Being Mentally Normal: The Theory and The Actuality

[Mitchy1nge]

we must be on part 11 or something by now?

Welcome home, Mentalpsychiatrist. Were you skiing? (IIRC)

Hi toothpaste, nice to meet you.

Hi Millie, I was skiing in Switzerland but now sadly back in the real world.

:) We were in France over new year, I've never skied in Switzerland, we are creatures of habit and keep returning to France

Welcome back, mental

Hi again Mental; glad you had a good time (but hope the sleep gets sorted out).

Quite fancy skiing, but don't fancy dry slopes again. Would have to go alone, though. Can't see DP on skis.

I'll ski with you enpo if I survive latest back/abdominal crisis (had to pull over 3x to spew into a carrier bag on way to see Man, am currently in his bath feeling bit better) although I can't parallel ski, in fact I ski like a toddler

I love watching toddlers ski. I saw one ski almost an entire slope, straight down, in snowplough last week, with his father yelling for him to slow down. Kudos!

Mitchy, meh. Do you know what's wrong?

Thanks Mitchy. It's been so long, I may have to revert to snowplough myself.

Shame you're feeling so crap. Did you go back to the doctor during the last bout at all? I can't remember if they decided what it was.

Gall bladder problems by any chance Mitchy?

I'm about to ring the crisis team. They're going to be wonderful and brilliant and helpful aren't they? Aren't they?

Caulk what's wrong?

You've done really well so far this weekend Caulk. Good luck with the crisis team

(Hope that doesn't sound patronising - I really mean it.)

It may be worth getting the kettle on and checking the boiler is working now, to save time.

Thank you.
I spoke to someone at the switchboard, and they said someone will call me back before 10pm and have a warm drink. So I suppose that's just four hours. Although what I'm imagining they will do is beyond me.

Hugs, Caulk. I hope they are useful

It's all going to be ok, isn't it.

Caulky you got through yesterday, you can get through today as well.

I wish I even had the energy to be angry at myself for feeling this low again.

Cannot even be bothered to pretend to be Mentally Normal. Am lying on the sofa crying, watching a programme about baliffs. I have even let the ex friend come in and about at me about being messy.

Do you live with ex friend? That must be tough :(

Yep. We were best friends before the od. There are four of us, the other two are lovely.

That's sad and I can kind of see it from both sides, as I have supported someone who took an OD and I have put friends and loved ones in difficult situations too. :(
Do you speak at all?

(And in both above situations, I don't blame either myself or friend, I was just alluding to how tough it is) xx
