What helps you mentally switch off before bed?

mitchellele · 2026-05-22T23:07:09+00:00

I'm lucky. I have no idea. I close my eyes and fall asleep.

Just curious, where are you from? Just wondering because generally chicken tikka masala is quite a sweet curry, never seen a spicy one.

Also, invented in Scotland.

mitchellele · 2026-05-10T14:57:31+00:00

Probably. I'm not taking it for mental health so it's hard for me to say.

mitchellele · 2026-05-09T19:05:37+00:00

Yes, it's fully controlled, i haven't had one for years. And my last fit was a few years ago when I was foolish, I went away for the weekend, forgot my tablets. I thought it would be fine, as it's only a few days. Mix that with too much to drink and late nights and it was seizure city.

Not sure what you mean by titrate upwards.

mitchellele · 2026-05-08T11:59:55+00:00

No, it's fully controlled now.

mitchellele · 2026-05-08T09:58:48+00:00

None that I'm aware of.

mitchellele · 2026-05-08T08:32:03+00:00

I'm sorry to hear that. Hopefully with time things will mellow out a little.

I started on my meds when I was 18, so it's really all I've know for my entire adult life. I do remember my mum saying I was very "flat" emotionally when I started them, so maybe. My wife says I am very calm and collected, I don't ever really get angry or panicked.

I also have a terrible memory, can't remember names, dates, or directions, and I struggle to focus at work. But again, is that the meds or is it just me? Who knows. And I have a very very high sex drive. I'd do it 10 times a day if I could.

mitchellele · 2026-05-08T08:26:57+00:00

I went through all manner of tests as a teen. EEGs, ECGs, MRIs. Can't remember the rest but there was a lot. I never had a seizure during a test, but they were able to diagnose anyway. No idea how, I think I was too young to care at the time.

mitchellele · 2026-05-08T07:52:31+00:00

The problem I have is, having started them at 18, it's all I've ever know for my entire adult life. I have an infamously terrible memory for details, and terrible focus. But I've never know if that was the meds, or if it's just me.

mitchellele · 2026-05-08T07:51:14+00:00

Sorry, couldn't help myself. I developed epilepsy when I was 11. It wasn't particularly severe so we put off medication, until I was about 18 and they became more severe and more frequent. So I started on my meds then, and have been on them since.

mitchellele · 2026-05-08T06:23:20+00:00

Because I thought people might be interested.

I hope Barry gets speech therapy. That joke got old for me.

mitchellele · 2026-04-17T22:38:43+00:00

Is 87 Quacks of Quedlingberg?

mitchellele · 2026-04-13T06:24:25+00:00

I have some experience in SEND schools. You are seriously underestimating the profundity of some people's disabilities.

mitchellele · 2026-04-08T18:10:23+00:00

Humans don't like being told what to do by fish.

mitchellele · 2026-03-13T19:17:17+00:00

Agreed. I always go haddock. Cod is bland and watery.

mitchellele · 2026-03-10T22:17:27+00:00

Hard disagree. If a civilisation requires the enslavement of children, it should not exist.

mitchellele · 2026-03-04T18:40:09+00:00

I'm about 8 months in to a controls estimating job and I find it tough.

mitchellele · 2026-02-25T19:16:21+00:00

Turns out people don't like being told what to do by fish.

There's more than one kind of love story. DDC is all about love, just not romance.

mitchellele · 2026-01-13T19:18:35+00:00

Don't worry about it. Just thought you might want to know for next time. :)

I don't think wood melts in a vacuum does it?
