    Hi everyone,

    Sorry I haven't been around for a while. tbh I am living in limbo till my scan tomorrow. My midwife has said that it is a good sign that I am feeling like !!!!!!!! The morning sickness (well, that is a lie, it lasts all day!) is terrible. I feel permanently shattered, am getting really bad heartburn and have gone off most of my favourite foods, including chocolate!

    Sitting on the computer for too long makes my sickness worse, which is why I haven't been here much. Also am very emotional, so when I start talking about things I get easily upset.

    Am going on holiday on Saturday, but just can't get excited about it until after this scan. I just need to know if the baby is ok.

    Anyway, just wanted to let you all know that I am still thinking about you and I hope that you are all doing ok.

    Tiff, It sounds like you had a fantastic day on Saturday. I bet you looked stunning.

    I'm so sorry to hear about what happened in your marriage. There is someone out there for your Tiff. Someone who will love you and treat you right.

    It's lovely to hear that you enjoyed yourself. You should feel really proud of yourself for all that you've overcome. I know you were very worried about the whole thing but you did it :) You overcame your fears and were able to be part of your brother's big day.

    Ethel, You will look gorgeous in the dress, definately wear it :) I hope your headache has gone.

    Thank you for the good luck wishes.

    elona, It's lovely to see a post from you :hello: I hope that you are well. It sounds like you've been very busy lately.

    :hello: Gillette, I hope you are well and have a good evening in Birmingham.

    Did you not feel any benefit to taking the prescribed medication?

    Hey ya Tulip, How are you? How was your day?

    Thank you for the good luck wishes :)

    slowlyfading, gσσ∂ ℓυ¢к with your exam tomorrow morning. I am sure you will be fine. (((HUGS)))

    What was the dream about?

    blinky, I didn't realize you had a job interview today otherwise I would have wished you good luck. I am glad to hear that it went well. I have my *fingers crossed* for you :)

    Let_Robinson_Sing, In the first session they usually explain to you what CBT is and how your thoughts, feelings, emotions and behaviour are all linked. As the sessions progress they may also ask you to keep a diary of what you've done that day and what your mood was like. Between the two of you, you come up with a list of goals that you want to achieve.

    :hello: flis21, I wondered where you were. I hope the scan goes well tomorrow. I know you must be so worried. Once you've got tomorrow over with (and everythings as it should be) then perhaps you can start to get excited about your holiday :)

    I will be thinking of you hun. xxx

    What was the dream about?

    Thanks, I'll need it! It's going to be a tricky one I think. Don't know whether I should talk about the dream - other people might find it triggering? :confused: Basically, I'm trying to stop self harming, after over 7 years of doing so, but its proving much harder than I first thought. My dream took me back into school, to a teacher I told when I was 14 what was happening, but she told me to ignore other people and get on with it. Then, in the dream, I drag up my sleeves and show her my arms and wrists, which are absolutely covered in cuts, bleeding and dripping. I woke up really scared I'd done some more, til I checked.
    I'm so fed up of it to be honest. Why can't I just be... normal? Why did I have to find a way of coping which is so upsetting for anyone else and damaging to myself? I'm such a freak :( Pair that with an eating disorder than no one knows about, I'm getting the end of the line really. All this hiding really is draining after a while.

    sorry for the rant :o

    slowlyfading, As a self harmer I can kind of relate to how you feel.

    Battling on your own with self harming and an eating disorder must be very hard. Have you never got any kind of help/support?
