MP At least you are having something healthy Grin sorry ur still feeling low. How has work been going? You caught up with your paperwork?

I've just settled in to watch the apprentice - hoping it'll take my mind off the pain.

Mentalpsychiatrist · 29/10/2014 21:04

Work is going fine, very busy at the moment. Good news is that I'm all caught up on the dreaded paperwork. I'm watching the Apprentice too, what a hateful bunch they are!

EnpoTree · 29/10/2014 21:07

Hello Othello, can I join? Turkey lurkey person struggling to accept current assumption by psychiatrists of hypomania diagnosis here.

I will try not to flood your village with posts as I am aware this is something I have a tendency towards at the moment.

Hope you have all had a calm day.

SnowyMouse · 29/10/2014 21:09

I'm watching the apprentice too Grin

welcome Enpo Smile

EnpoTree · 29/10/2014 21:11

Thankyou Snowy Smile

Mentalpsychiatrist · 29/10/2014 21:12

Welcome Enpo Smile

Pulledapart · 29/10/2014 21:15

That's good to hear MP re work. I agree the candidates this year not very likeable or that entertaining but it's something for the sake of watching Hmm

Welcome enpotree Flowers

EnpoTree · 29/10/2014 21:20

Thank you MP!

Come on in Epno, take a seat, post as much as you want - no one judges on this thread, one of us will have a shared experience im sure xxx

EnpoTree · 29/10/2014 21:29

Have you ever seen a jailbroken iPhone booting in "verbose" mode? That's me Grin Does anyone mind if I dance stand instead? Grin

Sorry you've had to come back Lem but it's nice to "see" you - as a creepy lurker I like to see you about.

lemisscared · 29/10/2014 21:33

Well my phone is an andriod so i am not sure what you mean Grin

I'm happy to be back epno, didn't realise how much i relied on this forum until i threw my toys out of the pram!

EnpoTree · 29/10/2014 21:54

Oh I deregged completely and had my whole posting history deleted Grin Have come back only for the MH boards due to a crisis and am avoiding everything else. I am relying purely on the good nature on MNMHers not to out me if they happen to guess who I am. So don't feel too bad Grin

Victrix · 29/10/2014 21:56

Hi Enpo Smile

Need to catch up on the apprentice tomorrow, also autumnwatch Grin

Need to get some sleep now, night all!

TheOrchardKeeper · 29/10/2014 22:42

Hope everyone's having a better evening. Chocolate here also...not feeling guilty at all Grin

Went to a friend's for the evening despite the very strong urge to stay home and mull over what a shitty person I am etc blah blah MH is a bitch blah. We drank a lot of Wine and bitched about our exes and bigged each other up. It actually helped a bit!

Bumped into said ex (the scary stalker one) on the way to said friend's so needed the Wine Grin Hmm

Hope everyone manages a decent rest Thanks

TheSilveryPussycat · 29/10/2014 23:48

Nothing like a good bitch!

Am still Shock after watching The Apprentice. All going well here, in run-up to another family do down south. Unlike last time, I do not think I will go hypomanic a few days before...meds are fine, I just feel normal on them (well, normal for me Wink )

EnpoTree · 29/10/2014 23:54

Off to swallow pennies take zopiclone. Night everyone Flowers

TheOrchardKeeper · 30/10/2014 07:06

It does taste like pennies doesn't it Enpo Grin Hope it worked!

That's good TheSilveryPussycat Smile

I am up stupid early again despite DS not being here. Just so used to waking up at 6 that I can't not anymore Hmm Grin

lemisscared · 30/10/2014 09:12

Best taste analogy for zopiclone ever!! Pennies Grin

Collardove · 30/10/2014 09:25

Hi everyone, terrible day yesterday followed by a night of no sleep.
Am in a terribly anxious state and cannot even contemplate going to work today. I feel awful and look it.

I didn't want to do it but had to go sick this morning :( It's only my second week there.... But had no choice.

Going to bed now to hide away under the covers!

Hope everyone else is better then me :)

Victrix - sorry you didn't get your op, but glad you found your snake!

Enpo - welcome :)

(((Hugs))) to the rest of you x

EnpoTree · 30/10/2014 09:45

Collar that's rough Sad

Glad snake is found! I had a rat just like that - an incorrigible and recidivist absconder. She had a special place full of stolen ink cartridges, antacids, extra strong mints, crayons, and anything else vaguely edible, which I eventually discovered at the back of my sock drawer the place where ugly socks go to die.

Victrix · 30/10/2014 11:37

Sometimes I feel like I'm a terrible person...then I watch the Apprentice and feel so much better Grin

My degus used to get out of their cage and hide inside the couch. They always squeak though so they aren't hard to find and they can also be bribed with millet.

Still on the theme of escaping pets, the cat nearly left home with the tesco delivery man this morning Grin but it was raining outside so she came back after making it as far as the front doorstep!

Hope you feel a bit better soon Collar x

Pulledapart · 30/10/2014 13:33

collar right back at u with looking/feeling rough. Hope the rest is helping Flowers

silvery glad to see u doing better Smile

orchard bitching is the way to go I don't think any of us bitch enough Grin

Penny swallowing Grin totally agree!

I was totally Shock after apprentice too & can say for the first time found it entertaining Hmm and yes victrix they do totally make me feel better about myself Smile

Hello to everyone else and hope ur all having an okaish day xxx

CaulkheadUpNorth · 30/10/2014 13:56

Wow yes zopiclone is pennies. I tried to take one under my tongue recently (a la lorazepam) and it was foul. Truly truly horrible. Don't do it people.

SnowyMouse · 30/10/2014 14:17

I hope you feel better, collar Sad I hope everyone else got some sleep.

I'm feeling very touched, I've been nominated for secret santa. Blush Thank you to whoever did.
