Hey @Appleblossom I'm seeeing through the disrespect of the lies people have been told and the damage they've done and have spread into the world. I still get caught up in the lies I've been told and the damage it's done... and I'm also still getting caught up in the lies other people have been told and the damage it's done to them and been spreading... but at least I'm aware of the problem I'm faced with each day, and can teach myself to deal with it appropriately...

It's hurtful, it's damaging, and it's very disrespectful... but at least I'm seeing it for what it is... instead of lies upon lies... hurt upon hurt... and disrespect upon disrespect... and can endeavour to work toward the truth everyday... very MUCH so... besides myself and out of my mind about the revelation and epiphany of this terrible ordeal coming to the forefront of my every moment... of every day...

How are you going???

[eudemonism]

@BryanaCamp hi... am in the middle of a sinus infection at the moment... and it will possible lead to chest infection or stomach bug... but all is well apart from this...

[Shaz51]

ohhhh @eudemonism , hope you feel btter soon , I get sinus a lot and when the weather changes too

Hello @Bill16 , @BryanaCamp , @greenpea , @The-red-centaur 

[BryanaCamp]

hi @Bill16 that's such a shame you missed your appointment. I often get my times or days mixed up, it's frustrating. I hope you will feel ok until your next appoitnment. Yes, it's a bit hard when you reach maximum dose with meds, I think "i need more, is that all?" I hope you're travelling ok today, what are you up to tonight?

hi @eudemonism I'm very gald to hear that you're ok apart from the sinus situation. It's not good to have sinus issues but good that you are generally well within yourself - how did you manage that? Have you been mediating or something? I try to spend time with friends regularly but it can do my head in, one friend is taking a "mental health day" today which in general culture means a stress day but to you & me and everyone with a serious mental health condition it means hell...so I feel insulted and resentful about that but also dont' know how to tackle the situation if at all as most people don't like confrontation. I hope you have some social plans on the horizon, I know socialising is hard as it is for me but it also has it's upside. Take good care of yourself, maybe if you go to the dr you can prevent it from spreading to your lungs which would be very serious & best avoided. Keep warm.

Hello @BryanaCamp  I feel the same about maximum dosage , is this it ? Am I going to be like this for the rest of my life? Having a quiet one tonight

[BryanaCamp]

have a good, quiet night @Bill16 . I sometimes try to raise my well-being with strenuous hikes for the "promised-land" of endorhpines. I don't seem to get the endorphines but I do feel better after doing a hike because at least I've done a hike & no-one can take that away from me and sometimes I see wildlife and they are mighty cute company - the one upside of being mentally unwell and unemployed is that I can go to national parks on a weekday and be the only one there. 

Are you a car enthusiast? I see you've got the name boot (I guess that's car boot?) and the photo of a car. Do you have a car? I have a 2002 vehicle which I'm glad is still running, it can get me to hikes. Grateful to the service guys who keep it running ok.

[Bill16]

Yep I'm definately a car guy ,I'm not working at the moment so I'm on disability wich I'm pretty thankful for,I'm driving a one owner el Fairmont with a 130k's on the clock at the moment 

[Appleblossom]

@eudemonism I am alright.  A little thoughtful atm. A bit triggered about my brother.  You might know the kind of thing ... i think you have grief about yours ...

so going for quiet ...under the radar ...

Going off to do a hamcheese omelette & salad for din

Hearing you about lies.

It is always hard to deal with injustice like that, but if we are naive, we keep getting hurt, so we have to see it as it is.
