Hi all, I'm a HCA that's been on my ward for a few years. Lately I've felt my depression is struggling (in some ways it's better, I'm at the point where I'm slowly trying to take steps to work on it). I've seen occ health when I started for other health issues, didn't really speak about my mental health but it was known I'd had a rough year.

I know all trusts are different, I've looked through our intranet and can see a few services and teams for support, not entirely sure who I should be contacting but at this point I just want to raise it with my manager/team leader so support is there if I need it. I also had an ADHD diagnosis recently and been medicated. I don't know what to expect, I d

I have access to my GP records and most the letters etc sent from docs to GP, I believe including my discharge summary but the surgical notes were very brief.

This is just from curiosity, not a medical need - I had brain surgery nearly 5 years ago, I moved and am not under the same surgeon now for my follow ups but I was wanting more info on the surgery itself. I was going to contact the hospital via their request to access records but I don't know specifically what I should ask for and what they will have. Like will it have more details about what happened during the surgery, how long it was, my time in recovery, my time in ICU/HDU/wherever I was etc.

I'm planning on asking for anything

I rescued my boy at the end of last year. He was a really timid boy, former street cat. He's warmed up massively now, loves a lap and pets. But he's still easily scared and jumps. Sudden movements scare him, I haven't gotten close to picking up, I tried a couple times to wrap a blanket around him but the moment I lifted it he would run off. I have his carrier out and would put food in there to get him used to it, he sometimes would go in but keep both his back legs out so going that way would still need some force..

I gotta take him to the vets tomorrow, I feel terrible because however I do this he will hate and resist. So far all I can think is be really quick wrapping him in a blanket

When I boot up my PC and log into windows, my screen will flicker for roughly a minute or two. The screen is black with the taskbar/cursor flickering on and off. This only happens on start up and AFTER logging in. I can CTRL ALT DEL and that screen stays on fine, I can get task manager up but it also flickers. If I leave the PC on without logging in for a few minutes, I won't get the problem after logging in.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling drivers multiple times, it's been happening for months. It happens in safe mode before/after I uninstall drivers. It happens on multiple monitors. I can't try with another card and this one doesn't seem to have integrated graphics. At a loss wha

Upgrading my Sony Xperia Z1 after 4.5 years. UK.

Looking to spend under £400, all round phone with a good battery, like a decent camera but don't need anything top of the line, good fingerprint scan (seen a few reports of bad ones?), good connection for bluetooth and decent lifespan. Play the occasional game but not much mostly browsing.

Not sure if to go for another Xperia, also looked at Samsung A52s, Pixel 6a (but battery problems?), Poco X5 or Nothing Phone.

I had to change my Gmail password (on PC), got the notif that it would stay logged in on my phone, which it has, but the mail app wouldn't load my emails. When I go in it gives me a message can't log in/to verify. I click on it to go update the password but it just has my email address and under authentication says it's signed in with Google, no where to change password. When I click done it just says log in error, check username and password.

I tried changing the password again via account settings and it went through but the mail app still won't change. How do I update it??

Back when I was in secondary, in English we got tasked with writing a letter to our favourite author. I wrote to Michael Morpurgo, this was a while back so don't remember what I put in but generic which my favourite book is and that kind of stuff.

I think most people didn't get a response, but I have a feeling some got a response which implied someone had at least read the letter. I got a terribly boring generic letter - thank you for being a fan, check out my website and newsletter etc. Frankly I would have rather not had any response at all.

I know most insurers don't cover pre existing conditions, and opinions vary on whether insurance is worth it or not - I want to look into it but would like to know if any would at least cover anything related to my boys FIV. Otherwise I don't know if insurance would be worth it if they tried to claim a new condition is due to/worse because of his FIV..

For me it's marmalade. It was never in my house growing up, I tried it as an adult. I love oranges and orange flavoured anything. But holy shit it was so BITTER I was disgusted. Maybe a bad make. Tried a few times since and nope, always horrible.

Hi all, not too sure where to begin with this and don't know if I'm doing something wrong honestly! I got a rescue cat about 6 weeks ago. He is roughly 4, was on the street for 2 years then been in a few foster homes. I was aware he was very shy and takes time to settle. He's indoor only due to health (FIV) but no problems.

Initially he was hiding all the time, over a few weeks he got a lot more confident. In the day, if I lie on the bed he will now often let me pet him and come over to lie on me, loves being pet, butt scratches, just being lazy lol. His routine roughly - he sleeps in a corner next to my bed (he has a dome bed he can hide in, mostly just lies in front on his pillows/blank

Hi everyone! Recently got a rescue cat, about 4, he digs a lot and I find his litter tracks quite a lot outside his tray (it is a hooded one). I'm using bio catolet but it's quite light and as it is hard to tell when it's wet (and it all basically gets mixed up when he digs..) it tracks.

I tried catsan but found that worse and horribly dusty.

What's something reasonably affordable, good for not tracking and not full of dust?
