and partial hooray for the weirdness that is tramadol I suppose

It's made me a DD instead of a B. I tried one on too and it fitted better. I have no idea how that works or whatever because I am sticking with it because it's cheaper than a boob job.

It's myhermes, I think, and they're delivering DP's Christmas present too. Been waiting fucking ages and I don't even know if I'll be keepibg it yet as I'm not sure of the size - I've ordered a 32H but might need a GG or an HH.

I'm so glad drug-induced hypomania doesn't count for a bipolar diagnosis because the MH lot have smoothly segued from going "?hypomania" a few weeks ago to just talking and writing about it like it's an actual bloody FACT, however much I am beginning to suspect I've never been hypomanic at all.

NOBODY comes out a AA on the MN interventions. Not even men. Skinny men.

Also Amazon haven't even DISPATCHED my jamjars which is bloody annoying because I have a kitchen full of about thirty packets of nuts and can't do anything about it without the jars.

Enpoid · 15/12/2014 18:05

Have ordered some more from a different seller. Maybe they will bother to send them.

Mavis is driving me FUCKING INSANE. She has this habit of telling you what she assumes you want to hear, which is always way off base anyway but is utterly infuriating. So tonight, DP messaged her asking if she wanted to come round for dinner. Relevant info: she either does, or doesn't, like spicy food, and does, or doesn't, like meat, depending on either menstrual cycles or what she thinks we want to hear or the phases of the moon or what Jesus told her or something.

So DP said, "Curry tonight if you want some (veggie)", knowing she usually doesn't eat a lot of meat.

She messages back, "Yes! & Yum! :-) I don't mind some meat ;-) x"

Clearly there's been a miscommunication here, so I messaged apologising for it being veggie curry, then DP pointed out he could easily put some chicken in it. All fixed, yes? No. Mavis messages saying "I only said that because I know you like meat". Now DP is out and I have no idea whether she wants meat in her curry or not because she tells you what she wants is whatever she thinks you want her to want.

Just say what it is that you want, woman!

Enpoid · 15/12/2014 18:26

Mavis: Ok, well veg is perfectly fine then-I don't want to mke a problem-leave it to veg then

Me: Either way is not a problem. I really don't care and [DP] doesn't mind.

Mavis: Ok x but veg does sound Great anyhow guys ;-) xxx less work

Half the trouble is she is doing it to try and be helpful and likeable. I am trying myself to unlearn the habit of saying "I don't mind" or "Anything, really" in response to questions about my preferences in a misguided attempt to make things easier for other people after coming to the realisation some time ago that this actually shifts cognitive effort and responsibility on to the other person, and doesn't make it easier for them at all.

Veg curry sounds lovely. It's lazy fish and chips here. Couldn't be bothered to cook.

MySpideySenseTickles · 15/12/2014 19:03

Does it always make them bigger when you measure? I'm a 38G at the mo, I think If they get any bigger I'll fall over!

CaulkheadUpNorth · 15/12/2014 19:08

I want fish and chips. I can't persuade anyone else in the house to get them though and I can't just for me. It's on the list of Impossible Tasks. Sigh.

It might not make them bigger. You might be measured correctly?

Mitchy1nge · 15/12/2014 19:13

mine are about the same, gravity isn't the bulking agent I'd hoped for with cup size

teen has prepared roast lamb, roast potatoes, roast parsnips, roast carrots and boiled veg - sprouts, carrots, petit pois (I think they might be the Injury Peas but better not say so) and gravy. This is good preparation for Christmas Day but I think I will pop.

someone is countering on about obesity on a thread about funding for ED in young people - what is wrong with people?

I feel your pain, quite literally, Spidey - I'm sitting here looking at a 38G I was wearing a few months ago. It's in my stuffed-full "bras which no longer fit but which I only wore for a few months and can't bring myself to take to the charity shop for recycling" bag.

Enpoid · 15/12/2014 19:17

This obesity obsession is starting to get on my uncomfortable tits. How dense do you have to be to start going on about obesity on a thread about deadly mental illnesses?

Enpoid · 15/12/2014 19:18

Well, not literally at all, actually.

Enpoid · 15/12/2014 21:30

That was a nice curry. Shame Mavis missed it.

Mentalpsychiatrist · 15/12/2014 21:34

Mavis did a no-show?

Enpoid · 15/12/2014 21:36

She was waiting in for her dealer/ex/regular fuck to turn up with her dope, and his train was delayed and they were probably shagging so DP has only just gone round to collect her.

Enpoid · 15/12/2014 21:42

With any luck she'll be nicely warmed up and mellowed by now. She's almost unbearably hectic to be around when sober and I can't handle a whole night of Jesus again. Everything is really hard when she's sober - even walking down the street is tough cause she'll suddenly stop and stare at something on the ground that looks like a message from God, or stop to have a conversation and a hug with a homeless guy she's never met before and ask to share his spliff (apparently it had something that wasn't cannabis in it - baaaad evening) or something.

Enpoid · 15/12/2014 21:44

I'm not completely heartless - I did leave a portion of curry in the pan for her Smile

Enpoid · 15/12/2014 21:49

We went out for a curry one evening while I was in hospital, with Mavis sober. She ate only poppadoms and dip and none of the curry she ordered, talked the ears off the waiters and the proprietor, referred to herself as "coloured", and insisted on leaving evangelising Christmas cards for all the staff. She's really lovely and cares about people so much, but just does it in a slightly difficulttohandle way.

Enpoid · 15/12/2014 22:05

I'm all for people choosing their own descriptors but coloured?

Mentalpsychiatrist · 15/12/2014 22:07

Not the wisest choice of words.

Mentalpsychiatrist · 15/12/2014 22:10

Watching that tit Farage on channel 4. He really is a monumental at arsehole.

Enpoid · 15/12/2014 22:36

I don't know, I think you get more intelligent conversation out of the average arsehole.

Enpoid · 15/12/2014 22:36

Mavis is inexplicably pissed off and wants to go home. Ah well.
