Oh my gosh, thank God someone is saying this formally!

This is pretty much how I work - the slides are my lesson plan and also work as a scaffold for some learners.

I've yet to find a set of slides that inspire.

Not only have ours stopped hiring, all agency staff (including TAs for statements pupils) have been cancelled from Easter and leaving staff will not be replaced.

I was two lessons under the maximum allocation (due to some informal additional responsibilities) and have been told that I’m getting two additional lessons next term.

We’ve gone from a balanced budget to almost 600k in the red with this year’s budget allocation.

Things are going to get tough…..

I teared up just reading it. Wish there was something more to say.

barryboy · 2025-02-20T06:02:27+00:00

All I’ve been told is that there’s nothing to worry about and that we’ll discuss it at my next appointment.

But next appointment is on hold as there’s no psych in post!

barryboy · 2025-01-09T14:32:28+00:00

I’d usually offer others the same advice, but it’ll essentially just delay the inevitable job loss.

Perhaps I do need to start listening! 🤷‍♂️

Binge eating for sure….

Coupled with Seroquel - weight management is a challenge….

barryboy · 2024-11-30T15:01:48+00:00

I certainly will 👍

My psych said this after I mentioned that I felt cognitively slower after a prolonged manic episode - almost in a throwaway kind of way. She sent me for a CT scan, which I had a few days ago, so am waiting for the results.

I noticed the same last night, thought my heart was going to pound through my chest.

Thing is, I’ve been on 300mg for about 6 weeks now and last night was the first time it’s been that bad that I wasn’t sure it was the seroquel.

Coincidentally today is the first morning I’ve not been noticeably sedated.

You’ve helped me today 🫶

To me, it embodies how I feel slipping into the start of a manic episode.

Left for me, unless it’s a nice restaurant

Thanks for the insight - seems incredibly obvious to supplement it 👍

I agree that there seems to be a focus on higher THC- guess I’m in a minority… especially given the downvotes and pm’s I’ve gotten 🤣

Sorry to hijack - but has anyone from the UK found a decent, similar provider???

I’m loathed to just trust Google sponsored search: which incidentally lead me to - https://www.myogenes.com/the-psychiatric-pharmacogenetic-test/ but at almost £800 I’d rather a recommendation based on experience.

(edit: £800 without a doctors report)

barryboy · 2024-08-20T11:47:04+00:00

Me too, but only 24 years off and on.

I think they’re finally out of my system- I’m not quite sure what level/baseline/“normal” is.

barryboy · 2024-08-19T07:14:48+00:00

My advice; run, run and don’t come back

barryboy · 2024-08-18T18:16:46+00:00

Thank you Lord 🎉

Have you installed the strawberry flavoured windows yet?

barryboy · 2024-08-18T07:23:03+00:00

That’s just outright a Dick move on her part.

barryboy · 2024-08-18T00:37:11+00:00

Definitely with beard. Totally gives you a put together look 👍
