    :hello: Everyone,

    I have been busy this morning scanning my barcodes on items from shops for a Shop and Scan panel I am doing,its a lovely little clicker and I love using it :) Just learnt by myself how to do it by reading instructions and I feel very proud as I am the only one using this :) sadly Shop and Scan dont allow you to refer anyone.

    must go now and chat later :)

    love and light,

    Katie xxx

    Morning everyone.

    RBK - you always astound and inspire me with your fab posts! Yes, I am very lucky in the mother I have! We work with Cats Protection. Thankfully the foster cat put to sleep yesterday went peacefully. All the others are well bar a bit of snuffles going round.

    I work as a freelance writer, bits of pr and comedy writing is where I am trying to break through and I have had some success. Have found all comics and comedy writers seem to have some form of mental health issue :rotfl:

    I think the 12 step help for self harming sounds an interesting idea. Have you ever tried making your own affirmation cards? On each card write an affirmation or a sentence that affirms what you are struggling to think through at that time. Have them near and pull one randomly and use it as a day's mantra. I can be a bit of a new age hippy at time :p

    What I really need now is a cup of tea...

    I am in absolute agony. Some how managed to injure my neck. Worst pain I've ever been in. Been up for about 45 minutes and am dosed up to the eyes on painkillers, but I think I'm going to go back to bed. No idea what I've done, but it hurts :(

    Maybe things are just getting on top of you atm. Is your arm OK? Has it stopped bleeding?

    I'm struggling a bit atm with self-harming.

    I agree it would be good to live closer. I think we would both really appreciate the support. Are there people at uni whom you can speak with in confidence?

    Thanks for replying. It had stopped bleeding, but then I've done some more this afternoon so, yeah. :confused: No one knows at uni, and to be honest I don't know how I'd tell anyone. I keep questioning my friendships at the moment anyway, so its all a bit strange.
    hope you're okay today. xx

    .and the nastiness of some towards ant and qwb,instead of the pms, they should have the guts to post so we can all press the nice triangle on them but its so easy to be ananonymous pm coward.

    anyway,enough.....
    i must get some ironing done and im having such a "cant be ar*ed " day that nothings getting done and im getting angry with myself for wasting my day.if i just got off my ample sized behind instead of practicing being a gunner, but i cant summon up the motivation ,then ive lost another day.......
    thats it now, im going
    please take care ,all.
    love ilgd xx
    People bring great joy into our lives..some by arriving, others by leaving.im trying to be one of the former, so please bear with :)

    LOVE ME, LOVE MY NEWFOUNDLAND.:A

    hi all, how is veryone?
    feelinggood, hope your neck feeling better soon, have you been laid awkwardly in bed?
    slowlyfading, hope you get your arms looked at and cleaned up, big hugs, i too am finding that i've got no friends in the real world, just my friends on line who are kind enough to listen.
    ilgd, how are you?, every day is an i can't be asked kind of a day, i waste nearly every day and achieve nothing, have no motivation, my get up and go, got up and left:o
    i've been to see another day centre today, but didnt like it, and wont be going back again, the people there where not the type i would want to mix with iyswim.
    feeling bit lost, and dont know what to do with myself, need to find something that fits in with school hours and school hols, but no idea what.
    big hugs all
    shaz x
    enjoy life, we only get one chance at it:)
