Here we can all be heard for a little while

Hahahahaha! I love that, Pyxis! It's Sir P!

Do try colouring, Errata! You can get some very intricate adult books that are basically postcards that you can then display or send to people if you wish. It is very relaxing and calming for your mind.

Hi guys - I'm a part-time lurker on this thread, hope you don't mind me just chipping in but I wondered if anyone had heard from tea lover yet?

Just worrying about her alongside everyone else.

Thank you MU, hugs are welcomed. I feel absolutely terrible. In some ways it's harder when I feel stable for a while because I forget how bad it is when I'm not and it always seems worse. Voices yelling, images of other worlds, very odd thoughts, emotions that are inappropriate to the circumstance and a strong urge to either run out on the street screaming or flush away all my medication (I so want to do the latter). I won't do either, instead I will sit and take some more anti-psychotics.

This will pass as always. Just a day of messed up chemicals.

I am reading everyone's posts and might comment later but I can't trust myself to do so right now. Hugs to all that need them, though.

Its always diffult when you have a period of stability and then start feeling all the bad things again, it can become easy to become a bit complacent so to speak and used to things being how they are, so when you crash it feels a million times worse because you're not used to feeling like that. Treat today as a rest day, take your meds and don't feel you have to post if you're not feeling ell enough, these feelings WILL pass, its just a case of getting though it, which you've done before and will do again. ((((more hugs))))

I need to over haul everything in my life. From my diet to my spending.

Work out why I get so annoyed and how to deal with it.

I know there is no such thing as "normal" but to be as normal as I can for me. And that I can't always have what I want and to be more understanding.

I suppose the biggest thing for me that I have admitted I can't cope and need to sort it out.

You've already taken one of the biggest hardest steps, its takes a lot to be able to admit to yourself, and others that you need help or that you are struggling to cope. But you've done just that! And you should feel proud of yourself. Take each day as it comes, one day at a time. Getting to where you want to be is your goal, and you can achieve it, just understand it may take some time to get there, but thats ok cos there is no rush and you have to take things at your own pace.

I have read that its 80% diet and 20% exercise to help loose weight.

I am binge eater and eat when stressed, up set etc.

I am now going to give my cards to my husband. I have food in the house and really don't need anything more. As have books and cross stitch to do.

I need to eat better, exercise and get a goods nights sleep and take my tablets and that should help me get some of the way where I want to be.

Its my birthday next month. And get the feeling I will be celebrating it on my own again !!!!! Oh joy.

Ah binge eating. I've had periods where i've been very bad in regards to that (crisps are my weakness...whole tube of pringles? yup can polish that off.....same with a multi bag of crisps!)

Its difficult but the best thing i've found is trying not to buy the things i binge on. If they aren't in the house i can't have them, likewise if you give your husband your cards, you can't buy them. I actually bought some apples earlier.... :rotfl: the thought being if i'm going to binge i should at least try and be "healthy" about it

Your birthday you say? If its next month that means there is still time to make plans if you wanted to? Is there anything you'd like to do? What would make it enjoyable for you? And don't forget Team WaS will be here to help you celebrate if you'd like

Take care of yourself WaS, and big hugs to you and everyone else who needs them! X x

Hi MV! I've been wondering the same myself.

I know. I can't put a time limit on it. As who knows the secret of the black magic box!!!!

I have decided that from tomorrow I will allocate an hour a day each for decorating, spending time in the garden and x-stitch and going for a walk every day.

If I want to do more I can do.

has anyone tried the new J2O its Apple Raspberry and Rose. Liquid turkish delight LOL!!!!

Got one question for everyone. And its not medical help. But what do you find the best time to take your meds.

I was thinking bed time as they are suppose to cause drowsiness anyway.

Depends on the meds. I used to do morning because I was more likely to remember them then. Wash, teeth, tablets.
Pm was more snooze in chair then fall into bed, possibly still with clothes on. No way I was going to remember them then.

I am crap at taking any tablets. Good job I was never on the pill.

I never take things at the same time. I wonder if I put them in with my face lotion and potions that I do twice a day if I will remember to take them at night time.

I never get up or go to bed at the same time!!!

Tying new routines in with existing ones is meant to help, so if it's something you do anyway, it should help. That's the theory anyway.

Meds varies really. You just need to figure out what is easiest for you.

My mood stabilizer i take at night, as it causes drowsiness and helps me sleep, i did take my anti depressant at the same time but it causes insomnia! So now i take my AD when i get up instead. Tbh i'm not that strict about taking them at the same time....i find as long as i take them roughly within the same few hours each day they seem to work still (and this would be why i came off the mini pill as i was supposed to take that at the same time everyday, now i just have my injection!)
