thread in which the Mentally Normal sustain a stream of fascinating chat

[Mitchy1nge]

and die of being cold

I've written a couple of long posts and then deleted them. Sorry.

But I really appreciate the support.

No need to apologise. There are always less permanent places you can chat

And here is fine as well obviously.

Ach that came out aaaallll wrong. You know what I mean.

I know. I'm asleep.
Well obviously I'm not, but I keep telling myself I nearly am.

Hope you sleep well Caulk. I'm going to bed too. Hoping for a repeat of last night's successful going-to-bed-like-normal-people-and-waking-up-at-a-time-that-doesn't-raise-eyebrows, this time without the zopiclone fat chance.

I'm hoping for no repeat of last night- sitting in a&e for two hours isn't my idea of fun!

I've taken the quetiapine and so I should have been asleep half an hour ago.

refreshing sleep and sweet dreams all round, nice dreams, probably about running if we are lucky :) my legs feel full of miles, they are driving me mad in a nice way

Lots of luck for today Caulk, the anticipation is far worse than the actual event with these things (IME)

(I fell asleep during silent witness)

silent witness must be a thrilling show!

My Tuesday is a bit shit so far, #3 has exams and won't go in despite my gentle, firm support (apart from the bit where I yelled 'fuck you then' and slammed out of the room I don't deserve to live etc) but maybe it will improve

how's everyone else? Are you ok caulk?

I had a dream about Tang, that nasty powdered orange 'juice' of my youth. Must have been thirsty?

Am awake. DP selfishly booked the dental appointment for his broken tooth for 9.40am.

Best news of today: I found the bra. DP had deposited it under my shirt on his side of the bed

Mitch, I hope your Tuesday improves from here.

Best of luck to Caulk today.

Is that like Tango?

nah mate

I thought it was powdered juice, it came in big cans but looks like has evolved over the years

nasty stuff

Sounds rank.

Something odd has happened to the laws of physics over the years.

When I was a kid, you always has to pay for the pleasure of having a hot water bottle by waking up at 5am with a freezing cold lump of rubber at your feet.

Now, my HWB stays hot all night and is still it now

The only differences are that it's thermoplastic instead of rubber, and has a thin fleecy cover instead of being naked. Also I keep my room less Arctic than my parents did.

Weird.

Morning. I'm thankfully far too drowsy from the quetiapine to be worrying just yet.

Will #3 go in if you take her, or is it just full out refusal?

I've had a very Mentally Normal breakfast of crumpets with chocolate spread and a huge black coffee.
An ed? Me? No, clearly not!

Morning off to see my psychiatrist, should really get showered and dressed.

Oooh, if I see your psychiatrist can you go to my ed assessment? Go on! I'll say all the right things to your psychiatrist...

I don't know if there are right things to say to my psych. I imagine my mentally abnormal sleep will be an issue.

I can easily go to your ED assessment, one thing I don't suffer from is disordered eating.

another day, another supermarket cafe here. Wibbling as I'm not sure if OH has communicated with work yet on my behalf and I can't get hold of him.

Just had a call from an unknown number, probably work, but couldn't face answering it. I really don't help myself
Hugs Caulk, I'm thinking of you

my phone just died during a particularly irritating bit of chat, no offence to anyone here but some psychiatrists can have a view that is intolerably skewed to the gloomy - like mingeologists and birth, they only really get up to their elbows in stuff that has already gone badly wrong, they are not so familiar with people's ability to draw upon other resources or just spontaneously sort themselves out and can be really fucking negative

what is more chatworthy - going 16 (am not great at counting, was a couple of saturdays ago) days without purging while steadily AND dramatically increasing food intake to an average of 2500 cals a day or accidentally losing a kg in the process?

(this is not someone who is treating me for anything, just an annoying person that I feel like biting and scratching the face of)

The tooth wasn't broken. Drama llama.

Sitting in cafe with hot drink as a reward and in an attempt to thaw slightly.

I have gone on their NHS waiting list but looks like I'll be waiting a fair while. It's very two-tier - NHS patients see the new graduates in their first year of practice, whereas private patients like DP see the more experienced dentists, which makes sense. Surprised they let us NHS plebs use the fancy water dispenser though.

If my brother marries his insane girlfriend, I'll be related to a psychiatrist

v mentally normal breakfast anyway when I finish it:

6 shots of espresso with 35ml of semi skimmed milk (yuck but all the plans seem to feature gallons of milk so medal) 20 cals, 25g of oats with water 90 100 cals, tbsp honey 65 cals, berry and almond shot 97 100 cals, sachet of cadbury's highlights milk chocolate 40 cals = 325 cals
