thread on which to be factitiously Mentally Normal (NOS)

[Mitchy1nge]

nobody was wondering but not only am I still alive, the horribleness of my back pain has completely stopped is all a bit tender and traumatised but hooray for me

and partial hooray for the weirdness that is tramadol I suppose

'Trying' to sleep is rarely successful for me. Do you have an audio book or a podcast you could listen to in bed?

Yep. That will be me. You shall all rue the day you told me to stop buying things.

Mwahahahahahah

Yes. Good plan. I will do that.

Buy ALL the things!

Hey, have you read Hyperbole and a Half?

Hope you drop off for a bit I guess it's harder if you've got used to having quetiapine in your system.

Hyperbole and a Half, for those who inexplicably have not yet discovered it.

Feel odd, linking to one of the most popular blogs in the world as if there'll be anyone who hasn't come across it.

Oh god I think when I was drunk last night my mum offered to buy me a ps4 for Christmas and I accepted

Is DP going to sleep ALL FUCKING DAY?

I haven't read Hyperbole and a Half. I don't even know how I've missed it. I have now

Morning sunshine!

Allie Brosh (she of HAAH) may be this century's greatest genius.

The specific post I linked to is one of my favourites but her posts on Adventures In Depression are also excellent. Bt my favourite favourite is the post about the Alot.

I read the one you linked to and thought that basically, that is my life. I then read the comments that said it was also everyone else's life too. Phew.
Off to see children-who-aren't-mine in a Christmas play this morning. Any. Moment. Now.

morning (live update from my bath) feel sick and back is very sore but my aneurysms (abdominal aortic and there was obviously a thoracic one in my shoulder blade) have repaired themselves so as mad cancerous friend would say 'mustn't grumble'

Hooray, no triple A for Mitchy today. I convince myself on a regular basis that I have one of hose when I'm in a paceypaceycantsitdown mode as I read that was one of the symptoms.

The Alot

Yep Caulk great not to feel alone in strugglingtobeapropergeownupdom although being asked for ID and having forgotten it doesn't help

I got ID'd for low alcohol cider a few days ago.

Mitchy, do you have a chiropractor/osteopath/generally helpful person who can be more sympathetic than gp about the back? Have some tea and sympathy, but not till you're out the bath or it feels weird.

This think 25 thing is utterly ridiculous Practically elderly ladies in their late twenties being DENIED THEIR BOOZE!

The GP I saw the other day actually is an osteopath - perhaps you could check if any of the GPs at your practice have a particular interest in that sort of area?

I'd go to the physio but think they would send me to a GP as it's obviously some kind of organ failure

my pt has been to chiropractor college, I see her on Thursday so all I have to do is stay alive until then

am going to try leading my Very Slow Running Group this morning anyway

Have fun.

(hope it isn't really some kind of organ failure healthanxietynosity - this all started when my mad friend went irretrievably cancerous)

The great thing is that whether it is or it isn't, worrying about it can't make it so or not make it so. Resist the temptations of magical thinking!

Make it not so, not not make it so.
