Do you get angry? I get angry. A "friend" of mine is making me angry today. If you get angry then this is the thread to let off steam. All those irritating NT's winding you up. You'd like to bury them in a shallow grave wouldn't you? *Hold on there is someone at the door**Sound of man being dragged away by White Coated individuals*
The thread for rants! Ok.
Last week I bought a 1kg packet of sugar at a city centre mainstream supermarket and at the checkout I discovered in shock that it cost 99p !!!
I felt robbed, I was sure my local shops were cheaper, mentally I ranted and ranted swearing I would never shop there again.
Today I checked my two local supermarkets, they both also sell it at 99p.
I have a massively short fuse, for instance yesterday, a trolleybus drew up, I was all set to go, then we seemed to be delayed as the driver started messing with something. Then he says there's something wrong, and we can't go.
More often, it's things like my own clumsiness, or the cat litter/bin bag splitting, letting something delightful spill everywhere!
Worse it is probably bitter and twisted brooding about wrongs done towards my good person from way back that can never be corrected that can be a speciality of mine. Sad, and unproductive, I know.
Today I feel too dopey and sleepy for anything, hour gone forwards and all, just relieved there's no more work today. My classes were either over over chatty or sluggish this morning too. A massive cold front has now rolled in, so it's bye bye spring and hello again, winter. There are are warnings of snow tomorrow in places, too.
I showed it the door but it is currently hanging onto the doorframe like a disobedient toddler.
You tell it! Bout time we all made a stand against mental health and showed it the door.
We're going wild in this thread.
f'#''' off mental health we are all getting fed up of this by now that felt quite good.
I'm sorry to hear that, even minor toothache drives me completely insane it's so hard to focus on anything, it can remove all enjoyment from life. You should beg them, good luck getting emergency treatment.
Thanks! I'll have to wait for the chemists to open for some of that, but I'll try the rest. Much obliged
I'm the same in real life as i am on here. I argue a lot. Debate if you want to be middle class about it. A career in Politics would have been ideal for me, if i didn't have Autism, but i do and i struggle in life. Just finding real life friends is beyond me at the moment.Thankyou for the well wishes. Always a pleasure to speak to Elvis.
Went through it in January. Take as many painkillers as you can. You can take different types concurrently. I'm sure you already know this.
I think that's quite funny. I'm sorry. We humans are an interesting bunch aren't we?
Oh okay. Do you not have 111 in NI? I don’t know if your dentists are as bad as here but you can be waiting 3/6 months for an appointment. 111 get you an appointment in a matter of days at some random dental surgery usually in the next town. Hope it settles for you. If you’re okay with ibuprofen you can take that and paracetamol at the same time - in case you didn’t know. Regularly rinsing with warm salt water might help a little too.
Each Trust has its own out-of-hours GP. But I'm not sure if they reinstated the out-of-hours Dentist.
It could come to that! I think it might be different here in NI- I read online that you could only use your own dentist or the weekend emergency dental clinic in the hospital that operates for a total of four hours over the weekend but not without phoning ahead.
You can phone 111 for emergency dentist appointments if it’s bad
Sorry you were feeling angry mate. I hope things are better for you now.
Today's been a hard day. It's been a long week to be honest, exhausting, a lot of masking and stress to deal with. Hope this week will be better than last.
Toothache has been driving me mad for days now. I got some temporary relief from it in an emergency dental appointment mid week. But whatever was put in place to cover the fracture must have crumbled away again as it’s agony. Even with painkillers. I’m supposed to make it to June like this - that’s when the permanent filling will be done - but I’ll be insane by then if this level keeps up. It’s an 11/10 level of pain. I think I’ll beg them to see me this week again. In the meantime, the greater crossness I would otherwise be feeling has been tempered by the nicer parts of my day - especially some characteristically very kind words from a truly thoughtful online friend.
Wow.
