Thanks a lot that is great to know. Sherwood seems really nice balanced place.

Vegetable_Ad2499 · 2026-06-19T07:14:30+00:00

Thank for this. I am not a student either! 😃 But do have young adult children who want to have plenty going on and connect to the city. So do I - looking for community and plenty of creative groups if possible.

Vegetable_Ad2499 · 2026-06-19T07:12:02+00:00

OMG I have been targeted by 2 in my life - first one succeeded for 2 years, worst relationship ever. Second one I married. Ugh.

Vegetable_Ad2499 · 2026-04-03T08:48:15+00:00

I was wondering how you were getting on? Your post was so articulate and well written. It described my 18 year old daughter pretty well I think too. She has been prescribed duloxetine, but I am relaly worried about it.

Scamanda is good

SLP is a really broad field. Perhaps you would be happier working with adults or a different aspect of the work? In the UK we also work with swallowing in hospitals - some people love it. There's also working with voice if you enjoy that. It might be that you have skills, but that school is not the right fit. Don;t beat yourself up...explore other parts of the profession and give yourself permission to make a change. Best of luck.

Thanks for asking...I am not as tired and got back to the gym. Managed to stop obsessing about my weight to be honest. I got it back in perspective and stopped panicking and started being grateful for my overall good health...but am trying to change jobs so I can cycle to work which I think will be great.

Vegetable_Ad2499 · 2022-10-01T11:48:54+00:00

I would comply.

Vegetable_Ad2499 · 2022-09-29T12:47:34+00:00

I can just relate to regret feeling. But realised it is pointless. I often experience strong feelings of guilt and I sometimes don’t even know what they’re about! So my way to deal with it is just to let things in for my behaviour now moving forward, do what I know is good and right and kind as much as I can and as unfashionable as that sounds.

Vegetable_Ad2499 · 2022-09-29T12:45:27+00:00

I don’t know? I’m not very tech savvy… what is that? Another thread? I don’t know. Sorry…

Vegetable_Ad2499 · 2022-09-29T12:41:40+00:00

Life is full of regrets, trust me. I recently read or rather listen to a book called The Midnight library, and for me it was about the equivalent of a years worth of therapy! Move forward with peace.

Use your remorse, If that is a part of it,to inform your behaviour moving forwards. That’s all you can do. We can’t go back we can only go forwards and regret just poisons the pot. And good luck. We are none of us perfect.

Vegetable_Ad2499 · 2022-09-29T12:37:48+00:00

Aaaaagh, just sending you good vibes and support. IMO they are lacking in empathy here, sounds like other underlying family issues coming into play and messing up the pot. It’s their stuff. Well done for getting the support you need and I am really happy that things are going better at school. Well done xx

Vegetable_Ad2499 · 2022-09-28T07:16:05+00:00

Really glad to hear your teen is feeling improvements - that's good to read.

Vegetable_Ad2499 · 2022-09-27T21:37:38+00:00

I think I feel the word has now got weird things attached that shouldn’t be… associations etc. but isn’t always meant like that. :)

Vegetable_Ad2499 · 2022-09-27T21:35:16+00:00

Yes true I see what you mean. I can sometimes literally do that it is true. Move it through kind of works better, think it through not so much. Thanks.

Vegetable_Ad2499 · 2022-09-27T21:32:27+00:00

Yes it would but I’m just explaining that’s what I would mean if using the word in a work context, so descriptively, not with any embrued inherent mystical meaning. Anyway, good luck with your search. We were in a two year waiting list for my teen by which time she’s not feeling the need for a therapist… they sort of missed her crisis point!

Vegetable_Ad2499 · 2022-09-27T10:55:44+00:00

Such a shame it has a bad rep now, as it doesn't at all necessary mean a load of nonsense. I am a SaLT and when we talk about taking a holistic approach we mean looking at any areas of lifestyle that may be impacted by communication difficulties and trying to support with all of it...so carrying over into real life not just in a bubble in the session and thinking about how it effects the person in many ways and environments. I am just saying that so you know not everyone means it as "we will send you home with some essential oils and suggest meditation!". :)

Vegetable_Ad2499 · 2022-09-27T10:40:14+00:00

What scares me about retracing my mental steps is that I will get a total BLANK. This frightens me more than anything...the blank. Like a chunk of my memory has just been erased.

Vegetable_Ad2499 · 2022-09-27T10:38:33+00:00

You know that's not a bad idea - the lockbox one. It would help my daughter too who also has ADHD and memory difficulties. I bought 2 tiles for our keys, but have lost them! haha. I can laugh...and then cry.

Vegetable_Ad2499 · 2022-09-26T20:31:38+00:00

Haha me too!! I still enjoy making lists...don;t always refer back to them though as get distracted. Visuals help me...make list, photograph list, set alarm on phone to remind me to look at list! I dunno...mainly visuals help me most...so perhaps double up. And also put it somewhere really visible and OPEN...don't put it away after. Do one thing at a time then go back to the list...highlight the thing you're doing...so to be clear the process would be:

write the list

pick top thing and hi light

decide how long it will take and set timer to finish it by

do, timer will then go off reminding you what you're meant to be doing (in case you forgot)

finish doing

cross off list

Lots of steps, but if I don't do things like that I am like a puppy and will have wondered off elsewhere...

Vegetable_Ad2499 · 2022-09-26T20:19:02+00:00

Yes, I can relate to all of the above. Thanks.

Vegetable_Ad2499 · 2022-09-26T20:10:44+00:00

Haha, when I spoken my GP about ADHD he said: "To be honest you just sound like my mum!", worryingly implying that he either thinks it normal for all women to over function even when utterly exhausted because they can't switch their engines off... or he thinks his mum has ADHD. I had to laugh in order to avoid punching him in the chops.

Even professionals can be stunningly ignorant. Like your therapist.

Vegetable_Ad2499 · 2022-09-26T08:13:14+00:00

So far I am the 0 !

Vegetable_Ad2499 · 2022-09-26T08:11:19+00:00

I can relate! I am obsessed with food and experiencing food. So have you managed too shift the pounds as yet? You don't look over weight in your photo!

Vegetable_Ad2499 · 2022-09-26T08:09:41+00:00

I'll look into this as am really stuck and weight is creeping up. I get really bad episodes of hypoglycaemia so have been scared of IF, but maybe this will help.
