    Oh well home alone with action collie this evening.

    As action man is on a man date with my husband :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    They have gone to the cinema this evening. Both wanted to see a film that I was not interested in.

    So see what time action man drags himself in after his man date :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Yours

    Well, after years on this forum I am about to use the ignore button for the first time. Not because the person is seriously bothering me, but just because life is way too short to be doing with irritating tw@ts. :)

    ETA - I'm slightly disappointed because I thought the person would completely vanish. Instead, you can still see they've posted, there is a message saying I can't read the post from x because they are on my ignore list.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    Its very helpful actually. I have insight when i'm depressed, not so much when that hypermanic. Feeling a little better today though mind was going cra\y at work, supervisior was asking me to do stuff an i was sating yes then not even registering what i'd said yes too :o also it feels like i can feel the synapses in my brain firing off like little electric shocks. My brain feels "busy", its really hard to explain :o

    I did a thing today! I got back in contact with a friend i;ve not seen since my birthday and went round to see her new house. Was really positive to see her (and her bf). She onlu lives about a 20 min walk away from me now! Practically neighbours! Shall be making the effort to see her more often.

    Calley congrats on the new arrivals, hope everyone gets settled soon. :)

    Busy brain... can definitely relate to that (although for different underlying reasons of course). Glad work went ok MU, and that you had a nice time with your friend.

    Although that sounds like quite an odd situation it's also really lovely. It would be fine if all they did was get on well enough that things weren't awkward if you're all together but the fact that they're comfortable enough to go out without you is fantastic.

    Good luck with getting all of AM's stuff moved in!!


    Elsien, I've never bothered putting anyone on ignore but it is disappointing that you can still see that they've posted. I know what I'm like and I'm far too nosy not to want to see what they've written if I know the post's there.

    IzHe and I went on a mini pub crawl last night and have now found a venue for our wedding reception. It's all starting to feel very real now and, although I'm massively excited, it's kind of scary!!

    I got in last night, having forced myself to go to my exercise class. I nearly walked out of it 3 times, simply because I didn't want to do the things they were asking us to do. I got a lift home with my friend and was on a downer with everything he said. (Luckily I have learnt over many years that if I can't be nice I don't say anything!)

    I even thought about posting '!!!! you, !!!! you, !!!! you' on here - not in an aggressive manner but to emphasize how unbothered I was about the world. But I could not be arsed.

    In more rational moments, I contemplated getting the doctor to increase my medication.

    Then I realised. Because I had fallen asleep on the sofa and stayed there all night, I got cold and I was tired. But I also did not take my normal medicine. I forgot all about it - at night (when I usually take it) and the following morning (when I would have taken it).

    Took it last night, and got some sleep with a hot water bottle. Feel a lot, lot better today. Scary that missing one dose at this time of year can plummet me so badly still.
    :heartsmil When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because these weirdos are your true family.

    It'd be great to invite you all but introductions could be interesting - "here are some people I've never actually met and I don't know their real names (and they know you as IzHe) but they're all lovely." :D

    I know it's not a funny situation but that part did make me giggle. I'm glad you worked out what had caused it though and that you're already feeling better.

    I've actually done something like that when having a meetup of the people in the Everquest guild I belonged to, we introduced with character names first then real names (although many already knew these). It was fine, though the first one was in a bar in Amsterdam, not at a wedding!

    Though I haven't played in years (and nor has she), I'm going to the birthday meal of a high elf cleric in London next month :rotfl:
