Good evening everyone :hello:
Sorry I haven't had time to read the thread today. I've been in meetings today and then went round to a friends this evening. I have rehersals all saturday and sunday and then I'm in a concert sunday night so I think that this weekend will be quite a busy one for me - I think I might have a bit of free time, but not much!
I hope everyone has a lovely, stress free weekend. *hugs* to those who want/need one.

After a few desperate and sobbing phone calls, I got to see an emergency doctor at my surgery. She prescribed me enough diazepam to get me through until Wednesday, when my GP is back. She also said that I'm okay to start tapering of my antidepressants. Seeing as I got every side effect going, chances are I'll get every discontinuation effect going too. Ah well.

I'm just back from an AA meeting, and I feel a little better. I just don't know how to cope. Hopefully I'll learn eventually. I don't really want another addiction, but hopefully a few days of diazepam will be okay. Got more than enough addictions as it is.

She gave me the number for the crisis team, so I will phone them if I need to.

Its just a shame that there aren't 24 hour AA meetings, I really don't know how to live outside of them at the moment.

On a positive note, tomorrow is my 100th day without binge eating. Today is day 314 without a drink. Two addictions under control, one more to go.

:hello: Feelinggood

So glad to hear you managed to see an emergency Doctor and that you have a no for the crisis team if you need help well done on your achievements,thats postive news I am going to have a lovely day tomorrow,I never did see the Tudors as I worked on my murder game and used the Online Walkthrough(cheat) I know :rotfl:but its fun anyway

chat tomorrow

love and light,

hiya everyone :wave:

Sorry I didnt post sooner to let you know whats been happening but tbh I was so exhausted last night, I did pop in for a lurk with my cuppa before bed but I was too knackered to post, and today I just didn't want to think about it all really

Daughter has been admitted for 1 week.. just to give her a chance to break the cycle and to give us a bit of a rest. There's a review meeting on Monday and some other thing later in the week so we'll see what happens then. I rang her father since he's decided he wants to be involved so that he can share the load of visiting her and he said he'll go tomorrow so that means I get two days off!!!! well.. if he keeps his word that is...

Meanwhile, back at the ranch.. my son still hates me, not sure why tbh.. I spoke to him sharply last Friday (which he deserved) and that was it, he packed his bags and moved in with my mum Since then he's been either very cold with me or else downright nasty, swearing, calling me names and hanging up on me. I could really do without the stress and worry at the moment, but that's the joy of having kids innit?

As for me I'm knackered and swollen and now I've got this excema thing so it's all a bit miserable really. Uni starts again next week and I've got a little voice saying why bother, what's the point cos realistically I'm not going to be able to finish it, those pesky kids will create enough drama to make sure of that again.

Part of me almost feels like turning my toes up and saying beaulox to it all, let them win and give up the idea of ever having a life again. I can take up knitting or something to pass the time eh? I've had enough and I've got tears rolling down my face typing this. The ony thing that really stops me is that my mum would have to deal with the fallout and I don't think that would be fair on her.

Tiffy, I know I owe you an email, hadn't forgotten and I will reply soon, promise xxx

Miro, I was thinking.. all the things Britney's been doing lately, could it be that she had post natal depression and not been treated for it?

Big hugs to all of you, sorry I'm not putting names but I just don't have the energy to be honest.

G'night and lots of love to everyone xxxxxxxx

Ethel hun, breaks my heart to think of you so upset... bug hugs hunni xxx It's entirely understandable your feeling the way you do - it's always a wonder to me how on earth you cope with it all, but the fact is that you do. But even a superwoman like yourself needs a break sometime! I hope that now DD's father is taking some of the load (and well he should!) this might ease things for you a bit.

IMO don't quit uni hun... it's the only thing you do for you.

Much love and big hugs,
Sazbomberxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hey all

Sorry I haven't posted in a while (well quite a while)

How is everyone ? I'm feeling a bit down - not got much done around the flat today, having a tooth extracted tomorrow afternoon and am 99.99999% sure I am going to get a speeding ticket as I passed a camera I hadn't noticed before at a fait bit over the limit well quite a bit - so scared about the dentist tomorrow (if you hear a scream and bawling at around 14:50 tomorrow that'll be me) and peed off and worried about the speeding and likely impact on my insurance premiums for next few years anyone know if it increases the premiums much ?
