Hi @outlander, lovely photo. I can feel the calm of that time of day. What a beautiful landscape around there! You are lucky to live in such a beautiful part of the world. I feel the same way where I am too. The landscape around here is magnificent.
I've just got home from my friend's place. C is cooking dinner. The TV is on, I'm hearing ads but can't see from here (not that I want to see ads, lol). Feeling a bit weird from the new med, I think, but okay.
Hi, @eth, @Appleblossom, @PeppiPatty, @Shaz51, and everyone, hope the rest of the evening is relaxing and peaceful.

Hope your meds settle @Mazarita One day I hope Sane will have a forum where we can actually discuss meds in more detail. It could be overseen by a qualified medical person and not go "live" until the posts are verified .. like with pic posting ...
I think it would be very helpful for a lot of people, but also I guess its good that life is also an important topic on this site as some forums from the US are dominated by med discussions.
@outlander Yes I imagaine your area is beautiful. I met up with the horsey lady today ... she is funny and jokes about.
Take Care

Just had dinner and had to go back to my friend's place because we left something there. Back again now if anyone feels like real time chat.
@outlander, where you are sounds okay except for the lack of services. Not far from the country here, just have to drive about 10 minutes inland and there's horses and cattle and hills and valleys, waterways. Further inland, waterfall and rockpools. I don't go much because I have a driving phobia, even as a passenger. Only just manage to be a passenger for short distances most times. But before this phobia descended, I went into that countryside a fair bit.
@Appleblossom, I know what you mean by other forums being dominated by meds discussion. Still, I can also imagine how an area like that here at SANE, with someone qualified with psych meds to answer questions about side effects etc, could be good. Often we are struggling with side effects between sessions with our psychiatrists, who are often not easy to make quick appointments with. Along with a space where members could discuss it all between ourselves openly, instead of it being shrouded here in the way it is.
@Shaz51, how you scotirish sister? Good to see you. The meds change is going okay so far, just some odd side effects like dreaming the same, continuous dream three times in a row when I slept and woke and slept and woke last night. I hope I don't dream the same thing tonight! It's getting unnerving. Also have some odd itchies on my skin and feel a bit lightheaded or something a bit off kilter like that. But basically okay and glad to be chatting here.
