As you know it was my mates funeral, i was at work, and it all kicked off, i was a human punch bag, everything got blown up and exploded, i walked out of work, i ended up in hospital. and well i was in pieces yesterday, totally shot to pieces:o. (might explain more when ive got time)

I went to the gym tonight tho, worked off some of that anger i have atm, seen my sister there which was good.

Hi guys!:hello:

I'm hoping we're all safe and sound this Fry-up-day!
Happy St. Andrew's Day to our friends north of the border.
Special hugging thoughts for ethel and DS, and for judders, and for qb.

My - you were busy little posting Tifflings yesterday, weren't you? Expect replies by the first week in February!

Still cold and dark here in the Costa-Del-Warwickshire, just a very faint hint of dawn. We're expecting some wet rain today - as opposed to the dry sort! - and of course, Tiffy has to go out.
Have an appt with a new junior psych dr for a checkup & must also get some vittles in for the weekend. The excitement never stops does it?!

Having happily noted the decline in all things c-a-n-i-n-e, (I haven't forgotten your post rose!), I thought it would be nice to start the day off with a song - seeing as it's going to rain anyway!
I happen to know that this one's a personal favourite of both bmf and sazzy. After 3 then...1- 2- 3!

Hoping that you have the best day you can have today. Stay safe and be kind to yourself guys.
Much Love,
Tiff xxx

Hi dawny! :hello:
How are you angel?
I've been reading your posts and noticed your despair and how low you felt hun.
I want to give you a hug and tell you that in between all those low posts, as with juno, I could find posts where you were feeling better.
I hope that's of some comfort to you angel.

You are very hard on yourself, as we all can be, and that might be part of our illness. I understand how you feel hun, about the things you question (everyone going on with their lives, worrying family etc.) & I can understand your frustration at not having the answers sweetie.
You are going to be unhappy for a very long time angel if you try and measure your life with the lives of ''Everyone''. Trust me hunnie - ''Everyone'' doesn't exist! It's a false standard that we imagine that we have to live by. Trying to compare yourself to 'Everyone' only brings you down even further, imho - don't torture yourself hun.
There are millions of tears behind millions of front doors - all you really see is someone managing to smile in a snapshot moment. For all we know, that may be the only time they've smiled that morning/day/week.

And dawny, sometimes it's the question we ask that's wrong and not the lack of answers!

Try changing the question dawny...'What can I do today that will help me?', 'What can I manage to do today?', 'What can I do to distract myself and feel better?' It doesn't matter how small or silly your answer is hun - this will make you feel more in control because it will be you setting your own standards, making your own choices.
I'd never not worked before I became ill. I feel as if I should be working, should be doing this or that, but the reality is that I can't right now. It's a hard thing to face up to, but once you accept that the only important thing is looking after yourself as best you can and then you can start to rebuild everything. It'll ease your distress no end, dawny. Concentrate on the smaller picture angel if you can - the best of things are built on solid basic foundations - a step at a time. I'm glad the counselling has finally started for you hunnie. It's going to be hard work but it's one way of helping you get better, so please go to your appointments.

Your loved ones are glad they know that you need help dawny. They love you and really care and wouldn't want you to hide it and suffer on your own. They'd rather help you than to grieve for you. Don't question what's best for them - they can look after themselves.
Let them be there for you, hun. You deserve it.
And if you're still worried about having upset your dad or your oh hun, why not sit down and pour your heart out in a letter to each of them, saying how you feel bad for letting them down, that you're so grateful for their visits/help, that they make a difference and that you love them and don't want to lose them. This will take away the anxiety caused by worrying about their feelings and it will also make them feel good and appreciated.

We don't have to do anything in this life, angel. We just imagine that we do. Hope this helps. Thinking of you sweetie. Take care.
Much Love.

I wunna do all the priddie pick churrs n stuff......snot fair:mad:
When I DO find out how to do 'em, you'll be sorry:rotfl: :rotfl:

Hey...good to see some regulars back in the homestead! Loved the pix & those 2 waggie d-o-g-s are soooooooooooooooooooooo cute Rose! What a terrible time to have such an awful day at work:o ! Was it a shoplifter or summat who smacked you one? It's a bl88dy farce that pondscum can do just as they please,:mad: but if you defend yourself YOU'RE the one up on charges!!! Think we'll all have to club together & get you some bubble wrap uniform:rotfl: but who would of thought that could happen in a place like yours:eek:
Just goes to show that money doesn't mean good manners......

Hi Feelie--wow! You've come on in bucket loads!! Well Done you!!I'm sure your talk will be fine, & I'm thinking of you.

There's a thread in The Arms....think it's in the Discussion fourm & called 'Thankyou'. Quackers is a newly single paerent & a lot of folk are offering great advice. Might be worth a look-see?

To each & all, I wish you an uneventful Friday unless it puts a smile on your face.
Peaceful Minds folks. BMFx

HI there everyone.Not long back from docs-still a bit shaky.Saw a different GP today who was really understanding -i ended up crying a lot though as i havent talked to anyone here about how i feel this time. She has put me back onto Citalopram and given me something to sllep for 7 days.I promised her that i would make an appoinment in 4 weeks so made it before i left the surgery.I feel jumpy today but i am going to work in about an hour and then will chill out with my kids this evening and look forward to taking my Zops at bedtime! Thank you so much everyone-i cried with relief when you all answered me o here last night.I just feel like an actress at home-i am in robot mode.

i get the same feelings but have found they have subsided since i gave up coffee and if you drink coke or anything with caffeine in it causes palpatations i would using caffeine to boost my energy but if ended up making me ill so i now try and cut it out of my diet, your doctor doesnt sound very understanding is there someone else you could see at your practice as i know what you mean some days you may look good on the outside to other people but inside you dont always feel the same.

I have myself done my best to give up the caffeine. I am drinking Twining Camomile, honey and vanilla tea. I do sweeten it with some honey, and its a really lovely drink to have. Its quite expensive at 91p for 20 tea bags, but i feel my health comes first. Its really scary when your heart is beating so much, always thinking I'm going to have a heart attack. Having a fairly good day, starting to rain slightly here. Glad Ive finished work for today and don't have to go back till Monday.

Hope you are all okay and welcome to Shelby. Glad you made it to the doctors and you have been given something to help you. I'm sure that now you will start to get yourself back on track with the help of med's and posting on here. There is always a friend here to listen to your troubles.
Lots of love H

Hi Lisa

How you feelin today?
I agree with gl, painting or something crafty to do in the evenings, i tend to edit, keeps me occupied. You could read, make a memory book, a photoframe etc...

I understand about anxiety i had a panic attack this week, horrible when it happens, guess its important to remember the key things, stop, sit down, steady breathing, 3 S's

Your right one day at a time, one thing at a time. Def an achievement if you can go through the day without SHing, and if you manage to get thru your day. I did somethin today that made me feel proud of myself, i sat upstairs on the bus with all the school kids and college kids, i didnt let them get to me, plugged in my ipod and relaxed to enya, and i felt good as i couldnt have done that a few months ago

if ya ever need to talk just pm me

take care lisa

Hi Rose

I'm not feeling too bad today, had a bit of a bad night, and got upset this morning, but I've calmed myself down. Plus, my partner brought home a Gamecube (I have a thing for old games systems!), so that's cheered me up!

Well done with the school kids on the bus. I'm hopeless on public transport, more so if there are teenagers on it.

I'm working on finding things to do in the evening, my partner's mum bought us loads of craft things from Hobbicraft the other day, now there's the Gamecube, and of course, our kitten - who's growing into a cat far too quick!

Hope you're doing ok

Lisa x
