Eeek, don't jinx yourself, lol! I hope you can take it easy this morning... It doesn't sound like you eat anything till dinner time most days? Is it just cups of tea or something till then? @outlander

I got 12 books, but actually, now that I'm spending so much time on the forums these days, I'm not doing as much reading. It won't matter if I have to return them unread, at least I've got them if I need them.

Re: not coping

yeah pretty much @NatureLover sometimes i can manage something in the daytime but it depends on what it is. sometimes ill have a biscuit or 2 with my tea but not usually till the arvo.

12 books! thats plenty to read at least. i use to read alot but i struggle with the concentration now. i barely got through my favourite books (actually still have 2 unread).

Re: not coping

I'm not sure how you have the energy to keep going and do all that you do, @outlander 😞

Yeah, concentration is hard with depression or anxiety or MI. Books are like my 'escape' as I don't have a TV.

I have a strange problem - my computer doesn't have any sound! I thought computer monitors had inbuilt sound these days?

Re: not coping

hmm that is strange @NatureLover

is it on mute at all? prob an obvious question🤦‍♀️ if not it may be faulty.

Re: not coping

I looked in Settings to see if it was on mute or something...It says "the connectors for this device are located on the back side of the computer", which makes me think I need to buy some separate speakers or something. What a bugger if so!

Re: not coping

hmm that is strange @NatureLover most computers even desktops etc have built in speakers. can you possible speak to your tech savy friend and see if they know? or ask the place you brought it from?

In response to: Re: not coping

Re: not coping

Yes, that's a good idea. My old computer that I had for 20 years didn't have speakers, so I'm used to it, but I was looking forward to having speakers. I think if I was more tech-savvy I would have known what to look for when buying a monitor, but I didn't. Thanks 🙂

Are you watching a movie this morning? @outlander
