hahaaa tbh the brain is fascinating but it hurts my brain to think about it too much :tongue:


yeah, there are three layers/maters - dura, arachnoid, pia. the dura is really fibrous AKA the tough mother. the arachnoid has the little projections AKA spidery mother. and the pia is really delicate AKA the soft mother. i love how they all relate back to latin :smile:

and thank you :colondollar: i wasn't sure how much detail to put in there cause I'm not sure whether you're as much of a science nerd as me :tongue:


I need to start studying my anatomy really, for the OT degree. :smile: So sciency goodness is very much welcomed! :tongue:
I hate my school sooo much right now.

You could email the people running the workshops and ask when the next one is? Or contact the disability support office if you don't know who to email. :smile:


Yeah good idea. I will email the SU and find out who is hosting it and see about going to the next one :smile:

I was supposed to be getting work done today but my brain won't function at all :frown:

Just the more basic stuff I think, but once you get a job there's a chance of specialising more either in physical or mental stuff (or a combination), so I might end up having to know a fair bit. It's closely related to physiotherapy in some aspects, so you need to know all about various injuries/illnesses/birth defects that might affect how someone would go about their daily life. :smile:

Time for COFFEE. :biggrin:
Starting my dissertation today: 'How can we investigate the role of genes in complex psychiatric disorders?'

So excited :biggrin:

Hoping to write the whole thing in 3 weeks. Probably a bit optimistic. I've done most of the background research.

"Some psycho-nutjob"? You mean someone who was very unwell, surely?
I spent a long time in hospital- you dont have to tell me what its like. :no: But sometimes, it's for the best. And it goes smoother if you work WITH rather than against the people trying to help you.


Someone with ASPD most likely. In other words, psychopath/sociopath.
Just got a caramel lattee. No regrets. :biggrin:

Sat at the train station and the woman at the other side of the bench has such a hearty laugh that the bench is shaking. Love it :smile:

oohhh, sounds interesting :smile: I've seen inside an OT room at a hospital but i hadn't thought about what they would need to study to become one :smile:

:hugs: Would also recommend trying to see someone :sadnod: Not fair for you to have to go through this alone :hugs: Available on PM too if you need it - sorta half-replied to last PM in tinychat I think? :redface: (and apologies for when I'm rubbish at replying... :s-smilie:)

Don't really feel like I deserve it if i'm being honest! idk :redface:

Yeah, it seems like a great career option for me. You get aspects of psychology, physiotherapy, nursing and stuff all rolled into one. :smile: And it's really focussed on the practical, helping people achieve their goals and further their independence.

Plus there's totally loads of opportunity for arts and crafts in the guise of being good for you. :ninja:

The OT at the hospital I was in was absolutely fantastic. :smile: She helped me so much and in so many ways! I cried quite a lot when I had to say goodbye to her. :colondollar: She's someone I'll never forget, and had such a big impact on my life. :smile: I think you've picked a cracking career to go into and I'm sure you'll be fabby at it! :biggrin: :hugs:

Aww thanks Tasha, that's lovely to hear. :smile: I'm glad she helped you that much, and probably helped turn you into the truly awesome person you are today. :tongue:
