Autumn days in the village with lots of support for all kinds of MH problems - depression, anxiety, OCD, psychosis etc

Shiny new thread. xx

Spidey Poor you! I
hope yesterday was just getting all of this week's badness out in one go and things go better from today!

I know what you mean about something being in your sanctuary, I was the same a few weeks ago when there was a spider in my bedroom- it has the whole house to choose from, why did it need to pick there??

(although I initially read your post as it stung you in your safe place- I was wondering if it was a euphemism )

No.... It stung my finger....
I was concerned about my fanjo though as I don't wear pants to bed (I know... Poo crumbs)

If my finger is this sore in can only imagine how my fanjo would feel! Hopefully today will be better Dh is off work so I'm not alone dealing with ds and the teachers.

I've never been stung before. In my head I've decided I am probably allergic since I'm allergic to loads of stuff, so now I'm irrationally worried about it. At least now you know you aren't which is something?

nana I put weight on with mirtazipine but I have now lost it so you will too :) Glad you are feeling better

I am sorry you are not getting the help you need pare can you go back to the crisis team?

collar you are doing so well, do you think you maybe need to stay on the ADs a bit longer while you have all of these changes?

spidey I am sorry you are worried about your son, I hope you can find a resolution to your worries and getting stung is ugh :( I hope it is not too sore

Had a decent sleep last night. Feeling very twitchy today but can't tell anyone. It is hard. The nurse said I was psychotic today but I know I am not. Oh and I am a level 2 - washed and dressed and wearing a special dress. I made scones last night as well.

Reading from a distance. Hang in there fluffy, you are doing well.
Valuim has calmed me down significantly. CpN coming tommorow. Have new anti depressants. Hopefully should help a bit.
Thoughts to all.
Kat.

Spidey - I have nightmares oh that kind of thing happening after hanging my duvet cover and pillow cases out to line dry!
I understand how important your bedroom is too you. I am the same.
I hope that today is a better day for you. It's a small blessing that it was a finger and that your fanjo was left intact!!

Fluffy - you have already achieved more in the day then I have! :) x

Afternoon everyone.

Well the second estate agent has been round and given the same valuation as the first, so it's looking promising that they're realistic. The last one is due this afternoon. Then I just need to stop watching shite daytime TV and actually do some de cluttering and tidying.

fluffy I'm with the nurses on this one. I'm not at all dismissing the power of the feelings that you have at all as they're totally real to you, but try and give a little bit of headspace to the possibility that you're poorly.

spidey you'll have to forgive me as being stung in your safe place made me chuckle as I have a filthy, filthy mind. . I hate wasps with a passion. I can take all the spiders in the world, but out a wasp in my path and I'm a grade A gibbering wuss.

Yesitsme - I've been able to work when really poorly too. I sometimes think that keeping something constant allows you to hold it together a bit longer. It's just unfortunate that with me, by the time I'm not sleeping, it all goes to hell a bit.

vicard that Rewind therapy looks good. I don't have PTSD, but I know so many people need help with it.

Nana let me know if you find a new role that allows me to cry into my coffee. I also can hold a tune, touch my nose with my tongue and throw paper into a bin from a distance. All bankable skills

Spidey, I hate bugs of all kinds. My sympathies. I read yesterday you were unwell, do you feel any better,?

That's great about the house, Keema. You have been waiting a while haven't you?

My heart and head are hurting. I realise now I had distorted thinking, sort of like paranoia, but I don't know how to explain. I get it a lot in real life too. I once made a friend sit and listen to so many hurtful things, I am so lucky I still have friends.

I feel absolute despair because I don't even see how distorted my thoughts are and what I'm doing to other people, it's like I just don't register emotions and think rationally. I'm so so frightened. I am lying in bed crying because I'm scared that I've lost all of my friends, support and that I'm not me any more. I used to be so lovely and laid back. Every one used to call me a hippie!

I think it might be something like paranoid delusions. I'm scared I'll hurt my dd with my anger. It's distressing, even at the time, because I believe it all.

Does any one know where I might a find good source of info on managing things like that? I'll talk to my cpn tommorow, too. I'm so full of remorse.

Are you back at work now keema? Good about your house!

Kat what meds are you on now?

I've had a bad unsafe morning. Seeing my cpn tomorrow.

(Fluffy) what are they doing to help you keep safe ?
100mg setraline, up to 150 next week
Diapazem, 6mg a day for a week to hopefully calm my raving thoughts
Zoplicone as needed, but never take

No, still off work Fluffy. Just waiting for the meetings where the axe will fall and getting the house up for sale in the mean time.

At least I'm not the only one with a filthy mind, Keema

I'm glad you got a decent sleep, fluffy Well done on the level 2 too, that takes some effort.

Ouch spidey

I hope everyone has one or more positives today.

Think they are taking me off my constants this afternoon. Feel sad about dying xx

Dying is overrated. Let's tell shit jokes instead.

What's small green and giggles?

A tickled onion.

How many psychologists does it take to change a lightbulb?

Well, that depends on whether the lightbulb wants to change.

Keema that actually made me laugh out loud fluffy, if you need more observations, you must tell them. Don't wait aroubd, tell them now. They can help you.

How many psychiatrists does it take to change a lightbulb.

None: they detained the lightbulb on a section and are waiting to see if it starts working again.

Sorry I shouldn't have said that. I'm ok really.

I don't know any jokes! Watching ready steady cook x

How many MH nurses does it take to change a lightbulb?

It would take only 1, but they're too busy writing up the lightbulb obs ordered by the psychiatrist.

Fluffy, I just thought. When I'm like this I tell my voice I'm busy, and I will engage with it when I'm not. Or that I'm only talking to it if it says nice things.

As strange as it sounds, could you tell the force behind the delusion that you are a bit busy today, or that you aren't engaging with negativity?

I've been looking up paranoid delusions Nana, Keema and Snowy. I'm so very, very sorry.

No you're not ok, numpty, but on with the shit jokes.

How many depressives does it take to change a lightbulb?

The lightbulb can't change. It's meant to be dark, dark like the world around us. Changing it is pointless.

I'm so scared.

One of the health cares is so annoying. Ugh. And I'm trying to watch tv and they are all talking too loudly to hear it! I just fell so tired.

I'm wracking my brains trying to think of a joke.

Tell them not to take you off the obs. Tell them that some random nutter off the internet named after an unhealthy snack has a million shit jokes at her disposal and you need to stay around to hear them.
