Mental illness and running

Thanks Frodo

You ok by 'eck?

Sounds hectic, hang in there

I think it is, haven't heard from her though. I know she was tired yesterday so maybe therapy has left her pooped.

I've been for a short walk

Any more of that tea and Lindt going Frodo? *looks hopeful*

Yay to bottomless supplies

Just chatting to SOLB on fb now - she's tired but ok

ooopsie sorry all, I got tired out. Therapy was really big this week. We looked back on all the pictures I've done over the last 12 months. I thought they all followed the same set of rules but they don't. I have really distinct styles when I'm not really me at all. 

I was very freaked out by a picture I did that comes from a childlike alter kinda brought up a whole load of stuff that I usually only think about from my tougher adult perspective and I hadn't had to 'feel' properly before. Was all a bit much so I've been frantically not thinking for a few days. 

I found it a bit difficult hearing my world through my notes too, it's all so stark and kinda traumatic that way. Even just old traumas, it's not like I forget they happened but I'm not used to seeing them all grouped together in one place like that. 

Fine now, I've had lots of fun with the mini's this week and I'm off to visit my best friend this weekend I haven't tried sleeping over before but the OCD is really good at the moment and I do trust her so I think it'll be OK. The only slightly wibbly issue is meds cos I don't want to take the zombieing anti-psychotics with other people around (I never do) I am going to take a reduced dose though so I'll not be without but I won't be so far outside of my own control either. 

How are all of you? By eck hope you and the small ones are feeling better. Frodo I've been thinking of you. What's happening with your knee Bear?

Ha ha I often end up frantically homeworking just before too.

I'm supposed to have written down all the stages of my OCD washing up ritual for the CPN by Friday, I've had three weeks to do it ... is it done? 

Sorry your friend has accidentally added to your anxiety. I hate being late too. It must be really hard when it's not entirely within your control. Don't worry though, even if you were a few minutes late Alice would understand that too. 

'lo peeps

Just back from the CMHT psych - had my meds put up which is good as I think they're helping, plus they suggested an interesting scheme to help that involved voluntary projects etc. Sounds good

Bear that all sounds really, really positive. I'm so pleased you've been able to come up with a plan with the psych ... they seem to be doing all they can to help
