Feelinggood - do you want a bed at my makeshift hospital - I can squeeze you in between my Mum and two cats with 4 broken legs between them!

Sounds like you have slept awkward. I have a recurring neck problem brough about when a friend used me as a guinea pig when she was doing massage at beauty school! Keep warm and easier said than done, try and relax.

Slowlyfading !!{hugs}} Have you tried writing a note to one of your closest friends saying you currently self harm? Sometimes it is easier to break the ice that way.

hello

I am on this thread in a different name normally but due to this situation i am in i have a new name.

I have been woken up to the fact that for 20 odd years of marriage that much of this has been controlled by my husband and i didnt see it (put him on a peddal stool thought he was there for me).

It recently came to a head when we had an arguement about an issue recently and everything clicked into place after getting a professional opinion i am now certain this has been going on for as long as i can remember and not realised it has been contributing towards my illness (causing panic attacks, anxiety etc) the thing is i have been desperately seeking his support and he has been saying im paranoid about situations and acts in denial when i have questioned his motives) i am devestated as i had felt he was my rock and i have had many problems to face and a lot of problems in childhood to overcome which after councelling recognised my upbringing involved emotitional deprevation and i had to come to terms with this and have no family support because of this (basically) the circumstances were they were neglecting my emotional needs and couldnt see what they had done now im in the same situation in my marriage im devestated.

Why oh why is this happening to me and do you know what the irony of it all is i am the most caring person you could wish to meet, i have been advised to get some support and help on this matter but so many things click into place as to what has been going on and when i question him as to why he doesent support me he is quick to come back and say if you dont want to stay in this marriage then thats fine by me..

Miss tbc, I honestly have no idea what to say to you - do you see a counsellor? I hope someone else comes along who can offer you more advice, but take care. xx

i have arranged for us to go to marriage councelling and live in hope that he is in denial because he genuinly doesent understand and has been conditioned to that way of thinking from childhood but am also realistic enough to take on board he may know what he is doing until then i also have no answers but feel i have had a lot of trauma in my life and feel cheated by people i put a lot of trust in and now after discussing this with my councellor in the past and gp realise i have been bullied by
his family and even him whether he realises i dont know im feel like im on a lonely life journey at present but know whatever i am a strong person deep down and if i keep focused on that whatever the outcome as long as i love myself i will pull through

geminilady :hello: How are you?

Katie Did you enjoy spending time with your friends today? What did you make in your craft class?

What is the shop and scan panel that you mentioned?

BizzyBek Your job sounds fun it's obviously something you really enjoy. I bet you can't wait to get back to it.

Hope your day has been OK.

gillette Hello, how are you?

feelinggood Whatever you've done to your neck sounds extremely painful. Has it got any better during the day?

slowlyfading (((HUGS))) Sorry to hear you've cut more This might be a silly question but do you feel like it helps? Make sure you look after your wounds hun.

ilovegreatdanes It's nice to see a post from you. Did you manage to get the ironing done today? Look after yourself.

shazrobo Are there any other day centres that you could go to? What are your interests? Are you sporty, creative...?

Miss tbc Sorry to hear about your situation. It sounds like you and your OH might benefit from mediation/marriage counselling? Do you think this is something you'd both be willing to try?

Do you want to be in the marriage?


Well I went to see my GP today. He asked if I was still self-harming. I said yes and he said OK I'll write to your psychiatrist and team. I agreed. He asked if it was building up to something i.e trying to kill myself but I said I wouldn't attempt to kill myself by cutting. That's basically all he said. I feel like it was such a waste of time. He did ask me if there is anything he could do and tbh I don't know what he can do. He just seems at a loss as to what to do with me. He asked me to go back and see him next week for a chat but I'm not sure I'll go. I just don't see the point.

RBK - sorry to hear the GP wasn't much cop. Self harm is something I have no experience of so all I can offer is !!{hugs}} and words of encouragement that you are such a caring person on this thread and I hope that is how you define yourself and not as a 'harmer'.

I'm doing okay. Quite tired and non-stop looking everyone and everything. Felt a bit low for a very short while this afternoon but still sticking the to mantra of one day and one thing at a time!
