community-based psychiatric adventures of the mentally normal

[Mitchy1nge]

am not sure if mavis is still in this one

What time's the interview?

(Didn't actually end up going in that time, but it stuck in my head. Your experience is far worse, Ivy - it must've been so scary.)

Yes but I guess it did save my life!

Interview at 9.30 can't sleep but must try... Night.

Yeah, that's the other side of it, I guess.

I hope you get some sleep and good luck. I'll cross my fingers for you

good luck ivy

and hello to anyone else peering in at our goldfish bowl

feeling morose about my factitious pseudodementia but have ordered some b vitamins so hopefully they will start helping before they've even arrived

and folate

obviously forgot the folate

nobody wants to talk to me because am too severely cognitively impaired

:(

why do I get the most isolating conditions? am not designed to go through it alone

Hello

Sorry, I was attempting to sleep more.

What makes you worry about your cognitive function Mitch?

someone assessed me

briefly

did not do v well at all in verbal fluency, short term memory and attention

cannot even be pissed off because I ASKED for professional opinion

(sleep sounds very tempting)

less depressingly someone has asked me to do day 3 or 4 of this which is much nicer to think about than whether my brain really is eating itself, or if it is a tumour or whatever

(day 3 or 4 of the quad)

I can we why that would freak you out, but just be careful with the B vits - they can have some odd side-effects in high doses. Did the person mention at all why you might have performed worse than you expected?

Well that looks terrifying to me.

they think my brain is eating itself

I once got MMSEd when depressed and answered every question with "I don't know" and crying. I only know because it's in my notes - I don't remember it at all. Presumably there's a lot of reasons why someone might struggle with aspects of cognitive function from time to time?

I don't know what you mean by eating itself but that does sound a bit shitty. Sorry.

How long til the run you linked to?

July

so lots of time to get fit and well

DP is haring round the whole house turning it upside down and covering every surface in even more crap from every other surface, looking for a remote control, and taking deep offence that I can't handle being in the same room as all the upheaval, especially since when he's like this it's a constant stream of sighing and swearing and finger snapping and I just can't cope with the anxiety it's provoking.

it doesn't sound the most relaxing environment you could be in

(I thought I could go back to bed for a bit but am enduring a bit of teenage mutant turtle, just for long enough to regret buying a streaming device prompted by your smart TV chat)
