community-based psychiatric adventures of the mentally normal

[Mitchy1nge]

am not sure if mavis is still in this one

Sorry to hear you're still feeling low, NanaNina. Keep bailing out that shit

Home again and facing a massive pile of laundry. We shopped till we dropped and ate and drank rings around ourselves. I love New York. I also appear not to be high coming off an overnight flight and dealing with time zone changes. It could still go horribly wrong but it looks ok for now.

Fantastic Hope you stay nicely stably mooded and that the laundry fairy visits in the night

Oh Nana that's funny. What we wear on xmas day is PJs until we decide that we'd better get dressed and then just whatever takes our fancy.

The depression, not so funny. I'm on a bit of a hyper at the moment. I'm waiting for the crash.

I don't own any tartan

373 signatures on the petition now. WOO.

Oh lord, I'm high as a fucking kite. I'm going to have to hit the benzos tonight if I want to come down off the ceiling.

At least you got your diazepam prescription, I suppose.

Do you find it helps? I know I went very odd on benzos when I was feeling high recently.

Anyway I hope you feel calmer soon, Keema

Does anyone like short films? I found this one while browsing Vimeo.

Hello. Lurker checking in.

High as a kite also which is good as I have a job interview tomorrow am so I should ace it. But bad as have CMHT assessment in the afternoon and need to be as normal as possible in case they try to lock me up such fun!

And I have no benzos as dr said no.

Hi Ivy - good luck with your interview

(And your appointment of course.)

Thanks enpo.

My phone autocorrects you to empowered. Is this a sign?

Sign spotting is a BAD thing I think.

Unless you're driving a car, that is.

It was supposed to be a play on "entropy". I have no idea why I picked it.

Chaos rules.
I hate the pressure of picking a user name.

Wondering what appt will be like tomorrow. Just been moved onto CMHT from specialist perinatal team. I'm going to hate them aren't I?

It's such a shame. I had a lovely theme going for usernames in a previois incarnation. I would never have wanted for usernames again had I kept it.

I hope it goes well Ivy. I've met some lovely people working at CMHTs.

What's your experience been Ivy?

But I loved my perinatal psych and cpn but now they've left me. Think I have transference issues.

Good so far apart from when they force you into hospital in dubious ways.

Ah. Yes, that sounds unpleasant Did they use the "go in voluntarily or we'll make you go in involuntarily" trick?

Yep. The casual dropping of the word section into conversations...

Only found out later that they aren't allowed to use it as a threat.

Sounds stressful Ivy And dubious, like you say. I had it hinted that I wouldn't want a section on my records, whatever that means, not realising the extra protections and help you get if you're a formal patient. But that was years ago. Can't believe they're still doing it.
