  • Afternoon everyone,

    I've lost my mojo and can't be bothered to find it. On a more positive note, I walked 2 miles in my lunch break.

    Afternoon all

    Fed up today, stupid job is taking forever to confirm, I should be starting on the 19th meaning I need to hand my notice in tomorrow, but I still havent had any written confirmation and had to send more info in for screening today. I'm really scared it's all going to fall through :(

    Hope the rest of you are having better days

    xxxxx
  • SRM and Kayleigh, they're probably on some Caribbean Island having sun tan lotion rubbed into their backs/shoulders by some tonned hunk, sipping on a cocktail or two. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Must have walked a million miles today. Got lost twice on the way, had to ask people and after I'd got there I had a nice big panic attack. So, not always good.
    I talked to the psych, he's the first one to actually listen to me when I talk about 'Them' - no one else has tried to understand the impact it has on my life - except I burst into tears as that's the part of me that scares me the most - I think it's real, but no one has ever believed me, until him. He listened to what I had to say, commented on my medication (yup, some of it's high, but as he said, it's high for a reason and he's not one to take away meds that are working - he believes in allowing them to be prescribed as long as they help but the patient is the best person to say what does and doesn't work)

    I now know what's wrong with me....borderline personality disorder with recurrent depressive disorder - it means I get depressed and can't get back out of it, and that I get depressed a lot, so me being on anti-depressants constantly is a good thing. He also said it's normal to have psychosis with BPD, I nearly cried when he told me, it means I'm not a schizo, that in the realms of MH I'm sort of normal...He said I need to go back and see him in 4 weeks, and that I'm being referred for counseilling with the emotional response group (?) so they can help me sort out what I'm meant to do with emotions.

    Such a big weight off my mind, knowing I've got a decent psych who actually listens!

    Well done Elfen. I'm pleased they're going in your direction and have started to listen properly.

    I'm tired. My eye constantly wants to close....so going to send a CV off and then sort myself out for the weekend.

    Plus I have a wasp nest under the balcony window. Will have to ring the council and get it sorted next week. £35 but there's no way I'm tackling it myself. Angry wasps are something best avoided in my book :D

    Haven't received my Career Development Loan pack. Seems they've had a rush on and had to reprint. Wonder why that's happened? Do you think it could be related to all the doom-mongering?

    p.s. I'm predicting my magic touch with the Paisley weather forecast is going to fail this weekend. Looks like it's going to chuck it down most of the weekend!

  • Evening,

    Lizzie - sending positive vibes your way, could you give them a call to double check what;s going on?

    Elfen - that's great that you've found someone who's listened to you.

    Butti - eek wasps!!! Have a great weekend regardless of the weather.

    Kayleigh - chocolate, yummy!

    My mojos still missing!
