    :hello: guys, thank you for all the support you've shown me this weekend. I really do appreciate it.

    I was sick earlier so hopefully that has got rid of some of the tablets :confused: Anyway, I know I need to see a Doctor so I will try to make an appointment for sometime tomorrow.

    Thank you all for being so supportive (((HUGS)))


    Oh RBK,
    Am sorry honey, hadn't looked back through your posts, I am sooo sorry you are having such a hard time. Please do get to a doctor honey. You are a wonderful, special and supportive person. Amazingly even when you are going through such a bad time, you still have time to support others. That is a really special quality.

    Please look after yourself. Sending you lots of hugs.

    I'm too scared to ring. It took a lot of effort this morning to call the crisis team.

    If you need a Doctor you have to go to the walk in centre @ A&E.

    You knowwhat you have to do tomorow hunni, i know its scary, but you know we all love ya here, and we want to help get you better :) x

    Hi Guys,

    Well, I have some news.

    I think I am pregnant!!!:eek: :T :j

    I was 12 days late with my period (but mine are irregular, so this is nothing particularly unusual). I don't know why I did it, but I just thought I would take a home pregnancy test today and it came out positive.

    Can't stop shaking, hubby and I have had silly grins on our faces ever since. Don't think it has really sunk in. Am going to phone doctor's for an appointment tomorrow. (Need to find out if I can still take my meds and if not what the alternatives are).

    Hugs to you all.

    Wow flis, that is fantastic news. congratulations to you and your hubby!!!

    mac - how are you angel? Just wanted to wish you a belated 16.gif ! Much good luck, good health and happiness in the coming year hun. hug.gif

    Hey, thanks :)

    In the end, i didnt go to my GP - but main reason is i have been more possitive about the outlook on life. Have'nt had any suasidal thoughts the past couple of days nor thought about self harming which is new for me :D

    hope it lasts :)

    I have been feeling so crap recently. I really need help but :confused: I was desperate this morning and called the crisis team-no-one answered then I called again and apparently they were out but could be paged. I just said 'oh don't worry, bye' I've sent a text message to the Samaritans but they don't seem to give any yes or no answer. I feel really sick.

    I do hope you're enjoying your rest hun, the fact that you said you really need help is a possitive thing.

    Like i suggested yesterday, think about it, and think about when... think it will help you hun :)

    The samaritans are useless imo - never give out good answers, just obvious advice.

    There are another couple of organisations like Saneline and that who are good.

    Please dont suffer in silence hunni; you got my number, you can use it anytime you need :) x

  • Hi guys, sorry I aint been posting much recently, had a lot going on, had a lot of life plans to re-do with the help of g/f :)

    Good to see that people are progressing nicely, sorry to hear RBK is struggling, hope you get the help, congrats to Flis and PP on their respective good news.

    Hello to everyone else! Hope things are good,

    Ok, on the job front, im now temping, after seeking advice on here and remembering what people had said in the past, ive decided to temp until something more permanent comes up in what I want to do.

    I did 4 hours at Smiths, did a lot of thinking, and spoke to a lad who had very similar problems to me, he had a idea for a business venture and was doing 3 days a week whilst doing that in his spare time, it got me thinking, what direction was my life heading? I was chasing something in retail that I was never gonna get again, my life was heading nowhere and I was working myself up because I thought I would never acheive anything. I realised I didnt want retail and I had just been trying to get back in my life what I had before and hoping that things would change. Not so.

    So I decided to leave, in my dinner hour I spoke to my g/f who supported me so much and said I sounded really clear and happy, not down at all. I went off to job agencies and registered with them, and decided that whilst I cant decide what to do, I need money and weekly pay coupled with the short termism of contracts helps me just focus day to day. I

    I went back to the boss and spoke to her, said it wasnt for me and I wanted to get out before wasting anymore time, I was just too nervous at the start and it really didnt feel right, in the build up it did, but the overall feel for the place never happened, I just couldnt get into it, and couldnt take the risk of being down again.

    So Ive done that and I start tomorrow in a IT place just temping, for 3 months, Ive decided (with gf) to defer Uni for a year to get rid of debts totally, part of it is getting my head right for work so i can clear my debts, as you will see, i am not doing too badly at the minute with debt clearing.

    However I have an interview lined up at a head office of a company, that role could be good and will give me some money to play with for 2008 uni.

    Its important to go with a longer term plan in mind (teaching for me) so that you dont get frustrated and down, always have plenty in your life, not just work, for too long I had just work and built everything around it, when that came crashing down (over something i had no influence over) I couldnt change anything and lost everything pretty much.

    Had I had everything in my life built around work, then if owt went wrong at work, at least I had a relationship, hobbies and my family, like what Ive done now, with my g/f and Milli, our daughter who Ive taken on and she will call me daddy hopefully.

    Ive resolved to do some studying part time in 2007 September, hopefully ill get some credit for the year that i do and then can use that basis to build on, and go to uni debt free and really work so hard to make as much money as possible, ive always been a worker, ive just had a few issues that have prevented me from working, which has frustrated me in turn lead to financial difficulty and then its a viscous circle, hopefully thats over now and I can start to live my life and enjoy things instead of worrying about things.

    Another problem I seem to have is idolising strong people, Roy Keane being a notable one at the minute, I want to be like them and achieve, a lot of peopple say to me, you are only 21, calm down, sometimes its good to remember that.

    I find writing everything down here very carthaic, It clears my head, I speak with my g/f a lot more, I am so so thankful to her for helping me, Im lucky to have such a great support and without her, I wouldnt have got very far at all. So thanks :-) (she may read this).

    Im going to MIND for some counselling, I think a stint of therapy / counselling would help me reflect on what has happened and move on in my life, and focus on the future, if anyone else knows of cheap places then Id appreciate it :)

    Hi RBK,

    I too have just logged on,Sorry to hear you are feeling the way you do at the moment,as GL has said the smaritans are only there to listen to you as they cannot offer any advice.They were so helpful to me a while back when I had a bit of a crisis and I e-mailed them via their website when I felt better to thank them for all the advice given and who had chatted to me and they said they were here anytime 24/7 if I ever needed them,RBK Dont feel alone ok and hope you feel ok again soon :)

    Hang in there and be strong :)

    lots of love,

    Katie :D
