Omg @Shaz51 you poor thing
I think I'll just go home tomorrow. Once I see my psych I'll go. There's no point stsying.
I have the week off work and make an appt to see my GP.
I don't want to be here anymore. Which is strange because normally I want to stsy as long as possible.

Hi @BlueBay
Life's tough - I can hear you - and you have had all these tests and you have high cholesterol. Darn - but you have a choice - you can take medication or watch what you eat - and I know neither is welcome. What else can you do though -
I have the feeling as if you are in a maze and keep confronting a wall and can't find your way out. It must be hard - it's no fun at home in the Crowded House with the lockdown and level four only half way through - and the predictions of not getting back to normal life for months or longer is - darn - depressing.
Day by day is okay for me but when I hear that we might be curtailed at Christmas Time I do feel snared - it will get everyone somewhere - it's is a tough time and at least I am alone which must be easier than being in a houseful
So - my suggestion is to stay where you are for the time being where it is at least peaceful. I know you are unhappy - and I feel for you wishing there was something I could do or even say - whatever could help you when life is just hard for you
But I sincerely believe you are feeling better than you were a couple of years ago. I do remember asking you - a long time ago - what small things you would change to help yourself feel a little less unhappy - sometimes -
There's your grand-daughter - and your music and colouring in. You can take a walk along the beach while you still live there - spring is coming and I do know - the weather has been really bad over the weekend
I am thinking of you -

Hi @Owlunar
I'm in bed already. I'm freezing cold and feel crap.
I spoke to my mum this mirning. She actually called me!!! And we spoke about littke A snd my D for quite a while. It was a nice long conversation.
Littke A rang me before. She loves showing me what she's done. My D helped her do art and craft and they made a magic mirror.
She has a littke slide inside and she's decided to put nonna in the slide (my D mobile phone) and she laughs because I'm going down the slide. So funny.
haven't seen my physician or psych yet.
I spoke to unit manager this mirning about not taking cholesterol tab. She said if I don't want to Thsts my body my choice.
so I told her I refuse to take it. I am going to really watch my food and exercise more. Then get tested again in 6 months by my own GP. I was proud that I made the decision to not take them.
this lockdown seems to be forever. Can't do much but I hope we don't wear masks in summer. And I hope we can go swimming.
I'm glad you're doing ok.
Think I'll go I need to warm up. Take care Dec. xxx
