would you rather be Mentally Normal or fat?

oi

It sounds so logical when you put it like that. Yes, how can I expect them to help me without all the information available

On the other hand, am not currently unwell and contacting them won't do anything to facilitate expedited discharge from services.

Will try tomorrow maybe and see what happens. Thanks

Morning anyone around? Ennn let us know how you get on with the CC. I agree with Mitchy FWIW.
How's everyone else doing?
Was off line last night, had friends round for Chinese and then had Big Talk with DS2 about school. He had a run-In with some kid who called DS1 "sad" and DS2 sent the boy a text calling him a c*. A sentiment I agree with but didn't tell DS2.

Yep am around.

Yes probably wise lot to mention that to DS2 What a difficult conversation to have

^not to mention

Morning all. As a continuation from yesterday, I am nearly at the ripe old age of 45!!!

I hope it felt like a productive talk and you slept okay

Morning bright

Morning.
I'm off for bloods soon, would anyone like to send an arm and I will get Lovely Phlebotomist to check their lithium too?
I'm almost too embarrassed to go, having decided that sh was most definitely the best way to deal with things yesterday, but I know that probably having the right amount of lithium is a bigger deal.

happyyoni how is ds2 about going into school today? Do camhs/someone else offer support to you as a family?

Cheers Ennn. DS2 seems better this morning. Thank god I am signed off work though. Slept til 5 which is an improvement on night b4.
I am a glowing, youthful 41 although my roots are coming through alarmingly, need emergency hairdresser appointment but can't get in until 21st feb, by which time I'll have white tresses a la Gandalf at this rate.

Morning Caulk. I'll pass on your offer to send an arm thanks all the same. Hope the phlebotomist is alright, it's such an obscure word why don't they just call it blood test nurse. Anyone else got exciting plans?

Ps we haven't been offered any support for the family. We had a couple of family therapy sessions which were more aimed at helping DS1. However after about 20minutes he just curled up into a ball and started rocking so not an outstanding success. It might be worth having a word with CAMHS but I know how massively overloaded they are.

Heh you woke up when I went to bed yoni

Am imagining dramatic Cruella De Ville locks (am sure your hair looks fine). I hope I take after my mum, who turns sixty this year and can get away without dying her hair, she has so few greys.

Oh, that doesn't sound helpful

Have rung CMHT their lines opened late and will be getting a call back hopefully in one of the rare moments when I'm not on the lie due to overindulgence in polyols.

The phone woman recognised my voice

Fecky balls, it's Friday. Weighing and blood sugar day.

Loo.

Ennn good luck with that, I'm sure it's genetic. I went to a work fancy dress do once as Cruella de Ville, got pissed and fell over in front of senior managers. That was a great job, we were always going on team building events to posh hotels and getting wrecked.

Well done on making the call Ennn. Hope they call you back at a good time. Does anyone else really struggle with phone calls?

Quite fancy a job like that.

Do CAMHS still dump kids into limbo when they turn 16?

Thanks yoni I always used to struggle wih phonecalls too.

Have improved over time tho.

Well done on ringing. You can have fifteen points.

Why will all the people I'm seeing today expect me to be dressed? Why can't they understand I am mentally disordered and let me wear pyjamas?

Yessss my first points!

Tell them considering pyjamas to be unacceptable for daytime wear is hegemonic cultural imperialism

No. Sorry. That sentence is too long. I will already be having to apologise for 100s of things so let's not add my choice of clothing to it too
