Winter in the village - support for all kinds of MH issues - depression, anxiety, OCD, psychosis, bipolar...

I know the thread is a bit dead but I thought I would start a new one and see if we can keep it going xx

Oh no ((Love)) sorry to hear that.

Sorry to hear that love maybe an IP stay would be useful?

Home treatment are phoning me in a bit to tell me what they have decided. If I go into respite, I will be able to come back home and feed my cats and stuff.

Even in hospital you can get out and feed your cats etc. Especially if you are informal.

What do you want?

Is respite day hospital?

I think they are asking for a bed on respite for me, cream.

I am pleased you are getting some help Loveis.
((Cream)) - hope you are doing ok x

They haven't got any respite beds so I'm staying at home, with home treatment coming again tommorow.

I'm sorry there aren't any beds Loveis. How are you doing? x

I'm doing OK, thanks. Have asked home treatment if I can stay at home as I'm not keen on respite. Have been to the shops today, am very, very tired because my meds are sedating. Mostly, I feel quite stable and as though my reasons for doing it were a bit silly. Can feel depression creeping in, so might go for a walk in a bit.

I am pleased you have been out. I think maybe being a bit sedated may be a good thing. I think a walk would be good.
I hope home treatment goes well tomorrow. I'm thinking of you Loveis x

Thank you, Northumberland. I went out in the end, but am tired mow. I went for a short walk, and managed to make myself something to eat. How's every one else in the village doing?

fed up, 3 rugby matches and now a football match.
this is what happens when your vastly outnumbered by sports fanatics.
dd is in work ,so unless i go upstairs ,which i dont want to do as im alone most of the time - i have to put up with it.
you sound more positive (love)its lovely weather for a walk -days like this im so tempted but my paranoia always wins.

(Frances) that sounds horrible, not being able to go out.
I feel very sleepy. Am in bed already but haven't taken my meds yet.

did they up your dose or change your meds?
its good your feeling sleepy - hope that means you get a good nights solid sleep.
i havent been able to go for a walk for 18 years , it is horrible,it makes me very sad.

Day 6 of my new tabs. Still feel a bit ill but also a bit more cheerful so maybe they are doing something.

Hope no one minds but I'm starting a new VILLAGE thread for the Spring. I know a lot of you won't know me, but I do still visit the Village from time to time and like many others, dip in and out of it. I don't know how to do that link thing....
