community-based psychiatric adventures of the mentally normal

[Mitchy1nge]

am not sure if mavis is still in this one

[Mitchy1nge]

I was just out for a stroll around the internet and found something interesting to read science and pseudoscience

[Mitchy1nge]

(luckily I prefer to go through The Omelette alone anyway)

[EnpoTree]

(checking in - hope this isn't the Hotel California)

[Mitchy1nge]

such a lovely place . . .

[KeemaNaanAndCurryOn]

Hello? Can I join. I'm not necessarily mentally normal, but have been assured that I've reached a more socially acceptable level of insanity.

[Mitchy1nge]

is good to see you

how are things?

[KeemaNaanAndCurryOn]

I'm good. I had a wonderful two weeks of hypomania where I was exceptionally productive, but am back in blah land now.

[Mentalpsychiatrist]

Hello lovelies, greetings from a chilly New York. Having a lovely time sightseeing, shopping, eating and drinking. Hope you're all well.

[EnpoTree]

Hello and welcome Keema.

Glad you're having a great time Mental.

Thanks for the link Mitchy.

I came to bed at 8 hoping for sleep but no sleep has yet come

[KeemaNaanAndCurryOn]

Sleep is a strange one for me at the moment. I'm trying to avoid taking stuff for it in the hope that I drift off, but it's so very hit and miss.

[EnpoTree]

It worked last night. 8pm to 8am. Then 6hrs immobile horrors, 2hrs slow, 3hrs able to walk/talk then the crying hit again then I came to bed tired out like the night before. But no sleep this time. Perhaps it's because I stopped my pregabalin. DP threatened to throw it out after I took it last night anyway. No more drugs. No way.

Sorry to hear you're struggling with sleep too, Keema.

[EnpoTree]

How is everyone doing this morning? No immobile horrors for me today, hurrah.

[Mitchy1nge]

the horrors of a spa day

was bad enough when I thought daughter #1 was dragging me out of the house for a fucking manicure on a Sunday morning but there are other treatments to endure

she says is to spend time together but we are in separate rooms so duh

[EnpoTree]

Sounds like utter hell to me, but then I'm odd.

Enjoy

[EnpoTree]

[Mitchy1nge]

it wasn't great but feel bad, she's also booked a trip to Berlin for us and I can't go on those dates (she agreed spa thing was grim, we got out of there promptly)

[Mentalpsychiatrist]

Oh to be able to sleep. Been up since 4.30 even with the aid of zolpidem. Haven't gone mentally abnormal yet but I'm being watched like a hawk. Off out for another day in the Big Apple.

[EnpoTree]

Oh what a shame, Mitch. Bad luck.

Glad you still seem to be mentally normal, Mp - hope you're enjoying your morning

Am at Starbucks because DP wanted to go trying to be normal. Getting funny looks for my liquorice root

[KeemaNaanAndCurryOn]

I am in soft play hell. I was dragged here with the promise that this pit of children had good coffee. They forgot to make our coffee. Pah.

After having a few despondent days, I'm feeling cheered by getting more signatures on the petitiom we're running.

I'm up and down like a yoyo. I'd like a bit more of the up.

[EnpoTree]

Ooh yes some more up would be nice here too please

I'm so impressed by your amazing work with the petition, Keema and really must get around to signing it.

Demand coffee. It is your right.

[KeemaNaanAndCurryOn]

It turned up. It's was indeed good.

I still hate soft play though.

[EnpoTree]

Would soft play be improved by there being a supersized version for the accompanying adults with booze?

[Mitchy1nge]

I AM SO GRUMPY

(when is it bedtime? :()

[Mitchy1nge]

(also can smell cat wee)

[EnpoTree]

Do you have a cat?

If not, time to worry.
