    Morning all.

    Cannot sleep :o

    Flatmate went away Friday, had a cold since Saturday :(

    Not seen anyone, done anything :( Had my cats who are great company and some text messages, but that's it. I would have gone out and done a little, only i've felt too unwell.

    Missed flatmate, just for the company and someone to talk too, although when she's here, I sometimes want to be on my own :o

    I knew I was lonely anyway, but this last week makes it even more obvious. I do try and connect with people, I just never do :o All I want it to wake up one day realising someone actually does care :o

    Anyway, enough babbling for one night :o

    Hope we are all well

    I've just gone back a bit through this thread and the old one and am I reading right - Saz and Gillette - together?

    :j

    Let me know when I need a new tie and my evening dancing shoes :rotfl:

    miro - and how lovely to see you, sweetheart!action-smiley-033.gif I'm sorry that you're feeling so poorly hunnie. I'm also sorry you're feeling so low angel - is there anything in particular that's making you feel low? What have you been up to hun? Be kind to yourself miro and I really hope that you feel better in all areas soon.sLo_hug2.gif


    Tiff :wave:

    Oh everything is making me feel low - just life :o Loneliness, inability to get and keep a job - everything :o

    I quit my work placement early as they weren't listening to my needs. They told me it was about helping me, but in the end it was about filling in spaces they needed filling :o

    I was due a medical, then 2 days before, I got a message saying it was cancelled and will be end of September, now they say November - I haven't a clue :confused: All the stress of that has done for me :o

    Good thing though is i've nearly finished my Xmas shopping, bar the food :T

    Just wanted to get it out of the way, especially if I end up losing money after the medical. Will start on the food that will keep, when flatmate returns

    I know you don't like being asked, but how is Tiff? After Saz and Gillette, I don't suppose you need a man in your life? :rotfl:

    Now where is queenswayboy when you need him ;)

    I shall reply to peoples PM's when I feel more awake - I am tired and ill, not a good time to be replying to anyone :o

    Hope all are as well as can be :j

    Hi bizzy!:hello:
    Lovely to hear from you again angel - welcome back!action-smiley-033.gif

    Hi all. A long time since I have posted. I am pleased to report life is a LOT better than the beginning of the year.

    After six months of Mum being housebound she is back up and about, not fully fit but at least she can escape these four walls. It was awful at times but the MRI scan showed it was just a badly ruptured disc. I say 'just' it was bad enough but it was good news in that it wasn't something worse, degenrative etc.
    The whole episode in turn made me stronger if anything. I am getting on well with my work and a distant relative, God bless him, remembered us all in his will which meant enough came my way to make life a bit easier for a while and certainly help inject my debt free wannabee vibe!
    Sending you all love and light xx

    That's great news about your mum, hunnie!sLo_hug2.gif I'm sorry to hear about your relative, bizzy. I'm glad things are going well for you and I think it's great that things have picked up so much for you.sport-smiley-001.gif
    I know we all support each other through really difficult situations here but sometimes, there are peeps who stop posting when things improve for them because they don't want to bring anyone down. But it's just as helpful that they do post when times are good, to let us know that things do change for the good and to give us that extra little bit of hope and determination.wink.gif
    I hope things continue to improve for you hun. Love and light happily received bizzy and returned to you with hugs.sLo_hug2.gif
    Much Love,

  • Had a scary experience last night.

    My flatmate came in at 3am and made so much noise that he woke me up. Then he went psycho on me, just because I asked him what he was doing, to make so much noise at that time of night.

    I'm going to get out as fast as I can. Tonight a friend is staying with me. This guy is someone with a very uncertain temper, and I don't feel safe spending two more weeks in the same flat with him now.

    Hi Everyone,
    Im sorry I havent been around. I have been really low last few weeks, well ever since I got back from hols. I had been on a high ,hard to explain really. Ive been acting like everything is ok and Im coping and feel like now Ive come crashing down again. I hate feeling like this as I end up neglecting myself. I havent been on here for the simple fact that I feel that low and I have nothing happy or positive to say. I dont want to bring ppl on a downer so its better I stay away. Ive only read last 2 pages so havent got a clue how everyone has been. I think of you all everyday and hope that everyone is doing ok. But Im just in that mood where I cant even be bothered to do anything.
    Im so exhausted. I have so much going and cant think straight and properly.I dont understand life! How can one person go through so much and still suffer with little or no luck?Why does life keep throwing stuff in our face and bring us to this point? I cant make sense of it all. It feels like a never ending battle. I always have this hope that oneday, life will get easier and I will overcome this deppression. But no, something always has to happen.I feel so stressed and under pressure. Im not sleeping or eating well either. I have been to see my gp and told him all that is going on. He has pushed for an urgent app for me for counselling. I have got so many different app's too which I cant keep up with.
    My anxiety has also got worse. I feel really scared and dont want to go anywhere. I feel like packing everything and going somewhere far and completly different, away from all the bad memories and people. But I cant do that as we have no where to go. DS is doing ok, Im worried he is being bullied and have spoken to his teacher about it. He has been frustrated recently and lashing out on me. He is so good 99%. Is it normal for a 6 year old to lash out at his mum? I really told him off for it and felt so bad and guilty afterwards.I dont like and am not use to seeing ds like that. It scares me him growing up. I dont send him to school to get hurt, I worry about him so much and feel so lost without him which is another reason Im on a low. I only feel at ease with myself when he is home. I am taking him to a football game next week but i feel so anxious an panicky. My panic attacks have got worse, Im so scared that sperm donor will turn up as last year when I took ds, my ex turned up at the game and he doesnt even support that team. How will I keep calm and act normally. Public transport terriefies me. So does being out in public. I cant cope with suitations like that. Last year when we went, I had so many panic attacks, I thought I was dying. You must think why am I going then if thats what happens, but am doing it for ds as I know I cant take him again as I wont be able to afford it. It would mean the world to ds.
    I have also had this huge worry hang over me. Since last year my smears(sorry guys) have been coming back abnormal. Before I went away I had a smear test again and when I got back the letter I was dreading was there. Its abnormal again which means I have to go for further tests. I have tried to put it in the back of my mind but ut was pretty hard after it was everywhere that jade goody had cancer.Maybe its my paranoia but I started thinking of the worse then quickly putting it out of my mind. All these weeks I have known I have thought about it everyday.. My app is next week. I really dont like the thought of the colposcopy. I dont have anyone to come with me. Im due on too so If im on the examination day, I will have to change my app which means more waiting. I feel all these years of smoking, being uncareful and irresponsible, I am now suffering the consequences. I really want to give up smoking as I want to live long and see ds grow up but with deppression, it adds on to your help and deppression.Im dreading counselling now, before I couldnt wait, now I dont feel like I want to talk about things.
    Im sorry about the long deppressing post. I just wanted you all to know and understand what Im going through and im kind of strugglying at the moment. Im going to try really hard to do something about these problems, I dont know how Im going to do it but I know I have to do something as I will just get worse. I dot like winter anymore. I wish it was summer with lots of warm weather and sunshine. Winters it gets cold, dark quickly, more crime, xmas, lots of expenses, shopping for xmas, rude and ignorant ppl,arrgghh the list can go on forever.....
    Anyway, Im waiting for ds's bed to be delivered. He wont sleep in it. he is to scared still to sleep alone after everything he has been through. But I am going to try even if it means me sleeping in his room for a while.
    Hope everyone is doing well, those that are not, keep fighting.Hugs
    xx
