Depression

aww you should have said.. I'm a londoner

Birmingham eh? Wise choice.

Hi folkes,
Got a headache (again) so I'll be brief.
I didn't go in the vent thread because life's crap enough - I don't go into sad/fighting/aggro threads. I can only take happiness threads.

And I don't want MSE creeping into this wonderful thread.

I'm putting off going to the drs coz I'm worried he's going to throw me off the sick - and I need the money. I'll have to go tomorrow.

My last free couselling session was yesterday. Counsellus Interruptus.
She spent the whole session trying to make it look like we'd made huge progress and it was a good time to end it. Pah.
I am more stable - but that's not due to any of the stuff in the sessions.

I hope CC reconsiders. You are a valuable member of the thread. And to leave because of outside influences is a shame.


And much love to the rest of you.

We all come here for support and to help each other. We really don't need to start arguing with each other about disputes on other parts of this forum. It's pointless.

CCStar I can tell from your posts that you are upset so I don't want this post to cause further upset. I do feel that a lot of us on here at some point have given advice and supported you through difficult times. I don't think it's fair to start having a go at us for not jumping to your defence you in a thread. We all struggle enough with life, we don't need to be involved in minor disputes between a few posters.

I do hope that you continue to post here. You are a valued member of the depression thread and MSE as a whole and you would be greatly missed.

Hi Miro,

Wow lovely to hear from you. Glad you are doing alright.

My biggest news is probably breaking my ankle. I fractured two of the bones and had to have an op to put a metal plate and 10 screws in to hold the bones together. Have been off work for 3 months because of it, but hopefully going back part time next week.

It really is lovely to hear from you tho. Keep popping in from time to time, it's nice to catch up.

Flis

You broke your ankle?

Hope you get back to work next week and a bit of normality :T

Miro :hello: :j :j

Good to hear from you again. I have been thinking of you mate and had been meaning to ask if anyone had heard from you but you meet me to it.

Not much happening here. I don't spend as much time here as I used to . Too busy at work to sneak on most of the time. My parents are moving house so most time there is spent sorting stuff out there and I don't get much time to get online when I'm with 'R'.

Everything is going brilliantly with 'R' and I'll be moving in with her in the next month or so.

You sound busy

Glad things are still going strong with 'R' - my female interests seem to have slowed down big time. I had a good spell where I was kind of seeing someone and it seemed to draw others, but now that has ended.........arrrrrrrggggggggghhhhhhh!

I need the blinky formula

Hi Miro!!! Great to here from you,you have been away for a while and i was wondering how you were,thanks for posting.Glad things are a little easier for you.As to fealing lonely i think it is something many of us feal.Even the ones who have parteners can feal lonely.In my case its not so much that i mind spending time on my own,i can be quite happy in my own company.It is a lonliness for someone to care,felt it all my life and it is just something i live with.Things with "N" are still the same it is going nowhere but i can't bring myself to stop contact he is all i have really.I have been on a couple of dates to try and get him out of my head but it did not work.The guy seemed to really like me which helped my self esteem a little but unfortuanetly i did not feal the same he was a lovely man would be a great catch for someone but i just did not fancy him in the boy/girl way so it was not fair to lead him on.Anyway as i said it is lovely to here from you hope you are bk for a while and not just popping in,but either way you are still part of the family on here and we do care.

I miss someone to look after and someone to look after me, just don't think it will ever change sadly.

Sorry to hear the dates didn't work for you in the way you may have hoped - here's to next time

I'll pop in occasionally, every few days maybe, not as much as before as i'm very tired at the moment and searching for whatever is next in my own head.

Not alot to really say at the moment, i'm just a lost soul. I hope to find something soon.

Best of luck with the dating!

Hi guys!:hello:
Hope we're all safe and sound?
Been a very busy week at Tiff Towers.:rolleyes: Terribly tuckered Tiff!

