    A few hours is still great @Schildpad so you're doing great. 😊

    Have you thought about what kind of work you'd like to do?

    @Catherine21

    considering cutting off caffeine as well… that is another thing. maybe caffeine free stuff. i hope tomorrow i will feel better, now i regret the situation and i would probably let it go if it happens again. and do nothing but it is now too late. anyway.. i am waiting for the time to go to bed. maybe a film or two and bed time. but i completely lost my appetite.

    @Grumpy1314 as a fellow petrol-head have you watched Junk & Disorderly, Bangers & Cash and Salvage Hunters Classic Cars … they're about the only things I watch on TV

    All informative but ever so slightly depressing. From oil cans to cars if only I'd known what the things I gave away or scrapped would be worth today

    One being the shell and running gear of a Ford Mk 3 RS 1600i … I had no room for it so gave it away. Worth upwards of £20,000 just as a non runner. Hindsight is such a wonderful thing

    @Albus_Scope with my ptsd from my previous job i do not really want to do anything similar to that job.. it will have to be something very quiet. but i am considering to do something. i need to be diagnosed properly.. i am sure i have autism and ptsd and adhd but only diagnosed as anxiety and depression. i am finally got a referral to the anxiety clinic . i hope they accept me.. and i can try to start treatment and it works. and maybe the find out if i have something else other that anxiety and depression that i am sure i have. i think nobody will want to hire me. as i have too many issues mentally and physically but also visually. i have mentioned before i have nf1 .not many companies will accept me.. maybe one that deals with similar people. i will see.. my friend says she could not be in my situation relying on the system etc.. and i can not blame her it is so distressing. my resolution is really find something i can do. maybe part time. maybe only one day a week. or two and move to more days little by little.

    i am thinking about museums etc.. one of those where people are sitting down checking people are not touching the paintings etc… maybe a shop art related or the museums shops. it has to be something art related as i am a bit knowledgeable .all my volunteering is on that field. but maybe also helping people with benefits etc.. i like helping people. even though i sometimes lose my temper like today and normally it does not happen. but when it happens….. well it is done now.

    i am hoping for tomorrow .. i am more a member only helping setting up the place and maybe come up with some ideas …. so yes.. but it is very hard.. if you ask me i sometimes feel like shutting the blinds and the tv and going to sleep. and never leave the room. but i know that is not good idea so i try. but it is hard. also the longer it passes the harder it will get to go back to a working environment. i do not know.. but i can only hope things will get better.

    but to be honest i am willing to try my hand in any possible job in the future etc.. but it is so hard at the same time. anyway. i used to be able to read one book after another one.. now it gets harder… but i will check that book….

    It's good to stay flexible with ideas @Schildpad you never know what you might find out there. 😊

    When we become so overwelmed everything seems impossible reading watching tv eating the whole mind gets flooded with constant thoughts I'm really going to try to do something little everyday as I get lost in hours of fear anxiety I really have to fight this it's so hard living in constant fear I hope for us all peace of mind we deserve peace of mind b

    i am so anxious my heart hurts.. it is going to take some time for me to forget what happened today and deal with the guilt. it is done and i can not change what what happened.

    living with a mental illness makes every day a challenge continuously having thoughts and some of them not knowing if they are real or not. i am overthinking so much. anyway i have to stop worrying about what happened today i can not change what happened only hope i would act differently if it happens again.

    Me too.

    I cannot concentrate on long reims of repetitive copy and paste and its dragging me right down, so I'm going to wait for official announcements to be made.

    Just eaten porridge and sultanas then a peanut butter sandwich (ok, 3 peanut butter sandwiches).

    I am now about to put my layers on to give Gus his walk. It's funny, my wardrobe seems to be the same all year round now!

    One peanut butter sandwich to see if you like it, two to make sure, three because you did like it. Seems reasonable to me @Ranald

    Is it well lit where you take Gus for his walk at night?

    Take care.

    Nope, out in the countryside, very dark! I have a head torch plus the lights on either scooter or chair.

    Btw, if you haven't tried Meridian, then you don't know what peanut butter is. 🐷

    One day I shall throw caution to the wind and try the almond butter!
