‘My social worker understood’: the difference social care made to one man’s mental health

I have a new cat

Well that's a bit of a lie I have a new cat 'holly' and she came with three kittens I think they are all female so I've named them Lister, Kryten, Rimmer.

The original plan was to re home the kittens but I am becoming attached and I hear stroking cats is good for you so having five well hell yeah!

Plus they are very cute

Karen hasn't spoken to me since we had out spat oh well it's playing on my mind but hopefully that will go I miss the boys the most. I feel betrayed !

I need to start back writing here regularly I really didn't realise how long it had been until I agreed to write a piece for mind and they asked to see it and I looked and saw the last post !

I may have to start taking my chlorpromazine as I have fallen into a bad sleeping pattern

Ok enough for now

I just can't get into Xmas or dating it seems

Hi guys,

Well it's my birthday on Saturday and I just can't get into the spirit of it. I don't know if it's because I'm so busy with work which is a good thing ( it really is ) or I'm just not in the mood, probably the latter as I can't get fired up for Xmas although I am going away this year....

Yay!

I fly on boxing day and I'm due back on the 2nd I'm off out to Spain and I am so looking forward to it.

Well what's new with me?

I have been really struggling with my weight to the point where I lost over 2 stone and now I'm back where I started I was really struggling with binging on junk food it got so bad I sat down to eat two large bags of giant chocolate buttons a large bag of revels And three bags of sweets after a trip to McDonald's where I had consumed a large big mac meal a hamburger and a cheeseburger.

I think the only thing that's stopped me from keeling over is I have been swimming at least 4 times a week

I wish I knew why I have been binging, I don't and I have stopped cold turkey like I did with the smoking and caffeine but that hasn't answered my question?

What's new on the mentalist front well? I'm still mental it's getting so I'm getting better at managing it I know I have to eat well and sleep better and exercise and I'm getting bits of it right with baby steps.

Every baby step I make is a step in the right direction.

What I really need right now is some company I've tied a couple of dating sites and it's all slightly hit and miss and when do you admit to being a mentalist really!

Anyway I'm going to sleep soon which isa miracle this side of midnight 21:46 goodnight

Getting things done

Worrying about how everything will get done or whether I am capable of doing it limits my ability to respond to challenges considerably. The less I think about doing something and the faster I just get on with it, the fewer problems I cause myself. Good planning is always helpful, but time spent fretting and procrastinating is a major drain on my energy. The more willing I am to respond positively to opportunities, the more my capacity will grow.

Why do I let it / her get to me

So, she used me spat me onto the pile like a disused rag and I wasn't even used in a good way.

Today I saw her I got completely and utterly ignored and well know I have deleted her from my phone and blocked her from the messenger we used to use!

Enough is enough.  I helped her in her time of need and what do I get pfft

sorry peeps rant over

Anger

Never give way to anger - otherwise in one moment you could burn up the joy that you collected over a long period.
