Study Synopsis: Paranoia, stress and acute cortisol response.


The aim of this project is to investigate whether previous exposure to stress changes people?s response to acute stress and any other reactions for example paranoia. Research using participants from the general population have been shown to mirror what we would find in patients with psychosis. So, the information we receive from you may help us better understand the processes which are involved in developing mental health problems.


We are looking for participants aged 18-35 who do NOT have a history of mental health problems. If you choose to participate, you will be invited to complete a battery of questionnaires. These questionnaires will ask about your early childhood experiences, recent adverse events, your beliefs about yourself and the world, about your mood and about anxiety and paranoia. Furthermore, we will ask you about your use of illicit drugs as well as ?legal highs?. The questionnaires will be completed in private and are coded only with a number so your responses will be anonymous. We will take about 25-30 ml (5-6 teaspoons) of blood for DNA and cortisol levels. Your participation will last for no more than 1 hour and we will reimburse you for your travel expenses and time.


If you do not feel comfortable about answering some of the questions then you can leave those ones blank. You may also withdraw at any time.


The questionnaires cover sensitive issues and therefore it is possible that you may feel upset or distressed. All participants will be provided with a list of organisations to obtain support and advice from regarding issues that may arise in this study and can discuss this further with the principal investigator of the project.


If you are interested in participating or would like further information, please send me an email and I will provide you with a full information sheet and answer any questions that you have.


Thank you,

Natalia,

      Working from home - pros and cons

      By Sue · Posted

      I also recently waited 30 minutes to speak to someone at HMRC. First of all, they had indicated the wait time from the outset. Secondly, it is a very busy time for them,  with  the 31 January deadline looming. Thirdly, I might be confusing them with some other organisation, but I think they gave other options including for them to phone you back if you didn't want to hang on. Anyway, my main point is that I don't know whether the person I spoke to was working from home or not, but there was no background noise, she was incredibly sympathetic and helpful, and to my utter disbelief she extended the deadline for me to the end of March 😮  The reason was that I couldn't do my online return due to  my laptop meltdown, and had been told repair could take up to 28 working days. She thought that a deadline of the end of February might not be long enough  I was fully expecting to be told that it was my own fault for not getting the return in before. So credit where credit's due, basically. I've previously found HMRC staff very helpful in patiently  explaining in simple language stuff in the rules which I couldn't understand. As for working from home, I'm long retired from working for others, but I have both on occasion worked well into the night/over weekends to meet critical project deadlines,  and also on occasion skived. But in the first job I was being paid a lot, and in the second job I wasn't 🤣

      Loud Bass Dovedale Road

      By Sue · Posted

      I can't help with pinpointing the source of the bass, but I have found playing white noise helps to mask unwanted sounds, and it's also quite soothing (in a way). I ask Alexa to play white noise, which must make a nice  change for her from asking what the temperature and/or weather is outside, or asking her to sing the Doggy Song, which is usually all she does (present from my brother). But probably you can get a white noise app on your phone. Have you contacted Southwark Noise Control (?) who may be able to trace where the bass is coming from?

      Adam Richman eats football, Adam Richman eats Britain. So, asking for a friend, where the name Eats Dulwich came from?
