  • hi, how's everyone doing as i havent been on in a few days?

    CCstar im sorry to hear about your family problems, are they sorting themselves out now? hugggss for you. families dont half cause some heartache sometimes eh.

    Shaz hugggsss for you too. maybe you could pay the doctors a visit and tell them about your chest pain. sorry to hear about your family probs too as no one should feel unsafe in their home. is there a reason why your son acts that way? if thats not to personal to ask and is there anyone impartial that could talk to him about his behaviour?

    ive had a rough week really, think ive mustard up the courage to contact samaritans now, had a long chat with my bf yesterday which helped.

    hope everyone is having a good weekend x
  • messedup i think its a good idea to look forward to working again, as being in the house all the time can add to the depressed feelings. your previous jobs was it something about them in particular that was stressful? or was it just events that coincided with these jobs? is there anything job wise you would really love to get into as that can add more positivity to it.

    i know at times when we're scared about doing something because we've had a bad experience it can put us off, but a new experience maybe something you'l love and you wont know if you dont try. for example i really didnt get on with counselling and was really against any talking treatments after that, but then when my GP suggested a therapist i was scared but i gave it a go and was glad to find the therapist for me.

    goodluck with whatever you decide to do.

    Won't be on for a while, can't face it.

    Suffice to say I am a !!!!ing idiot to think I would deserve happiness. So I don't have the energy to try now, I have kept getting my hopes up on things and having it ruined at the last second, every time.

    I'd write exactly how I truly feel but quite frankly the censors would have to use the !!!!'s too much for it to even be worth it.

    I hope everyone does well whilst I'm gone and that things get better for everyone.

    hi hun, i was admitted to hospital a couple of weeks ago, cos they suspected i'd had a heart attack, my ecg was irregular, but i have been told that before. son has sever mental health problems, including, depression, attention defecit hyperactivity disorder, conduct disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, have been told that when he reaches 18, he will most likely be diagnosed with anti social personality disorder too, as he has all the signs, but they say the personality can change and develop whilst they are still children, so he has to be 18 to get that one diagnosed, he is also on the autistic spectrum, and has learning difficulties, also he is currently being monitored, for tourettes, as he has a lot of body movement tics.
    to ease my chest pain, the docs advise is to stay away from stress, easy said than done when i have identical twins, with lots problems.,
    really sorry to hear your having a bad time, (((hugs))) hope the chat with the samaritans proves useful, i have rang them a few times in the past, and they've helped

    hugs

    im sorry to hear that, poor boy. is there anyone that can give you some support? my dad is full care and it got to the point my mum just had to call in for extra help. we've found as a family that you dont know what help is out there till you ask. but it sounds like your doing a good job in a difficult situation. maybe you could try and do little things for yourself when the kids have gone to bed to combat stress, a nice bath, read a book etc hugggssss for you, i really hope your chest pains will ease soon.

    whitevanwoman thanks for saying that, i needed to hear that right now.

    My cat who was ill last year (the one that survived) is going blind :( Vet says it is likely to happen pretty quickly but it shouldn't affect her too much as cats have other strong senses.

    Still upsetting though. Luckily she is an indoors cat, so she won't be killed on the roads.

    Sorry to hear about your cat Miro.As the vet said it shouldn't affect her too much and as she is a house cat she will know her way around the flat.Maybe it would be an idea not to move things around so she doe not get confused.It is quiet on here at the moment even Tiff has gone AWOL.If you are reading Tiff hope you are ok.

    feel so ashamed of myself, i use to SH an awful lot, and managed to give up.
    so why am i resorting to it again now??? feel such an idiot, my arms and legs are a mess, and we go on holiday for few days on monday.


    miro, sorry to hear about your cat, must be such a worrying time for you, as gemini says, at least she should still be able to find her way around the flat
