I remember that. Made the city look foolish. Wasn't Beaumont Leys leisure centre meant to be a replacement for St Margaret's?

Ill-informed or completely un-informed, making statements and POV's that very little basis in fact, IIRC. Is that what "gaslighting" means. It seems to be another word that has crept into news and media. Is it when someone tries to convince you that you didn't say or see, what you know you actually said/saw?

As far as I can remember, a "new centre" was never built.

She is very unlikely to work and, as a family, we just don't know what the future holds. We just take each day as it comes and hope for some stability and some security in her thinking.

I hope it's ok to post an email I had from my daughter a while back that I've just re-discovered. It might give an insight into her MH and maybe others can relate to. Readers and posters on this topic will know I've posted before regarding my daughter It's sensitive but quite revealing about bi-polar and the mood swings with and without meds. The punctuation and spelling aren't great but it's a stream of consciousness written describing what, at the time. she was feeling and thinking: i want to explain as i struggle so much to tell people the reality of my life . And i know u dont understand me . Right now my moods so angry i keep being not nice to (name removed) half of my brain tells me to be nice and to stop but i just cant theirs no stop button , last 2 -3 days ive switched from feeling low to being very angry, am eating slight bits but not enough i know , i feel like blitzing money which i have done this week , im angry irritated dont feel the need to sleep as much i feel uncontrolable being either nasty or shouting and abusing people i just cant stop i was up the other day for 24 hours i didnt feel the need to sleep i was up last night another 3 times i now again dont feel like sleeping ive tried to eat but i still dont feel the need . last few weeks ive gone from suicidal down wanting to harm myself which u know i have . i also no0w feel like i want to sleep around . its like in my head at times its my world . part of me says charlottes just trying to be me . that shes attension seeking the other part of me is saying part of me saying just support her i send messages of support not long follwed by messages that arent supportive . my angry mood is coming out on everyone . . i just cant stop . i sit here wrighting this angry i know im snapping at anybody and everybody . . i dont feel the need to sleep proboly another night like the night befiore atleast the mitazipine sent me to sleep . when i felt low i just wanted to be alone i cried i self harmed i rewally felt why i canmt live with this head i cant live a normal life my moods change and can last for weeks i can just never stay stable no matter how hard i try, my highs tell me im getting their im ready for work fulltime but sometimes my constentration just isnt their i feel that good that i sometimes feel others arent as pretty as me as if im better than everyone i take the piss at these times to i look in the mirror and see a diffrent person take pictures and feel overly confident about my apprenace, on a low i obsesse about features of myself think im fat and ugly compare my self to people hu on a high i feel im better than. on a high i walk down thje street with say (name removed) and (name removed) and think yep their ugly they aint got shit on me and also on a low i then compare myself to the same people and think their then better than me i look in the mirror and see diffrent people i have so much confidence on a high i literaally can and do acheive alot on a low i cant seem to acheive anything o much confidence on a low i have no confidence on a low i feel i cant acheive anything i acheived when i was ona high i can get very frustated by my moods changing. on a high i can do so much i keep the flat so clean can do anything feels so diffrent to a low were iev feel simple tasks like hygeine a real struggle and can be very neglectful of myself and my home . no matter how hard i try my moods effect alot of things i always wish to be normal i see others my age working having familys getting married getting engaged i struggle with all relationships i really struggle to deal with them. on a high i can and do get myself into trouble i do things that i know i shouldnt do and are also degrading to myself but dont think about the consequences they dont even enter my head . towards the ends of a high i can get very tired and feel as i havent stopped which i think is proboly the case i feel the need for little sleep and am on the go my mind races from thought to thought and i also become obessed . on a high i dont seem to see danger (name removed) used to say i would thrive ion dangerous situations when im high . on a high my life gets better im so hopeful about life i push myself but struggle to meet everything ive done and stryuggle to carry on with what i was doing when i was on a high on a high i can feel very sexually active were on a low i wont feel the need atall . . my life can never stay stable no matter what . my pregancy with (name removed) i thought on more than one occasion that i didnt want to live thankfully i didnt do what i had planned but the same suicidal thought were their i cant rember if i ever self harmed when i was pregnaunt with (name removed) shortly after i becaame withdrawn from (name removed) i fekt irritable i began self harming and drinking i went down hill pretty fast. after(name removed) preganancy i felt alot more stable it was so diffrent to (name removed) after giving birth to evie i felt very high after an hour if not less i had had a shower put my make-up on attended to (name removed) and was folding clothes very motherly ! so it seemed id tpook well to motherhood this time i stayed high for a few more weeks i can remember (name removed) saying calm down you have just had a baby i seeked help from my counciller before (name removed) was 3 months old i can remember drinking abit with (name removed) when the kids were asleep i started to smoke weed again i was also sleeping around with men again . i thene moved to xxxx where things drastically went down hill again i started drinking not alot at the start i felt so down and alone i then went on to royally **** things up i had brief okay days mostly bad from what i remember i was self harming again i was not coping i did however report not feeling great to social no help was offered i continued to go down hill i watched as my life went from bad to worse And that there, is a person spilling her feelings, her struggles, her moods and how her MH had taken over most of her daily life, her relationships, her fear in admitting and recognising her struggles but feeling unable to do anything because her MH is the driving force for everything she thinks and feels and does. The telling thing, among other issues is in her last sentence. "no help was offered".

Freshwater

I'm thinking of getting an aquarium, a starter or small one. I was wondering how difficult/easy they are to maintain, what kit I need and what plants to put in it etc. I'm sure some on here have an aquarium and could give me some pointers?

Not as leading/senior clinicians in A&E, I doubt.

As someone who has worked in real life medical emergency situations, Casualty is unbearably bad at accuracy/believability.

He was way past retirement age, anyway.

That's just how they normally talk.

I was thinking the same. Maybe few people actually have "feel good" experiences from seeing someone else's good experience. Or are maybe too stale to appreciate them? Maybe it's good for some but "meh" for others. And the video you posted is a good example. It means more to some than it does to others. It's subjective.
