I was bricking myself about this session with C, after his apparent transference-related realisations at the end of the last meeting. I don’t want to tell him I want him to hold me, stroke my hair, soothingly kiss my forehead and softly whisper protective words in my ear. I mean, who would want to reveal such intimate and one-sided desires? [...]
A minor modicum of good news amidst the current ocean of thick, virtually un-wade-able, shit. And, indeed, my second post on benefits within a few days; how odd. I’ve had a brief look through the archives for a contextual post to this, and cannot find one. The best I can do is the review of [...]
Apparently the delightful George Osbourne, with the backing of both the Tories and the Liberal Democrats in their spectacularly beautiful little love-in coalition of joy, has decreed that from 2013 all claimants of Disability Living Allowance – new or existing – will have to undergo medical examinations. This is in order to weed out the dirty, scrounging malingerers that go about claiming DLA…you know, those bunch of work-shy, lazy twatbags that just cannot be arsed to work. [...]

As you know, I was at yet another Occupational Health assessment about three weeks ago. I haven’t bothered to detail it as I knew it would feed into this inevitable post. It was a different doctor from the two I’ve seen before; he wasn’t quite as nice as the bloke from last time (who was [...]

One of Dr C‘s minions phoned yesterday to report that an appointment has been made for me this Friday at 9.30am. Aside from being frightened of nasty Dr C and the possibility of yet another panel interview-esque meeting with her and Dr N, I am kind of angry. I was referred to a psychiatrist in [...]

I started writing the below on Thursday straight after C, but completely lost momentum at the bit where I was talking about telling C about my iPhone mood tracking from Tuesday. I intended to write more on Friday, but that most horrible and frightening of things, real life, interfered. On Thursday night, I received word [...]

Last night, I had my first real episode of (negative) mania and loss of lucidity since the birthday party incident. Well, strictly speaking it was this morning – shortly after 2.30am, during a fairly typical night of insomnia. I was in a frenzy, though the physical manifestations of it can’t have been that strong, as [...]
My maternal grandfather was a farmer. He lived in a big farmhouse in the middle of nowhere, with an scattered array of outhouses, fields, evil cows* and tractors. (*Literally; I don’t mean a group of cancerous old women – I actually think cows are deeply sinister creatures.) In one of the outhouses, out the back [...]
I tried to write this entry before but I hadn’t taken the time to investigate the workings of the WordPress iPhone app, and lost the entire fucking thing. I am mad, but I do want to record this matter, so I will try again. I went to the Citizens’ Advice Bureau today, to obtain assistance [...]
