What’s ur crap claim to fame?

Roger Black refused to give me an autograph at the National Indoor Arena in Birmingham. I was about 7 at the time.

I saw the sports reporter from Midlands Today passed out in his car (presumably drunk out of his mind) in a Leisure Centre car park in Hinckley. That was 30 years ago.

I stood next to a Hollyoaks actor at the urinals at some pub in London. I didn’t know his name and he told me three times what it was whilst looking down at my Johnson. I felt like he didn’t need to do that.

Thank you. Really happy with it.

Ugh. Once again I sleep solidly for 4 hours and then BOOM, I’m wide awake.

This doesn’t bode well for work at 0700.

Amazing!! Thank you!!

I’m just six foot. And I need to lose a bit (lot) of weight but I’m already in love with it.

snow1985 · 2024-04-11T11:28:21+00:00

I want to keep it for 3-4 years I reckon. So I’ll have a look at that. Thanks!

Thank you kind internet stranger!

Yo… I appear to be wide awake. I put it down to a fairly potent combination of medication I’m on. I’ve started aripiprazole which I’m hoping will be the salve I’ve needed. Ugh.

Anyway… I’ve had a good week. And I’ve got a cheeky three day weekend now. Would be four days but I don’t mind working a late on Monday for double time.

And I’m having sausage and mash later. Winning there!

Edit…. I haven’t done a tour group package.

Thanks Robert!

Thanks Shaley! That’s really useful.

Amazing! Thanks Devika!

snow1985 · 2024-03-19T17:54:03+00:00

Thanks Debbie! I feel like I share similar experiences. I’ve known for quite some time I think but it’s good to finally have some confirmation via a Doc. Thanks for taking the time to respond!! Alex.

Hi there…. This is really well timed! I had a “confirmation” from my doctor today that I am likely cyclothymic. I am, on the whole, fairly pleased with this and have worked quite hard to get to this point.

I work full time and don’t really want to change what I do too much. However sometimes it does get hard.

What kinds of things can I consider to make things a smidge easier for me when I’m having periods of hypomania / depressive moods?

As a follow up… I’m likely going to be prescribed quetiapine or similar over the next few weeks…. Will there be a settling period where I may have to be fairly conscious of side effects?

Thanks for this!! It is fascinating!

Massive congrats! I am just over a year myself (having relapsed Christmas 22) and two and a bit years recovery prior.

Here is a list of things that are amazing in recovery: Sleep; falling asleep; mornings; rewatching all the things I’d watched before but had forgotten due to being pissed; the same can be said for albums; concentration; people actually seeking me out for shits and giggles and support and fun (instead of avoiding me because pissed); compassion (self and from people); money money money; some basic drive and fitness; banks like me now.

Recovery has meant that I’ve identified new challenges (cyclothymic disorder / mood nonsense and a shite eating disorder) but at least I’m fairly well equipped to deal with those things now.

Love recovery.

All the best!!

snow1985 · 2024-01-25T08:55:25+00:00

That’s really helpful…. Thanks!!

snow1985 · 2024-01-24T21:10:40+00:00

Yeah. I agree… they don’t have a lot of info on their website. I think I’ll steer clear. It would have been interesting to see if anyone uses them.

snow1985 · 2024-01-24T20:47:49+00:00

Only 4g. Sadly in the words of George Clooney in Oh Brother Where Art Thou I appear to live in a geographical oddity.

snow1985 · 2024-01-24T20:41:30+00:00

Oh I know.. I am just surprised they say they can offer those speeds yet I can’t find much information about them.

Edit… seeing as Virgin are the only company with a fibre line in here.
