Had dinner out for my birthday, pizza because BBF could get a gluten free option easily. Before that though I played two games, both very gamey which leaves me a little worried for tomorrow. So this morning The Pirate and I were in the same game which was really nice. He hasn’t played Space 1889 … Read More
I was completely convinced this morning that we were going to be late and was more unreasonably stressed at The Jellicle Cat who was unbelievably patient.l considering I made her get up at half two in the morning and she’s not a morning girl at the best of times. We weren’t late and I got … Read More
It’s the utter waves like water of The Swamp that I hate. Woke up this morning with more apologies than a Canadian and figured that that really was going to be it for today. I’m just incredibly sad with no reason why. Trying to explain what I do for work is miserable, there’s always been … Read More

I called in sick to work this morning, at least partly because of the weird (wyrd?) episode I had on Tuesday. Immediately I did so I felt guilty, pulling a sicky when you work one to one with disabled people is absolutely not on. Then I couldn’t get out of bed. Not in a Depression … Read More
I think that I’m naturally quite a cheerful and confident person. I suspect that seems ridiculous to assert but I really do see my Depression, complete with its suicide ideation, as being separate to my self. The way I’ve always dealt with it, from my teens until present day, is by seeing it as a … Read More
(Content Warning – Mental health healing is messy, I suffered a mental break last year and this entry is basically stream of consciousness thoughts from therapy. Mentions CPTSD, ASD, ADHD and all that good stuff) If you want me to apologise verbally then often I need to know because a lot of times when I’ve … Read More
No nicknames used here, first names only. I’m maudlin at the drop of a hat at the best of times but the other week when I had the bad reaction to the Lisdexamfetamine I genuinely wondered if I was about to drop dead that second with nary a real warning or indication it was going … Read More
