It’s ok saying that in her day they just got on with it but if there was another option available they absolutely would have taken it. Back in the day we’d all be locked up in asylums getting electro shock treatments. Thank goodness times have changed.
I suppose it is the right of all of us who survive to a certain age to start a sentence with “back it my day….”, or “kids these days have got it easy…” lol

Tough day. Really busy shift at work, then straight to an appointment with the psych nurse. Si came with me to the appointment so was able to add his thoughts. Anyway, lots of good advice including staggering my meds a bit to try to help with sleep. He’s also going to talk to the psychiatrist about potentially adding Quetiapine into the mix to quiet down my brain a little. Though I can hear my brothers voice in my ear “ADHD, ADHD”…..
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.
Have you had a referral regarding ADHD if only to rule it out? I remember a certain special lady suggesting I got assessed for a certain condition and it changed my life for the better. I hated it at the time but I am so grateful for her insight.
Quetiapine and Lithium? That’s pretty heavy. I can only say that Q has a very calming effect on me and really helps with my sleep. I’m glad you have Si’s support. He’s a good man.
Feel like crap, I hate colds….
Still, on the positive side, my new desk and ergonomic chair have been delivered. My study is raring to go-.gif ")")

Is it a swively chair like mine or one of those superduper plush chairs you can curl up and fall asleep on?
77 and counting, less of the "Old" call me "Mike"
It’s chair that the government have paid for(along with a load of other equipment inc desk, laptop etc) to ensure that, as I’m disabled, I’m not disadvantaged compared to able students while doing my degree. It’s a fully ergonomic chair which cost about £1500!!!!

Wow!!! That’s crazy money however if it makes your studies easier it’s worth every penny.
