Night Shift

Hi @Eth
That's a tricky one. If you know of a post that you were tagged in, but didn't get a notification for, can you point me in that direction? I will need an example so I can compare between the ones you do get & ones you don't.

Hopefully you get this notification 🙂

EDIT: Since writing this, I can see the problem. The Suggested people to @mention have 'Eth' in their name. I will look into it.

@comet. If I could right now I would give you a big hug, then take the guilt you have for it and throw it away 😊💜. In my own stupid and bizarre way that's what I was actually partly trying to do. The other thing I was trying and failed dismally for both of us was to find a way to lift our spirits - didn't really work out so well😔. I feel worse and you probably do too. Anyway I wish to make a deal that from here on in you will let go of it and so will I. Thinking of you 😊💜

I mentioned you once @eth and the tagging didnt work. I wanted to ask your opinion on naming the "Munchies" thread.

I also think that your psych friend nurse is putting you down as it is the same one who was picking on the flat when she visited. At some stage I would raise it with her, but pick the time and the way you do it. You said you did not want to ditch the whole friendship as you also share a lot. Raise it in a way that suggests a boundary for you both. That there is significant research that MI does have a physiological basis and that her position may be anecdotal and also may interfere with her doing her job properly if she is too attached to the idea.

it may be true that some people can shake it off the way she says .. but not all ...

@Former-Member, @comet, sending you both hugs for whatever awkwardness arose between you this morning.

Thanks to everyone who wished me well with my ro-ot canal. @plasmo was right as it turned out, the dentist didn't do it today so I needn't have worried. Instead she did x-rays and other tests and sent me away with an appointment for the first phase of the ro-ot canal surgery in late July. I can now postpone my worry until then.

Hi @eth, if you get this message, just wanted to say I may have come on a bit too strong about your friend yesterday. I really value friendship in a big way and am very forgiving for the most part. I was just a bit 'up in arms' on your behalf about what your friend said, as another friend at a distance. I like what @Appleblossom said about boundaries. It's something we talked about in the one session of the women's group I went to. I realised I personally tend to have either too soft boundaries or too hard and I related this to the general difficulty there can be with bipolar in finding the middle ground. Hope you can find this with your friend in a way that maintains and possibly even strengthens the relationship, while holding true to what you believe is right for yourself.

Hi to anyone else around too.

hi @Mazarita. Sorry you have to postpone your worry, I'm sure you would have preferred it today. Also @eth didn't tag and hasn't for me now either. Still having glitches @NikNik.

@Faith-and-Hope I forgot this is your continuing week of madness. Am I right that you don't slow down until after the celebrations on Saturday night? Thinking of you buzzing everywhere.

Thanks, @Former-Member. Sorry you had a down morning. 90km because of a missed bus in inclement weather, what a pain!

I'm suddenly very sleepy so am going to catch up on a bit of missed sleep for a while. Catch up with you all again later.

@NikNik I was notified of your second post but not your first and I've also just seen one from Mazarita and one from Teej on p729 of Night Shift that I wasn't notified of. If I'm off-line for any length of time sometimes there are just too many posts to comb through to see if anyone mentions me. Hard to keep up.

Hi @eth

how are you? I haven't seen you on here for a little while, hope you are doing okay? xxxooo
