I mean I can't say I'm more stable than anyone.

But is it fair that someone assumes they are more stable than you? I mean it's an assumption and can keep people from expressing how they are feeling. The word "stable" is also fairly subjective. We are different and we all have struggles. I would hate if this forum stopped being a place where people could be honest about whats going on for them.

Oh no like I agree with you on that I just wasn't going to get annoyed like you and Seph because of my own mental position.

Exactly he can keep his assumptions to himself, I could relate to what gremmy was saying hence why I posted my experience of it, didn't appreciate being called "unstable" for it.

I didn’t assume anything. It was a light hearted joke obviously lost in the delivery. I don’t have any of the issues some of you post about on here, so I can’t empathise and thus don’t post or offer comment when someone does talk about their issues. I’m more than happy to bow out of this forum if you think I’m an asshole for trying to be light hearted.

It's ok to not offer comment when someone posts about something you don't understand. Sure I do that myself. I was just just struck by your assumption is all. I don't experience high levels of anxiety or much of what the people here sometimes do. That doesn't mean I see myself as being more "stable" or that I can't empathise. I certainly don't think you're an asshole and wouldn't want you to leave the forum.

Gwildor

It was supposed to be ironic. I certainly don’t see myself as any more or less stable than anyone here. Sure, everyone has issues to some degree, I just choose not to share them here. I’d be willing to bet that no one here would be able to empathise with me anyway. Again, it was a light hearted joke, not meant to offend

Fair enough. I didn't cop the irony. My apologies if I made you feel picked on in any way.

Gwildor

Certainly don’t feel picked on, I’m not that sensitive

I didn't have to wait long surprisingly but the appointment went bad. I told him that the pain feels worse and he reduced my painkillers.

Yuck, do you attend a pain or specialist clinic in hospital?.

Ask your physio next time you are in if they think it's an option

It's not. We've talked about it a lot and it has gotten nowhere.

Gremlinertia

Weird.

Shpud2

Yeah. I'd love to know how to deal with pain.

Gremlinertia

I think i was put on a wait list for a cbt course relating to pain specifically, though feck knows when that would come through.

Work o clock *sigh*

Shpud2

I was told something about a pain specialist down in cork but my consultant wasn't interested in going down that route.

Gremlinertia

Ah, there is a consultant, hmm. If pain is interfering with education and general life i think i'd discuss again.

Shpud2

It doesn't tend to interfere much. Just makes things harder.

Gremlinertia

I've kept journals to show daily effects on mobility, appetite, difficulty in ordinary tasks, relationships etc. Can be an eye opener in some cases. However i'm very aware i don't know your situation so these are just personal experiances

I struggle to keep a diary as it is I don't think I could manage a one on all those things. Sounds like a good idea though.

Gremlinertia

Oh just headings and marks one to ten. Chacklist really.. I find presenting data to these guys helps.

Shpud2

That doesn't sound too bad. I might try something like that.

Gremlinertia

It's quick but hard to get in the habit of..

Shpud2

Yeah I'd say it would be but a bit of routine like that would be good.

Gremlinertia

We generally all have something we do daily.

Shpud2

Yeah we do

Gremlinertia

I used to fill the checklist while i was taking meds before bed.

Shpud2

That's clever. I'd probably manage to forget though.

Gremlinertia

OH uses a mood app.

Shpud2

What does that do?

Gremlinertia

It's basically a little daily journal on your phone. There's loads afaik. Might suit you.
