Hiya Gem

it bloody is!!! I soaked it all in napisan this morning, then this afternoon i swapped it over and let it soak in soap powder, gave it all a scrub when i got home this evening with more soap and elbow grease I am proud of meself tho. ordered an old fashioned spin dryer from ebay for £30 quid shouldn't be for too long, I gave the manufacturer of my washing machine 14 days to reply so they've got a week left, lol

The meeting today was interesting.. in the end she got her place back by 2 votes to three and she's got a month to show commitment otherwise she's out on her ear.. she's going back in the morning, so we'll see what happens.

Ok chaps, thus the situation is:

When I was wi the ex, I got talking to a lass who was pretty, she was however 5 months pregnant. She wasnt with the dad, we kept texting then when I slumped into disastrous depression (as you all know) she was there for me and texting an stuff.

The catch is thus, we are sorta seeing each other now, and obviously she has had the kid and stuff, shes cool too Smile however theres a question over who the dad is, between 2 lads apparently, one I know of, hes a mate of mine and has been for years, the other I didnt know until today.

Ill be honest, think your worst enemy and multiply by 100, hes just an absolute ****, me and this lad have never got on since day one. Since she has told me, today, that he is the other contender, its knocked me for 6 I must admit, I just dont know what to think or do really.

I mean I said I would look after the kid as if she was my own cos Im good like that, I think there are a couple of lads with similar situations on here (kids by other parents etc) and its the right thing to do. But, if it has anything to do with him, I dont know.

What do I do from here? What are people's perceptions? Am I being a bit of a !!!! or do people understand my feelings?

Its like I cant think straight at the minute, at all.

I can only echo what beer said.. you and g/f will have to talk and work things out between you. But you can't blame the baby for having a horrible sperm donor.. and I'm sure she'll be adorable.. specially with you as a role model

I will say this tho.. I have great admiration for anyone who can go into a relationship with children from a previous relationship, it's very hard work.

Hi folks,

Just back from London and my practical.

Before I go I may I please make a request? No-one tell me I'll sail thru with flying colour or anything like that.

All you can do is your best Gilly.. if you don't pass, can you take the test again? At least if that's the case then next time you'll know what to expect and be better prepared

You know this brain feeding you're doing.. what does it entail and is it working? Cos I reckon I could do with some of that, I have big problems with retaining information and sometimes I'm like studentphil, reading and reading and nothing making sense or sinking in. I'm taking vitamin D and Omega 3 when I remember but not noticing anything

Big huggs xxxxxxxxxxx

Hi all,
Been looking at the thread for some time and thinking about posting. I'm very low. Wanting to kill myself and so on. Anyway, okay tonight - had 1/2 bottle of wine and okay, but I'm really low. Been having therapy for 6 months for stuff - abuse when I was a kid - and been recently prescribed prozac. I've been umming and ahhing for over a week now. What do I do? Do I take them and feel nothing or do I not take them and feel really mad for how long? I have 2 small kids and my mental state is surely affecting them.

Hiya rachel

Welcome to the thread and thank you for posting.

definitely take the meds.. you might feel crappy for the first week, you might not, but once they start working you will feel a LOT better. If you find the prozac isn't right for you, don't give up, go back and ask to try something different. There are hundreds of antidepressants out there and one of them will be perfect for you, it's just a matter of finding it.

The abuse is something a few of us can relate to, in my case I buried it for years but it started to come back to my memory a few years ago for some reason.. it has affected me but I've not had any counselling for it as yet.. maybe one day I'll have the guts to do it.

If you feel really low or suicidal, call the samaritans or come and post here.. there's nearly always someone around to keep you company and you can always pm one of us if you'd feel more comfortable

Big huggs.. be sure to let us know how you're doing xxxxxx

Sorry QB.. I haven't a clue as far as adult services go, but I think she got some good replies there

EthelBloggs

Before I go to bed.. has anyone seen/heard from Tiff in the last few days? Not seen her online at all and I've emailed her but not got a reply so I'm getting a bit worried..

Sazbomber.. hope your counselling went ok and you're not too shattered.. hope you sleep well and see you tomorrow xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Havn't posted on here for a while but been watching, don't know what to post as don't know what I feel. Thought things were picking up but feel rubbish. My so called friends keep meeting up and doing things and hiding it from me. I've thought about how I am, and I really don't think I've done anything, I think they just enjoy there exclusiveness. It's my birthday next week, it'll really annoy me, I'm not seeing my boyfriend for weeks so it'll just be my mum and maybe my dad. Happy birthday me huh, hate things that remind me how friendless I am.

On a brighter note going away on a weekend in a few weeks time, that should be ok. I can't sleep. I hope everyone else is able to be resting. Hugs.

Doing my best is the hard bit! Don't want to do any work.

I'm eating fish (mackerel, pilchards etc), berries (need to buy some more tho) and taking multivitamins and cod liver oil tablets.

I skipped it for a couple of days when antibiotics were making me feel sick but got back on it today. It's just come from stuff i've seen on "The Truth About Food".

No idea if it will work - but i have so much stuff I need to memorise. And I don't even remember my mobile phone number nowdays !!

BTW
Glad you might get some help with DD (you may want to knock off the first D)
