Good Morning!

How are you going @TAB? I would start fishing around with that friend from S.A. as the full moon energies are starting to come in. I've noticed lots of world events coming to pass under this moon allready.  You could say youre stuck in a caravan park and are looking around for other options as your situation is undesirable.  You never know how a full moon is going to play out but maybe give your friend a ring?

Okay thanks for the thought @Former-Member but they are renting as have rented house out plus I don't want to impose.
Also I can't afford to move.
However if none of expected payments turn up shortly, will have to be asking someone for a loan

[Former-Member]

You could say something along the lines of: "you suffered a major traumatic event in your life when you were younger that left you changed and kind of shellshocked" if they probe you.  Youre not lying as schizophrenia has that effect, and its a major upheaval in anyones life this illness as it impacts your levels of adjustment @Former-Member Just tossing ideas around...

[Former-Member]

Its nice of you being considerate like that @TAB - its that libran diplomacy of yours!  

I know theyre renting, you could say something along the lines of "do you know anyone with a spare room or unit to rent" Its not a direct question asking of them personally, so its less imposing - it gives your friend the option of volunteering their own house on their own volition instead of asking them directly. Or beter still suggest a place with a friend of theirs

Yeah @TAB @thanks just a lot going on at the moment as use type in I guess, can’t know everything 

@Former-Member sounds like a planned day, enjoy… yeah CFS sounds terrible I was hungover Yesterday and it was a whole day for me to recover… no more drinking that’s for sure learnt my lesson this time and probs just take it easy, now just the smoking has to go as well but don’t really smoke at work. Anyways I might have some lunch now, mum cooked a whole weeks worth of food and have a selection to choose from. 

[Former-Member]

@Former-Member you got it made! I'm about to have lunch myself. Enjoy your day!

[TAB]

Yeah I understand that @Former-Member but I'm not working and housing is really tight. Prob better to sit tight for time being.

[Former-Member]

Good idea @Former-Member @but I feel that will last about a month or so till they try and probe further into the issue. Life with an illness is a battle that’s for sure. 

im just going to say I was an alcoholic in my teen years and suffered depression back in 2011 if they probe me… same same yet different. Only time will tell how that plays out. Once you have an illness no one tells you how to live with it… there have been stories online but everyone experiences it differently I just hope the medication allows me to live my life normally. 

I have a family friend with the illness and her condition is worse than mine. She’s moved from her home country and settled in Australia raised a child now that’s married himself and is still working. Though no one pays attention to her as much as they would someone normal they leave her be, and she keeps me going whether she’s aware of it or not… I’ve heard of people with schizophrenia doing investment properties and leading a good life while having a family of their own and trudging on. 

you yourself have worked and that’s pretty good @Former-Member no one ever tells you but that’s something positive you’ve travelled around went to clubs that’s also inspiring. Have you had your own family?

Good morning and good afternoon @Former-Member @TAB @MDT @BPDSurvivor @Former-Member @FloatingFeather @hanami @tyme @Shaz51 @Former-Member @Former-Member @Snowie @greenpea @Meowmy @Oaktree @frog @Jacques @Clawde @maddison and all forumites here. I hope your day is going well whatever you may be getting involved in.

As for me, I’ve got an appointment with my the resident local mental health team psychiatrist and my case manager later this afternoon which I’m a little anxious about as they should hopefully make some changes to my meds- wishful thinking! I wasn’t the best last night with the schizophrenia symptoms causing me issues in regards to voices and me feeling suicidal once again which has since gone. I think it’s just the stress of potentially getting changes made and where that will happen- either at home or in hospital somewhere- and the fa to that if it even happens at all. I’ll post more on the appointments in my little discussion thread Jude’s Jungle 

Okay. Time for me to go and get ready. Take care and have a great afternoon!

Agreed with @TAB on just do the job @Former-Member
That is what i did in previous roles (even though it was not my cup of tea at the time it gave me exp) but in the end i developed a reputation for just doing my job. No BS.

It's an adjustment I think in this day and age as workplaces become more political (i mean interoffice politics not the sort of politics in Canberra)

yeah will see how it goes re: partner. @Former-Member I'm pretty chill about it all. Just focusing on what/where I can go. Did some refinancing today but turns out not much difference with where i store my money. Bit like coke vs pepsi. Lol

Hey @Bill16 dunno if you are around but hope you're okay champ
