Ennn · 14/02/2015 15:23

I have to go anyway because I need more of my antidepressants; there's no getting out if it

Ennn · 14/02/2015 15:24

as the depression spreads among (amongst?) us I have Elliott Smith on repeat - there should be something in my care plan about this

:( Elliott :(

I'm lying in a cold bath because I'm too mentally disordered to get out and warm myself up. I'm also too lazy, maybe we should blame that?

Who is joining me for The Voice and Take Me Out tonight? I will share my quiche-and-salad.

UpOnDown · 14/02/2015 19:04

I'm going to watch the voice, probably. Quiche and salad sounds nice.

oh god cold water, get out!

I'll join you but have already eaten and will watch something else but I will be with you, sort of,

CaulkheadUpNorth · 14/02/2015 19:06

I've got out, but only just. Now not sure what to do, as the bathroom isn't very warm and the towel is cold. There will have to be some fast putting on pyjama and sitting near the heater action.

Today I got to hold and play with Guinea pigs and they were lovely. I want pets that aren't just the neighbours cat.

Ennn · 14/02/2015 19:16

Just got back home, went out for a walk and had to get DP to come and pick me up from random street location. He seems low but it took about ten minutes to get him to admit it Hmm drives me bonkers, I ask him if he's feeling okay and he says "sorry", I say he doesn't need to day sorry he just seemed a little low to me and he says "sorry" AAARGHH

brightandbreezyNot · 14/02/2015 19:27

Well done ennn on going for a walk, I also have been out walking too much because it was 3 hrs and already done a combination of gym and walking of 22 hours this week not nearly enough for this fat body

Ennn · 14/02/2015 19:29

Thanks bright Grin well done to you too!

Ennn · 14/02/2015 19:45

I buggered my knee doing too much exercise and that was only probably less than ten hours a week Sad be careful

CaulkheadUpNorth · 14/02/2015 19:46

I went for a walk too, but it was with my housemates, to feed the guinea pigs, so not a big exercisey walk.

UpOnDown · 14/02/2015 19:55

Gosh, lots of exercise.

I feel needy Hmm Saw someone for 3/4 of an hour earlier, and just got off the phone from another CPN. Sad It proves that I am using too many resources. They said to ring again if I needed....I've used enough time already.

Ah but the more you use the services, the more people are able to stay in jobs. That's how I see it anyway. Wink

PollyPooic · 14/02/2015 19:58

I also went for a walk! It was immediately apparent that it's too soon to run, which is causing me a bit of mental breakdown in itself. Spent some quality time with my foam roller and pilates mat and some classes on gaiamTV. The cats are always so helpful with this sort of thing.

Ennn · 14/02/2015 19:58

If it helps keep you out of hospital and not dead then it's an appropriate use of resources.

PollyPooic · 14/02/2015 19:59

that's what they're there for up Flowers

UpOnDown · 14/02/2015 20:00

Staying out of hospital is a definite plan. You guys are a lot of help, Flowers hugs

My cat is having a big old sulk because I have been away and therefore no one has given him any attention. So now he is in, and staring at the radiator, with his back at me. Hmm
