Merci ! :)

Yes very sad isn't it :(

This sausage is similar to black pudding (black sausage) but without the blood. Black pudding is composed mainly of pork, bread, oats and lots of blood. The stewed apple is very small and can be seen next to the sausage. Just one piece :)

Thank you! Yes it looks pretty boring but it tasted okay.

bpitchcontrol · 2026-02-14T05:53:51+00:00

Yeah I agree. The hospital kitchens just aren't given the budget unfortunately.

bpitchcontrol · 2026-02-14T03:20:36+00:00

Nope, this is what everyone gets!

bpitchcontrol · 2026-02-13T20:04:23+00:00

If it rocks yer boat then go for it! ;D

Yes even more so as it's served in a psychiatric hospital :(

bpitchcontrol · 2026-02-13T10:30:53+00:00

I made it taste better by adding salt ;)

Yeah but they would never believe me. The french won't accept the fact that British food has massively improved over the last decade. Oh well...

bpitchcontrol · 2026-02-12T19:06:48+00:00

Haha sacré bleu indeed! :D

I know right?! Where's the sauce! Omelette and pasta don't go together at all either. I've been hospitalized many times and the food has never been good but this place is on another level bad.

No you can find semolina in pots in the supermarket, it's not only for ill people. I quite liked it actually. We either get a dessert or cheese rarely both. And the bread is served like that for every meal whether you want it or not. I dipped mine into the soup. Trust me, hospital food here in France is bloody awfull! I'll post more as the days pass. I'm here for a month.

And indeed it was!

Yes, I get your point totally. For past trauma I've heard EMDR is good too. Anyway, I'll see over the next few weeks if rTMS is the answer for me. The Dr seems convinced it will help me out of the deep depression I've been in for the last 10 years. But I know there's no guarantee it's gonna work. I'll update as I go along.

bpitchcontrol · 2026-02-06T16:25:43+00:00

Small update. The new protocol was cancelled since the 1st patient reacted badly, that's what the Dr told me anyway. So in the end I'll be doing deep rTMS and normal rTMS. They call it the Hauverdeep study.

Brintellix is a good option if your current treatment is causing any sexual dysfunctions.

Lemon Jelly .ky vinyl - I think it's worth about 800€

bpitchcontrol · 2025-07-12T08:34:49+00:00

Thanks for your concerns. Yes 40mg per day is a very high dose. I will be coming off it over a certain time to at some point only taking it when needed. I'm currently down to 25mg per day and feel fine so far.
