  • Evening.
    I'm not staying on too long tonight, don't feel very sociable at the moment. Quite a few things going on in RL that are making me feel so down it's unbelievable, cap that off with the complete and utter loneliness I'm feeling at the minute and it doesn't make for a good situation. I'm not sleeping well, which doesn't help. Not being able to leave the dogs for long is making things worse, as is having to clear up every time I do leave, not to mention the amount of money to replace everything before my annual housing officer visit.
    Being given a hard time for deciding that I'm not the best person to look after 'the beast' by so called animal rescuers is really getting to me. At least I haven't just advertised him on scumtree and given him to the first person who said they'll take him, I care where he goes to, I want him to be looked after well, I want him to go to someone who loves him as much as I do:(
    I can't talk to the person I usually talk to because she's got her own problems and tried to end it all last week after having a breakdown a few days before:(
    Life just isn't fair, those of us who play by the rules get all the carp of the day thrown at us while others 'seem' to get an easy ride. Or maybe they're just like me, they hide everything away, let the world think they're doing fine while underneath they're falling apart , if only someone would notice that little bit of sadness lurking behind the facade they would realise that person needs help.

    So after giving a little insight into my carp mental state and potentially bringing the thread down I'm gonna try and get some sleep, I'll probably be vey restless and grind my teeth as usual then wake up in the morning feeling like I've been up all night.
    I feel a little better for 'saying' all that so hopefully will sleep a little easier.

    Goodnight

    Did not want to read and run. I am a lurker and you have made me "come out". I am not good with words and Mummyv and others have said better, what I wanted to say.

    I have had times when i've been so down that I've thought of doing the worst. Its the most painful thing. AND, with a broken arm, you can put plaster on it and people can see your arm is broken. BUT with a broken heart/depression/feeling very very low - people can't see it. You can hide it and nobody would know.

    I remember a friend of mine once ringing me up and telling me: hey - you don't know what is around the corner. Think of all the wonderful people you have yet to meet and think of all the lovely things you are yet to do!

    That sort of stuck with me. BUT I still get really really low days. Sometimes, I can't even see where the dark cloud comes from!

    On another note, I think you are fab. I love reading your posts. You have helped me more than you will know.

    Also, you have so many people on here who adore you.

    Take care, and stay safe.

    Thanks David. I do join in if I feel that I have something to contribute but as a novice it doesn't happen often. I will try harder!:)

    I rarely have anything useful to say [STRIKE]about glitches[/STRIKE] but it doesn't stop me :D

    Well my feeling is that there is so much info in the idle chit chat on here (obviosly not from the likes of DM or Dumpy) that what you think is not contributing may well be to someone ;)
    If that makes sense :rotfl:

    Makes sense (sort of :rotfl:)

  • Just to give something back, while i'm here:
    The Famous Grouse Scotch Whisky 1L
    This is £24.50 in Tesco and only £14.00 in Asda. Great for a PP and clubcard points

    Unfortunately, I don't drink whisky so had to return it for a cash refund.
