Sadly, you can pick your friends, you cant pick your family, you are affiliated with them through blood relation and even if they are people you despise, you still have to see them now and again!

What more could I have done to get a job? The waiting is killing me, im almost wishing any sort of news so that I can get focussed on getting a proper job, sometihng that I can get into, I just hate the waiting, preparing myself for something then to be crashed to earth when I realise I havent got it.

That was rather harshly put, not much empathy in that reply.

I know you are under stress and I sympathise - job hunting is a major stress and went thro it myself years ago. The rejection, the being ignored - it is sick.

Don't take this the wrong way but I was wondering if you are coming across in a harsh way at interview. It is a common thing for younger (and not so young) people to do to show competence but can put people off. A lot of younger people don't or can't put themselves in other people's shoes and don't see how other people are feeling too.

You need to relax, a lot of your issues have been due to pushing yourself too hard/burning out and setting yourself impossible targets. What are you trying to prove to yourself? No-one went to the grave wishing they spent more time working.

Crystal is in a direct mood today btw and not meant to cause offence. My family are making me growl:mad:

Fair enough, it was meant in empathy, i was pointing out that you cannot pick your family but you can your friends,

Reading back I can see how it might have been taken in the wrong way, it was because I was so keen to make the point before it went out of my head, i apologise for any misunderstanding, you are probably right about the job tihng too

I feel I can be open on here and to the point - certainly not mean to offend anyone and I can see what you mean.

I have seen something in my life that has been disturbing me for years, so feel rather raw today.

Things are really upside down for me. My family and OH say they care but they only care for me conditionally. I find it hard to trust people.

I didn't sleep till late and feel like death today.

Plus the screaming kids are in their garden today - I can't wait to move now!!

Lack of sleep is horrible, nothing worse imo

Hey Guys

I am back in Blighty . With a lovely big credit card bill to pay in full :mad: And lots of college work to complete :eek: hope y'all doing swell. Been taking all my meds on holiday so i am glad i didnt relapse as sometimes when I am doing other things. I didnt drink *alot* over the holiday however i did have a 1/4 bottle of red wine yesterday morning as it would be wrong to just throw it away.
