    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 fleece I was given by the agency I worked for a year ago. It had their logo embroidered at the front and for that reason…

  • That’s not my problem

    I found a few content creators online who advise on how to speak professionally instead of being direct, which especially helps when we are at work. Apparently instead of ‘that’s not my problem’ we should say ‘let me see what I can do to help you’. I will remember that. It may help in my…

  • Psych meds chat

    It seems I am doing ok on 25mg of lamotrigine. It also seems that it reduced my appetite so I am quite happy about that. No change on the depression front as yet but I’m only on a starting dose. Yesterday evening I was exchanging texts with a friend who has problems with depression and…

  • Trading for autistics part 2

    Unfortunately I came to conclusion that trading may be not for me. I find it upsetting how unpredictable it can be. 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…

  • 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 if I’ll be able to take this medication safely and it is upsetting to think…

  • Getting the hint

    I have a friend who used to invest in stocks in Poland in the 90s. It was a new thing in our country at the time as stock market wasn’t available during communism. So I asked her if she wants to trade. ‘We could compare strategies’ I said. She asked what she needed to start.…

  • Trading for autistics

    I’m still depressed. Did I tell you that I only recently accepted the fact that I have bipolar? John visited me but only for a few hours. I gave him his birthday present which was coffee from London Nootropics, two sets, one of them was mushroom coffee. I assumed that if John likes both mushrooms…

  • Spotlight effect

    I heard about this phenomenon a few months ago and was meant to post about it at the time but then depression kicked in so I didn’t. I now think about Ashley who managed to create such fantastic posts and even write books while depressed. And yet she couldn’t put up with life. It’s so…

  • Mania

    1. Someone on my Facebook bipolar group asked how we experience mania, so I said this: ‘I don’t experience mania as such; I go almost straight to psychosis and after two days I have police drugging me out of my flat. After psychosis I’m hypomaniac for a bit which means high productivity, energy and creativity,…
