    :hello:Everyone,

    Morning! Hope all is well,I have some great news to share,I have gone back to my boyfriend and we are trying again this time more slowly :) I am really happy,as I said yesterday whilst apart I still cared for him and loved him and my friend said you have to accept people as they are and that struck a cord in me and that was the night I didnt sleep well as thoughts had raced in my head.Anyway we are both happy,he was hoping I would come back to him as each phone call I had done to him he had asked me as he was never over me,In fact I am lucky and I am sure whatever problems we have,we can share and work them out together.

    Thanks for being there for me every one :)

    Hes coming today to see me as I want to see him as he wants to see me.

    welcome to the thread Vicki you have come to the right place :)

    love and light,

    hi. I eventually got a sleep around half 4 this morning, and then had to be up at 7 to get my wee boy ready for school. Needless to say, i'm def not working today. I've made a doctors appointment for later and think that maybe printing the letter out would be a start. its scarey tho,
    thanks for listening x

    Hi Vickiv,welcome to the board,well done for making the doctors apointment.I know it is scary but hope you manage to give the doctor the print out, maybe thinking of your boy will help,he deserves to have a healthy mummy,keeping my fingers crossed for you.

    Hi all,

    I'm really happy for you Katie, I hope you have a great future together.

    Hi shaz, glad you posted, I've been wondering how you got off, look after yourself, hopefully you'll feel a lot better soon.

    I hope everyone has had a good day today, I've got to go out this evening so I won't be around until late.

    Mouse, you're putting me to shame with your keep fit, I've asked my O/H to get a Tandem exercise bike so I an sit on the back, but he's not having any of it ;)

    Hi, and thanks for the all the welcomes.
    I did print the letter out, then forgot to pick it up when I was going to the doctors. But I did tell the doc that I was being forcibly sick, rather than having a food intolerance. Also said that the beta blockers are not really doing a thing to help with anxiety.
    She has said that i'm showing signs of depression, and this is all cause of my eating disorder. She wants me to go back on my old tablets but I really dont know?? I hated the way they made me feel, it was like being numb or detached? But she said that instead of that being the result of the tablets, maybe that was a symptom of my depression. ?? Also, said that by me not telling anyone about how bad my sickness is getting, then that is me detatching myself from people.
    I've got to go back on Thursday for another appointment and talk some more.
    I honestly really dont know what to do for the best.

    Hello everyone, wishing everyone well. Had a bit of a stressful day running late for everything. Had an appointment at the diet clinic to day and was really worried I may have gained as after my bug I've had terrible cravings for sweet things and as I've been feeling so blah and sorry for myself I've given in to them. Also haven't been out walking much at all. But anyway I've lost a little bit so I was really pleased. Only trouble was I felt so stressed after my appointment I went and had one of those little italian custard pastries ( natas) and a cup of tea! Oh well. Anyway I'm off to my walking group tomorrow and hope to get back to my daily walking routine after.
    Here dead we lie because we did not choose
    To live and shame the land from which we sprung.
    Life, to be sure, is nothing much to lose,
    But young men think it is,
    And we were young.
