Hi andi!:hello:
Morning hun.;)
Let's see if this needs breaking down a little...

quote=andipandi;
hmmm,i've been informed that i need a supervised detox as apparently i am deemed alcohol dependant after explaining that i get the night terrors (delirium tremens,dt's),six month waiting list as well,well fcuk it i'll do it my way- cold turkey,have been told i must not stop drinking in the meantime) ,also i have an allergic reaction to valium and librium which is the drugs they use,its all bloody mutant .
This is a huge step andi. Is there any way to get re-assessed? I know the waiting list seems like it'll take forever to clear hun, but I hope you've left your name on it just in case.;) Have you spoken to your gp about alternatives valium and librium angel? Please try and folow the drs advice andi - they don't say supervised without a good reason. If you do go cold turkey, please keep in touch with your dr hun.

i only started to drink to get to sleep because i've not slept well since i was 10 years old,was put on drugs to get me to sleep then,my mother was on sleeping tablets and god knows what else for 30 years,i got her off them when i found her(i was adopted),now all this sh1te and also been told i have 25% of getting crohns disease and that mum was also diagnosed with schizophrenia 2 years before she died(mental illness runs riot through the family genes on mums side).
So not meaning to sound patronising angel, but what happened at ten in your life so you couldn't sleep and needed help, obviously built a connection for you to drugs.
10's an awfully young age to prescribe drugs like that for.
It certainly sounds like very hard times hun.
Well done to you though for helping your mum to get off them angel - no easy task. As for those terrible illnesses, well hun, you've not been diagnosed with them yet, thank God, so let's hope for the 75% chance against. Even if you are, there are varying degrees hun and lots of treatment & support out there for you.:T

they want my fathers medical history and i was "how would i know ,never met him and nobody in my birth family knows anything about him "
sorry about the rant,not been a good day sad.
I can understand why you're so low hun - anyone would find all this a huge burden. Short of there being aything on your full birth certificate, there's not eally an answer to that one. Does no-one in your family know anything about dad, hun? I'd make a sincere plea in a letter to them angel. Nothing to lose andi and because it's in writing, it'll make more of an impact. You could say you need to know his medical history for your own health so you need his name. At least then you might be able to find his medical records.;)

Edit,copied from a another forum,pasted it because i can't be bothered to type it all in,folks here know some of this,the other lot(not mse,not putting it there)didn't know any of this.
but i have put it here.......just done it/quote

Think about making the drs call to talk about the other issues hun. You could also ask to see your mum's medical records (free) for any clues about dad - it will at least show you're mum's addresses I'd imagine.
I can understand your frustration angel and appreciate you sharing it with us.;) If nothing else, it shows how good you are at surviving hun. I hope you know we're all here for you andi, any time you need an ear. Look after yourself sweetie.
Much Love,
Tiff xxx

Hi karrie hun!:hello:
What's wrong angel? Are you ok?
We don't lose it sweetheart - we just get temporarily diverted now and then.;) I'm not pushing you to hun, but if you want to talk, go ahead.
Is there anything we can do to help angel?
You know you're not alone karrie hun. We're here if you need us.
Much Love,

Hi Tiff

What would I do without this thread huh?

I think I was temporarily diverted . I have to make a decision about redundancy by tomorrow and I am letting it all get to me. But the last few days have been very dark but I seem to be brightening up a little now although still feeling tired.

I haven't read back far on posts Tiff (concentration levels are !!!! at the moment again) but I hope your mum is well and that you are well too

Hi to everyone else

Morning All...Sun's shining at the mo, but me left knee is playing up so expect rain in the next 24-48hrs.

I meant to say yesterday about the priddy burrdy---we could have one to fit in our managerie/managery/menagary....how ever you spell it we got it! (I haven't fathomed how to do the cross through text yet either. Oh to be a helpless fragile slip of a female [imagine a hippo in a red & white striped towelling dressing gown, :eek: with the back of her hand pressed delicately above one eye brow!] Ooooh how I wish I WAS a pale fragile female:rolleyes: )I'm sure the iguana's viv could be adapted & more fruit put in the bowl--Ed's a veggie so no probs there --& the pup is too busy hiding from the Cat mafia to notice :cool:

I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed how Tiff forms her replies, but it makes sense. If you take any situation & spend a few minutes looking at it objectively, it should be possible to break it down into managable chunks. That way you tackle it a brick at a time & don't have to take on the whole wall. I've found that it works for anything, from dissertations to packing for your hols.

OK folks. I'm off to hang out the barrage balloons cleverly disguised as female undergarments before the monsoon begins...right knee beginning to twitch..iminent precipitation 2-4hrs.

Peaceful Minds folks. BMF.x

I got way laid during my earlier post, & almost missed the Iceland offer post..Andi..thankyouthankyouthankyou! But hand on heart, God's honest truth, mum & I were talking yesterday about going to our local to stock up the freezers----how spooky is THAT! I think I owe it to all grand masters out there, to sample said offer to establish the validity of the product & how it compares in today's market.....

To those in a dark place, I shield the flame from my candle to bring you light.
To all, I wish you Peaceful Minds.
