Thank you. I see your logic but it’s hard to take in at the moment. I’m not a hugger, but virtual hugs I’m ok with :)

I’m probably a bit late, seeing as it’s Sunday evening where I am. But thought I’d give an update. The psychiatrist here at the hospital is leaning towards a diagnosis of Bipolar. Part of me has thought it way at the back of my mind, and I know other doctors have tossed it around for the last 17 years. So now I’m just…

Could actually describe many people now that I think of it!

There are some worthy birds here, but I note you have left out the legendary Bin Chicken?

Thank you. It really makes a difference at the moment having a connection right now. I can update that a different nurse got me a real coffee today, the OT gave me oil pastels, paper, and a facemask, and an acquaintance I have in the hospital has given me a secret wifi access code. Things are brighter today. : )

Update: things were bad, but things are now worse. I was moved to a different hospital because the first one was closed down for deep cleaning. But the hospital I’ve been transferred to is not a mental health facility. It’s an old, dirty, previously decomissioned ward suddenly repurposed for isolation. It is not…

Well it’s Sunday morning for me. I have been in hospital since Monday for mental health reasons and in isolation since Tuesday because I have cold symptoms. I said all this yesterday or the day before, I don’t know, but still the days are turning into a blur of nothing for days on end. It could be the valium, it could…

I already posted, but wanted to say I hope you people in the US start getting better supplies of testing kits, PPE etc. Where I live, they’re asking anyone who has any of the symptoms to go and get tested (mostly at their GP/PCP in respiratory clinics in the carparks of the clinics, but also at hospitals) for free. As…

Also taking out the batteries if it’s driving you nuts. For us, loud toys live at the grandparents’ houses (since they bought them anyway).

I thought we were going pretty well too, until about a month ago. I had a baby in late January, a kid starting grade 2 and a husband taking a year off work. Then about 4 weeks ago my anxiety started coming back, then the schools closed, then home schooling started (neither of us are teachers are anything close to…

Oh no, this must mean it’s a pandemic! ; )

How big do people think germs are? Like a marble?

Ok, so it may sound fantastic and that we are doing an amazing job here under the guidance of Scotty from Marketing, but it’s not as great as it seems. And it’s definitely not SfM’s idea. He has been dragged kicking and screaming to respond appropriately to basically any emergency we have had during his time as PM…

I don’t even know where to start with this. Most people don’t have a good understanding of the way germs are spread in the first place. Even some healthcare professionals don’t understand the correct order to take off proper PPE. I keep seeing people going out and wearing a range of ‘masks’ (just at my local…

The colour of that outfit she’s trying to get into is the same colour as the bile I kept throwing up when I had a terrible migraine last year. The exact same.

She is incorrect, clearly. Now is a time to see just how long it takes for you to spend 24/7 with your family in your own home until you literally go mad. My quarantine started this weekend, with my husband, 6 year old and 8 week old. I spent around 4 hours doing crafts today, which I would normally enjoy, except for…

more kilts pls. it could make isolation slightly more bearable.

i saw the preview on tv last night and also thought it was perfect for quarantine, then got disappointed. but we’ll probably still be in quarantine then anyway. 

delightfully. i picture him singing with his eyes closed every time i her that song.

This is not huge or life changing. However, I have had severe anxiety lately with a resurgence of panic attacks which I haven’t had for years.  I don’t really know my neighbours, except the elderly woman next door. Over the last few weeks I have been going to supermarkets daily in the hopes that I’ll be able to get…
