    I still feel like crap.



    I haven't seen them yet.



    I have asked him this. When we first met offline; (we knew each other for just over 6 years before meeting up) he told her that he was meeting me. (she knows we talk)

    When I went around to his a few weeks ago; he said she didn't know - she had just been taken to hospital. We talked last night and he said that she knows I've been around to see him. (well, I think he said "she knows someone has; who is around your age")

    He did say last week that she may not be happy about this - in a way, I understand this. So, if we do meet up when she comes out of hospital, we'll have to go to his office. (we're only at his because he has their son to look after)



    Only the two I don't really see - not because I don't see them; but because they haven't ganged up on me and accused me of stuff I haven't done or said.

    Sorry to hear you're still not feeling great :(

    Please be careful with this friend of yours. he is still a married man afterall, and although you may feel you are getting something from him right now, if you're having to hide your friendship, it will all end in tears and could make your illness worse :(

    Is there anyone at uni who you can discuss the housemates with? What possibility is there of moving?

    Have you thought that perhaps the situation with your housemates [although obviously not 'mates'], is adding to your illness?

    I do hope you can find a resolution to this, as it must be really uncomfortable where you are, right now :(

    Yes, you know what you're doing and most certainly know what I'm talking about.

    I don't know what you are talking about. Really. You are making me feel victimised though. I don't know why you felt the need to start this argument going again. I can see you always need the last word though.

    Yes it is. I ran away last night because of what happened with them. They only talk to me when they want to have a go at me.

    I have been told I need to apologise to one of them and that I need to stop being so rude. (ie, talk to people when they're around)

    I have emailed accommodation services at uni to see what they can suggest.

    beth - please can you just stop it? This is a support thread; not one to have an argument in.

    I really don't want to argue any more but Pipkin keeps accusing me of things that just aren't true! Im not being as sly as she says I am and Im just getting upset now. Im going offline now.

    As for your housemate, I really would contact the services at uni for their help. This isn't doing you any good. All the best.

    Hopefully they will be able to come up with something.

    How would you feel, if you had to move accomodation? It may be the answer.
    Who told you you had to apologise, hunny?

    Do people talk to you when they're around? Do they want you to talk first, or something.

    I really do hope you can sort this out, because it can have such a negative effect on your day to day life.

    See what accomodation services have to say. It's a start to hopefully resolving your housing issue at least :)

    I think moving is my only option. They always expect me to talk first. They also see no problem with me butting in and trying to talk someone when they're talking to someone else?

    One of the girls told me I have to apologise because of how I've been with them lately. Maybe if they didn't constantly moan at me and accuse me of stuff; I wouldn't have done what I did yesterday or Monday.

    :hello: Everyone,

    I am alright,Hi Tiffy,Sorry I havent been around much at the moment.Hello to Sh and to Sandy71 and to Pipkin too :)

    Shaz,Just read back and sorry that you have had problems and glad to hear the boys are getting respite care so that you have the break you need.This will do you all good :) Sorry about Ian too but you are being so strong about all of this as well.

    I hurt my back the other day and I have been in a lot of pain,but its easing since I went to the drs and I have torn a ligament in my back and also damaged the soft tissue as well a little bit.

    I saw my boyfriend last Tuesday and that was a lovely day.Not seeing him tomorrow until my back is completely healed and doesnt hurt so much.

    Night! Night!

    love and light,

    Katie xxx

    Evening all :) Hope everyone's doing ok. I was about to say thank goodness it's friday tomorrow because it's been a long old week, but then again I'm sure I said that last week! Me and gilly badger have been saying it all feels like a bit of slog, up at 6am, two hour journey to work, then work, two hour journey home, eat, go to bed, repeat the next day. And the next. Maybe it's the long winter nights making us feel a bit ho-hum. And making me crave chocolate!:D I've suggested we maybe take a long weekend away, maybe a break would recharge our batteries.

    But it is Friday tomorrow nonetheless, and for that I am very grateful!

    Hope everyone's alright. Shaz - how's things? Have you spoken to Ian recently? Pipkin I hope you got on ok at the hospital today. Tiff - we all love you and love reading your Chronicles - but please don't feel you can only post with something that takes a lot of work on your part - if you just want to come here and sound off that's ok too:)

    Going to chill out with some tv I think, before calling it a day. Enjoy the rest of your evening everyone :wave:

    Much love,
    Sazzy xxxxx

    ETA - Katie we posted at the same time! Sorry to hear you hurt your back - you take it easy hun and take care. Nice to hear from you though:) xx

    Does anyone else feel overwhelmingly sad when they see the suffering of other people? I can manage how I feel most of the time, yet there are these moments when I see something that just knocks it right out of me. It's happening pretty much every day recently. I work with the public and see a lot of vunerable people and I just feel so bad for them, some have too little money to live on, some are just alone in the world. I am just so powerless to do anything to help them, so I just wish there was something I could do to control how it makes me feel.

    Thinks aren't great here at the moment, obviously, been to the dr today and asked to be referred to a counsellor. Just want to feel like me again.
