    What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.

    Didn't achieve a MAD last night, real life got too much and I didn't bother to be strong.

    I'm okay though, off to work now, got lots on, DD1 was sick at school yesterday so I have to take her to my mums, then DS to childminders then I can get to work. Was a bit frosty yesterday after handing my notice in *rolleyes*

    Oooh look at time :eek: better go :wave:

    Hello,

    I was on my way home, really happy, pleased with myself, with lots to look forward to. One letter received and I thought a) I need a drink, b) I am better off dead, c) my BF should dump me d) you get the idea BUT I thought then what is the worst that can happen and actually the worst is that I destroy everything valuable to me by allowing myself to spiral into dark hole mentally and physically. SO house IS AF, I WILL study tonight, I WILL go for my run tomorrow, my BF MIGHT dump me when he finds out that I AM going to buy that expensive running watch but it is very important to me and I just need to get that across to him.

    MAD as I am Shaggy it is 3 for me please.

    PS this weekend I also need to deal with ex again as he is due to take DD out, can I have some hand holding please

    That's the spirit - you feel bad, you recognize it, and you take positive action to make yourself feel better. In addition you prepare yourself for a tough time (this weekend) by reaching out for help
    This is emotionally intelligent behaviour - bravo you!:T

    Hallo all :wave:

    Had a MAD evening again yesterday, so a big 3 for me please, shaggy :)

    Hope everyone is well

    :DNeigh, neigh, and thrice neigh :D
  • Morning everyone
    Not AF yesterday; my OH brought in pizza yesterday evening and somehow beer and pizza go together so I had a can of lager. Just one can so I'm not going to beat myself up.
    Marru, not sure quite what has been happening in your life; you sound as though you are going through the mill but coping. As Graeme says "bravo you".
