| I was in the city, heading towards the train station, when an old homeless guy in a wheelchair yelled out to me (there were plenty of people around, I don't know why he picked me) asking if I would push him to the train station. I was going there anyway, so I thought why not. So once we were near th... |

| Wow is that old electric shock thing I didn't even know they still did that Electro-convulsive therapy. Yeah, they still do it, though it's improved a lot since they first started doing it. I lost a year's worth of memory when I had it, but nowadays memory loss is minimal. That's a pretty bad injur... |

| I'm childfree. My three sisters have all had kids, my twin had 3 of them. From an early age she always had dolls and gravitated towards anyone that had a baby. I was the complete opposite. I'm happy to have had no children but I do sometimes wonder who'll look after me when I'm old and need the care. |

| My longest stay in the nuthouse was three months back in 2005/6. I ended up having ECT because I'd tried a lot of antidepressants and none worked. I ended up feeling better and most importantly, got my sense of humour back. |

| For the past year my interest has been postage stamps. Before that I went for years without having any special interest. So it can happen that you don't have a special interest, there's nothing wrong with that. |

I've lost 4kgs in the last month, hooray!
Part of it might be due to upchucking for 5 hours during the night two weekends ago. My flatmate and I caught a bug from somewhere. She was sick first then 24 hours later it was my turn. Never been so ill in my life. Took me a week to recover fully. |

| Which medical procedures have you been afraid of and how did you get over it? I am afraid of an unsedated Colonoscopy It has to be unsedated because I don't have a driver I can understand your fear. I'd fear it as well. However, hasn't your sister given up her job recently? Surely she can find time... |

However, there was information about doing the pap smear yourself, i.e., taking a swab from your cooch and giving it to your doctor. I think I'll opt for tha... |

| My mum gave me low sugar caramel-filled chocolate eggs for Easter. I said to her that it was really thoughtful. I tried one of the eggs when everyone was having dessert. A lot nicer than I thought it would be. Next time we shop online, I'll look for low sugar chocolate because my mum bought the eggs... |

Stopped taking Seroquel because it caused weight gain. The doctor was going to write a prescription for further repeats but I was like, oh I'm not taking that anymore, I'm sleeping fine without it.
It was a small dose anyway. |

I know that it's possible to reverse it and go into 'remission', as my doctor said. My dad has had diabetes for over 10 years (he will be 80 in July) and he's healthy otherwise.
I wonder if the lady you knew used those plants as a supplement to other food, or she ate them exclusively. |
