Chit Chat #26

Good eveninggggggg I hope you all had a lovely Sunday
I started cleaning my room at about 3pm and I literally procrastinated so much that I only finished about an hour or two ago. I sprayed my mattress and fitted sheet with the febreeze cotton spray thingy so my room smells lovely and fresh. i had a shower and got into the bath just now, I ALWAYS shower before i have a bath so i can be nice and clean in the bath and I leave a hair mask in whilst i sit in the bath. I wash my hair 3 times a week but I go to the gym everyday so I’m gonna start every other day I think. Maybe even everyday because it makes me feel disgusting and I have thickkkkkkk long hair so it’s even worse. I use Aussie shampoo and a hair mask instead of conditioner

@Peaches_xox I know I responded to your therapy thing before so I hope this won’t be too long. i think i mentioned having therapy from about 13 and I was finally diagnosed at 18. due to my diagnosis I’ve been given meds in the past, they are still prescribed to me but I have never taken them regularly enough. just because Im terrified of becoming reliant on them (i saw this happen to somebody in my family and it just put me off because of her experience but I consider them sometimes) Struggling with your mental is the worst thing because for you the world stops but the world continues no matter what happens and it’s horrific. I use gym and therapy as my outlets, I also have an amazing support system in my partner which i think really is crucial. my mental is still up and down so as I’m getting older I’m leaning more towards medication as I’m not sure I want to fight for my life forever. I would recommend speaking to your GP if you feel comfortable and see your options from there. Peace and happiness are a literal priority, i hope you feel better soon x

I’ve had a glass of wine and I’m feeling a lot of feelings tonight. For reasons I can’t explain, I started thinking about the way my ex used to look into my eyes before we kissed and now I’m feeling like because I don’t have that any more and I miss it. Life lesson; don’t drink and think.

Just think about all the reasons you broke up and how much better it’ll be with your next boyfriendddddd

@xx3221 oooer I usually shower after a bath on the rare occasion that I do have a bath. But I might try before now you’ve said it
All this hair washing talk is making me want to wash mine. You know when you know you’re gonna wake up and it’s gonna be proper greasy. That’s me but I’m going to the office on Tuesday and I want fresh hair so I’m washing it tomorrow night.

this is the first time in 31 years of life that I’ve really struggled with my MH. I know a lot has happened over the years so I’m not too surprised but I find it quite hard to admit because my sister has schizophrenia so I never want people to think there’s two ‘crazy’ ones but I literally can not go on living feeling dead inside so i think I will deffo call the GP tomorrow and see what they say. My bf has been less then kind about it over the years as well so that makes it harder to want to talk about it!

I go weeks without washing my hair when I'm in a MH slump

 

[wordzalad]

Usually I wash mine every 2-3 days. If I wash it twice in a row it feels dry and it’s almost to my a so i cba

Hi gang, I’m so far behind on this thread I’ll never catch up. Hope everyone is ok. Maybe we can have a recap on the next thread for hopeless people (me)

I had a great shop in Home Bargains but still not been to B&M.

xxxxx

@Peaches_xox if anyone will think that because of your sister, they are the ones who need a therapist! It’s 2022, MH should not be a taboo. I’d say if you start medication start it on a low dose and ensure you report the outcome to your gp/ therapist on a regular basis.

Also with regards to your bf you will have to have some honest chats with him. I know men are trained from birth that feelings don’t exist but if he is going to be your life partner he needs to be a good listener at the bare minimum. My bf is a lot more understanding after he attended a therapy session with me at the height of my panic attacks. Before that he would always claim there’s no such thing as serious anxiety (men are mats!) but after coming to that session he stopped and actually checked in on me on that front more often.

Hope you can feel more like yourself soon

I thought this said for ‘homeless people like me’ I thought of that’s why she’s been quiet glad it didn’t say that tho xx

I completely understand. I have a really similar situation with my older sister. She has a lot of mental health issues and I felt that way too, that I didn't want there to be 'two crazy ones'. It ended up that way but at least we are self-aware! It's a massively taboo thing in my family so is just disregarded. I can relate regarding your bf too, I'm so sorry he's like that. my ex boyfriend and I were together at some of the lowest times of my life and he has no idea to this day because he didn't make me feel like I could talk about it. It was constantly "you're always upset" etc. A good support system can take away a huge burden. Please do seek help, it will take a massive weight away! And we are all here to listen and offer support

 

[Peaches_xox]

You guys are so lovely My bf can be a bit of a fool which is surprising considering his mum has suffered from depression her whole life. Dunno what he wants from me tbh, says I’m not myself then when I explain why he’s like nah dunno what you’re on about. Men really are mats get me a girlfriend

He has probably justified his mum’s depression based on x,y or z and has desensitised himself from it.

Honestly can’t recommend him sitting in the therapy session with you after you have done it a few times yourself first. He doesn’t have to take part he can just observe the convo. It will be eye opening to him.

I will deffo suggest it! I didn’t even know that was an option! xx

@Peaches_xox therapy is about you and if you think including mr peaches for a session (or even just part of one session) will help you then it is always an option. You might even find that once you have had a few sessions and your therapist is more aware of your relationship dynamic they may suggest it anyway. But always do what you think will benefit you most. I think sometimes our partners say things like "you're so sad" or "you're so upset" and think we can just snap out of it in the blink of an eye, when the reality is never that easy.

We are always here to chat to though.

Morning all. For the first time in months I actually slept well, I looked at the clock and it said 11pm and then woke up again just before 6am. I wish I could say I felt refreshed but hey ho. Without grossing everyone out I have an infection in the site of one of my tubes going into my abdomen. It is so gross, it has never really healed in the 5 months I have had it. The consultant comes round today so I'm going to talk about having it remioved. The stupid thing has been more hassle than it is worth. I can't go around with an open wound on my body for the rest of my life. I wish I never got it.

Other than that, same old, same old.

 

[BelleAmie]

Morning my loves @WilmaHun how are you feeling today?

 

[coconochanel]

Morning all, I've had a shower and some breakfast. Later I'm popping to The Asda as I need a couple of bits. Hope you all have a lovely day.

 

[Rxt156]

[Peaches_xox]

Morning! Little peaches has gone back to school. I’m buzzing. It’s so quiet around here. Plan today is to get on with some work. I also have a wax booked for later and I’m gonna try find some spring clothes online. Hope everybody has a good day

How are you going to get them done???? I see so many fancy styles on IG and that but I never have it in me to ask the nail tech for anything similar. I’m like ‘pink is fine’

I actually don’t know. I have french tips atm, and I really like these so I don’t want to get a solid colour now. But I’m not keen on nail art really so I don’t know. This is what I have atm! (sorry for the weird pic i can’t find any others)

 

[wordzalad]

I always get like nail art or glitter or foils I love crazy nails
