I always do things ass about

[velvetfaerie]

My first introduction thread after being here FOREVER..... because I always do things backwards...

Velvz. Bipolar.... type? Not sure. I walked out of the psychiatrists office the day he tried putting me on more meds. That was a decade ago.

Anxiety issues. OCD issues. Occasional SH concerns. Checkered history of substance abuse.

I manage for the most part by exercising, good healthy food and good sleep practices. Substances these days are 3 drinks maximum and I'm rat assed.

I work full time. Study part time. Bought my own house years ago. On my own. Ok the bank helped lol!!! Most days for me are 10-14 hours depending. That's work and study and house things and exercise.

At the moment I'm struggling because I believe I've burnt myself out and pushed myself into hypomania. I'm all over the shop. Been here before but no psychosis stuff. Woo.

Oh man I don't know what else to say. No kids. Love kids. But conscious decision not to have my own. Love men. But sadly I'm intolerant to relationships after a while. Moody 😁😁

Animals and music are my passions.

Yeh so..... **** awkward silence***

velvz.

Yeh we get along rather well. On same page regarding his situation with the ex. Enlightening because my gut instincts were on point. Ex isn’t very nice. Very much a self absorbed spoilt brat. Mother hobbit is not a fan 😆

No sleep again. Crook tummy. Yukky!!! Wish I could phone in sick but can’t because meetings re my holidays again. Might leave after meeting.

Can’t keep going like this.

You need a break.

How did the meeting go?

[velvetfaerie]

I get a colleague to train. She’s a nice girl.

My boss said I can have from Easter off for two weeks so long as I’m back before school holidays start... because she wants leave.

i shrugged my shoulders at her and said “that’s not my problem. I asked for leave in November.”

no really I don’t care. She’s been there 5 minutes... I’ve been there a decade AND worked my butt off for the last almost 4 years in the new role and study.

Another person there who knows me well said “you’re well overdue for a break.”

Yes. So until I get said break ... there will be a few mental health days.

[CMF]

Sounds like a plan, taking a few MH days. maybe they will get the picture?

Good on you for standing you ground.

How is everything else going?

[velvetfaerie]

Just tired is all.

and a funeral next week.

[CMF]

Tired, how could you not be tired with the crap you've had to put up with.i feel tired for you just reading about it.

Funeral 😔 Sorry to hear that. Is it someone close? I have a sad feeling it is.

i wonder what Dory would say about it all. Just been thinking about her and Stressless. I miss them, we had good times. I'm grateful I still have you here too.

Just keep swimming 🐟

[velvetfaerie]

My very close friends dad. We’ve been mates since highschool.

Ah I miss dory and SL too .... they were cool cats.

yeh just tired.... just swimming along ....

[velvetfaerie]

I need a decades sleep and all idiots and self servers to stay away from me.

And lots of junk food LOL. 😄

[CMF]

I'll join you. When you finish training someone can you take a break.

[velvetfaerie]

Hehehe cool.

Yeh that’s the plan.

Up until then I’ll be taking some long weekends. Looks like some road trips with man thing are being planned.
