    You can't beat yourself up for something out of your control. ADHD can be very difficult to live with and impact a lot of areas of your life but you are not a problem because of it. It also comes with many strengths and positives that you should focus on.

    Having your own radio station is amazing! How often do you present on it and what kind of music do you usually play?

    I hope your appointments went okay? There are about 6 pages of posts since you wrote this to me so you may have already updated, so I apologise if I missed it.

    I'm doing really good. Had a few health scares this week but looking on the bright side!

    evening everyone

    exhausted today to say the least, I took my Anti Depressants last night as normal, however my Insomnia decided it wanted to hello and I didn’t manage to get to bed or to sleep until 6 this morning, then woke up just after 9 and had to have a kip of the sofa this afternoon. Just struggling mentally at the moment and finding it hard to judge myself or see where I fit into the world. I’ve been told if I want an advocate I would have to have a needs assessment done by Social Services which is yet another case of me having to fight my corner to get my voice heard. Anyhow I am gonna close down for the night and just watch some tv before an early night.

    Hey.

    Regarding tests I got the results this morning some abnormalities showed up and he wants it looked into, but I've been ruled out for renal,liver and heart failure as well as thyroid, arthritis. I don't think he knows as we expected one of the latter two and he seems worried about levels of this and that and it not being attributed to the things it would usually be

    sorry you've had a scare 💛

    regarding the radio station 60s-now mainly focusing on forgotten songs over common ones but both. of you type TVGR radio into Google you'll find it and ways of listening.

    Hey,

    I'm so pleased it has ruled out some of the scarier stuff like renal, liver and heart failure! It must be very frustrating to not know the cause though. Are you having a lot of symptoms?

    I will definitely look up the radio station!

    Sounds horrendous @Zippy1983 .

    swelling mostly hands,feet, abdomen that's why all the things that usually cause it have been tested and ruled out. lightheadedness, headaches blurred vision.

    he'll prescribe something to try get rid of it tomorrow as furosemide didn't touch it even at 120mg, something odds going on even he said that. I think that phrase makes me MORE worried rather than less

    There seems to be so much red tape in getting support, I'm sorry you're battling this. I hope you manage some sleep this evening as I know for me, everything feels worse when I'm tired.

    I wish all the best for you and your mum, and will pass on the healing energy that many have given me. I'm glad your bloods didn't show heart failure you must be relieved.

    I'm going to be as positive as possible now, and put good energy out there so 2026 turns out to be a better year, not only for me but for everyone facing challenges at the moment.

    Take care of yourself.

    Yeah i'm in high spirits today, after keeping breakfast down I had abit of lunch. A small bowl of soup, and alittle bit of mash potato and gravy. It gave me stomach ache for a few hours but settled and the main thing was I kept it down and wasn't sick.

    I'm so happy I can eat alittle bit, and now finally going in the right direction. I just want to get home and be well at christmas for my nan.
