I know Emmerdale went through a bit of a good patch from 2004-06 but I just can’t get with Classic Emmerdale. I find it extremely boring. Nothing before 2010 catches me.

Can't believe it's time to go back to work again soon on Tuesday

The misconceptions of electroconvulsive therapy and its exaggerated risk, and the fact that it’s a treatment specifically for severe depression (and one or two mania and schizophrenia things, but primarily depression). That + neurosurgical procedures more broadly (transcranial/vagus-nerve stimulation) exist as options for depression in a world where it’s only OCD besides depression that gets neurosurgeries that withstand the scrutiny of the post-lobotomy era are a testament to how serious and severe depression often is (because people underestimate the potential severity and how acutely life-threatening, and not just by way of suicide, it can be). All comes down to this perception too many people have of depression just being about being sad or anxious, not recognising that it can be psychotic, literally immobilising (catatonic, even) and all manner of good stuff. Always banging on about schizophrenia and maybe bipolar manic-depression as being the main serious mental illnesses. I had a psychology teacher who was like that (schizophrenia was his niche) but that all changed when the syllabus got to the topic of serious depression and he brought up a case-study of a woman with psychotic depression recovering with ECT. I was there in understanding for what feels like a trillion light years before him but the guy was shook and took a lesson home from that. To not underestimate the severity of depression. It’s not just low mood, any more than mania is euphoria or “good moods”. It’s reality-testing, it’s self-perception, it’s massive motor changes, it’s hygiene, it’s sleep and appetite distortions, it’s general medical health. It can mimic dementia and leave people unable to eat, sleep or speak. It’s everything, and it can take people closer to hell in terms of torment than almost anything-else, even cancer.

As-for ECT itself, well. Me and kizzy have fallen out over this (not that we were ever really “in” with each-other like that in the first place) but I’m still gonna have to insist that it can bring people back from the half-dead/quasi-Lazarus. Some issues with temporary amnesia but overall it’s a safe procedure in more modern times and nothing like it was in the ’50s. And it works for mild to moderate as well as severe depression. The stigma attached to it (like MAOIs) is undeserved and outdated.

Yeah

Apparently Friday is the most popular day of the week … even though you are working your brain is looking forward to the weekend


Least popular time of the week is Sunday evening for the opposite reason

Inflation is one reason.

And the main reason is corporations love to financially bankrupt people.

How do some people find it so easy to keep their house spotless and laundry put away every day? Let alone with kids?

…your hours are spent in enjoying time with your little one and family etc and that’s much more precious than a tidy house…

Yeah, that's true, I just wish it came naturally to me, everyone else just gets on with it but I feel like housekeeping is a constant dark cloud looming over me, it doesn't seem like that for everyone else.

…honestly, I feel that it does feel similar for many people, especially when trying to juggle it all with parenthood…we always feel that others are just sailing through, don’t we…but I think the closer truth is that most are going through the exact same stuff and thinking the exact same things that everyone else…etc……

[Ammi]

@Jessica ….as little one grows up, a tidy house is not something he’ll remember with love and affection…spending time with his mom and giggling with his mom, that’s what will build his memories and hold his smiles…

It can be Jessica. I feel that way sometimes. For example right now I'm co hosting Tibb BB with the wonderful @Josiah who has been a Saint and a rock cos I've been knackered all the time since we started and he's listened to me patiently and understood I have to do housework and juggle everything. Yet I truly love the game so it'll be fine.

You've got a lot on your plate long term, I've been a parent and it's hard. I acknowledge where you are coming from completely my love.

Xxxx

I checked out his book from the library. It's very easy to read.

Ammi is obviously correct lol. You'll find also when baby leaves the demanding food/nappy/nap schedule phase and you as the mum have decided they are fundamentally and developmentally where they should be, you'll also have thrived/developed with them. All that energy you learned to develop so you could focus on little one, a good portion will free up as the demands continue to lessen, so your little child is going to be ready and waiting to point a big giant light into your life onto areas that need the most focus. That will include things like well-being and being more creative around productivity. Something about that shift in energy really clears up prioritizes and that can help you restructure to make the little stuff less impactful and more trivial. You may find the cleaning won't be as painful since it's more centered around making the space work more for you and family when you're more focused on the bigger picture stuff. But yeah, I spend a lot of time outdoors in the sun outside doing lawncare with child and pups and DIY stuff as I can when my house was frustrating me... which is often, because I'm still physically working on it...

When our teenagers bedrooms were a mess I grabbed a black bin bag and walked towards the stairs.. they dashed past me to tidy up

Sooooo

Why on earth are we seeing more and more female attendants cleaning men’s toilets whilst being used ??


They now put a sign at the doorway so you get to choose to go in or find other toilets ( practically impossible)

My brother's been caught a couple of times, some woman slopping a mop around the urinals while men are using them. It's not on.

Soooo
Given that the three Christian Bale Batman movies are supposedly so brilliant I thought I would give them a try

Within 2 minutes of Batman Begins .. I am close to ditching it just due to the two PATHETIC fake beards of two important characters !!

If they can’t even get decent looking fake beards what’s the rest of the movie like ?

The Film is fun if you like the Superhero genre imo.

Don't let fake beards put you off a Film that you might otherwise like.
