How are you feeling today?

[Zaf]

Most of the village probably thinks I'm not entirely normal, not sure if I want to confirm their opinions

[Lol]

Alstare I'm glad your move went well. Your friends sound really lovely and I hope this has given you the opportunity to see them again soon. Bless your mum.

Well done that was a massive step that wasn't easy  :)

Hey Zaf I think its fab that your in a happy frame of mind today and you know what scream it from the roof tops who cares who your neighbors think you only live once, I take it you live in the countryside as you seem to be very at one with nature maybe we could see some of the watercolours that you do, what kind of art are you in to?

I feel like the rollercoaster has stopped today which is good so I am having a relaxing afternoon and then I am going to spend a couple of hours in the library just going through all the lovely art books and hopefully inspiration will strike and I will find love for a new artist.

Hi depina, I hope you had a lovely time with your grandchildren and im glad your happy
smirfy :)

Thank you Smirfy I had a great time XX
Glad you are feeling better too.

[Zaf]

Yes I live in the countryside smirfy and I do feel very close to nature :)

I used to do a lot of pencil sketching and some oils and pastels but never thought they were any good so most got binned during depressive episodes, I find watercolours a huge challenge so decided it was time (again!) to try to master them,  I mostly attempt scenery or images from nature but perhaps if I really keep practicing this time I might venture out of my comfort zone but I'm dreadfully self critical so dont often things are good enough to show people 

Its great to hear you are feeling better in the last few days, long may it last xx



Hi Di, great to hear you jad a good time with your grandchildren :)

Hi Di, great to hear you jad a good time with your grandchildren :)

paint by numbers and you cant go wrong haha




just feel rather strange today, 300mg of Quetiapine was really not a nice experience, im just glad that im not going any higher for at least a few weeks.
dreading the possible 800mg 

[Zaf]

Thats possible :)  my trouble with watercolours is being too impatient to wait for one bit to dry before I go on with the next bit 

Hope things improve for you soon cornish xx

[Depina]

Thanks Zaf
The grandchildren make me realise how lucky I am !!
Glad you are feeling better
Keep it up

Love Di XXXX

[Lol]

Hi Cornish, nice to hear from you. How did the quetiapine make you feel? Is it any better now? Have you worked this weekend? How are you doing?

[cornish]

im feeling a dam sight worse but physically a tiny bit better due to actually getting some sleep
i really wanted to work but the meds basically knocked me out cold and i wasn't able to

[Lol]

Oh dear I'm sorry to hear that. It must have been beneficial to your body to have had so much sleep! We do SO much healing whilst we are sleeping, may be this will be a good contributing step in your recovery? I'm sorry you feel mentally worse.
