The Weekly Friday Feast

The Weekly Friday Feast

Thank goodness it's Friday (or TGIF as some say!)

We thought we would start a thread where we could come together every Friday and "share a meal" and debrief about our week.

To participate, there are 2 requirements -

1) Bring a (virtual) plate of food

2) Bring a topic of discussion

So pull up a virtual chair, post a picture or description of what (virtual) dish you're bringing along and say hi and let us know how your week was.

Looking forward to seeing you at our first Friday Feast!

Chat soon 🙂

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

@MDT Looks like a lot of

people have headed off to bed. I’m a bit of a night prowler. I don’t sleep well, I’m tired most of the day and then get

my 2nd wind around 9 or 10pm.

How do your nights go?

Hey @Razzle

Yeah I'm on and off again. Usually i sleep consistency but I do wake up to pee. It's annoying in winter lol.

I can no longer nap or sleep in the day I've found. Once I am awake in the morning for longer than 30mins then I'm awake for the day.

@MDT Lol, yep, living in the southern states doesn’t make for an enjoyable venture out of bed at night - and there is no heating at the bedroom/bathroom end of this house, except an electric blanket.

Looks like everyone here has gone to bed, I had better sneak off before they

go to sleep or I’ll wake them all - the floor is very squeaky here.

Hope you sleep well tonight ❤️❤️

Hi @Former-Member @Former-Member and everyone who was here last night ... sorry I missed it. Hoping someone will tag me next week when you get started. Saturday Soiree is on today if anyone's looking for a place to hang out and meet people.

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

I'm glad ur doing well @MDT . Not too good this end, same torturous symptoms day in day out.

Been referred for hospital admission. Bn holding out til private health kicks in on Monday, now I find thrs a 3-4 week wait for a bed. Shld have got things rolling weeks ago but I didn't know that. Not that I'm looking forward to it by ne stretch, I think it's going to be torturous coming off short term anxiety meds with no substitute. Not looking forward to it at all Hams. But at the same time I don't want to go thru this for another few weeks while i wait. It's just a suckey situation!

I see @Doglover

We must always do what is best for our MH though I think. Whatever happens you have my support.

It sounds tough. Are you against hospital?

In response to: Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

Thanks for your support @MDT .

Not against hospitals as such, just afraifd of them, and petrified of what's going to happen to me when I'm in there. I've never had a hospital admission for MI, and I have avoided hospitals like the plague ever since I was a teenager and some bad things happened to me in there (nothing to do with MI).

Because none of the medications seem to agree with me I'm scared as to how they are going to get me off the short term anxiety meds that I have been on a long time without there being some other alternative to control anxiety. We've been trying to find that alternative for 10 months but to no avail. I'm really scared that I'm going to be climbing walls and theres not a damn thing theyll be able to do about it. I'm just really scared of the whole scenario Hams. I just wish I had confidence that it was going to help me but I just don;t, which is not a very good attitude to be going in with.

So that's where I'm at Hams. Just hope I can last until whenever there is a bed available, and hope that my stay will not be too torturous and will benefit from it.

Thanks for listening Hams. I hope you are doing well.

PS: Sorry for the typos, it's too hard to get my curser to go where I want it to go on my phone to correct them so they just have to stay.
