Chunk it. 10 minutes clearing up earns you 10 minutes doing your own thing.

That's not a bad idea, thanks Errata.

It's a great idea Errata.

I'm hoping the lack of posting by people is a good sign. I know I don't post much anymore, for a couple of reasons, good and bad.

Hi Miro i don't post much but still read and often wonder how you are doing.Are you getting on any better with your flatmate?How are the cats? wonder what your good and bad reasons for not posting much are but you don't have to say if you don't want to.I am doing ok back on meds as i had a bad spell but l am lucky that meds work for me.

Hi gem.

Sorry to hear you are back on meds. Have they disrupted your work and are you still doing the same thing?

Flatmate and I are ok. Will never be like it was, but not too bad at the moment. My 2 remaining cats are ok too. Both 16 now so not long left Every sneeze worries me even more now.

Bad reasons are I find coming online very tiring these days. I don't seem to have much energy or concentration. Good news, and whisper it quietly, I met a young lady in early September, very sweet and gentle who has had some similar experiences and has similar interests and values. She is French but has lived in England since 16 (27 now, so a bit younger than me at 34) and has an English Mother/French Father, and moved here when parents split up. She has a dual nationality so no worries about deportation. Never liked the French accent before, but she has a very slight English twang to hers - very sexy :rotfl:

How long has it taken you to get a correct diagnosis?

My Oh & I are having a hard time getting the mental health team to offer a proper diagnosis. Just wondering if others have experienced the same.

I hate the feeling of having to drag yourself to work. Brings you down big time. Glad the meds are working for you and you are able to continue. If they work, then it's better than nothing.

Thanks, it's going well so far. She's far more enjoyable to be with than the last two. Alot more 50/50 relationship going on and she's very very nice. We don't do loads (money) but we spend most of our time together and when we're not together, the texting is happening. Not sure my old phone will be able to take it, or my ribs from all the laughter. You don't all have to buy those hats yet though
