Mental Normality NOS

[UpOnDown]

Everyone is welcome.

I hope you have a peaceful night, Up. Have you eaten your goodies?
DD has just puked everywhere, it's a good job I haven't added emetophobia to my list of diagnoses..

Have a spot of anxiety but am mostly okay thanks Up - not so low as I was

Thanks millie - I ate them as soon as I got back as I hadn't had anything since breakfast. I hope DD feels better soon.

That's good to hear Ennn, I hope things keep on improving.

DD is back to bouncing around. So, I dunno! Will keep an eye on her
We co-sleep (read: I can't be arsed to battle her into her cot and she seems to like it) anyhow, so I can keep an eye on her (as she pukes on my head)

Good to hear you've eaten Up. Im didn't mean to suggest things were bad for you today, but just meant that you made the right decision to,avoid the 136. Hope everyone else is ok

I didn't think that David, just that as bad as things were, they could have been worse.

I hope your night is puke-free millie

I hope so too Up, thank you - I hope things take an upturn for you very soon

to everyone. Have good weekend x

Argh just saw my typo Up but glad you realised what I actually meant.
Fuelled by too much wine, I've made the Frozen jellies and a load of biscuits. I know I'm going to crash afterwards but got to hold it together for DD party tomorrow.

Can we see the Frozen jellies?

Thanks bright, you too

Have just been round Sainsbury's with DP. Slight hiccup where he'd not checked the small print on the voucher he had causing a delay at the checkout while we tried to decide if we could find £24 worth of extra stuff to buy (we didn't, in the end). Anxiety levels pretty much steady, whether at home or in public, alone or interacting with people, dealing with difficult situations or slobbing out on the sofa. I'm not sure if CBT is terribly useful here. Have been trying mindfulness and JBII [just bloody ignoring it] instead

Having swells and waves of feeling sad, but as usual am better this evening compared to this morning.

Do you know why DD is sick, Millie?

I'll try and post a pic tomorrow of the Frozen party tea when fully assembled.in my head it will be awesome, in reality it will probably look like an insane toddler assembled it, which is not that far from the truth :)

It WILL be awesome. It WILL

Kudos Ennn for surviving Sainsburys. I reckon supermarkets are pretty massive sources of stress as there is too much stimulation, and too many choices to make.

Yes, it's odd that it doesn't seem to have any effect on my anxiety levels at the moment as in the past I have sometimes found supermarkets hard to deal with for all the reasons you mention.

Is everything ready for the big day?

I went round Tesco today in a Zen state of calm, it may have taken three times longer then for a mentally normal person :)
I am delegating a lot to DS 1 and 2 tomorrow. Also have bought a shedload of alcohol for the parents, have only invited close friends. So doesn't really matter if kids run wild :)

Sounds like bliss apart from the hyped-up chiddlers, can I come?

You are welcome Ennn, and everyone else who likes hyped up toddlers :)

I hope everyone has a lovely time, especially you, David

Seem to have accidentally stayed awake finishing GTA

Not feeling very mentally normal at all.

How are you now, Enn?
DD wasn't sick again, but she's got a manky cold, so I only managed a few hours sleep. Therapy at 9....

Hope you have a good session millie

Thank you, I'm not really in the mood, but it definitely helps
I hope you have a peaceful day :)
