Course you can if you want to.

Yeah eventually he got back on Saturday afternoon, but it was a lot of hassle and is wasn't the best time as a result. A very long story which I might tell you in a bit if I can be bothered to type it...

Done! Keep getting distracted by eastenders...

Been out and bought some new exercise gear today-I've been kidding myself, squeezing into "too small" stuff so I got some more comfortable things. Not very well today though, so I couldn't go to class tonight. They tried to send me home from work, but I wouldn't let them.

For a quiet night I have just 'drugged' all my cats with catnip! They are currently rolling about the floor in raptures. If only we could grow human nip!

They reckon catnip is like ecstasy for cats... Although I'm not suggesting we all take up that sort of thing!

Horace It's really sad to hear about your new friends Mother throwing her out From what you've said she sounds like a lovely natured girl. You've made a good friend there Perhaps you can both help each other.

I think this year is very strange because I am now doing things that I wouldn't normally do - speaking to strangers, asking them to my place, offering to help improve their reading, offering to show them where the shops are etc. etc. Maybe its because I am happier in myself and have stopped being selfish - I dont know.

:T It sounds like you've really turned a corner in your life. Being able to do those kind of things is great. I hope you feel proud of yourself for being able to do the above.

Wow what an honour to be asked to arrange your friends wedding. You must be really excited. How lovely to have the wedding in Italy, very romantic Have you any ideas yet?

BizzyBek You're doing really well looking after your Mum. It seems like it's given you a purpose. By helping others we feel good in ourselves, like we've done something worthwhile and it makes us feel good I hope your Mum starts to feel better soon.

Have you ever thought about volunteering in a hospital/hospice helping those that are unwell? Is that something you would like to do?

Do make sure you look after yourself too.

:T on making it to the shop. I know just how difficult it must have been. The more you do it, the easier it will get (hopefully). It sounds like you actually enjoyed it as well which is really good I hope you're proud of your achievement.

CCStar Have you and your OH ever been to marriage guidance or anything similar? It seems like you both love each other but for some reason your OH can't or doesn't know how to show it. Has it always been this way? Do you and your OH talk about your issues?

Will you be looking for a place by yourself or with your OH as well?

antronella (((HUGS))) xxx You are a lovely person and all of us greatly appreciate the support you provide people on this thread.

cat9586 :hello: Sorry to hear about your unpleasant experience with your psychiatrist. They don't seem to realise that we go to them for help because we are unwell, not to be made to feel worse about ourselves. At least you don't have to see her again. Will you be allocated another psychiatrist?

The things your psychiatrist said were definately uncalled for. There is no way she should have got away with saying such things. Did you make a complaint about her?

meyore What's been happening hun? How are you feeling tonight?

shazrobo How was your appointment with your counsellor?

Are you getting any help/support with your children?

Do they get violent towards you, each other or both?

Hope your guitar lesson went well

Tulip Hope you enjoyed yourself at karaoke today. What songs did you sing?

I remember flis21. I hope she's OK. Her baby must have been born by now. I think it was due on/around Christmas day.

gario900 I hope you have a good week. Look after yourself.

Miroslav (((HUGS))) Please don't give up on life. I know you said your GP isn't very good, is there any possibility of you seeing someone else? It sounds like you really need some support right now. If you are still feeling low/suicidal go to A&E where you will be able to see an on-call psychiatrist.

I think a lot of us feel like we don't belong because of the way we look. We all have things that we really dislike about ourself but at the end of the day we can't change what we've been given. Instead we just have to make the best of what we've got. I'm sure you're good looking anyway Miro, you just don't realise. You're definately a good person inside and personally I think that outshines a pretty face any day.

You give such good advice to all of us like saying 'You all deserve better and I firmly believe you will all find better' Miro, the same applies to you as well. Please keep fighting. We are all here to support you.


I feel quite upset today. My self-harm is really bad. I have many large open wounds on my arms. It looks so horrible. I just don't get it. I'm ruining my body yet still it isn't enough to make me stop. I don't have any friends and my family don't seem to care. I mean I've attempted suicide many times and made myself so ill and they still don't take any interest in me.

I don't feel like I'm living my life. I just exist. I have no real purpose here.

Anyone heard from Tiff this weekend? i think this is the first weekend she has not posted really hope she is ok.I know she has not been well lately but Tiff if you are reading just pop in and say hello we care about you.

I'll give her a ring in the morning and make sure she's ok, bit worrying not hearing from her in such a long time

As for me.. Uni is going well, I'm battling with myself to get there each day but I do manage it and it's ok once I'm there.. the dread is worse than the reality if that makes sense. I don't know why I dread it so much cos I'm getting good grades etc so should be fine.

B/f is home sick with the[STRIKE] man[/STRIKE]flu but he's not too moany so it's ok. On the plus side he won £4k playing poker and it goes into my account :T

Had a major major row with ratfink ex husband last week, basically he's been very erratic about seeing the the kids and it upsets them so I called him and asked him to make a regular commitment that the kids could rely on as 'their' time even if it's once a month. He refused, started slagging them off and saying my youngest was drugged up on weed last time he saw him which is a bloody lie! My boy's been in hospital for weeks and they test routinely every week and he's always clean so I got really mad, the convo got quite nasty and heated, he said some unforgiveable things and to be honest, it's lucky I don't have a car cos I don't think I'd be able to be responsible for my actions towards him :mad: Worst part of it is that the convo took place in the Atrium at uni and ended with me yelling obscenties down the phone and when I calmed down I realised there were about 50 people watching me :eek:

Yes, I think there is a lot of truth in that saying we all like to be needed. Mum has been such a support throughout my anxiety etc, it is nice that I can repay the debt when she needs me. It does mean my work is on the backburner a bit, but luckily I work for myself and from home so only have myself to answer to and clients who are very understanding. So hopefully when Mum is better I can rack up the pennies again but I will be pushing myself to remember I can cope pretty darn well when the need arises.

I have a driving licence but haven't driven in years. My neighbour is now a driving instructor and she's going to take me out to see if we can get me behind the wheel again. I think that would be be very liberating.

I do a lot of volunteer work with cats (in fact one of my foster cats is off to be put to sleep tomorrow morrning which will be very sad ) so that takes up a lot of my time on the volunteer front.

Hi

Had a better evening, just sat and watched soaps with my OH, taking it slowly but I am sceptical as it seems to be a pattern, so don't want to get too excited.
