With coffee .... without coffee. A place for us coffee lovers and coffee!

@Gazza75

Right now I need lots and lots of strong coffee. And alcohol. ☕️ 🍷

Hey @BryanaCamp ,

I've not lost any weight since I've come off the meds. I didn't expect anything to happen quickly, but, I thought gradually my metabolism would get back to normal. My mental health is fine I think, I've been stable since I got out of the mental health unit last year, I should of come off the meds sooner than I did. Oh well.

I'm sorry you had such a hard time with GP's. It really shouldn't be so hard. I just meant you should tell her where to go if she keeps pushing you. I hope she can help you with anti biotics and vitamins and that they help you. I was taking a multi vitamin for a while, but, I haven't had it recently. I had to take iron tabs for a while as my levels were low.

It's pretty rough spending so much money on a psych when you aren' getting much out of it. I get irritated when my psychologist doesn't remember much from one discussion to the next. I know I'm not her only client, but, its frustrating when I have to go over things again and again with her.

I didn't see my mate, he was with another friend of his and rather drunk. I spoke to him a couple of times. He wants to come out to my farm.

Thanks for sharing a picture of your big hike! Well done 🙂 It looks like you picked a real stunning day to go. I hope you can fit in he trip to the alpine areas, I'd love to see photos if you do 🙂 I've always wanted to get there about this time of year to see all the spring flowers and scenery.

I find it hard to find the time to socialise. I'm usually at my farm on weekends. It's a little easier now I guess as I have more time. Previously its just been so hard with all the travel I was doing with work. 3-4 hours a day on top of a working day doesn't leave much time to do anything.

Hope you are having a good day 🙂

I am two coffees in @BlueBay, and now I am drinking a genmaicha (roasted rice green tea). I hope the coffee is helping

Hi @Gazza75 !

Hi @BryanaCamp ,

Thanks for your message. It's pretty disapointing about weight/metabalism as I have worked pretty hard at trying to do what I can. I could do more cardio, but, my motivation and will power isn't what it was. Even when I was doing more, it didn't seem to help. I'd lose a bit that day and by the next day it was back on. I've been trying not to monitor the scales every day as psyhologist suggested. The changes are meant to be temporary I think, 30-60 days for most things to leave our systems, or at least the meds I was on, they probably all vary to some degree.

I'm not really ok with it to be honest. I think it's done more damage to me than being diagnosed with bipolar 2. I'm pretty ticked off about it on many levels.

It's good my mate wants to visit, but, last time he intended to it all feel through. He's pretty handy with motorbikes so it would be good to get him to help with those and also to go for a ride.

I agree with you wholeheartedly that they should be very prepared for your meeting and that if they aren't its very unprofessional given what they are getting paid for the interaction. I only do mine on the phone, I have to ration them out over 12 months. I am going to try and get a mental health plan in place so I can get additional support.

I haven't really heard back from my work friend that is travelling. I have kept up with some of her photos, she has a young family and its fun to see the kids having a good time. She is a really good person, i'm not sure about the fella she is with, but, I hope things work for them.

I'm sorry the moderators are being hostile to you. That's pretty annoying and frustrating Bryana. I don't want you to leave or be away because of them. It would be nice if there was a private message system here, but, its not to be.

How is the new car going? Are you happy with it so far?

Looks like you have been censored about your last post ughghg

Hi all,

Just popping in as I noticed some comments around moderation - we do understand that it can feel quite frustrating to have posts moderated. We also know that a lot of the time when breaches happen it is not the intention of the member at all! We like to work with everyone on how to post in a way that is in line with our guidelines but still gets their message across. If you are ever unsure or impacted, please email us directly team@saneforums.org

What an activityI could not resist this - coffee really turns me on - I am not into skateboarding but coffee yes

I can imagine skateboarding - having a coffee and thinking up something outrageous can be fun

Have the best day possible everyone

hi @Gazza75 . Weight loss after/during anti-psychotics is very hard. Especially at our age. I suggest checking out this website, I think Phoebe's info would have some good tips for you. Try to keep your chin up, there are people out there who manage their weight despite metabolic side effects of anti-psychotics.
