Only shitty because she wanted to discuss the Mentally Disordered Behaviour from last night and the bi polar diagnosis and I Did Not Want To.

Has the eye covering helped?

Enpoid · 19/12/2014 20:52

It is helping a bit but I am having to do washing up in between eye coverings so it comes and goes Grin I don't think it's going to be a bad one - have had ibuprofen and paracetamol so will be okay. Il sure there's some codeine out, somewhere.

That's a lot to cover in just one therapy session - bet you were exhausted after all that.

Oooh it's like a little bipolar club here.

Sorry to hear about the car Caulky.

Enpo I'd imagine your wine is rancid by now, sadly.

Enpoid · 19/12/2014 21:06

Wine is rancid anyway so no loss Grin

Enpoid · 19/12/2014 21:16

How's your day been Mp?

MySpideySenseTickles · 19/12/2014 21:20

I'm Only suspected bipolar, can I stay? As long as I stay suspiciously up and down. (Can't imagine I'll ever get back up from this low but ho hum)

Enpoid · 19/12/2014 21:21

We can be a sub-quiche, Spidey?

Mentalpsychiatrist · 19/12/2014 21:22

My day was ok thanks. Had a bit of time to breathe unlike the past couple of days. Only 2 more working days till holiday time. Can't wait.

Enpoid · 19/12/2014 21:24

Rah! Breathing is definitely helpful.

MySpideySenseTickles · 19/12/2014 21:42

Breathing is overrated.

Enpoid · 19/12/2014 21:45

But an asset in most workplaces.

Lithium is fucking massive. Why did no one warn me that it's huge?

Enpoid · 19/12/2014 22:33

Which end does it go?

CaulkheadUpNorth · 19/12/2014 22:34

Mouth

Stuff goes in the other end

Enpoid · 19/12/2014 22:37

Is it bigger than Depakote? I remember thinking that was huuuge.

Enpoid · 19/12/2014 22:38

The worst is iron and calcium multivitamins. Those are enormous and the smell makes me puke.

CaulkheadUpNorth · 19/12/2014 22:40

This reminds me of paracetamol. It's about the size of my thumb nail.

Enpoid · 19/12/2014 22:45

Ack. Has it gone down yet, or are you and it still sizing each other up?

CaulkheadUpNorth · 19/12/2014 22:47

I did it. We eyed each other up first, then I remembered this could be every day forever so I has to get over myself.
It stinks though, just like paracetamol

Enpoid · 19/12/2014 22:50

You won!

My phenelzine tablets smell of geraniums Confused

Mitchy1nge · 19/12/2014 22:50

welcome to the vitamin L lounge

(I often gag and retch when I take it but I think my brain and body have yet to forgive me for poisoning them with it once or twice)

Lithium sounds a challenge What's everyone up to today? Sounds like you're counting the hours, mental

I'm going away Tuesday for a few days, no internet access.

CaulkheadUpNorth · 20/12/2014 15:10

Lithium makes me want to drink everything in the world.
I am off to the cinema with the housemates in an attempt to be Mentally Normal.

SnowyMouse · 20/12/2014 15:12

What are you going to see?
