I have my first PIP assessment tomorrow morning over the phone. What should I expect?

Hi,

So I have an appointment tomorrow for a PIP assent over the phone. I’m autistic and would like to know how the assessment will go, what kind of things they ask and how long it normally lasts. I know it’ll probably be different for everyone but I’d like to get my bearings a bit more.

Thank you ☺️

GEDmatch k36 results from 23 and Ancestry. From England

I’m from England with a Welsh great-great grandfather. Can’t find anyone else non-English. Are these results normal?

TW: self harm and suicide. Has anyone ever been to inpatient treatment before?

Hi so it’s all a bit fresh and raw at the moment and I’d like to not really get into it right now, but I attempted to take my life yesterday. I was discharged from hospital after about 12 hours and I’m sat at home today absolutely miserable. I don’t know if I’d attempt again, I don’t think the chances are zero, but they are very low. I just feel miserable outside of it in general.

I am deemed to have capacity and the option for me to go to inpatient care is there. Is it worth it? Do you get your own private room? Is it in a hospital? What do you do?

Is this psychosis??

I can’t bear to write what’s made me feel like this, but significant stuff has happened. Lately I feel like every video I see or hear or whatever is just like a personal message to me and me only. I feel like everything is fate or specifically meant to speak to me. Videos, photos etc. Going through a breakup and I feel like these manifestation videos are actually going to work, for example, or the fact that I’m thinking about someone means they’re thinking about me. Or the way someone spoke to me earlier is a good sign etc. signs. It’s so weird.

Am I cracking the fuck up?

ETA: I spoke to a close family member. They advised sleep and we can reevaluate in the morning.

Has anyone ever used the 111 MH crisis line?

I didn’t know where else to post for advice, but I’m thinking of calling them for some support but would like to know a bit more about how it works x

Is it worth trying ADHD meds?

Hiii, so I’ve been ADHD-C diagnosed for a few years now and I was recommended to start Atomoxetine (non-stimulant, not allowed stims due to other MH issues) and I declined it at the time. Now that I’m older, I’m considering asking to try the Atomoxetine to see if it helps with my mood fluctuations, concentration, and addiction issues (alcohol).

Does anyone have any experience with this particular medication or have any anecdotes of their own with refusing meds, but then deciding to try them?

Of course, I will be consulting with a medical professional about this too.

Thank you

Wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a dark brown, but not black, hair dye that won’t fade to a reddish colour afterward. My natural colour is a dark mousy brown, with reddish undertones.

I did use a dark brown by L’Oréal once but it came out almost black, and then faded to a point where it looked bright ginger in the sun.

Anyone know any dyes that don’t do that? I’d love a dark chocolatey colour, but I’m not sure what to pick. Would an ashy toned colour stop it fading to red?

Help! <3

Thank you
