When do you get your blood test results?

I had mine done two weeks ago but the lab seem to have lost the sample so I have to go through the whole process again.

CaulkheadUpNorth · 01/02/2015 12:36

I've only just got out of bed, after a morning or staring at the wall. Now I want to conquer the world. Why does that happen? Confused

MP, are the lunch visitors people you need to be "on top form" for or can you be how you need to be but dressed and out of bed

Has Millie been around recently? I hope she is ok.

Mentalpsychiatrist · 01/02/2015 12:38

Lunch visitors are old friends who know that I'm extremely mentally abnormal so will hopefully appreciate that I'm not in the best of form.

I'm now showered and dressed which is a good start.

CaulkheadUpNorth · 01/02/2015 12:39

Well done. You can have 35 points.

Mitchy1nge · 01/02/2015 12:41

how annoying of them!

tomorrow morning, so plan is to reconvene then

when it's at an ok level everything else might still be shit but it should be easier to tackle

SnowyMouse · 01/02/2015 13:21

Well done on the shower and getting dressed.

How is everyone?

Mentalpsychiatrist · 01/02/2015 14:01

Dinner is in the oven, table is set , wine is open just waiting for friends to turn up at which point I will put on my best happy face.

Mitchy1nge · 01/02/2015 14:07

no showering or any kind of wash here, am in same clothes have worn for last couple of days (and in which I slept last night) but have other achievements:

am home (#3 and her friend set up camp in the sitting room with a mattress and duvets in front of massive log fire and loads of sweets, cats and the spaniel, very nice to walk in on!)

have achieved looking at results of last year's race (the one am doing next Sunday) and some people took 3 hours or more so am very unlikely to be last

am mentally prepared for the rigours of driving #3's friend home, I just don't want to interact with people

how about you snowy, how is today compared to yesterday?

SnowyMouse · 01/02/2015 14:13

You can do it, mp

((( mitchy ))) It sounds like you're getting things done.

Today is similar Hmm Sad

Mitchy1nge · 01/02/2015 14:18

glad things are not severely worse

wish they were better though Flowers

is anything happening today?

SnowyMouse · 01/02/2015 14:43

Thanks. I'm struggling with intrusive thoughts about suicide (with specific methods, can't say here). I think people will break into my flat if I go to the day hospital.

Mitchy1nge · 01/02/2015 14:57

what horrible thoughts to cope with :(

is there anything at all to break up the day a bit? I remember the home treatment team being quite good at sitting with me, trying to watch DVDs etc and their visits were really helpful in that way

SnowyMouse · 01/02/2015 15:18

I'll put James Bond on later, did have the tv on but I couldn't concentrate. Got music on. I've tried computer games, can't get into them. Just taken some more diazepam (it takes the edge off).

CaulkheadUpNorth · 01/02/2015 15:56

How's it going everyone?

SnowyMouse · 01/02/2015 16:11

I feel worse. Been doing things. How are you caulk?

CaulkheadUpNorth · 01/02/2015 16:14

I think I'm mirroring mitchys thing of wondering if I can find someone to kill me. I am however still knitting the blanket.
Have you got something on to watch? What time will the carers next be in?

SnowyMouse · 01/02/2015 16:15

I'm glad you're doing the blanket. I empathise re: wanting someone to kill you, hugs. I've got James Bond on (just starting), carers are in tonight.

CaulkheadUpNorth · 01/02/2015 16:17

If you want some utter trash, and have viva, catfish is on at 5.

SnowyMouse · 01/02/2015 16:19

thanks

Mentalpsychiatrist · 01/02/2015 16:23

I'm hiding in the bathroom. Lunch was nice and my guests are lovely people but I just can't seem to do it today. Would love to go back to bed on my own.

SnowyMouse · 01/02/2015 16:25

Oh dear mp Sad How long are they staying?

CaulkheadUpNorth · 01/02/2015 16:26

Would they mind if you did that?can you text dp and say that's what you're doing to do?

Mentalpsychiatrist · 01/02/2015 16:28

I can't leave DP in that position and I don't want guests to think badly of me. Will pull myself together and go back downstairs. No point worrying people unnecessarily.

SnowyMouse · 01/02/2015 16:30

Hugs mp

Millie2013 · 01/02/2015 16:50

I'm here, just struggling to keep up :D
Hugs to all
