I think when you can en the day exhausted but smiling - its a good day!!  :)

I have the doctor in the morning... not really sure how to handle that one  Then I've gotta have a bit of a tidy up because my parents are coming down so they can come to an appointment with me on Wednesday.

What are you really proud of?

[Munchroom]

Can no-one think of anything they are proud of? 

You all should be so proud of yourselves - we're all here fighting an illness that has the ability to kill us and we are waking up every single day and fighting it just by getting out of bed in the morning! Yes - its bloody hard, but we're all still doing it and that is something to really really take pride in! Also, the fact that you are all posting on here - you are opening up and sharing how you are feeling with the rest of us - you are supporting all of us even if you don't feel like it somedays but you are, just knowing we are not alone in this gives us the strength we need to stick two fingers up to this illness and keep fighting it!! 

Not to mention the fact that some of you have children, produce beautiful artwork, are still continuing to go to work through all of this and have got into uni. I know that each of those things are terrifying in their own right - but you have done that!! Please guys- take credit for the things you achieve in life, even if it is tiny because we need all of the stength we can get - and a lot of that strength has to come from within.

Anyway - back to making my bakewell cupcakes! I'll let someone else figure out a question - sorry if it seems like a bit of a rant!

 &*( to all of you xx

Its strange, things I would have been proud of in the past seem insignificant nowdays, I suppose if there is anything it would be that I was verging on alcoholic 18 months ago and have been given the strength not to touch the stuff any more.

Do you loke walking in the woods?

[Munchroom]

 :) I know its the depression, but please remember that the things that you once had pride in are significant. They haven't changed, its just this damned illness and how it makes our mind black out any piece of goodness.

I love walking in the woods - one of my favourite things to do. Especially when it is raining, or has been raining and we can go with our wellies and get all muddy  :)

What is your favourite flavour cupcake?

[Zaf]

I love the woods too, I must find the oomph to get out there and do some walking when I'm not so tired in the afternoons after work.

Well, I'm allergic to wheat and I dont eat eggs so I dont really eat normal cake   but its possible to make very respectable sponge cakes without either, I think the best ones I've ever tasted were ones a friend made with elderflower and rose flavoured icing, sounds weird but tastes fantastic  

Oops forgot the question, do drink out of mugs or cups?

PS how did your appointment go?

[Munchroom]

Oooo it sounds interesting! I've just made some Bakewell ones - I've had a few recently that haven't gone quite to plan, but I fail to see how you can go wrong with a Bakewell cake!! Thats a bummer being allergic to wheat  Guess it makes you pretty inventive though!!

I drink out of mugs.... I do like a nice posh teacup, but judging by my track record of breaking things, its not generally a good idea - I'm like that woman out of Keeping Up Appearances!! Chris actually bought me a plastic mug at Christmas to go in my stocking  I am quite particular when it comes to which mug to use though.... I have my favourites for tea, coffee and herbal tea.... apparently thats a bit 'strange' but drinks taste different out of different mugs!! 

My appointment went ok thankyou - I was in and out within 5 minutes, said he thinks everything is going ok and as I havent got any worse he's gonna keep me on the same meds. He did give me a bit of a look when I said I was still working nights, but I explained that the day shift was just too much at the moment and I am limiting myself to one night a week - he seemed quite happy with that. So just gotta wait to hear from the Mental Health Team now - I think the doctor has given up trying to cure my nightmares  Said perhaps they will have some sort of answer... *shrugs* xx

Do you have 'human' conversations with any of your pets?

[Zaf]

I use spelt flour which is the nearest I can get to wheat without affecting me too much, I quite like experimenting, I've even managed eggless macaroons that tasted like the real thing!

Different drinks definitely taste different in different recepticals :)

Sounds like your doc is fairly pleased, just hope you dont have to wait too long for the mental health team to get in touch, I've no answer to nightmares but I do know cheese is supposed to make people dream more vividly if they eat it in the evening.

Oh most definitely, I chatter away to them all the time :)

[cornish]

i havent got any pets, but ive talked to the bathroom window one night as i was sure there was a witch in the glass.  no idea why

[Munchroom]

Perranuthnoe  Cornish - you should take a drive down there and see it, its such a lovely peaceful place.

[cornish]

[Munchroom]

My sister used to live in Marazion  :) I love it - but its a bit busy for me  

Hmmm... well, coffee is a must
I'm getting a bit naughty with food again.... as in, not really eating much. If I do though its usually something sweet, a waffle or something similar

Do you like taking photographs?

[cornish]

[Zaf]

I go mad taking them from time to time, I do try to remember to take a camera when I go for walks but often forget

[cornish]
