Basically I have to take bloody diazepam three times a day and be visited by HTT every day and even then the nurse reckons it's 50/50 if I'll need to go into hospital or not. This has gone too far. I'm absobloodylutely sodding fine and visited the drop-in as I was worried I was going to become not-fine and wanted to know how to stop DP worrying unnecessarily after having spoken to CMHT as I was referred from GP as I wanted to avoid becoming depressed and how to maintain my current good humour and general sparkling and effervescent nature. The lesson apparently being that being responsible and proactive with your mental health gets you accused of poor insight and told to take drugs on pain of hospital admission.

She's really fucking scared me. I will not go into hospital. So to avoid it I have to swallow pills that make me slow and stupid and sleepy even though I am totally happy with the way I am now and it's everyone else who doesn't like it. Maybe its everyone else who needs bloody medicating.

I hate this so much. I know its a bad idea to get involved in MH services. So why do I ever go back?

No I've never tried tootsie rolls but got the impression they were more like chocolate toffee than chocolate itself.

It's almost disappointing that all these American treats are appearing over here - I enjoyed the exoticism of reading a book where a kid would get up, throw back their comforter, change out of their pAjamas, put on clothes, choose a baseball cap and pull on a pair of converse sneakers, before grabbing a skateboard from behind their own personal telephone, and coming downstairs for Capn Crunch or Froot Loops and pancakes. Then having a Butterfinger or som Tootsie rolls on the way to school, hotdish and tater tots for lunch, then milk and oreos when they got home, maybe with a PB&J and some OJ, then Kraft Mac & Cheese and a Twinkie or a Hostess Cupcake for dinner before sitting down to watch Nickelodeon…

Now we have almost all of that and it's all really disappointing Grin

I was just thinking 'but we've always had those things' then I remembered I grew up on USAFE bases

sadly (or luckily) we do not have frozen Little Juan burritos, microwavable and technically vile

or canned tamales

YET

EnpoTree · 30/10/2014 22:38

I am intrigued.

I have also heard that there is such a thing as an entire chicken, conveniently entombed within a large tin, for when that sudden urge for chicken strikes and no fresh chicken is forthcoming?

OP posts:
Mitchy1nge · 30/10/2014 22:44

I've never seen that! Unless it's chicken of the sea? (tuna?)

I do get odd and mad cravings for stuff I will never ever eat again even at gunpoint, like AAFES blocks of squidgy orange 'cheese', and 'hamburger/tuna helper' and even creamed beef (for breakfast!) and succotash. Baked beans with slabs of pork fat floating on top. I could eat succotash actually. And creamed corn. And fritos. Frito pie!

Mitchy1nge · 30/10/2014 22:46

cheese dogs
johnny cakes
hush puppies (deep fried cornbread)
collard greens
draw the line at 'chitlings' but should have thought of that before marrying someone from Texas (thank god I haven't seen him for years)

EnpoTree · 30/10/2014 22:46

Chicken of the sea?! Who in hell came up with that singularly off putting phrase? Males me never esnt to eat either chicken OR tuna ever again.

I have a 'thinking about food but very rarely ingesting any' disorder Blush

Mitchy1nge · 30/10/2014 22:48

it just says it on the can

maybe is a brand name?

pacific red snapper, used to like that too

EnpoTree · 30/10/2014 22:48

What is succotash? And does it really suffer?

OP posts:
EnpoTree · 30/10/2014 22:50

Almost everything you list makes me want to puke. Blush

At least none of it is andouille, though.

OP posts:
Mitchy1nge · 30/10/2014 22:50

heh, sufferin succotash

it's corn and beans

and other stuff

the canned one is a bit dismal

EnpoTree · 30/10/2014 22:51

Do creamed corn and creamed beef have cream in them?

OP posts:
Mitchy1nge · 30/10/2014 22:51

even cheese dogs? the batter is soooo sweet

Mitchy1nge · 30/10/2014 22:52

creamed corn is like mushy peas but corn

creamed beef is ground beef cooked in milk

have eaten it but never made it but I think that's it

EnpoTree · 30/10/2014 22:53

Oh corn and beans sounds quite nice.

Is there anything I can eat off your list that's low GI and low in saturated and polyunsaturated fats without processed meat products? Sad

Mitchy1nge · 30/10/2014 22:54

am really not surprised I became vegetarian then vegan then sort of renounced most food altogether as a teen

EnpoTree · 30/10/2014 22:55

Sorry, cheese dog sounds like an insult for someone you gave a blow job to who didn't bother to clean his knob first Sad

succotash? pulses should be ok shouldn't they? unless you have IBS
