Night Shift

Just saw your last post @Mazarita. I guess I haven't known anyone with bipolar to know but it sounds difficult to manage. I hope tomorrow brings you some more interest in life after your appointment. I know it's not a magic wand and won't fix it but sometimes those appointments offer hope. Good luck with that and for the viewing of your video. 😊💜

Thanks @Former-Member

As well as having domestic help here and shopping out there - and seeing doctor down there - I have been dealing with a personal on-line issue - and they day got away from me in a big way

And I have to go out and vote so I will have to get a wriggle on - sorry I have not been around much yesterday - I will catch up when I have been up to vote

How strange life is - for days I have been busy at home and on-line because of the atrocious weather - and now I am flat out with other stuff -

That's life

I love your dreams @plasmo - I dunno what that one means either - except maybe your unconsious is telling you that Malcome Turnbull is seriously weird too

Cathc yas all later

Hi @Mazarita

Thanks for reminding me about the Friday Feast - I was on-line last night - since I resigned from the site where I was so responsible for so long a few people have found out and I was swamped with support

But I have not heard back from the management about my resignation - I guess in her opinion I am not worthy of even that - sad case

I have found a new home and I like it in this forum - but I have enough following to start my own I think - but I am committed (heh) to this forum - and it is hard to be in more than one at a time.

I know - I tried - I even had my own Home and Away Forum back in the days of dial-up - sad - I know but I was once seriously involved with Home and Away

Great to hear from you

Hi @PeppiPatty hope you are well. Just letting you know that most of your last post is showing in Greek letters and impossible to read.

Ille need to get my computer looked at. Sorry @eth...

How is your morning looking?

It's 8.30am and my husband and I are having coffee with our mothers......

I dont write or call my Mum anymore since I have unconnected from her I've noticed her borderline/ self involved personality traits. When I was in there, I didnt see them, I felt that I was just rying to survive.

I have as little to do with her as possible. My mother in law asked me why I didnt want to speak to my Mum anymore ..as they are both friends I knew that my Mum had asked her to ask me and I said it's because she lies and she has stopped my relationship with her favourite son, , my brother. My poor brother. Wealthy and very very sad because of the burden of working hard to stay her favourite.

I'de like to think that she dissappeared from me life all the time because she might have known how bad she has been to me.

@PeppiPatty this post is in english so I can read it! It's after 10am here and I'm just quietly waiting to hear from a neighbour I said I would take to vote.

I hope your coffee with your mother goes ok. I think you are brave seeing her given what you describe of your history with her.

Hi @eth, @Mazarita, @PeppiPatty

@eth I hope things are calmer for you today ( no more blowing s**t up happening there) and you got voting out the way early😊💜

@Mazarita can deny it, I'm curious to see how today went but only if you want to share😊💜

@PeppiPatty I've thought about your question a bit today but I think my brain needs to cooperate a bit better to write a response that's comprehensible. I hope today finds you well😊💜

Hey @comet,

just checking in. I hope you're ok. Thinking of you, hugs😊💜

Hi @Former-Member,

Thanks for your interest and curiosity about today. 🙂

After almost a complete week in my dressing gown, got myself dressed and cleaned up today and out for voting by about 2pm. That took me for a bit of a walk, polling booth just near our place, just enough for a bit of sun, sights and leg stretching without too much pain.

Then psychiatrist. I had a feeling he might want to raise the dose of my AD, but no. Instead we have decided to reduce my anti-psychotic dose by a third. Since I've been on the slightly higher dose of that I've been falling too easily to sleep every time I sit in the armchair. So reduced dose might help with my sleepiness overall. Aside from that he gave me a pep talk about trying to get back into some semblance of a daily routine which would include some exercise, some time out of the flat, some mindfulness practise, some domestics, etc. Basic stuff I already knew but I like this psychiatrist a lot so I took it well. We agreed that we might look at raising the AD dose if I'm still struggling as I have been when I see him in four weeks time. But overall he discussed how he's reluctant to just keep raising and raising doses of medications, which I appreciate in a big way actually, as I don't want this either. So, will see how I go. Tomorrow I'm hoping to rework my 'daily activity sheet' that has been neglected for some time but which helped me a lot last year.

How was your day?
