Going to read a Caitlin Moran book, looking forward to it as last book was tough at times.

Hope you enjoy it.

I'm gonna catch up on Marcella, and do a few other bits for something exciting that is happening for me. Fingers crossed it works out, luck hasn't been great recently.

Pwease pwease I can haz a Lair?!? :pac:


Hiiiii! Back in a bit. Trying to wash and sort clothes before the rain sets in aarrgghhhh... Gotta love the ease of drying clothes outside!! That is the one and only singular solidly single reason / advantage to heat and sun lol!

How's everyone?!

That reminds me, I have a load in the washing machine to be taken out.

Fierce dryin out altogether

Said every Irish mammy everywhere.

Everyone's got routines when it comes to clothes..

The first time I used an ironing board & iron, it was a foreign concept to me..

Now I've it mastered

Yeah that's true alright.

Meanwhile i haven't ironed in many moons and rarely fold stuff. Going to wear it/use it/sleep on it so wrinkle it anyway..

See with my anxiety I have a thing about being organised and having as perfect as it can be (though not 100% perfect obvs) so that's why I do it.

Same with anything for me, has to be done a certain way. Pain at times but keeps me calm.

Same here, left an iron mark on the first shirt I ironed. Not sure if I've ever been forgiven for it :pac:

I can still iron, was very handy at it years ago when i had nice shirts, just no point to it for me now. Ahem, or laziness

If suddenly my anxiety took in my laundry i'd be in trouble, i am master of the floordrobe and bedrobe

Floordrobe and bedrobe. I love them. I absolutely love them.

I'm terrible when it comes to my anxiety and organisation. Everything has to be done a certain way for me. It genuinely stresses me out if its not.

Then again, I am fairly sure I have Aspergers so whether they're connected or not I don't know, presumably they are.

At work i need everything just so, also have issues with even numbers

I'm the same.

I never realised until the last few months just how my anxiety affected/affects me to be honest.

Its mad how it creeps in in little ways that we don't always notice util they are pointed out or until we analyse ourselves/our behaviour and spot it.

Same here, notice very little about myself, never did.

Its amazing how the mind works, it really is.

Its such a powerful tool and we don't often realise just how powerful it is.

When the experts know so little about it it's not surprising i don't get much, but it is awe inspiring how much potential lies in the mind..

Fully agree with this.

I've found Occupational Therapy itself to be a huge eye opener for me personally.

The therapy i've had and my OH have been huge for me..

Same here bar the OH, my best friend has been an amazing support.

Despite not seeing her regularly (living too far apart) she has still provided amazing support. I honestly would be lost without her.

No matter how tired she is, how down she is, how long her day at work was she always, always makes the effort to message me, that means a huge amount to me.
