Night Shift

Hi @Mazarita

I am a Trekkie from way back when James T Kirk and all his mates made this huge step into the future -

wow - but I have not watched Next Gen until recently - so maybe Trekkies get to have some new stuff (that isn't so new) as we get older - and so low tech too -

That Data episode yesterday - that I recorded because I thought I might fall asleep - and then watched it twice - was on again early in the morning - about 2.30am I think - and now it's on again - Sunday afternoon.

I am getting a fix or something - Data is my favourite too - I guess most of us here know what it's like to be "different" and some of us are "too clever" - been there - I am a nerd - something I don't need to let everyone know

Terrific

I think that anyone who is living with a severe condition of any kind is always in a twilight world of misunderstand and prejudice - it is so hard to live our lives with a chronic and life-changing conditon - and people don't understand -

Sometimes with their best intentions people cannot understand - or stuck themselves do not want to understand - it's threatening

And yet - what about us - how are we supposed to cope with ourl lives this way? If people get upset hearing about it - how are we supposed to feel?

I guess we know more about the life in the shadows and our journey to get out - and it is always hard

Tension between us and people who can't acknowledge us and how we are makes it harder - and we don't need this - but here we are

Alas

dear @Shaz51

Like very much hearing from you...Theres some new people on and writing some wonderful things. Hello in particular to @Kurra

I'm okay @Shaz51....how about yoruself ? Do you want me to post the health care plan I have to write out and put on a ub stick and hand over to proffessionals ?

My husband is good. He was getting very frustrated for a long while and I get overwhelmed very easily......any aggression ...I get memories of my Mum's aggression and want to go to bed. I guess it's got better after 18 years of therapy but I will still be senseitve to any grouch....

Arlo is being very cute....

Hi @Decadian You're spot on with your comment re misunderstanding etc.

Hi @PeppiPatty and @Shaz51 too and anyone I've missed who's around.

My mother is supposed to be one of my main 3 support people when things are not going so well. I told her the other night that I was having another depression phase (bipolar 1) and she asked me if it was 'involuntary' or not. Really? ... I thought she was better informed, including by me, but also as an academic quite capable of researching so as to better support (like I do when she has a health problem). Seriously?! I didn't react at the time but it's been echoing ever since. Like I would voluntarily be having these challenges. Bah humbug. Vent over.

Hi @Former-Member how are you tonight?

@Former-Member DV next door again tonight - twice this week, so I'm pretty shattered and on edge too. But I need to at least try to sleep soon, even if I pretty much know it'll only be a few hours at most. Trying to have a regular bed time between 10.30 and 11.30pm.

I wish I could help you more and hope that at least just coming on here and writing what's going on and sharing does help you somewhat.
