    Hi Everyone,
    Hope everyone is well and feeling well.
    Have been trying to catch up with the posts but Im very far behind so sorry for that.

    SF, are you ok? Saw ur post a few pages back and you was feeling down, sorry to hear that, hope your feeling better now.

    KentishLady, Im sorry to hear about your OH. I dont know whats happened but I just wanted to say thinking of you and you are coping remarkably well. Be proud of yourself.

    RBK, how are you feeling? Silly question I know, Im hoping your feeling better. I have been feeling really stressed and down too, cant see it passing soon as got so much on. Ive missed so many hospital appointments while Ive been away, its knocked me right back so now I have to wait months again. We have to be strong and fight this coz in the end we will get through these dark and horrible times. I promise you there will be good and happy times ahead, we just have to be patient and wait.

    Hugs to everyone, hope you all have a lovely bank holiday weekend.xx
  • OK.

    So here is my list of woes since the 19th July.

    1) 19th July - I've gone to Durham for a week and left house and DH in mums (not so) capable hands. Mum and DH manage to lose his bag with his medication in that he needed for his holiday up North.

    2) whilst I am away Mum manages to reverse my care into my neighbours causing £800 damage to mine and writing his car off.

    3) DH flips 2 weeks ago and police take him to hospital.

    Thats my 3 bad things right? Nooooooooooooooo.

    You know we were redoing the garden? Well a BIG hole has opened up under our new patio area. :eek: .

    I can't believe my luck. What else can go wrong?

    KL.

    (((hugs))) to rbk, hope you ok hun,
    been a long school holiday this one, and i feel like i am going to crack under the pressure some days, today being one of them days.
    shouldn't moan tho, cos overall this summer has been so much better than the last one, ex not being on the scene helps a lot as he caused so much stress and upset, and i finally put that behind me.
    hugs to all those that arn't feeling great at the mo
    shaz xxx
    enjoy life, we only get one chance at it:)

    glad your ok hun, im not to bad, feel exhausted but thats nothing new lol..
    Watched xfactor earlier and it made me cry as much as i didnt want to.

    KL, awww your going through so much, hopefully the worse is over and good things will follow. I havent got a clue about your garden. I wish i could help but my brains nt working to well so cant think of what could help cover the hole.

    Shaz hun, not long to go before kids are back at school. DS is bored but im dreading him going back, im going to be so lonely when he goes back to school. He is going to have a special needs teacher this time to help him with learning. I wish I could teach him from home instead. Well done for getting over your ex. I know its not been easy for you but you have done really well so you deserve a pat on the back hun.

    Katie, glad you enjoyed your game on the DS, I havent played on sons one for ages, I should as it keeps my mind occupied.Have you got the Zelda game?My son really wants that but dont know what its about.

    I should go sleep but heard a noise downstairs and to scared to go and check what it is, so now am trying to fight not to sleep.

    Night everyone, big hugs to u all.xx

    Hello all,

    I hope noone minds me keep popping in, guess it makes me feel a little better being able to vent even if it is to strangers.

    AB: I read your post a few days ago but haven't had the chance to reply. I understand what you said re: avoiding the problem, and I shouldn't be doing anything to please anyone except myself. BUT I do really want to do accountancy, I want to do it for myself not for them, so would I not better to jump on the bandwagon this September than waste another year? I'm so confused. Fortunately money isn't an issue for me - I live at home and pay minimal board, and have plenty of savings. Still, I would love to be at college and working part-time by xmas. Am I setting my hopes too high? I have felt scarily optimistic of late, it all feels too good to be true.

    Today I spent the day with my friend who was here visiting. We went shopping, I bought myself a couple of bits with some vouchers I had, and then had a couple of ciders which went straight to my head :S I haven't had anything alcoholic to drink since before xmas so feel quite bad about it... I'm sure it will make me moody tomorrow, but for now, I feel quite happy. I had a really nice day - the first nice day I've had in ages. Anxiety was quite low, and I managed to go out without a coat on (hate not wearing a coat... no idea why!)



    I meant to watch that the other day but thankfully (?) I forgot. IFor me personally I think ignorance is bliss when it comes to programmes like that, as I find them very very triggering, in a bad way :o

    xxxx


    Hiya, just wanted to say hi quickly before I go bed. Im glad you had a nice day. Dont feel bad for having a drink, it was a one off and you had a nice day so think of it in a good way. If you feel moody tomorrow, just have a lazy day indoors with your pj's on allday, it is sunday after all lol.
    I dont know much about your previous post so apologies, as much as I try to read every post, my head or brain cant remember all the details due to my medication and partly due to the depression. If its accountancy you want to do then you do that. You do what will make you happy and comfortable hun.
    Take care and chat soon.Hugs xx