Tiff Time...:o

Monday, mum called to say that my sister would be collecting the Dad's furniture that I've had stored in my house and shed for the last 1 and 1/2 years, the next day. After numerous requests from me to pick up these items, sis had said last year that she didn't have the room at her new house, didn't know when she'd be able to pick it up and that I may as well do what I wanted with it.

So I had started to use some of the furniture, including a nearly new bed which I'd given to DS (because his bed was nearly as old as I am!:D ), wardrobes, sideboard, coffee tables etc., which was helpful to me. When I heard that she was coming to collect it all, I must admit, I felt upset and hurt for being messed around and taken for granted.

So by Tuesday, all our belongings were taken from the furniture, papers, clothes etc and were stacked in piles around the house. Still are.:eek: :rolleyes:

They came to pick up the furniture, and my sis tries to pick and choose which bits she wanted to take this time. They had been and collected some furniture last year.
Ol' Tiff put her paw down and said no thanks, you can take it all. I didn't want to be left with random bits and pieces and end up having to empty it all again when it was convenient for them.:rolleyes:

Smiling jokingly/sarcastically, sis said 'No, you didn't understand the question - you do want to keep some of this don't you?!'
And Tiff replied jokingly/sarcastically, 'No, you didn't understand the answer - no thank you!' She laughed.:D And said furniture etc was taken.

I don't mind helping at all - I'm still storing plates/ornaments etc belonging to my mum since she went into a sheltered flat, bless her. But my sis, like my brother, has the tendency sometimes to be thoughtless. Some people just don't think about their words/actions.

So Tiff followed flissy's good example by starting a diet last Friday. I weighed myself yesterday and Week 1 has seen me lose 4 potatoes and a carrot! :rotfl: Nope, I lost 4 and 1/2 lbs!:j :j :j That made me feel better - even though it's more down to blood, sweat and tears I think!


Now some of you may want to sit down for this next part...
Tiffy has joined a gym!!!:eek:
Don't worry guys, it's not the end of life as we know it!;) I was waiting to explode into dust, like the vampires do in daylight!:rotfl:
Gyms have always been against my religion and have never been near one since school - and even then, I had to be dragged kicking and screaming.:D

It's a fat-friendly gym, women only, all ages,shapes and sizes, small and friendly, no mirrors, all equipment is this air-resistance stuff and they measure you up and give you a physical first so you can monitor your progess. Everything from your bp to your BMI!:eek:
That's the only bad bit.;)

You do a circuit of 7 machines, one for each part, and you're on each piece for three minutes. Your total allotted time is 30 minutes, enough to work your body and tone and lose weight.
I was really nervous and anxious about a couple of machines and because of the pain my arthritis would give me - one you have to go on to stretch your spine, going on your knees, and tipping yourself forward, no hands!:eek: I said - you want me to put what where?!!!:rotfl:

But it was brilliant guys and I felt proud for going. I so nearly whimped out. It's called Gym Heaven & it's for women who feel intimidated by exercising for the first time, or around men and women who look as though they could run a marathon in their lunch break! No pressure at all. I'm even going back today. :j :j :j

There's another one opened not long ago called Gymaphobics - similar concept.

I came out sweating and feeling like I'd done a real workout and it only took 30 mins to do each part of your body. There were positions I didn't know I could get my legs into!:eek: :rotfl: Apparently, lots go in their lunch breaks once they get fitter and don't sweat much!!!:rolleyes: I feel really self-conscious about my body, after years of different abuse, destined to be a couch potato (fried, with ketchup!:p ) forever. But I really enjoyed it.:T I felt like...



:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:


Have kept it to myself, (sorry ), but feeling a bit of a scaredy Tiff as today I'm going to have an MRI on my right shoulder and arm, as well as blood tests (I'll count the bottles ethel!:D ) and a heart trace too!

