Maybe wise words!

Perfect, thank you

I wouldn’t let you get banned

No, it’s pretty crappy

Yes, that must be very hard. Tom has never been mentally unwell or had a neurodivergent diagnosis but when he was physically seriously unwell we really didn’t cope with me needing to look after him and me needing looking after at the same time. It got very tricky

Correct. Going north-south is nearly impossible. The best I can do is a very slow bus from Carmarthen to Aberystwyth, but I’d have to take the train to Carmarthen first. Once at Aberystwyth you can travel onwards quite easily

Its pointless encouraging people to drive less when public transport is so infrequent and unreliable

Plus every Friday, Saturday and Sunday at the moment there are scheduled engineering works so rail replacement buses. I strenuously avoid going in on a Friday. I so miss TfL!

He had a year without work but that was more because I couldn’t find a contract. He’s happier when occupied

He drives. Less stressful. The trains here are just awful, I sort of dread going to meetings in person because there are so many delays and cancellations. I’ve put in 5 compensation claims this month and I only took 7 trips

Good for him!

Oh brilliant. We’re not getting out much as we are both working FT and I’m going an extra day a week. Plus Tom is working for a council in England and is away Sunday lunchtime until Tuesday evening. Next week he has to be there Wednesday and Thursday too

It was good to see you, how’s Dave?

So early!

Hi Karen! You accidentally mistyped the hashtag so not sure if @magicalbeing.bsky.social saw you. Sorry things are tough right now #MadSkyChat

I just chose mine because he was the only one taking NHS patients, but he’s stopped his NHS work so I’ve had to become a private patient anyway #MadSkyChat

Oh god yeah it would definitely have to be with someone very well-trained, experienced and knowledge about things like risk of psychosis
