Thanks for the advice, will check it all out tomorrow. Feeling quite ill now and finding it difficult to string a sentence together so I'm wondering if I'm coming down with something. I stupidly had a glass of wine earlier, I'm be no means tipsy but I'm not sure if its masking/adding to the poorly feeling. What a wally.0

ShaggyxWhat 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.0 -
Thanks for the lovely smiley Shaggy.

Had it on Friday which caused me headache all day, which worried me as I never get headaches, even with booze! I was ok yesterday but today its come back with a vengence. Anyone have any idea what it is? It feels like toothache on the whole left side of my face
No idea but hope you get to see someone soon...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.0 -

I'm very disappointed that it's Sunday, I really don't want to go to work tomorrow!

Morning All!!
Legsand - Well done on your restraint. That's brilliant :j
Welcome back MissP :wave: Hope you had a nice holiday.
Bearacus - 50 days in a row is fantastic. Well done you :dance:
FPT - How are you feeling today?
The "monday morning going back to work" theme made me smile. Does anyone want to swap just for 1 day. I love BabyR to bits, but would love to have just 1 day of normality. I insisted that MrR fed her the other day while I did the washing up just because I wanted to do something normal!!
"Happy" Monday everyone!

prettykitty wrote: »Hi - no more AF days to report, but I haven't been dronky dronky, just a drink or 2 each day. I am feeling low at the moment, hope to post something more positive later this week. My God, I am 31 in 2 weeks time. It's not age that bothers me, but I do feel like I am coasting along, not achieving anything. My Mum had me three weeks before her 31st birthday, and she was an older mum. Her first marriage failed as did mine (our faults too!) but by my age she had met my father and had me. They are still happy together and there are four of us kids, and I wonder if I will ever be so fortunate. I don't want four children but a relationship with someone special that lasts would be wonderful. My boyfriend is lovely but I question his intentions all the time.
My boyfriend has gone to see a friend tonight, I have nobody around, no friends who i can see. I struggle to make friends, alcohol helps me be sociable but my drinking and general depressive state (and autistic traits) mean that I find it hard to keep friends. It is easier to see no-one, but sometimes I feel lonely. I have had a G&T but now drinking coke in an attempt not to hit the downward spiral.
Wow that's depressing, hopefully I can come back tomorrow in a happier state of mind. Still this thread is here for venting isn't it? I'll catch up tomorrow and put something positive!
PK - Just wanted to send you ((hugs)). Hope you're feeling happier today. Well done for switching to the coke. Feeling sad and drinking on your own is usually a bad combination.
Feel free to vent on here whenever you like. We might not have the answers but we are always sympathetic.
