I’m in a real hurry this morning. Just woken up and I have people coming and lots of deliveries including food. I had better hurry up!
Awake again
Tue 6th Feb, at 03:57 am | Deirdre | Diary
So I am awake again. I have been like this since I was a teenager. If I have something on my mind then I don’t sleep. I remember looking out the window at night when everyone was asleep when I was at High School. Mind you I also found it very difficult to concentrate on my lessons especially if l didn’t get it. My GP said to me last year – it’s not a memory problem – l have a lack of concentration. One of the negative symptoms that the antipsychotics don’t sort out. But that’s my life!
So busy
Mon 5th Feb, at 08:36 am | Deirdre | Diary
My mind was so busy yesterday which continued into the night and I was still awake at 3.30. I had intended having an early bath and washing my hair but it will have to wait until another time. I hope that I feel better as the day goes on!
I am late
Sun 4th Feb, at 09:15 am | Deirdre | Diary
I am late having my breakfast in bed as I overslept – catching up with my lack of sleep on Friday night. I really hate it when I oversleep.
Never mind!
Sat 3rd Feb, at 09:01 am | Deirdre | Diary
I couldn’t sleep because I was fretting about my latest haircut so I came downstairs until 3.00 am. And then this morning I am really tired. Never mind!
Rotten attack
Thu 1st Feb, at 09:11 am | Deirdre | Diary
Rotten attack in Clapham, South London on the television News this morning which is where I lived before I moved to Norfolk. I don’t know whereabouts in Clapham it was.
The north of Ireland
Wed 31st Jan, at 08:11 am | Deirdre | Diary
The talk on the News channel this morning included whether the north of Ireland was a little closer to being united with the rest of the island. We will have to wait quietly and patiently to see.
Current situation
Tue 30th Jan, at 07:58 am | Deirdre | Diary
I haven’t been up long having awoken early yesterday. Waiting to hear what President Biden might have come up with in response to the current situation in the Middle East. Some people talking about World War Three in relation to Iran.
Mental health units
Mon 29th Jan, at 05:40 am | Deirdre | Diary
There’s a report on Sky News about sexual assaults in mental health units. I experienced inappropriate behaviour on behalf of some of the male staff in some of the mental health units that I stayed in and that was in the 80s. I was telling my Counsellor about it recently.
That’s okay!
Sun 28th Jan, at 08:30 am | Deirdre | Diary
My counselling is going well. Not only can I talk about the incidents of sexual interference whilst I was growing up and as a young adult but he is an “Irish descendant lapsed Catholic “ so he understands where I am coming from. He is currently going on a cruise so I won’t have another session until the end of February but that’s okay!
