I miss John, terribly
I started feeling better on lamotrigine already but for around a week now my depression seems to be coming back. I didn’t see John last weekend and I won’t see him this weekend either. Can someone explain to me how it is possible that I miss him so badly but at the same time it…

Random acts of kindness
I just found out that Pret, British coffee shop chain has an unusual policy: random acts of kindness. The policy allows their workers to give free drinks or food items at random to the customers.

Kick
I had an online work training today and one of the topic was basic life support. The trainer stated that if someone is unconscious we need to approach them from their feet. I must admit here that, although I work in care for around 15 years, I’ve never heard about it. The trainer then asked…

Holding something fluffy
Guess what I was doing yesterday? Holding something fluffy as John said and it made me laugh. Can you see the letter S on the photo? ‘Something fluffy’ is a jumper I was given by the agency I worked for a year ago. It had their logo embroidered at the front and for that reason…

Trading for autistics part 2

Also I didn’t read Meta financial statement that has been released yesterday evening. And I didn’t read it because I thought doing patterns is much more fun. Today Meta’s shares went up 14%, then…

Lucid dreams
This is BBC article about lucid dreams, that means dreams where you are aware that you’re dreaming. Apparently they can be induced or learned. It’s an interesting read. I sometimes have lucid nightmares where I finally realise I’m dreaming and I decide not to be bothered about the content of my dream or even decide…

Side effects
I wasn’t feeling very well yesterday afternoon and I thought that possibly I’d need to give up on taking lamotrigine but I was perfectly fine when I woke up today so fingers crossed. Obviously it is too early to say I’ll be able to take this medication safely and it is upsetting to think that…

Writing makes us healthier
That’s an article I found in The Guardian. Very interesting read. I wonder if blogging makes healthier too. And what about doing digital art? I should be super healthy today.
