Aw, aren't you a sweetie

HellinaHandbasket · 07/02/2015 18:48

Does the clafoutis have cherries in it?

Ennn · 07/02/2015 18:50

If it doesn't then it's not a clafoutis Hmm

Yeah I know but I hate cherries. I guess I'll have the tiramisu.

Millie2013 · 07/02/2015 18:52

Yes, it has cherries :)

Millie2013 · 07/02/2015 18:52

And @Enn

OP posts:
UpOnDown · 07/02/2015 19:00

I'm writing letters to my family.

Ennn · 07/02/2015 19:03

What kind of letters?

Millie2013 · 07/02/2015 19:05

Wss ^^

UpOnDown · 07/02/2015 19:08

To explain and say goodbye. Can't concentrate though, so might leave it til tomorrow.

HellinaHandbasket · 07/02/2015 19:15

Do you think you should maybe call the CMHT Up? It mightn't be the worst idea.

Millie2013 · 07/02/2015 19:16

Or Samaritans?

CaulkheadUpNorth · 07/02/2015 19:21

Wasn't there a plan to try the day hospital? Altering the meds to make it easier etc?

UpOnDown · 07/02/2015 19:21

I'm not going to do anything tonight, I have family visiting tomorrow morning.

UpOnDown · 07/02/2015 19:22

Yes, she suggested day hospital again.

UpOnDown · 07/02/2015 19:22

I'm just thankful they can't section me, as the voices aren't that bad at all.

HellinaHandbasket · 07/02/2015 19:26

They can section you if you have a plan to harm yourself. I'd hate to see it come to that Up. As Caulk said I thought you were going to give day hospital a try?

Ennn · 07/02/2015 19:28

Did you mention this to your CPN at all Up?

OP posts:
UpOnDown · 07/02/2015 19:29

I didn't realise that. Hmm Thanks for telling me, I need to be more circumspect than I have been in that case.

The trouble with day hospital is that I'm so sleepy in the mornings because of the clozapine, I literally can't stay awake.

UpOnDown · 07/02/2015 19:30

I did say what I felt like doing to them when they asked.

HellinaHandbasket · 07/02/2015 19:31

It's in everybody's interest that you keep being as honest as possible with them Up.

Ennn · 07/02/2015 19:31

Did you try dividing the dose? What happened to the morning drowsiness then?

There are things that can be done about sleepiness.

Failing that, would they be amenable to your attending half-days?

OP posts:
UpOnDown · 07/02/2015 19:32

That's a difficult one. My CPN did say that one of the reasons they end up detaining me is when I can't/wont talk about what's going on. Hmm So I should talk.

UpOnDown · 07/02/2015 19:33

I can only do half days, but the afternoon is when they do the type of activities I can't join in (like walks etc.)
