    Morning everyone, hope you're all doing okay today.

    Sounds stressful @luvpink, are there any secret bits that stay peaceful or do the tourists get everywhere?

    Hi Grumpy, I had a similar experience post-diagnosis; suggestions were out of date/no longer running/not appropriate for me.

    Most of the information which helped me has come from the NAS (as Bluebell suggests) and most support and understanding from this forum.

    Oh Grumpy I know EXACTLY what you are going through right now and "Innerstand" completely as im kind of in the same boat as you. Everything you wrote I can relate to. I really hope you find an advocate to help you speak whats in your heart and support you on your journey

    I'm not feeling very well today I have got a UTI. How about you @Holly_Scope ?

  • Holly_Scope

    Oh no @durhamjaide2001, so sorry. That must be incredibly uncomfortable. Have you got some medication for it? 😟

    I'm doing ok thank you. It's my last day at work this week so I'm excited for a weekend of spring cleaning and sorting my things out. I've a lot of clothes and products I don't use so going to sort them and give them away to my younger cousins. Nothing beats a nice spring clean when you're in the mood for it 😊

    yes some antibiotics for it but they are making me feel sick. I'm having my other half of my breakfast for lunch which isn't like me at all.

    Sorry to hear @durhamjaide2001. Hopefully it'll clear up quickly. Normally takes a few day's of antibiotics doesn't it. 💛

    Just non-working days @Catherine21. I've got 3 in a row this weekend which will be nice. Hopefully the weather remains decent and I might treat myself to a day in the garden after my spring clean ☺️

    Thanks @Catherine21. Oh gosh, that sounds like a productive day! Do you feel good for it. I can imagine it being a good stress relief lol. 😊

    Hey @Grumpy1314 that sounds like a tough time for you, I totally get the need to having someone to just vocalise things to, it can be really hard bottling things up. It's why Samaritans can be great, it's really worth you giving them a call so you can just speak your truth with no judgment. It always helped me when I was stuck in that dark place. Shout are supposed to be really good too. But please, try to keep taking your medication every day as it's really important. Missing even a single dose of antidepressants (and similar) can throw your brain chemistry out of whack really easily, so that wont be helping matters.

    I'll be on shift here all weekend if you need your mind taking off things. Infact hte whole community is here for you 24/7. 😊

    I'm feeling good at the moment.

    The weather here is lovely and I'm going out to meet a friend later and enjoy the sea views.
