Hi hun,
Who's the 9a.m. meeting with re DD? Have Social Services gotten back to you?
I'm sorry you had such a hard weekend ethel. Be sure and mention the physical fight to all parties - there needs to be some serious intervention here for everyone's sake. Make sure you show them your bruises too. They have to act to protect your young DS.
Don't forget to confide in your uni tutor if you haven't already hun. Getting more time and support is better than struggling and falling down at the last hurdle after all your hard work.
Are you going to talk about DD with gp too? They are the quick access road ethel - she may not be at The Ritz but hopefully she'll be safer.
Thanks for your thoughts angel. I'm thinking of you too.
Much Love,
Tiff xxx

It's a renegotiation meeting at the hospital, basically where she has to apologise for whatever she's done wrong and convince them that she'll be a good girl in future, although i think they should be apologising for putting her in the situation where she found a girl hanging herself however, I've got a list of my concerns and worries and i shall make sure they are addressed properly this time. My cousin is going to come with us, she works in special needs education dept in another borough so while she's not specifically trained in mental health, she knows her way around the system and how to use their jargon

Social services and the local cahms (child and adolescent mental health) team who referred her will be contacting them this week also to set up a meeting and see what can be done, my gp is kind of out of the loop on this one because she has a consultant psychiatrist locally, even tho she never sees her, but he'll help me as much as he can, he's ace

With a bit of luck, the advocacy team will get on the case this week also, although i've had trouble getting thru to them.

all the best tiffy.. gotta run.. cousin be here shortly and we've got a car coming at 8

have a good day everyone xxx

Hi miro!
How are you angel? Just wanted to remind you that we're all here for you. This is probably not want you want to hear atm hun and I know you're hurting badly miro, but I'm going to throw back a few of your own words at you.;) Like...you were going to follow up on looking into work at the charity shop...like you don't know if you could take all the downs with s...like you said you've got to look after yourself.

Hun, these were all things you said yourself.
I've read back over your posts and over the last few days, it seems as though you'd realised that this was a battle that was going to be more destructive to you, than helpful. You were angry at the way you were being treated and so frustrated and determined to look after yourself now. That's what you have to hold on to right now hun! That's what's going to help you through this!

What you're feeling now is sadness because you tried so hard to make it work but hun, the girl is very ill and probably can't maintain any relationship. There was nothing more you could do, than you did - please remember that!
You're hurting because you want to be loved more than anything and because s was the first one to declare an interest in a low self-esteem miro. But she was the FIRST hun - not the last ! 8 others have recently admired you!:T

Once you start filling your time with admirable things like your charity work and by exploring your immediate outside world more, it will build your self-esteem hun. Share more of miro with your world. Join drop-in groups, meet people. Good guys don't always finish last at all! I know you just want to retreat angel, but that's the last thing you should do. I'm glad you called The Samaritans hun and don't forget your gp if you can't cope.
And don't worry too much about wanting to be loved - we all want that angel.;) Concentrate on building yourself a life you're happy with.
Just when you're not expecting it, love will suddenly appear and smack you in the face - and when it is really love, there will be no doubts hun!
Much Love,
Tiff xxx

Morning feelie hun x Morning everyone :hello: Apologies for being a bit scarce on the thread recently... needed a 'time-out'.

I'm having a cuppa at my desk before the chaos begins at work. Hope everyone's well today. I'm sending extra special hugs to Tiffy and Ethel, who are having a rather tough time of it - hope you both get through today ok. Please post whenever you can, we're thinking of you.

I start counselling tonight and I'm feeling a bit apprehensive about that, to put it mildly! So can you all keep everything crossed for me?:D

Much Love,

Hi,

Would it be OK if I post here? After years of ups and downs, I went to my doctors last week and she thinks I have bipolar disorder. I'm waiting for my letter.
I 'm on a really big down right now and all I've done for the past week is sit here and cry. I shoudl go back to work tomorrow and I really need to be there as I model the pay increases for my company and I wouldn't want tto lumber any of my colleagues with my work. But I can't seem to think and I feel so stupid an useless. I don't know what to do .

I'm sorry to bother you all, but you all seem so nice I thought it would be ok.

THanks

Hi Pumpkin Pie
Welcome to the thread, thanks for making your first post here - I know how hard that is.
You are more than welcome to post here, welcome to the family x
It is your descision wether or not to go back to work, but it sounds to me like you aren't ready. I know you don't want to put your work on to anyone else, but if you are ill, you are ill - it isn't your fault and you shouldn't feel bad. You are not stupid and useless. Have you got a sicknote?