I phoned yesterday, after I got back from grocery shopping at Asda!, to confirm the MRI scan (appt came very quickly), and the nurse confirmed that I was having my right arm and shoulder -and my spine scanned! News to me!
So now I'm a vewy fwightened Tiffster! :eek:



Then later yesterday, I went out and saw the sheep shearer and treated myself to a haircut ready for the wedding in 3 weeks. They did a good job and I felt pretty and special. Of course this morning, it looks carpy!:rolleyes:

The future sister-in-law phoned late last night and asked me did I want a corsage like the mothers and bridesmaids were having, as my sis had said she wanted one. I said yes please.

She said, 'That's only if you're going to come. If you're not ill. And it'll cost a fiver so sort the money out with her.'
I felt really hurt - I said 'Nothing will make me miss my brother's wedding.'

I'm not being over-sensitive am I? This has followed on from the 'you can wear that dress you wore at Christmas - that'll do' and 'We'll order you your dairy free special diet food for the meal at the reception if you are definately coming.' Believe me I feel bad enough about myself without these thoughtless remarks.:o

Therefore, when I got up this morning, it was a nice surprise to find I'd had gotten a long text from her apologising if she had hurt my feelings. Guess my brother maybe said something as he was with her - although he does the same thing!:rolleyes:

People are entitled to their points of view - but not at the expense of other people's feelings. Some people just go running off at the mouth without thinking that their attitude is being hurtful or aggressive or thoughtless.

So guys, I'm turning to my family this morning to ask you, if you have the time, to please cross everything today for me and send any spare hugs. I know I'm just being a silly Tiff- sorry.

Sorry for the length of this guys but I've been kicked up and down the emotional playing field this week and I'm feeling a bit tearful and low this a.m. I know you all have really serious stuff to deal with, in which case, smack my muzzle and tell me to get a grip.

Is this the longest Tiff Chronicle in the thread's history?:rolleyes:

I hope you all know I'm thinking of you and sending you hugs and that I'll get to your posts as soon as I'm physically and emotionally vertical.;) You know I do care, don't you?:A Look after yourselves guys!
Much Love,
Tiff xxx

Miro!! it's so lovely to see you back :T
I've been thinking lots about you and was going to email you but there weren't any contact options on your profile

Don't be too much of a stranger will you? A lot of us missed you and it's soo good to have a post or 3 from you, even if it will be sporadically :eek:

Take care and big huggs xx

Wish I knew the formula myself. I just be myself (no point in being false), be kind, attentive, supportive, caring, helpful, romantic (I'm an old fashioned romatic at heart), loving....

As I said before I thought I was at the back of the shelf of damaged goods under a mountain of dust until I met 'R'. I'm sure there is the right person out there for you. Have you thought about internet dating? I think PlentyOfFish is free and have heard some good things about it.

Hope you are feeling better soon

Flippin eck tiffy!! You have been busy!!!!

That gym you joined sounds fab.. I might have a looksee if there's something similar down here when I get some free time (and some energy) and well done you for taking the step to join it and actually do it!

Something that's helped me a lot is that I bought a pair of Crocs.. dunno if you've seen them - they look a lot like theatre clogs but they're made of some kind of resin so they mould to your feet - really supportive and cushioned and they do them in fab colours too, I've got some red ones and baby blue ones but I find with those I can be on my feet all day and won't be half crippled at the end of it.

Sorry to say this but your sis-in-law 2b sounds a bit of a cow.. you're going to look fabulous on the day and that'll be one in the eye for her! Hair never looks quite as good the day after.. but you've got 3 weeks to practice and get it how you want it and by then you'll be more svelte and toned from the diet and exercise - make sure you drink gallons of water, it makes your skin glow - and you'll be the belle of the day

Good luck today tiffy.. sounds like a lot of poking and prodding but it will be worth it in the end I think I can get my blood test results today :eek: I'm scared of what will show up but at the same time a bit scared in case nothing shows up cos then what do I do?

I'll try and give you a tinkle over the weekend, if that's ok, and we can have a catch up chinwag

Lots of love, huggs and positive thoughts coming your way
