Hi folks,

Been trying to readback last 6 days - I'm still 12 pages behind!!
I gotta go to bed now - 6am starts/12hr days all week.

Been offered counselling (few weeks waiting list) - very nervous.
After three tearful days i've been very normal for last 4 days.
Did my first day of my HSE course today.

I'll try to be more verbose tomorrow.

Love to all

Badgie xx

I am up and feeling really triggered by bullying I have witnessed. I really feel for the person who is being bullied and it is triggering my feelings of isolation I have had all my life.

So called caring people called my parents and spouse have let me down. They ignore my cries and not take me seriously. I try to keep a brave face on it but I need someone I can relax with and someone who I can trust. When I do trust someone, they hurt me and when I say I feel hurt, I am ignored or got at.

I feel very alone now.

I've been reading your posts and thinking of you all.
Sorry I've not had time to post but it's been a bit crazy in Tifftown!;)
My mum's still in hospital and very poorly. She was 69 on Sunday 14th, bless her and the family went up and we had a little get together in the dayroom. It's only a small room and got very hot and cramped but I managed 1 1/2 hours before the agoraphobia kicked in too much. She was so happy - she didn't know we'd planned it, so it was a lovely surprise.

And it was a little bit of pleasure in a very worrying time. The doctors say she has permanent bronchitis and water in the lungs which is putting pressure on her bad heart - she's had 2 sessions of heart failure last week. Mum will now have to be permanently on oxygen, even at home if she's discharged, for her to survive and she needs round the clock care. Every time the phone rings, my heart is in my mouth.:o

Tbh, I've been finding it hard to cope and I'm exhausted too. I thought about posting but found it too hard to be the bright bouncy Tiff I try to be and should be. It's hard because Mum's struggling every day and it was only a year since Dad died as you all know. It's a very lonely feeling.
I'm sorry for neglecting my smartie cupboard duties too! I'm very grateful for your hugs and thoughts. I will hopefully have time to reply to some posts now.
Right - next please!:rotfl:
Much Love,

Hi ethel hun!:hello:
I really feel for you angel. You've been a real star ethel! :T I think the uni should be totally sympathetic to you hun. I think blinky's right - because of these problems, your health is affected negatively and if you tell them about how ill you are, surely you'd qualify for extra consideration on these grounds? College students with health problems get extra consideration, help and learning support. The Learner's Support programme exists to prevent disadvantaged people from not being able to attend college and encourages them to learn with support. Maybe you could look into the uni equivalent hun. It's illegal to discriminate against people with disabilities. Even though you say the Dean wasn't keen, that doesn't mean that it's not possible to do - after all, it's not something you need because you're off to the Algarve for 6 months!:rolleyes: You don't want to be in this position! I think a visit to Student Services might be a good idea just to see what help might be there for you if you haven't done so already angel.

You are going up in the world ethel - your own cleaner no less!:T That's great hun - it'll be a huge help to you I'm sure. Just remember to lock up your jewels and £500 notes ok?!:D

I know how you feel with your arm angel - time to go back to the vet and ask about other pain management options. Ask about wrist splints (if it is your wrist), because if you put them on for a while, it takes the pressure off the nerves. The down side is that you can't do anything with one on. You should maybe ask for a referral to the physio who'll have some good ideas - mine did some acupuncture for pain relief and I'm amazed to say, it gave me some relief for a few hours.
Make sure you tell uni about this too as it may help your case. How can you possibly work in pain or with a numb arm?;) It's no wonder you don't feel well with interrupted sleep and an upset stomach. This should all be considered by the uni.
