Hello The Devil Made Me Do It. I am so sorry to hear of your difficulties and can really only reiterate what others have said. MIND often have advocates would, they perhaps be able to help you in your dealings with Mental Health Professional? I have been very fortunate with services here. Although I don't need a CPN I do have pychotherapy on the NHS and the crisis team were excellent when I needed them in 2008 but sorry I know that doesn't help you but just to show there are some good services available. Anyway I do hope you will be able to get the support you need! x

Ha anyone seen Sazbo or Gilly since their big day? Were they due to go on honeymoon anywhere? Bahamas? Hawaii? Australia? St Albans?

:wave: a one arm wave hello from me!

Thanks for all your wishes, the wrist is still aching but not as painful, the cast is getting hot and the itches have started. A ruler was very handy for scratching!

Got my hospital appointment tomorrow for my throat, not looking forward to it. A kind friend taking me as its not at my local hospital.

Feeling bit as my cat's tumour now very large, she is still very happy and enjoying life but I may make that awful decision very very soon . If she still with me in just over a week I may decide then as I'm off work for a week and know I won't cope when I lose her.

Hope all as well as you can be.

I am going to have to pluck up the courage to tell my worker at MIND that it's not working. Been putting it off for weeks & I think it's time to bite the bullet and maybe ask to see someone else who may have a different approach.

Don't know whether I need a CPN or not to be honest. However, since I don't have access to the Psychiatrist anymore, I do feel I'm left to float along without a paddle & it's not easy getting to see my GP due to the way the appointments system works & the fact that she only does a few hours a week.

I just don't think it's fair that my partner is left to cope with no support, our relationship almost feels like a patient/carer relationship which isn't good for either of us.

Hi guys!
How is everyone? Anybody got any exciting plans for the weekend like.....ooh, I dunno.....like GETTING MARRIED! for example?
Oh yes sazzy and badgie, I haven't forgotten about you!

I know it's late in the day for Tiffy to be posting but being Fur-iday, , I went through the sheep dip and then headed into town for my annual appointment with the sheep shearer. Bit chilly around my southern exposure! And no before anyone asks, there aren't any piccies!
So really this is just a pit-stop to say hi and that I'm thinking of you all. I haven't forgotten anyone, just a bit tight on time is all. I've yet to have the pleasure of answering your lovely pm-s in my mail box and to tormenting miro. Aah - it's going to be a great weekend!
And extra hugs on their way to shaz, alison, twinkle, pipkin, elfin, ccstar, ruby, ettie b, jennie, mousey and t.
Wishing everyone a good evening - 'til the morrow then.
Be kind to yourself guys.
Much Love,
Tiff xxx

Hi beth!
How's life treating you sweetheart? It's always good to hear from you, beth.
I want to thank you so much for thinking of me and especially for the saucers of cream and catnip! I'm a growing pusscat - though not in a good way! - and I need to keep my strength up for the beating of her sazzyness when she gets back!

Hi Tiff! :wave: Hope you're ok. Ive been and voted and OH and daughters will do it later. Important to vote I think - I always vote in the local ones too. Got a headache this morning so need an early night and no booze, so I definitely won't be staying up to see how the voting is going! I'll just wake up to the news tomorrow.

Oh right - so it was all your fault then!

I know exactly what you mean, Tiff, about that low point you reach and can only just manage to function each day. I really hope things are better for you now and that you are starting to pick up again. Glad to see you back!:T

Thanks for your kind wishes angel - it means a lot to me. The trouble with low points is that sometimes it can be a while before you realise that you're in the middle of a bad one and then it suddenly hits you. Yes, you know you're struggling but maybe don't have a clear picture of just how much. That's when you realise just how far you've fallen and seeing that makes the journey back seem even longer. But I'm trying to take it all just one step at a time, which is hard to do when the world won't stop to give you a chance to catch up and people keep hollerin' for smarties!
I hope all is well angel - be kind to yourself.
Much Love,
Tiff xxx

Hi gem!
I really missed you too, gem hunnie! Oops sorry - that was more of a bear hug than a cat hug! How's stuff?

welcome back Tiff:jgreat to see you posting again.

Thank you for your kind concern and lovely posts, gem - it really touched me and it makes such a difference to know there are people out there who are generous enough in spirit to remember you and to care. I've thought of you often - and in a good way too! - and I'm glad you're still here to come back to.
Well done you on your awesome detective work regarding the discovery of the sazzy and badgie nuptuals!
*sneaky...mutter...mutter...escaped...new hat...wedding...sheep...mutter...*
And you're still a member of T.A.S. too?! That's extra smarties and cake for you then, gem! Don't worry - I'll take it out of sazzy's quota.
Seriously gem, thank you for all your support and don't forget we're here for you too.
Be kind to yourself hunnie.
Much Love,

Hi lm!
'Hey' right back at you, hun!
How are you, angel? I hope the glandular fever is now just a distant memory and that things are still going well with you and sammich.
Talking of which, I saw your tag-line...

Thank you for the shout out, hun - it's good to be back, though don't go thinking that means I've gone soft with you all! The smartie cupboard is now back under the Tiffster's control!
