My first three Airfix models

At the ripe age of 27, I decided to give these a go again after trying to do the db5 when I was about 10, and very impatient. Which ended up in the bin.

  1. DB5
  2. Spitfire
  3. Mary Rose

Not sure what to get for my next model. Any recommendations for tools, kit, and any tips would be very much appreciated. Glad I found this hobby!

20mg to 40mg

Hello!

Been on 20mg for nearly a decade, had a depressive episode last year so upped to 40mg, lasted about a week and dropped back down because of dreadful insomnia and dark thoughts. The 20mg did work fine for me, but is now not enough probably.

Currently in another bout of depression, really bad been signed off work for a couple of weeks and dr said to up it again so I have. 4 days into the new dosage and I feel…great? Mind is quiet. Very unbothered about everything at the moment. I do love this drug. Had dreadful anxiety the second morning after taking my increased dose, and I’ve been exhausted today but it’s only been 4 days.

I’ve been a bit less motivated, but that’s alright at the moment I’m not at work so I can just rest. But can I ask anyone for their experiences? Did the fatigue last a while for anyone else?

Thanks guys

PLEASE look before crossing cycle lanes, don’t be on your phone just walking out!

Came off down the C6 just now. Luckily all are okay, other than my scuffed up knee and sore body. Thanks to anyone who stopped to check I was alright. Sign for me to be a bit more careful going down there and not to trust any pedestrians eh!? And to ring my bell CONSTANTLY!

How can I make my managers life easier?

Hi, two of us on the team. My manager, and myself. She’s relatively new at managing to my knowledge and she’s doing a brilliant job. However, I feel like I keep slipping up. Whether that be a miss communication, a small mistake, which then she reacts to quite badly. I honestly never mean to slip up, they’re honest mistakes and sometimes haven’t received the brief correctly or have misunderstood what she’s said. I’m doing my absolute best to put everything in writing, but I fear this irritates her even more and pushes her the wrong way.

She goes very cold and passive aggressive. I understand she’s stressed but I’m finding it really hard to deal with, it could well be different things stressing her out and maybe I shouldn’t be taking it personally, but it does become quite hard not to. I dread going into work because I dread what the day will bring. What can I do to help make this better? Anyone got any experience?

Phone snatchers : Shoreditch/commercial street/old street

Just seen two instances of phones being nicked around commercial street. In the space of about 10 minutes. So PLEASE be extra careful if you’re wondering up this area. A ladies by two kids along Hearn street. Was on my bike so tried to chase them but vanished at the junction. I believe they went into one of the buildings at the top of Shoreditch high street just by commercial street junction. And a man’s phone was stolen by a bloke in a blue tracksuit in an electric bike, heading eastbound on commercial street, just by old street. Worst part is he went straight past a bloody police car! Tried to intercept him in the road but wasn’t fast enough.

If anyone reading this are the victims, sorry guys. However at least phones can be replaced. As long as you’re safe. If you’re the thieves? You’re the scum of the earth.

Relapsed after 8 years

28 now. Struggled a lot with SH in my teens and finally stopped with help of meds and life changes.

Last month I’ve felt dreadful, suicidal, just not with it and not myself at all. Work has been really stressful and I keep getting into trouble. Not by any wrongdoing, I work as hard as I can and work overtime to keep up with deadlines.

Got into trouble today, and I spiralled completely, couldn’t stop crying. Needed and outlet and felt trapped, you know when you’re paralyzed with it and you can’t talk? It was ridiculous how something so small triggered me. Anyway, relapsed. Felt better instantly, now just really disappointed that I can feel this teenager crawling back out of myself after so much hard work. I got through it before, but I use all those coping mechanisms still to this day (meds, exercise, running) and it’s obviously not enough. What now?

This one is for the bus drivers

Do you ever do a happy dance when someone doesn’t flag you down at a bus stop? Or when no one wants to stop and you can cruise right past? I think I would

To who saved my bike from Waterloo station today

Thank you so so very much. Got back after a day at work to grab my bike to cycle home and found it missing. Ended up in tears down the phone. Went and asked the station reception people, and asked what colour ot was. I was told two blokes had rescued my bike from a couple of kids trying to nick it. If this was you, thank you so much. I’ve learnt my lesson and will be using a beater from now on! Please get in touch if was you
