A long rave

Yes and hugs @eth 

My SIL is very negative and says things all the time that you can and would take the wrong way 

Hello @Mazarita , @Exoplanet , @outlander , @Molliex 

[eth]

Sometimes close relationships are so tricky aren't they @Shaz51 .  I'm doing my best to move forward today - lost the last week in dealing with my brothers' outburst.  Can't let it knock me into depression like it did for a few days there.  If I want to continue here I simply have to make more of an effort in a visible way.  But I can also see the advantages of eventually moving to a place by myself.

Hope you're taking good care of yourself along with everyone else dear one.  Nice to hear you've been able to rest today.  Lots of love xoxo

Hi @greenpea  hope you're enjoying his birthday celebrations xx

[Shaz51]

They are tricky sometimes  @eth 

And because of  Mr shaz  bipolar 2 it makes it harder as he takes our customers  saying to hearth too 

And it was hard on Thursday  at the doctors  as Mr shaz saw bi polar 1 on the script and also he has to get a new script for  his anti depressants every month now 

[eth]

So much for you to manage @Shaz51   He must've got a bit of a shock seeing bp1 instead of bp2.  I recently saw schizophrenia on one of my scripts.  Had to wait to ask my psychiatrist about it.  She said I don't have it, I have bp1 which I knew, but that's what the particular med is often used for.  But until I could speak to her all sorts of things went through my head.  Mainly why no Dr had ever told me.  I was so relieved when I found out the explanation.

hugs my @eth 

yes mr shaz says how do they know i don't have schizophrenia, ---- even though he is on meds for it 

he has had soooo many diagnosis over the years 

[eth]

Me too @Shaz51   It's not that any is especially worse than another,  just that you learn about and learn to manage in terms of what they label you once it seems correct.  Does that make sense?  

[Shaz51]

Does make sense @eth 

Mr shaz want to take them all the time now, before he used to stop an start which was not good but now he is worried about the  weight he is putting  on 

[eth]

It's good that he's staying consistent about taking them imo @Shaz51   That's the only way the Dr can really see if they're right for him or not.   Mine make me gain weight too, so I have to be pretty disciplined about not eating too much.  Sweet treats are my weakness.  But also doing regular exercise (hard for me but Mr Shaz probably gets his with the type of work you do) helps a lot.  Managing to stay around the same weight since covid started mid-march feels like an achievement.  There's a med they can put you on that changes insulin response and helps not gain so steadily (well it has for me).

[Shaz51]

Yes @eth 

Staying around the same weight is good

We are doing that too
