Saucy I know those feelings so well and they are really painful and they can really grab hold of us and keep us down and you are worth so much more than living like that. Sometimes we need to go through periods of grieving before we can come out of that down place. When you feel like this do you resist the actual physical feelings and crying etc or do you let them happen. Some of the things we resist in order to be strong can be some of the most healing things. If we aren't used to letting ourselves do them it can be hard to access them.
On theother hand if you don't find it hard to let your feelings happen maybe you need to look at what you do once you've let them out. Sometimes letting them out provides just enough relief that we feel better enough not to take the more difficult steps that might start to improve things.
I would imagine on the vitamin D front there maybe things you could do that would help in a small way. even if its just sit outside on a bench somewhere with a cup of hot chocolate and get some sun on your skin.Start eating some vitamin D rich food and find out if there is any reason you shouldn't take a supplement off your own back.
You are your own person with your own worth and value that exists independently of what anyone esle thinks of you but its not always easy to know or remember that when you feel bombarded and under siege.

Oh hunny!

I really don't know what to say, it is really difficult when whenever you go to the hospital it is like chinese whispers, something new is always wrong and they dont know how to or just dont seem to want to fix it.

Tell OH how your feeling, really spell it out for him. The way I made my other half understand was saying "If you were made to spend the rest of your life with your balls stapled to your legs, could you carry on with your normal day to day activities?"

As for your family don't take their phone calls, as soon as they start being horrible hang up, your worth more than that! You sound like you need a girlie night, just to rant about everything and anything? Is there no friends you can invite over for a brew when OH is out? I wish I lived closer I would come over

Hugs hun xxx

might be worth a read for those looking to trade online....like me!

What does this mean, you need a 'brick and mortar shop' to be able to trade on the internet?:huh:

Wayne it is a suggestion that is not law or in any way a requirement at the moment. It does not stop you doing what you want to at the moment. By the time it ever came in you may have made your killing and moved on to something else.
You already have a job and some security i wouldn't let this worry you just now.
If you were giving up a full time job and investing thousands then it might be worth more indepth worrying about but for now I would just be aware of it and follow what is happening and see how your business goes.

You are so clever Jo...you are brilliant at giving advice.

It's everything really. There is a lot of personal things, I feel like I'm dodging knives at the minute, and it isn't helping that my health just seems to be in a downward spiral and the hospital seem to want to wait until I have to be hospitalized for a few weeks again before they try to help. Then there is the rent for here...it's an odd situation, and one I wouldn't normally be too worried about, but it's getting to me today. Probably because the way things are going, I don't think I'll be welcome at OH's much longer.

Plus my family have been in touch today, to remind me how rubbish I am, and that I'll always fail at everything. OH can't understand why it still hurts...it's every few weeks at the minute but it feels like a kick in the stomach every single time. I know I need to block their numbers but I feel like I need them to be able to contact me in an emergency...

I want to cuddle up with someone and stay like that. I miss my doggy

Saucy - block their numbers.... if its getting to you its not worth it.... is there someone that can act as a go between if there is an emergency? Someone you trust with your number that is in contact with your family?
Family is a very over rated word.....

Don't worry about OH's family either, sound like your better off without them!

Saucy just a couple of off the wall wacky ideas. not a proper substitue but can you make yourself someone to cuddle up to. Like a less straw-y version of a scarecrow. maybe using a plain pillow or something or get a big cuddly soft toy dog. someone to tell your worries to or cry on without worrying how they will react. Have you heard of worry dolls - little tiny dolls in a bag. you tell each one a different worry at night before you go to sleep so that they can take care of your worries while you are asleep.

Thanks everyone. I don't know what I'd do without my surrogate family

Social Services were being a go between but just gave them my number, about as helpful as a chocolate fire guard, to be honest.

OH's family...well, the latest instalment is just funny. Needless to say, I think the length of time we have been together is beginning to worry them.

MM I love your new collection. It's divine!

Edit, Aww, I want a worry doll!
Or a Fabregas :rotfl:
