I'm Still Here...

Still here. I've been using Facebook quite a bit lately, both as a means of expression and keeping in touch with my nieces. Posted some silly things too, like photographs of my dinners. It's surprising how many comments you get, weird. Needless to say posted pics of Max too, and a couple of landscapes. Starting to feel a bit better. GP changed my meds from Sertraline 50mg to Ctalopram 20mg. Plus, good news, counselling on Mondays, yeah, about time. Last few days Guy has broke the ice a bit too which has helped, and Leanne and I have been swapping music 'likes' which has been fun, and a tad expensive. Still spending way too much time doing nothing. To be a bit fair, the weather has been really shit, grey, dark, and damp. There is still loads I could be doing in doors mind - but I don't. I think the state of my mind is reflected in the state of my room - or is it vice versa? I think they support each other. Let's face it, a glance to the left or right and my desk is a piled up mess. I think the hard bit, both mentally and physically is "where to start?" Let's have a picture...

Ok - time to find something to eat...

Mush and Waffle

There were several things I wanted to write about today but it all seems to be garbled in my head. Somewhat painful and frustrating. Saw GP last Thursday. Signed off for another two weeks. It would be a good time to go Up North if my truck was road worthy. Rang Mum and Dad and suggested he pick us up "We'll think it through and ring you back." A week later... Nowt. Braved Morrisons yesterday afternoon. Not too bad. Couldn't find the tea/coffee though. Searched up and down several times and still couldn't locate them. Thought about asking a boy but it was just a thought, after all, you can't hide the tea isle can you, surely? One more look and still no joy. Left with a bit of a chuckle "Morrisons looses Tea Isle in reshuffle" Got some tea and coffee from the Co-Op this afternoon. Max has finally submitted to the fact that I Will Brush Him. Still spending most of my time in bed, hiding. Radio 4 twittering quietly in the background. Won £5.40 on the Lottery yesterday. I'm not knocking it, after all it paid for today's ticket. Bought a book for Terry yesterday. "The Horologicon SIGNED by Mark Forsyth 1st Edition", Ebay to the rescue once again. A sale inspired by Hugh Dennis reading excerpts on Radio 4. I have had a few bouts of feeling bored in the last couple of days, therefore am I getting better? According to "Stats" my blog has had 5 views today. Who? Why? Really?

Double up

I finally got to speak to a GP yesterday who then suggested I come in and see a GP "Maybe think about upping your dose..." The only appointment I could get was next Thursday "She only works one day a week." I've since taken it upon myself to double up on my medication. I'm currently prescribed 50mg Sertaline. For what difference it's made it may as well be a placebo. How do we know it isn't?
