    hello everyone,
    just a quick note to say i'm still here. i read this thread every day but at the moment i cannot put how i'm feeling into words very easily. I'm having panic attacks daily, and am feeling sick and disgusted a lot of the time. haven't sh but have thought about it obsessively for the past week or so.
    i hope everyone else is okay, sorry i've not been around.

    Yes thanks Tiff...just sort of realised--as has been said before--how one person can write something meaning it to be one way, & another can read a totally different meaning into it!
    Anyhoo, where' the rest of the gang?

    Hi bmf!:wave:
    Yes hun, they are rather notable by their absence aren't they?

    Hi dawny!:hello:
    How's you hun?
    I think there are times when we are staggered and sickened by the cruel things that happen in the wold hun. I agree that too much is expected of everyone & it's generally us doing it to ourselves, imho!
    We'd like life to be stuffed into a cereal box & get just what it says on the packet. If only...:rolleyes:
    We tend to try & please everyone and apply very high standards to them, which they may not be capable reaching.
    I tell you what though dawny ~ there are some really wonderful peeps in the world too.:A ;) Don't forget hun that this this may be your illness talking. Plese get some help for yourself\\\\

    Not too bad. Very exhausted though. Not sure why, just feel really worn out.
    Fiance took me shopping yesterday to get me a new outfit for my birthday (bought me some nice grey jeans and grey striped jumper) then he took me to an italians for a bite to eat and we stayed at the Marriott courtesy of Mr T! :D
    And today I am sooooooo very tired, even though we had quite an early night. Maybe I'm lacking something in my diet?

    I do agree with everything you said Tiff. It's just terribly sad that life has to be like this.
    I know there are wonderful people out there, I'm living with one for a start! :D And of course I have met a lot of lovely people here too, but I guess the bad things are more publicised (news etc) which gets you down a bit.

    I don't have an illness though Tiff. I just find it difficult to control my emotions is all :)
    hi all,
    btw, i saw our very own martin on hells kitchen last nite with a mystery blonde!!!hope his food was ok!!!
    Hi! :) Hope you are feeling well today! I saw him too - however unless my ears deceived me I think he said he wouldn't have eaten there again if he was paying?....

    ((((((((HUGS))))))))to those who would like them---I too wish for a little human contact sometimes, other than from family, but not sexually either. It's knowing that someone cares who doesn't have to, & tonight I would like to be your cuddle buddy! There's room enough for everyone, so don't be shy.....

    Is there anything I can do to help you folks who are feeling particularly low? I'm good at listening & offering my tuppence worth, but can't replace the Tiffin of course! Please don't feel you are alone with your darkness---I've got new batteries in my torch?

    Peaceful Minds folks. BMFx

    Thanks - I love hugs! :D It's weird though, I love hugs but at the same time I am nervous of such close contact. I never make first move to hug others and when they go to hug me it can feel a little awkward. Bizarre considering how much I really want hugs... Hmm.

    Thank you for your offer of help and support to everyone, that is very kind of you! :)


    OK - I'm off for a coffee before I fall asleep already!
    I hope everyone else is doing well today.
    Juno - I'm glad you had a good day yesterday, poppy - I am so very sorry for your loss, my thoughts are with you x Sazzy - you sound upbeat! I like it! :)
    SF - I hope things start to look up for you very shortly, and although you have been thinking about sh - you HAVEN'T and that is great! :)


    Hugs to everyone else too :)

    Afternoon all :hello:

    Hope everyone has had a nice weekend, we decided to make more of an effort and go out places more, I don't know if anyone else feels the same, but often as a family we seemed to get bogged down with things and have forgotton to make time to enjoy ourselves.

    Poppyjay it was such a coincidence reading your post, as yesterday I decided it was time to take control of my health and debt too, I want to start looking after myself by eating properly and get back to paying extra off the debt as I have been a lapsed DFW for a while :o we have alot in common too we have five chickens and try to grow our veg and. Looking forward to joining in on your diary, but if you would like a support partner PM me for a chat and perhaps we can help motivate each other. All the best with it, you are doing so well :beer:

    :grouphug: to those not feeling well, hope tomorrow is a better day.

    Love

    Nice to know that everyone is still around and okay. Wanted to apologise for how I left things, sorry everyone. If I could explain I would. I'd like to be able to apologise to everyone personally, but I can't actually remember very much from then.
