Don't worry, I don't read very well any more either. I buy books at a rate assuming I can still speed-read and get through two novels, a factual book, and some long-form journalism in a week. My to-read pile is towering.

I have seven prescribed ones per day. Oh. Yes. Most Mentally Disordered and Most Highly Medicated.

If you like you may tidy my house for me while I walk your spaniel not a euphemism

you get 800mg of lithium (this is a pretty low dose for me, there was this plan to come off it but we'll see) and optional access to the recreational stuff which you might like (?) and the 'youappeartobebecomingunwell' stuff which you don't like and won't need since haven't had any sort of manic depressive events for ages

am excited about being allowed an antidepressant Grin

The most I was ever on at any one time was trifluoperazine, procyclidine, escitalopram, valproate semisodium and pizotifen, with zopiclone, diazepam, and cocodamol as required.

Is the lithium compulsory?

My new b vit complex tablet stinks. I haven't even taken any yet, only filled my calendar pack, and my fingers still smell dodgy an hour later.

I'd probably be really good at tidying someone else's house

you will be spending a lot of time on the phone while you are me Blush

it can take a while to leave the house depending upon how fat you are in various outfits or emaciated in others, try to be discreet about this

all the cats and the spaniel need lots of cuddles and kisses

Enpoid · 26/01/2015 22:56

They trust you to have and selfadminister the youappeartobebecomingunwell stuff?

OP posts:
Enpoid · 26/01/2015 22:56

Animal cuddles. I can do that. Phone calls, no problem.

Looking emaciated?
Not going to happen.

Mitchy1nge · 26/01/2015 22:57

800mg of lithium won't kill you, it might make you feel a bit nauseous

oh yeah does this mean you get my back ache, dodgy hip, beginnings of calf strain in the good calf?

Mitchy1nge · 26/01/2015 22:58

of course they trust me! what are you trying to say? Shock

Enpoid · 26/01/2015 23:00

Only if you take my inability to process carbohydrate, extreme myopia, and two stone of excess fat and skin.

Hoping Chap is well on the way to bed.

one day is nothing in the scheme of things

moron prob a bad word tho

Enpoid · 26/01/2015 23:08

Exhibit one: appallingly ugly glasses (they were quite nice without my lenses in them - and that's after paying a fortune for the sooperdooper thin ones)

No they're not tinted, they're just bending the light away HmmSadAngryConfusedGrin

I'm quite good at the countdown conundrum but otherwise not an anagrammist.

Mitchy1nge · 26/01/2015 23:16

they are such a pretty colour

I will look awesome in them!

good luck finding mine, am long sighted with astigmatism but I manage ok without the glasses

in italian I can be omnia madonne raro which could be all rare madonnas which makes no sense, also should be rari? rare?

Mitchy1nge · 26/01/2015 23:20

do I get to have a go on DP?

Enpoid · 26/01/2015 23:24

do I get to have a go on DP?

You can try but I can't guarantee anything.

I don't trust longsighted people. They can just squinch their eyes up, focus exta-hard, and ta-dah, they don't need their glasses. Suspicious.

Enpoid · 26/01/2015 23:29

In Tesco earlier I put several different tins of sweet leguminous soups and congee in the trolley which I can't eat. DP put most of them back on the shelves Angry but is manfully powering his way through something which seems to be peanuts floating in sweet, slightly milky water.

yuck

on 2nd thoughts any chance of him being out at work or somewhere tomorrow?

Mitchy1nge · 26/01/2015 23:34

'milky' one of the worst words in the world
