Roll Call 18

Thanks Willow!
I just re-downloaded Tapatalk onto my cell. Maybe I can keep up with Roll Call again. This ugly orange version of Tapatalk is free. I see they also have a Tapatalk Pro but it costs money. I wonder if it works better? Do any of you use the Pro version?

Sorry, I don't use tapatalk. My phone isn't capable of the usage. I have an Ipad mini and just use the browser when I'm on it.

I've never used Tapatalk, sorry.

Well I got the idea from the nursery who use the hall that we run the youth club in. They had a display of them. Unfortunately it's time consuming to accumulate all the necessary bottles and then to cut out the shapes, but I enjoyed covering my demo one in tissue paper and drawing my Indian-inspired design onto it. It's quite versatile as little ones can just glue the tissue paper on, while older ones can also draw on top of the tissue paper once it's dry, which is good as we go from 3-11yo. I will eventually get around to finishing my elephant and then I'll upload a pic.

Also I googled "bottle craft" and there's millions of ideas for every bottle type imaginable! I've got ideas for the youth club and also ideas for me, so I need to sort all my stuff out so I can get creating

Anyway it's late and I really have to get to sleep so I'm awake for my appt tomorrow. Hope my brain is better behaved tonight!! Night everyone

Thanks Punky! I have a very busy day tomorrow (why does everything fall on the same day when I'm free all day every other day?! Lol) but I will try to find time to stop by, otherwise definitely Wednesday.

Night!

Does anyone ever get random thoughts that aren't in your own voice? I'm being kept awake by said thoughts right now and it's 4:30 am. Sometimes they are just snippets of conversations, sometimes they are really loud and other times they contradict each other. They aren't voices though, I don't think, but they are in a different voice than my own. This is the first time I've had them since starting antipsychotic medications and it's really irritating me and making me unable to sleep. Sorry if I'm not making any sense, I can't really type on this phone and my concentration is a bit iffy at the moment. Was just wondering if anyone else here has experienced something similar?

I think i get what you are saying twigg. Have you tried directly asking them to be quiet? If that doesn't work, try scheduling a time to work with them?
I am sorry you are struggling.

i use tapatalk pro version.

Been having a lot of melt downs lately and I feel like I have to many chores, but I don't really. I just want a free day with no chores.

I don't use tapatalk, I just use the internet browser since I like desktop view better than mobile

My history from my previous username just came over into Materly. Yeah

Yeah i call it chatter , just random words or phrases. I would encourage the scientist in everyone. That is when someone is feeling psychotic to not make any assumptions or interpretations of what is coming in through senses , just observe them if you like. An expression or voice may seem heightened for example , the mind may immediately see that as a correction or form of control of ones action , because the perception seems beyond normal to the mind. But in the cold light of day what is happening is that a person is having sensory problems. Also voices for example that maybe completely random , may seem directed , simply because we select one phrase , and give it special significance , thus fooling the mind into thinking that all the 'voices' are persecutory. Induced panic may cause other sensory problems. Also actual spoken phrases can fool the mind into thinking that you are hallucinating or conjuring the voices when in fact you could be having auditory processing problems. The brain can not relate anything that is being said, into anything that makes sense , so it picks a word here or a phrase their , and puts together a delusionary belief , simply because the mind is desperately trying to make sense of what is being said.

i was awake between 1 and 4am. i have broken sleep.

Xanax didnt help?

i didnt take my xanax. i have to ration it because i dont have enough so i cant take it everyday

ugh i got an unexpected dentists appt at 9. i dont wanna go. its cold outside and im feelinng anxiety.

my voices are gone today. because i got my shot early. T wanted to take me to the hospital. he texted me every hour asking how i am. i felt bad like i was stressing him out. i know he was just scared because that guy committed suicide on saturday and he knows the voices tell me to do that. he must have been really scared. i dont want to stress him out. but they are gone today and he said he is very glad. we are checking in later today after i go to class

This is actually how things were thought to be typically when we didn't have electricity. We all had two sleep periods one from onset of dark then you would wake up for a while and cuddle etc with your SO then you would fall back asleep for another period. It's actually 8 hrs of continuous sleep which is unnatural.

i didnt know that.
i guess im doing fine then?
my sleep is constantly like that. i wish i had a significant other to cuddle with.

im at the dentist and just feeling lots if anxiety from just being around people.

i just got done at the dentist. i had starting panicking.
