The me no one knows - SI warning

@Cuddlebear You recently asked if something I’d mentioned or had shown pics of, not sure which, was automated / able to be used with remote (something along those lines).

can’t provide an answer as don’t know what your comment and question relates to

The building and the taxi arrived (plus free bonus).

@Flutterbug9 When I visited my dad over xmas I noticed he acted like he had (unmanaged) adhd - but my mum says he did not use to be like that. So i do think that absolutely these things can change/develop over time/age -- even though it may not then be labeled as "adhd".

I guess then it comes to if it can't be medicated to help like adhd can be, what can be done to help? I wonder whether similar coping/management techniques that many people with adhd have would still be of use?

for example, friends of mine were recently discussing about how they find it helpful to "attach" a task to another one mentally. E.g. whilst waiting for a kettle to boil, they unpack the dishwasher. But it is time-limited so once the kettle stops boiling, they stop unpacking the dishwasher and finish making their hot drink. (It may not get a task completed each time - but the next time they boil the jug, they unpack a little more, etc etc).

As always - what works/helps one person may not help another! But i thought this example was interesting from my friend and stuck in my mind because it turns out it as what I have also done myself without ever having thought about it. I think for me it's how I manage motivation rather than distraction.

I think similarly with OCD too - if we notice similar behaviours/traits, are there techniques we can "borrow" that might help us too?

Hopefully the pdoc may have additional insights in these things too when you see them 🙂

i do wonder if in the future there will be some form of "discovery"/recognition of cPTSD-related autism/adhd/ocd onset or similar lasting effects.

@Flutterbug9 I'm not 100% sure, but I think @Cuddlebear 's question re: the remotes was in relation to the model trains - it was a little after you had posted about going to the model train show. 😊

Your questions are the croquet sound quite reasonable to me also @Flutterbug9 . It is puzzling that they didn't do a proper round-robin where all teams play each other at least 1 time 🤔.

I assume each team plays once per week? (i.e. 4 games of 2 teams in each = 8 teams)

I can understand if it felt/thought that maybe there is some reason behind it such as "xxx doesn't want to play against yyy person" - I know they are the types of things my brain worries about when I worry if I have upset someone and maybe they are trying to avoid me.

@AlwaysMyself With the rostering there’s also the aspect of start time of games. First game starts at 9am with each subsequent game due to start 45mins later. First game listing showed my game due to start 11:15 (last for the day). Second game listing shows my game due to start at 9am. First day of play is Wednesday next week. Tomorrow will need to phone GP rooms and change appointment time, next available appointment possibly few weeks time. More mucking around to get new scripts

Ack, that is frustrating @Flutterbug9 - I dislike when I have to change my appointments because a roster has come out late or been changed!

Speaking of, my Monday assessment day? It's changed again lol! Originally it was to be all-day Wednesday, then it was moved to all-day Monday (which was better for me thankfully), and now it will be split over Monday half-day (but not yet told what time? morning? afternoon?) and another day sometime in the next 3 weeks - but at least they are asking what is our availability over that time. However, I can give them my current availability - but between now and when they decide the date my calendar will start to "book up" more and I will become unavailable at some of those times. 🙃

Thank goodness I am not working currently! If i was trying to juggle this around my work hours that would be really hard because of having made meetings around their planned days that keep changing -- like with your GP appointment and croquet!

I’m keep my message to where I play and day I play on.

each Wednesday 4 games are played with first game to start at 9am. Each game consists of 2 teams, each team consist of 3 players. Roster last year was round robin style. Even so, 2 members of the community manually decide which teams play against each other and at what times.

somehow, team I play with play against team A 3 times within the 11weeks, won’t play against team B at all. Play either once or twice against teams C to G inclusive.

couple other teams the same whereas 3 or 4 teams play once it twice against all other teams (as I was expecting to see).

on my copy of 2 roster I’ve circled my team and who we play against, writing the number of the other teams in large number on my sheet

I’ve have similar thoughts with pain clinic appointments. Various times during the day. Earliest was 9am, I had to leave home 8ish that morning to get there, park, walk up the ramp and elevator up to the floor.

How are you feeling about things being spread over 2 days? Would you have preferred to have done one full day? Course or medical assessment? Assessment done at home or not?

im guessing question from Cuddlebear relates to model trains. Hoping I get answer next time they are online so I can provide the info

for me, it’s not having things started. This morning was flood of thoughts, one after the other when I went to do something. Head toward the bedroom and brain says about the DVDs which involves back to the lounge room. Get to lounge room and brain says but you’ve got laundry to do etc

Text message received. Part of message acknowledging errors and that “I was right”. Don’t care or get into this “right or wrong”. No benefit to anyone.

glad it’s being fixed up. Any hiccups with this one and I’m saying nothing. I’m tired. Tired of people thinking it’s ok to treat others the way they do and never apologise. (Rant over)

Hello @Flutterbug9 sweet, I'm sorry i didn't get to reply to your post earlier. I've been flat out and only just sat down to start responding to posts.

I'm sorry they have given you so much grief over this situation, it truly sounds frustrating for you. Really hoping they fix it and that there's no hiccups with this one.

Sending love and hugs sweet ❤️

I’ll got to the centralised mailboxes tomorrow and bring home version 3. Any hiccups this time, someone else can deal with it. I’ve more than done my share

busy day for you by the sound of things @MissGremlin

How are you feeling now the day is almost finished?
