I got told off a bit earlier for taking out of date sleepers I’m no longer prescribed but idc, I’m going to do it again tonight because it’s less risky than being awake and no one’s offered me any better suggestion.

CMHT called just to say that someone else from the CMHT will call tomorrow to arrange an appointment. So bit of a pointless phone call. I really don’t know what to do with myself, I can’t concentrate on anything, not even just listening to an audiobook. Reading and TV are impossible. I can’t take in all the detail on social media. But if I’m not distracted I’m constantly thinking about running away and harming myself.

@Callalily The only other option is to go to Accident and Emergency if I’m going to do something right now. But I’m not at that point

After the big surge of energy required to make those phone calls I now feel sad and exhausted. IDK what to do with myself. I want to go back to bed or get in the bath but I can’t because the CMHT are supposed to ring. I can’t even concentrate on social media or casual games

Senior prac called very quickly and is making an immediate referral to the Community Mental Health Team (who I used to be seen by until I went into remission). She wants me to be seen today or tomorrow. Let's see what happens. If they will see me, Tom will drive me, as it’s very difficult to get to by public transport - so helpful for people who are no heavy duty psych meds that stop them from driving 🙃

@AutisticDoctorStruggles Not that I’m hopeful they will do much, but you never know

Slept through the night thanks to drugs, woke up for meds and toast, went back to sleep. Can see lots of love supporting messages here but too poorly to respond individually, just know that I appreciate you all.

Gathered all my courage and rang my psychiatrist’s secretary - no answer. Rang 111, chose option 2 for MH - there was a long wait time so I asked for a callback, wasn’t expecting much but they did call and in answered a million questions.

Upshot of 45 minute call: a senior practitioner is supposed to be calling me back within 4 hours. Reminded of A&E/999 as option 🙃

@RolloTreadway It was very hard. When nobody answered I almost gave up

The Two Types of Vacationers:

Me: Hey Honey, what do you want to do on vacation? I want to walk somewhere lovely and try something new every day.

Hubs: Sleep as long as I want.

@RickiTarr @olena I love staying in hotels but I do not like when hotel breakfasts finish at like 10am. When am I supposed to get my sleeping in?

@purplepadma@beige.party avatar

OK I’m really going to sleep this time

On a sliding scale of the worlds onion eaters, I think I'm probably quite close to the top. Would genuinely be interested in meeting number 1 to see what's going on in their life. It might even be me. Wouldn't that be quite something.

@TheBreadmonkey My great granny used to eat raw onions like eating an apple. I have always thought this quite insane.

@TheBreadmonkey Who knows why? She peeled it. She was born in 1899 and was suffering from dementia by the time I was old enough to ask questions

purplepadma,
@purplepadma@beige.party avatar

@TheBreadmonkey Let’s see, I think she died when I was 11, so 1985? Maybe she cleared the way for Live Aid

purplepadma,
@purplepadma@beige.party avatar

@TheBreadmonkey @NadiaPurge I just thought she was a bit of a country yokel

purplepadma,
@purplepadma@beige.party avatar

@TheBreadmonkey Yes! Yes, she was. One of the more interesting features of my family tree

@Nickiquote @TheBreadmonkey Your breath has certainly become death

Kitten Watch 2024 continues. Lilac is still holding out on us, but there is a lot of activity in her belly. The kittens are definitely restless. I will be surprised if we don't have little ones by the end of this coming week. In the meantime, Lilac continues to be very sweet and affectionate. She was found living outdoors, but it is obvious that she was once someone's pet.

@bbsmooth I’m very excited for this!

I need to buy new bras. Pretty sure I’m still wearing all the same ones I wore when I was 80 lbs heavier, and they’re not doing the girls any favors at all anymore.

purplepadma,
@purplepadma@beige.party avatar

@izzyamar Good bras are expensive, especially if you are above a D cup. But life has taught me that it’s better to have two really great bras than four or five cheaper ones that don’t give as great a shape

purplepadma,
@purplepadma@beige.party avatar

@izzyamar I would love to be able to go into a regular clothing store and pay £20 for a bra but I’m not built that way!

I cooked and ate a very successful roast dinner and I’ve just taken a sleeping tablet from my dwindling supply. I think it’s just too risky to be lying awake by myself in the middle of the night when my head is like this. If I do wake and feel risky I will call NHS 111

@mycotropic I’m actually on a break due to being mentally unwell

Sick with a cold. Sinuses are so sore and swollen. Got up for some water but that's all I feel up to, back to sleep for me.

@Beatlesandworms @jadevol Sounds like you need rest, I think you should honour that if you can
