Roll Call 62

Hey Tweaky, I'm sorry you're feeling so poo. Hope you'll be feeling better sooner a week. I'm glad you were able to write how you're doing, even though the motivation is low. This year is flying by, it would be nice to things on pause.

Morning,

Got my blood tests / check up this morning. Means I won't be able to have breakfast for a couple of hours... will be starving by the time I do!

I think that is actually quite a normal thing, plenty of people say things like "um" and "er" and "but" when they are talking. I think social anxiety definitely plays a role in things like that, I certainly found when my GAD was playing up that I had trouble communicating what I wanted to say. It's like being a rabbit in headlights. Do you find yourself talking more fluidly when you are comfortable, like when you are talking to your family?

Hi all. Got a new tattoo yesterday. Continuing the mission to cover up my scars. It's incredibly swollen atm but I love the design

Just back from the doctors... my blood pressure was fine & I'll be getting the results of my blood sugar / cholesterol tests next week.

I thought I would have been starving having had to wait an extra 2 hours for breakfast but I was fine really. I guess the extra 20lbs I put on whilst on risperidone has given me more reserves...

Also booked in for an asthma review next month. I'm supposed to get it once a year but I'd had no letter through so had forgotten but the nurse brought it up today. It's not really played up this year, I don't think I've had to use my inhaler once so it'll be interesting to see what the spirometry shows when I get that done.

Great! What design did you get... you should show us a photo!

Sure loial I'll post a pic.



As I say my arm looks lumpy and swollen but should look good when it settles down.
It's a compass btw

Hi Justme, glad to hear youre doing well! are you looking forward to starting classes again?

Hey neil, yeah I think so will be good to have some structure to my weeks again. Lack of things to do and occupy my mind has played havoc a bit

haha yeh that can happen quite easily. did i tell you i finally got full access to Jstor? was so happy!

what classes do you have coming up?

cause i dont like my coworkers that work the day shift. we just have very different beliefs and they shove theirs onto me

That's cool did you have to pay? Just different modules, one is children's literature which should be fun

Awesome tattoo!

*imagines exam on Mr. Men*

Thank you!

That would be cool! We actually have to read Harry Potter and Winnie the Pooh which is awesome

This...

Anyone I've met with schizophrenia in hospital spoke the same. Just like you described. It was the first thing I noticed when I watched your YouTube videos. Would it be a schizophrenia thing or just a coincidence? I speak to fast personally and mumble sometimes so I'm the opposite, I wouldn't like anyone to make fun of me for it. So tell your sister to feck off In a nice way.

Brilliant! It covers up the scars so well! I'm just waiting on the cash to get my two sleeves done. Your photo's are the reason I'm going to go for it, I wasn't sure how they'd look over the scars but it hides so much. Your arms are in the same condition as mine so this gives me hope. I just have to find an artist who's comfortable with it. Do you reckon it hurts more with all the scar tissue? That's kind of irrelevant to me because I need to get it done but just curious as to what to expect! Thanks Justme!

No got it for free the price for it is staggering, im sure it is four figures even for one individual. i dont know how much institutions have to pay...

childrens lit should be pretty cool. i had a course on fairy tales that traced them back over several centuries. the earlier versions were terrifying and have been toned down over time but much of the innuendo targeted at adults remains. sounds like yours is going to be relatively recent childrens lit though. hope you do some dr seuss!

i find i talk fluidly when im talking to someone im comfortable with my dad or Door on skype. otherwise im always saying "um" or "but" a lot.

i guess its a schizophrenia thing because its not a coincidence. and i take things so literal. what people say or ask me. so people have to word what they say very carefully and speak clearly otherwise ill interpret exactly what you say as you say it. and i get confused if people arent clear in what they say.

morning.

had two cups of coffee i think already. spending some time with my dad before he goes to work and then alone i am in this house for 9 hours straight. sucks. wish he was around more. i love him to death.

i had a dream i took classes at the university i want to goto before i enrolled. it was like a movie. i even dreamt about driving all the way there and back. it kinda sucked.

That's great chicken! I'm so glad it's helped you go for it. Good luck with finding an artist. Be prepared for some people to not be comfortable with it, some people turned me away before I found a lovely place that would do it. It definitely hurts more over scars so be prepared but it's so worth it. I feel so much better about my arm already and it's not even finished yet.

Oh great, yeah I thought it might be expensive.
I hope we do some history of original fairytales, I've heard some of them are horrible haha.

My motivation is dead at the moment. I don't want to take another caffeine pill because I'll get heart palpitations
