    I have the opposite issue. For me reading often causes hyperfocus with my ADHD.

    The reason I wear glasses is because when I was a child, 7-10ish, I would read books until 2-4am. My parents took my reading night light away (they had got it for me because I enjoyed reading, but they didn't think it would mean I'd be reading until 4am!).

    So instead I tried reading via the dim streetlight coming in through my bedroom window. A few to several months later and I could no longer read the whiteboard in school.

    One of my regrets when living up there is not visiting the Highlands enough. I visited Loch Lomond and Perth, but never any further. You know when you can do something almost anytime, so you never actually plan to do it?

    We hope to move back up to Glasgow someday. When I do I think I'll make the trip to Skye. A great aunt I was very close to is buried there and I'd like to visit it.

    @Jimm_Scope
    I will meet up with yous for a coffee and cake lol your right it’s the same for me I hardly visit the lovely places that aren’t to far from me yet people travel from all over to visit them.
    I must make more off an effort to do it.

    @rubin16
    I hope your feeling better by the time your appointment is. I hope you get to visit the places you’d like to see in the not to distant future.

    ❤️

    Just had a message off Dr they spoke to dermatology who suggested a different cream, so had to ring boots to take yesterday's cream that was prescribed away before delivery tomorrow, otherwise will be a waste.

    @Sandy_123 thank you. I hope they get better. They look like I am in drugs. Well I am maybe that is why. Has to be venlafaxine as I do not recall that with mirtazapine.. I went to my volunteering this morning and later on to a walk . I am too knackered but I need the exercise even if in pain. Time to relax now.

    @Marydoll5 Thank you. I do enjoy downtime but it's all I seem to do.

    I enjoy baking, cooking or creating a bullet journal. But my mum never has the time to help me and my sister won't do anything with me because she is a spoilt and grumpy and lazy teenager.

    I'm sorry to hear that. Hope he is doing better and glad he has found something to entertain him and with the help from you. He is lucky to have you.

    I just wish there is something I can do on my own.

    It does, thank you.

    Morning everyone!

    I can't believe I've had to put jeans and a jumper on. What's happened to the sun!?

    How are you all? @Marydoll5 don't think I've seen you since the wedding. How was it?

    Morning everyone, looks like summer is over back to having my hoodie on. I'm still not too well at the moment as still have a bad cough and cold. I just phoned the hospital for advice for tomorrow appointment and they have cancelled it for tomorrow and tuesday to be safe. I just have to contact them when I'm better to start treatment.

    Its typically my luck that though, waited months to be given this medication and literally 2 days before starting it I get a cough and cold haha

    Hope you all have a good day despite the weather. I'm just going to pot around home as don't want to go out at the moment incase I give it someone.

    Hi @Rachel_Scope

    We had a great time at my son's wedding. Hard to believe that it's all done and dusted! If it's allowed let me know and I'll put a couple of pictures up.

    The day was sunny and warm and the whole wedding party were lovely. The young nephews stole the show in their suits lol.

    The brides dad did a reggae set which was brilliant for dancing and a trad group welcomed everyone in to the reception. Food was jerk chicken, curried goat, salted cod fritters and all the trimmings. The colours of flowers and finery reflected the Irish flag so it was all a blend of Carribean and Irish heritage.

    @rubin16 sorry your 1st infusion is delayed. Feel better soon.

    We are back in Belfast today and tomorrow for a mix of hospital and dental appointments....oh the fun 😀

    Of course you can put pictures up! Just crop the picture or put a smiley face over anyone's faces to protect privacy 😊 I want to see your outfit! A reggae set sounds absolutely amazing. I'm so glad you had such a wonderful day @Marydoll5.
