    Thank you all. This happened at 5pm and I haven't heard from him since. He isn't answering his phone and we don't have any relatives close by. I am so worried. I know I am hard to live with but I try my best. The doctor can't put me on AD's at the moment as they will interfere with my AED's and they are more important.

    My GP knows what is happening and he is great at listening but doesn't really do anything. It would probably be better for my kids if social services did take them away.

    The roads are terrible round here though and he drives like a lunatic when he is angry.

    My GP has talked to him and usually he is ok, its just tonight. I have never seen him so angry. I hate this whole thing and I know I will have a seizure soon and I'm scared cos i'm on my own

    You honestly shouldn't take things personally sandy.

    People will always see things differently, or question when something doesn't seem right. It doesn't mean anything, and if anyone is abusive, the abuse team will remove posts once notified :)

    When it happens virtually everytime I post I think I am allowed to get upset. I'm just so fed up with everything.
    This is one of the most supportive place I have ever been and it's one of the few places I can be myself. I don't want that to change but I'm getting scared to post.

    Honestly, don't be scared to post. I haven't come across many of your posts so no idea who says what every time you join in a topic, but, if this is where you get a lot of support, then you should be here.

    Perhaps, if you are upset, just post in here for a while, until you are feeling a bit better. Obviously, with the worry about your OH and what's going on with your life, things can seem bad whereas someone else, who isn't going through the same thing, wouldn't get so upset.

    probably easy for me to say, and I don't want to trivialise how you feel, but please don't be put off posting. People need to get support where they can, even if it is on a thread - I have met some amazing and supportive people through MSE :)

    Hi everyone ... Haven't had the energy to post properly for a while, still haven't really. Am supposed to be at the psych in the morning, but he was so horrid last time I can't face it. I can't help but think that it is as a result of his comments that I have returned to self harming (within a few hours of the appt!), and my immune system went so low that I have ended up with a nasty virus that could stay with me for months. Maybe I should go and give him my germs? :T

    Hope everyone is ok, I haven't had chance to have a posts catch up but will try to next time I can't sleep (tomorrow?).

    Special hello to sandy71, good to see that you are still with us. My 'bully' seems to have disappeared, hopefully those that you feel were against you will do the same too. ;)
    Gone ... or have I?
