Should I apologise to my neighbours?
1. Those kind of things always confused me: is it better to apologise for something you did unintentionally or maybe it’s better to pretend I forgot? As you may know the floor in my flat is really poor quality, I have installed soundproofing boards in my main bedroom but I recently mostly sleep in my…

Can I express my opinions?
What I’m going to describe here is an example of situations that make me overthink. As you may know I signed up for a university course, Msc in Dementia. I started around two weeks late as course already started when I just only got the idea to apply. Every week we have a new topic…

Is stereotyping always a bad thing?
I did complain on the blog several times that I hate when people stereotype me and when it’s the British who do that I consider it to be racism. I didn’t change my mind about it, as yet. I doubt I ever do. However, two days ago I started reading a book Qualitative Research by…

Family conflict around meds
I wonder if other people experience that too? John is like a family to me and apart from that I don’t have anyone really (it’s sad, isn’t it?), but I suppose similar issues may appear with living in partner or a husband. So basically he would like me to find a meds that really work…

Olanzapine meltdown
So I decided, at the end, that aripiprazole was not a drug I can stay on. It seemed to make me really good at the beginning but this is long gone now. When I have a good night sleep I am moreless ok, but if I don’t, I just end up walking around my flat…

I was a racist once
I need to discuss this uncomfortable concept here. I was thinking that, although we all, in British society, try to raise the awareness of racism we rarely talk in details about what it actually is and what it isn’t. The British don’t want to touch this subject because they are worried they will be attacked…

Is your name Asbestos?
Have I told you already that I find the subject I chose to study fascinating? Dementia is a course on department of psychology but it also has elements of medicine involved, and also I can research both the patients with dementia and their family’s responses to it. I was at some point thinking OMG, what…

Fortune telling
There is this meditation in Sleep School app called exactly that: fortune telling. It’s about thinking pattern where we try to predict what is going to happen and I must admit, I do that a lot. Even with little things. For example, while doing my grocery shopping in Lidl yesterday I was trying to ‘predict’…

Changes in life and social imagination (need a role model)
Regarding my previous recent post – I did have the same reaction for a couple of months when I first started studying physics, in Łódź, when I was 18. I wonder now whether this is just lack of social imagination? I do think I’m really bad in this field; I can’t imagine that my life…

Am I at risk of fraud?
I did post here a year ago how my mum become victim of fraud perpetrated by her favourite bank employee. It all looked really strange; the employee apparently stole such a large sum of money that she could have lived in a mansion but she lived in a flat. She had a husband and a…
