One of my tactics is to try to think of a brighter colour, generally it works but it is struggling at the moment.

Yellow is my calm because it is a sunny colour and a sunny day makes me feel happier and lighter. Pinks and reds are angry colours for me, light green is I am ok ish, dark green is another warning colour but not as bad as dark blue.

I'm on a weird grey right now...no idea what that means, not had this one too often, maybe it is the halfway point between the dark blue I have been having and the dark green, which would mean my efforts are partially working.

Would these help? If you enlarge them to fill the screen and the stare at them? (It's amazing the effect that colour visual input has on brainwaves!)

Sue, have you thought about possibly painting your bathroom walls and ceiling yellow? So that you could lie in the bath, wet or dry!, and stare at the colour, when you feel bad?

I chose my bathroom colour when I was lying in the Rest Zone of the Millennium Dome in 2000, watching a light show which was bathing the walls, and slowing turning through the spectrum, and when it reached a particular shade, I felt this enormous wave of relaxation wash over me.

It took me a while to find that exact shade of paint, but when I did, I had my bathroom done in it, floor as well!

The middle one does, yes!

Now to sit and stare at it for a while....

After a story my parents told me, my bathroom is not going to be yellow....they had a bright yellow bathroom, dad went in there wearing his bell bottoms (it was the 70's ) and a whole swarm of wasps went flying up the bottom of his trousers and stung him in the err, private region. The wasps had been attracted to the bathroom because of the colour.

I've got quite neutral colours on the walls, from very pale light green to a yellowy cream. To be honest, wall colours don't really have much of an influence on me apart from angry or busy colours (which are different to how I see my mood colours). My bedroom is a very pastel light pink and I find it very restful for sleeping whereas if my mood is pink, it is watch out world, I am on the verge of exploding!

Did I ever tell you I had a mixed up brain :rotfl:

You're right about yellow and insects.

It's why I'd never have a yellow car - they get covered in flies!

Just back.
TRA spoke to landlord and got court held off for another couple of weeks. They also applied for a discretionary housing benefit payment for the bedroom tax and gave me 3 bags of shopping (pasta, beans, chopped toms, cornflakes, dolly mixtures, popcorn, evaporated milk and pineapple.) Which will help.

Grey has always been a place I go when life gets too much for me, Sue. I agree with you that yellow is a positive. It is nice to find someone who has their mood represented by colours! Hopefully this is just a blip. If you can try not to look for a reason yet because sometimes we can convince ourselves that something is a cause when it isn't just because we are so desperate to understand what is happening to us. Brains once they have suffered a breakdown can occasionally imbalance slightly again for no reason at all, my does this a lot but it usually only a tiny relapse that goes again quickly. Keep communicating as much as you can, just think of functioning right now and don't take on anything difficult, I am crossing everything that this will pass for you.

Glad you have a little bit of good news Melly! Or at least helpful news. Hang in there, where is the floating support worker?

You did the right thing, Faerie. Your friend will realise that when they start to feel a little better. You showed them very much how much you care for them.

At least another two weeks off WaS assessment was done I can chase them week after next.

Interestingly idiot neighbours had ramped right up (getting in at 5am slamming doors and running around screaming)
I emailed the HA on Friday with all the same info that the TRA have done today and it was read yesterday afternoon.
This morning he left at 7.50am and I didn't hear him at all (it's never ever that quiet) OH thinks that they were told we were going to be evicted and it now turns out we aren't.

Interesting, Melly! Not long to go until you can chase them, I suppose it is too much to ask that, that won't be necessary? Mind you, I have given up on time scales for anything, 14 weeks and my ESA form is still in the same waiting list it has been in since March 9th...

It's not the first time it's happened WaS
Listening equipment goes in, morning before noise is unbearable then they go out, they get back and tip toe in is just one of the other ones.

Sleepy now
