Even when I don't really fancy a cider, I find I buy a can to have with my tea...Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17928403879981792388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8092261346236962635.post-74976628889410099242011-08-13T22:06:27.856+01:002011-08-13T22:06:27.856+01:00Yeah it's true if I was just about to do it I ...Yeah it's true if I was just about to do it I wouln't tell a soul otherwise they'd only try and stop me. I'm still fed up of talking about it it's very boring. Poor Mouth said on his blog "it is better to keep one's mouth shut and risk looking a fool than to open it and remove all doubt" and I thoroughly agree. I have only made myself look too stupid for words by capturing flying rubbish pinging through my mind that should never have been capture at all! I'm going to have to find something else to talk about even in a stream of consiousness......Gledwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09308172310486574510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8092261346236962635.post-29820676835655124752011-08-13T21:05:34.018+01:002011-08-13T21:05:34.018+01:00You're doing alright, I heard somewhere that t...You're doing alright, I heard somewhere that those people that talk about suicide rarely ever do the deed. It's those strong silent types you have to watch out for. At least while you are writing about it you are not actually acting on your thoughts.<br />In the words of Freddie Mercury 'I don't want to die, I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all.'I feel like that sometimes, but I always 'carry on, carry on'<br />My thoughts are with you from the other side of the world.

It is just that I wish you the best and hope for happier times for you.Sydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05642843245634635843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8092261346236962635.post-53272443051248003742011-08-13T15:56:19.398+01:002011-08-13T15:56:19.398+01:00that's why i feel stupid because i always used...that's why i feel stupid because i always used to be sensible and at least make decisions that were rational even if they weren't right all the time<br /><br />i'm asking my dr (when i find a new dr again) to please CHANGE my antipsychotics because apart from giving me the chance to make a fortune in a house of ill repute they're making me ANXIOUS and the side-effects leaflets bear this out<br /><br />if i can be on something that doesn't disagree and be perfectly in the habit of taking it i should be ok<br /><br />should be!<br /><br />i'm just glad the residual effects of the pills i'd taken before the "episode" probably prevented it going too bonkers... at least i think they did!Gledwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09308172310486574510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8092261346236962635.post-59688581973562416152011-08-13T15:21:18.754+01:002011-08-13T15:21:18.754+01:00We're all at least a little broken.

I don't want to say that you can't help it - you just have to recognize those times when you are not acting rationally (I know that sounds impossible) and that, regardless of how you feel, you need to do what you are told. I'm pretty sure there's a part of your mind that can do that. Train yourself to listen to that. It might not work the first time - but you'll become more aware - build on that.Jeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15320507412459242451noreply@blogger.com
