Sore throats are evil, especially the scratchy "I want to itch it so bad" type. [[hugs]]

The lady came about the garden. She is so nice.

She said that if I like she can put me on the tenant help waiting list and then I'll have a neighbourhood warden to help me and come and visit me and address any issues about my mental health. She said she would be my neighbourhood warden and would visit me weekly to see how I'm doing.

Weird. I've been prescribed an anti-pyschotic. She told me that I'm not pyschotic, but it can help with depression. I can't find any reference to it being prescribed for anything other than Bi-Polar or Schizophrenia online.

Also, pharmacy misread prescription and gave me 14 weeks worth, instead of 14 days!

14 weeks worth!!!! That's a lot of pills.lol.

You will only have been prescribed 14 days so that whoever prescribed them can keep a check on you because of any side effects you may get. For the pharmacy to give you 14 weeks worth is appalling, still go back to whoever after the 14 days to check you are ok and the pills are right for you. Take the other pills back to the pharmacy or chuck them in the bin, don't keep taking them after 14 days without seeing your gp or whoever prescribed them.

(sorry for the rant, you got me worried there!)

Wow LadyM great result about your garden! That lady sounds very nice!

And FG, think the pills are well worth a try. They have prescribed them, so hopefully they may work. Think you should get 12 weeks worth back to the chemist though (asap)?

Same here Top drawer, I've lots to do but never get it done

Hope everyone is ok, it's been an eventful day!

Proper stressed. Have some family problems here and was talking to my youngest daughter, who let slip she had taken an overdose a few months ago after a certain family member visited. This person is generally locked up, but is planning to visit (briefly) in July. Daughter is in bits. I feel like sh*t.
