    We’re going to Butlins. We loved it last year & have booked the same chalet. Weather forecast looks good too!
    I’ve been swimming this morning and am doing some art this afternoon.

    Hi all,
    Here we are again in the middle of the school holidays. Butlins went well, apart from my step dad falling and breaking his hip. He is now in a hospital one hour away from here. I have done the drive there twice (once last Saturday, once yesterday) I slept 12 hours last night & recognise that I have absolutely no spoons left. My head is once again saying ‘you don’t need your meds, you could reduce them, why can’t you cope ?’ & so on. The childrens’ Dad has them for a week from next Friday.
    One day at a time ....😃

    Please don’t listen to your head - the general rule is that you shouldn’t consider coming off ADs for at least 6 mo this after some stability...... sorry about your stepdad, how long will he be in hospital?
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    Hi Paula,
    We don’t know how long he will be in but we are hoping for a transfer to our local hospital asap. I have been on these meds for over 3 years now & my rational brain knows they keep me well. I’m just over-tired atm. I remember being exactly the same at this stage of the summer holidays last year!

    I completely agree - don't listen to your head about the meds - but it seems to be a recurrent thought with your meds. I'd suggest you talk it over with your Dr hunni and just make them aware that you're fighting these thoughts.

    Sorry about your step dad. Hope the transfer happens soon!

    Hello
    My step dad is back in our local hospital - yay! So much easier for my Mum.
    I am half way through my child free week. This morning I popped into my GP surgery to request some more Lansoprazole as my sore throat seems to be reappearing. It worked to get rid of it last time so i'm going to give it another go.
    Work is really rewarding. I keep pinching myself, saying 'you're doing this, you're really holding things together!'
    I have been out for 2 yummy meals this week & done some tidying/sorting in the house. I've actually done a lot really so a quiet rest of the day is in order. The medication thoughts are still buzzing around but the volume is turned down now thankfully.

    BTW has anyone seen the new Christopher Robbin film?x

    I saw that movie yesterday. It is a great laugh, but Suzi wants to see it so no spoilers.
