📅 Daily Check-in - May 28, 2026 💭 Reflection: "I was in bed on time and fell asleep very quickly. The dog woke me during the night. I'm feeling a little flatter than I do normally and it could be down to the fact that I had a full on day yesterday starting at 3:30am. I had been on the go, ticking things off, ever since and wound up at 6pm last night. My focus doesn't feel as strong as it should be given that I made it into bed by 9pm. Today I will focus on pacing myself throughout the day especially as I have a work meeting (and I haven't had time to do much of it) and I have a coaching practice session this afternoon. My win is the fact that I made it into bed by 9pm. My challenge for today is protecting my energy levels - here's hoping it goes to plan!" 📊 Wellbeing Scores: ⚡ Energy: 4/10 🔥 Motivation: 5/10 ⭐ Average: 4.5/10 ✅ Activities from yesterday: 🛏️ Good Sleep 💧 Stayed Hydrated 🌬️ Breathwork 🌿 Grounding 🥗 Healthy Eating 🍺 No Alcohol ☕ No Late Caffeine 🥩 Hit Protein Goal 🥦 Ate Vegetables 🍳 Home Cooked Meal 📚 Reading 🧠 Learning 🎓 Online Course 👥 Quality Time 👂 Active Listening

📅 Daily Check-in - May 27, 2026 💭 Reflection: "I feel deflated today. I went for the proofing for the prosecution. I thought that maybe I wouldn't be asked to attend court and give my evidence, but yes, sadly so I will be. Gosh, it brings up old feelings. It's PTSD from when my poor mum was involved in a case against a lady and I was only young at that age and because of her understanding of English and her written ability, I stepped in and did it for her and I think I actually took on a lot of her grief because of it. So basically that's good to acknowledge that, but on the other side I need to think to myself, this is all an individual situation and this is a different situation and to try in a way to put it into contents and just follow through."

After the heat of the day, I found myself in the garden at 10.30pm, just sitting with the dogs. It was so much cooler and it was lovely from the humid heat of the day. I decided to get my pruners and started cutting back the weeds. It felt so calming and without all the day time noise. I thought if I write this on here, you may all think I had lost the plot but Google tells me lots of people do it! so I am not so crazy. I do have floodlights and the only thing I would advise, if you try it, is get plenty of insect repellent on you as I didnt and am regretting that! But it could be a new way for me to chill after a hot day

Can anyone please advise me, in the UK when a psychiatrist does an assessment through the NHS, what is the procedure after the assessment? I had an assessment and I was told I had to be referred back to my GP for an ECG and blood tests. My eldest daughter was sent a list of drugs and what the side effects were. She was also referred back to the GP for an ECG which she has now had. My youngest daughter was assessed and on the same day they sent a prescription to our pharmacy for meds. She was not asked to have further tests and has not received her report from the assessment. I read that you should not take the meds if you have thyroid.issues, but my youngest was not told that or asked if she had thyroid problems, She has not taken the meds but we tried to follow it up. The psychiatrist who assessed her was only on the zoom assessment for an hour and it seems very rushed. After she queried this and the psychiatrist phoned her and literally blamed my daughter for not saying she had thyroid problems and that my daughter told her she wanted the meds. She really upset my daughter as she is the doctor and should have done her job properly and not twisted things. Since this telephone call I have received 4 text messages, one saying what the meds are for adhd and what the side effects are. Another text saying I don’t need an ECG or blood tests but I can go straight onto drugs. Another text saying let us know whether you want to go ahead with the meds. And the 4th one just asking me to reply. I don’t know if they have sent those to me for me or whether they should have been sent to my daughter or whether they are trying to cover their mistake. I don’t know if t should make a formal complaint or whether this is normal or what the protocol is, so if anyone can please let me know their experience that would be helpful
