Had a much better day.

The building work was mostly quiet. So got more peace.

We went to show the car to our son and had another test drive. Fingers x'd it is OK. It was nice to spend time with him. Looked at other cars to compare for the next car we want to buy, but not yet! It is hard work, especially when it dies on you and need to rely on someone else. Our son has been accommodating this week, so the meal was a reward and was nice to have the work done for me, so I could really enjoy it:).

Hi CCS - glad to hear you had some peace at least and that you got to spend some time with your son. You were long overdue a break all that noise and stress. xx

Hi Sazzy
Here's your 's' back hun - just typing too much that night is all - you've not been speyed angel:eek: ...yet!:rolleyes: :rotfl:
I won't tell you counselling is an easy path hun. You're there to get help with things and naturally talking about them is upsetting. But it is so worth it!
TIFFY TIP -I started to take 2 headache tablets BEFORE I went as I knew I'd come out looking like a bloodhound and with a banging headache due to all the emotion it brought up for me.At least the paperwork's done now
Have a terrific Tuesday.

Simone - I would definitely make a point of checking back with your GP, once he has written to them; ask him to double-check that you have been put back in the list at your original position. Maybe better if he calls them to check, rather than, as you point out, having to rely on the 'vagueries' of the postal system...

I am going to make an app in a weeks time and ask him to ring them or give me a contact no to find out what has happened and how long i may be waiting.
If the dr has decided that i dont do well on meds then surely i need to be seen quicker!?!?
I know i cant go on like this for much longer or ill pop!

Morning everyone, hope you are all good
Not had a chance to read thru the posts, hopefully will be able to go back and have a gander.
Feeling low today. Last night was really hard - very very low.
Still low today, and dying for a drink.
Talked to OH yesterday, he says I'm allowed to drink, but no more that 5 pints worth - leaving the drinking till the afternoon, otherwise I'll go passed that.
Yeah, I really don't know what to do, feel I'm being pulled in all directions.

Morning fg. I'm sorry you're having a hard time of it hun, really I am. I'm the very last person talk about using alcohol to cope, lord knows in the past I've been known to do it myself. And in any case I'm not a professional. But is there someone maybe you could talk things through with this afternoon - a good friend perhaps who can listen but is not directly involved in your present situation? Just trying to think of a way you could find some positive support this afternoon fg hun, that might shine a little light on the path for you? Please take care of yourself today, I'll be sending positive vibes whenever I get the chance xxx

Absolutely, I agree. Be sure to get that point across to him, his duty is to help you after all.

Angel, I'll be 42 Christmas Day and although Rosie and Saz and some of the group (just kidding) think that this is the same as being 62, I haven't finished changing yet!

:rotfl: LOL I've only just spotted this Tiff - I'm only a year younger than you - but yes I do think it's the same as being 62 :D Only kidding! I still haven't grown-up (and by that I'm not referring to the fact that I'm only 5ft tall ) - I'm still learning and changing, in fact I hope that never stops!

I've not really got anyone to talk to, sadly.
Well, theres someone, but I can only talk to him of an evening, and OH is home then
I'm just trying to block everything out of my head, just trying to get from one minute to the next.
Talked to OH again last night, he still thinks working would fix me. What annoys me is that he has an answer for everything - if I mention that I had nightmares, or a panic attack or anything, he'll brush it off cos I watch a scary film, or I did this or that. Always got an answer. He's convinced that working would be good. I tried to ask him what would happen if I just couldn't get out of bed - he answer "you just have to". He can't understand that sometimes, no matter how much I want to - I just CAN'T do something.
Ahhhh well. I'm just going round in circles.
I'm starting to wonder if he does actually love me.

I've been on the receiving end of that kind of attitude myself and it is so unhelpful it's not true. It seems that some people either cannot, or will not, acknowledge the root of someone's problems, perhaps because to do so means having to face the fact that there is a problem, if that makes sense. Forgive me if this has been discussed previously on this thread, but do you think relationship counselling might help?
