Full Mental Normality

[Enpoid]

Kubricking it.

you don't have to think you're fat, lots of people with anorexia (most probably) know they are not but body image distortion is in their fear of becoming fat

which is an interesting criterion I think, anorexics of hundreds of years ago never seemed to have this, it's a fairly modern thing

That's terrible, tooth

Home at last, lamb fillet for dinner.

How bloody far from work do you live Mp?!

Gosh, that is a late day

It's about a 40 minute drive Enpo. I've been home for a little while. Living this far away is good as it means I never bump into patients.

I found that tricky with my student placements (bumping into patients outside of them).

Yeah, I am very very aware of the perils of living near your patient base.

Just finished dinner - aubergine pork mince tomatotomato bake thing with mozzarella on top

Have to see care coordinator tomorrow. Routine appointment. Will maybe chat about care plans, discharge plans, and changing psychiatrist. Funfunfun!

That dinner sounds brilliant! I fed mine to the cat

Now on dinner#2 of yoghurt museli and fruit.

It was bloody nice but 1000kcal

Glad I'm not going to be wearing these lenses the full 16 hours today. Eye strain, a headache, and ghosting in my right eye. Whew.

Did they tell you to start at 8 and build it up? That's what I had to do. I still only manage about ten or twelve hours before they get uncomfortable.

No… I have a lot of prior experience with contact lenses though, so maybe that's why.

I'd love to be able to wear contact lenses but a combination of a very high prescription and a skin condition on my eyes makes them a no no. It causes me no end of grief in summer especially.

I spent about 8 years not being able to wear them as I am allergic to lots of the solution you use.

Glasses are really fashionable at the moment so it's a cool thing to have them. My god daughter wears clear glass glasses.

I need to add an eye test to the list of things I'll never get done.

What's your prescription? They seem to be increasing the range all the time. I've just got mine because they've recently increased the prescription range of the 16 hour daily disposables (the torics go up to -9, and my astigmatic eye needs a -9, and the non-torics go up to a -10, which is the exact prescription in my other eye )

The skin problem is probably harder to get round, though. Some of the continuous-wear ones are much better for dry eyes than the old soft contacts, too.

I seem to spend an inordinate amount of time getting my eyes tested, whether it's annual eye tests, retinopathy screening, glaucoma screening, eye pressure retesting, hospital eye pressure retesting, contact lens checks, more eye tests when my eyes mysteriously change prescription six months after buying new glasses…

I have -6 in one eye and -7.5 in the other. It's the inflamed eyelids that cause the difficulties.

Swelly eyelids

ugh eyes and contact lenses, am far too squeamish for even the thought of it

#1 seems to be staying here too now, and wants to work from home as in my house tomorrow but I have some of The People coming to do Talking About Various of My Mental Disorders in the morning, my house is only this big is short notice to rearrange but there are things I can't discuss with my offspring around

How is #1?

unsurprisingly she's pretty miserable now :(

(so am I, she has the memory foam mattress thing that goes on my mattress leaving me on the horrible spiky thing)
