. This morning I accidentally took 2 Pregabalin tablets (distracted by kids?) which made me feel awful all morning. I thought I had better miss my afternoon dose (I take 3x100mg per day) I have taken my usual dose this evening so I am back as I should be. The usual ‘you are not good enough’ thoughts are going through my head. My rational brain knows that this is not true but I just feel I have been battling all day.
Mucking up meds is something we’ve all done and is something it (in my experience) usually takes at least 24 hours to get over. So, I’m not surprised you’ve struggled (panda)
Thank-you for your reply Paula - in school holidays our routines alter, normality resumes on Monday!
Just remember you are doing fine. No, better than fine. I am impressed that you can remember what meds to take it have to rely on my doset box.
I managed to take my night time meds at my 2pm time a few days ago......... It happens to everyone at some point!
Hi there,
Thankfully I am feeling much better today! Recognising the need to rest though so am going to fix my bottom on the sofa, rewatching Call the Midwife from the start (nod) I’ve treated myself to some new tea and chocolate, yum! Thanks for being there guys x
That sounds like a sensible plan :)
Sounds like a brilliant plan. Hope you've had a brilliant day lovely x
Hi everyone,
It has been ages since I posted anything on here! I now have 2 little jobs, they are both a few hours a week. It feels good to be earning my own money & to be praised for what I am doing. I’m still on all my meds, which my brain frequently questions. However, I am recognising when I need to stop & rest. Also, my perfectionism has really lowered in volume, ok is ok and all that. I always know you guys are here if I need to vent, thank-you.
Xx
Good to hear from you Arty (hi)
A truly positive post, thanks, I'm so pleased you're doing so well :)
Great post! Well done, lovely
Sounds like you're doing well!
Hi all,
This weekend has been a real struggly one for me. I’ve been trying to appear that all is ok with me when inside I feel run down and emotional. It’s my youngest’s birthday today which has been lovely & I couldn’t be more prouder of them. I think the main problem is my brain constantly questioning the meds. The main reason for this is that I have had a poorly throat & throat ulcer (s) for weeks now (which I am of course deciding is side effects of the drugs) I have been to the doc & although she agreed it could be, in view of my new jobs decided that the meds should stay put for now. She praised me for working & was very kind.
Have your meds changed?
(panda) did your doctor give you anything to help your throat? Do you need to see her again?
No, theyÂ’re still the same as I was prescribed by the psychiatrist in hospital (February 2015)
I think I probably do Paula x
Hi lovely! Sorry about your throat. I agree I'd go back and see your Dr again about it. It could be a hayfevery issue - I know both B and I have been hit hard this weekend with it..
Thank-you for your support (bear)
I doubt it's a side affect of your meds after all this time. It could be you are just run down. Definitely go back and see your doctor.
What a difference a day makes.....
I’ve been for a swim today (always a good idea) and had a relaxing afternoon making things with clay. I feel really good, so relieved as yesterday my anxiety levels were so high. I still plan to see the doctor re: my throat but don’t feel so panicky/desperate.
That's brilliant! I'm really pleased for you!
That's good Arty glad you had a more relaxing day.
