See how you feel when you get up BZ?

sakara, it's good to be able to vent when you need to and to people who understand.

raeh, no answer yet from s/e. Am wondering if it would feel stalkerish to try to track her down in phone book and write to her? What do you think? I would just like to know that she's OK.

Cwta (I asked) you're such a stalker personality!
And I've arranged with SIL that we'll decide in the morning...I'm currently tucking into MIL2B's hotpot...yumyum.

Sakara that's what we're here for! We can all get a bit doom and gloom at times...we're entitled

Thanks for the welcome and hi to all.
:dance:
Took a while to join in with you bunch - just overcoming a dark patch - real low - life sucks sort of feeling.
Agree with others that your quality of life is zilch - hence finally got to go and get sorted - someone has a good sig on the forums - sick and tired of being sick and tired!!

Yep still working - only PT - few hours a day. Wish I could do more (money would help!) but think I will never be able to do FT - shame - i am only 36! Try to hang on to job for as long as I can - did consider jacking it in but already swapped office work for manual work (which I prefer really)

I am a big fan of comedy - specially stand up stuff - into Jimmy Carr and Micheal McIntyre and the like - perfect tonic and makes me feel alot better - always does. Bit of mind escapism. Increases serotonin and a good belly laugh is prob the nearest to exercise I could do sometimes!
Not sure Arther Askey does it for me - will always think of the sketches in the Fast Show!

people mentioning Lush stuff - my DD she is 9 and a star - bought a bar of bubble bath - smells fab and makes loads of bubbles also got me the snuggest blanket in the world! Lucky to have her and she is knowing me so well!

Hope to pop by and share thoughts and giggles - would be good and if yer feeling blue always has a good ear for others!

Keep warm and movin!

I wish humour helped me. Doesn't always. I guess I'm just *waves hands* today... the brainfog has been steadily getting worse in the last few weeks, and I just... ugh. Feels like I'm losing half my personality with the loss of my short-term memory and concentration, and I hate it.

oh babes - that was me a few months ago - I found go with the flow and don't feel bad about it. Hard to do - easy to say I know. Plus use the excuse of winter to snuggle and you are all still there - just hard to get out. Knocks it out of you - but you will be back. XX

Someone said they are worried about their IB - don't worry you will not lose it - current claimants will not have to change to ESA for a while yet - will be phased in slowly - so please do not dwell and make yourself poorly worrying about it. XX

No medical advice is given on this thread. If you are unsure how to take any medication you have, consult your doctor.

Sakara, babe, it's good to see you over here! *waves and huggles* Like I said earlier, best of luck. Maybe try printing out a symptom list and showing it to them, might get through their thick skulls...

Thanks, all of you. I think what's frustrated me most about even trying to get proper treatment is that there seem to be so few professionals who have any idea about trying to manage FMS and comorbid bipolar disorder - let alone when said BPD is very atypical in its patterns, for that there seems to be no one in this country. :-/ It's... I don't know. If they treat one right the other gets worse, and it seems like they can't even get one to be handled at the moment. Frakking incurable conditions of crapness...
