    I am having a wonderful discussion about near misses.on LinkedIn.

    Busy busy tomorrow not looking forward to healthy minds at all.
  • I've barely moved off the couch either code, but that's ok, as Sundays are meant to be a day of rest. :D

    When I got back after 11pm last night, there were two police cars parked near our house and two police men walking out of it. I wondered what the hell was going on! :eek: About 10-15 mins earlier, D had looked out of the window as he'd seen headlights and thought it was me coming back. As he did, a neighbour (over the road) security light came on and D saw a bloke kicking in the front door. He was 99% sure it was the man who lives there and could have sworn he saw the women standing behind it on the inside.

    He kicked it so hard it came off it's hinges and fell inwards. They've just had a baby, and so it alarmed him enough to phone the police. From what we've seen of him, he does seem to have quite a temper.

    D was shaking when I got back and was like "I've done the right thing haven't I?" I reassured him that I thought he had because god knows what this guy could have done. It's usually a very quite, peaceful area with no trouble at all.

    Labyrinth was a bit scary for littlewing and she cuddled me on the sofa. She was fine after the first minute when I explained there would be a happy ending! She asked lots of questions.

    D definitely did the right thing, georgiegirl.

    tea, glad you are exercised, policed and back again.

    welly, hope you are okay.

    melly, I am ridiculously pleased about your yorkshire pudding. Good luck with the interview tomorrow.

    I watched Frozen today too, code.

    Love to everyone else. WaS, are you okay? How's the grandmother?

    How kind of you to ask about my friend's grandmother, whitewing. Sadly, she slipped away in her sleep two days ago. It was very peaceful and she had her family with her.

    I am not very well right now. I am having visual hallucinations which is very unusual, they are usually auditory only so they are making me panic. It is the weirdest thing because I am seeing things that I know aren't real but that still doesn't stop them. I have been squeezing my eyes tightly shut and thinking it isn't real so they won't be there when I open them but the hallucinations are still there. It makes no difference whether I believe in them or not, my brain still projects them. It isn't actually anything to worry about, it's just another way for psychosis to present itself but because it is new to me I am not coping very well.

    Other than that I have the usual symptoms of sleeping for far too long every day, paranoia and feeling anything I say is stupid and offensive. Hence I am quiet because I feel like everything I say will be terrible. That's pretty much par for the course with my psychosis and my psychiatrist isn't concerned. It will pass as it always does, I just need to get my head around the idea that I now seem to have visual hallucinations too.

    I am reading and cheering you all along and hugging and squishing from a distance!

    Oh poor WaSsie. :(

    I thought you were rather quiet.

    Do remember that your friend's grandmother dying was certainly not your fault. Definitely not your fault.

    Any voices hanging around......warn them that the Golden Lights will zap them if they don't b***** off.

    I'm so glad your leak got fixed.
    Did they do anything about the mushroom crop on your bathroom ceiling?

    I was wondering, and apologies if this has been mentioned before..... Do you take Vit. D supplements, to make up for not going out?

    What happened with your sleep study WAS? (apologies if you posted and I missed it.) I was thinking about that the other day.
    Eta - you couldn't be offensive if you tried. Don't let the voices tell you otherwise.

    Big hugs darling WaS. Am thinking of you and your friend (FWIW, a peaceful end at a good age, surrounded by family sounds rather lovely to me). I very much hope the hallucinations let up today and you're able to get some decent rest.

    Melly - are you speaking to healthy minds today? Very best of luck with it if you are. Please try to remember that they are only there to help you, certainly not judge you in any way. We are all cheering you on xx.

    Georgie - sounds like he definitely did the right thing. Hope they're all ok.

    I've got a busy week (stuff every evening) and I'm stressing about the logistics of it already. Plus my car smells weird - that's not good!

    How does your car smell weird, tea? (Just a slight concern that someone may have been fiddling with it).

    WaS, sorry about your visual hallucinations. Grandmother was absolutely definitely not your fault. In fact, your kind thoughts and support for your friend would have made her life and passing more comfortable and peaceful.

    Do keep writing on here. If it sounds strange we will know why. Provided it doesn't upset you, it would be interesting to see the effect on your posts. But of course, it is up to you what you feel comfortable with.
