    Hi Everyone,
    Not been on here for a while so sorry to those who I havent thanked. Havent been on since tuesday I think-with being in the blob(my monthly) and feeling the way i was I didnt want to depress everyone even more although this is what the thread is for(I hope)

    I feel I can come on here and write how I feel but sometimes when I read my post back its so depressing.Im sorry for that. I have read many ppl's posts who i can relate to and I feel for u all, I wish I had a magic wand and make it all go away but sadly that is not going to happen. But what I can say is that we are all here for one another, to let it all out and hopefully feel better after.

    My wek has been proper stressful-I make stress I think,why cant i be like some ppl who dont think so much when in bed, i keep talking to myself and it really does my head in causing me to have a headache lol.

    I took my son to docs about his sleeping and he has said its normal he is not sleeping as he has suffered a bit with everything that has happened in our lives and also living in a new place which is nasty, noisey and smelly. He has refered my son to see a child psyathrist(therapy) altho im upset by this maybe its a good thing that he can talk things over and get things off his chest.My son is pretty happy, easy going but is a little frustrated. As a mother I have tried my best to do everything right by him as in letting him see his dad who has been nothing but a complete waste of space. But against the odds I allowed him to see my son when it suited him which is normally a few times a year and when it comes near my sons birrthday my ex goes switches when he knows I wont get back with him then stops seing my son. My ex knows I would never get back wirth him, why would i get back with some one who abused me mentally and pysically?I am stronger than I was but I feel a fool that I have allowed him to see my son over the years as all his done is let my son down each time.

    Aswell as that, my son has to go in hospital and have his tooth removed under general anastetic, i know that might not sound major to most as im sure some ppl have had to go thru worse it is really horrible to see your child half pinned down and force an injection while putting a huge plastic thing over your little kids mouth,its actually quite distressing as my son had the same thing done nearly 2 years ago.I never wanted to see that again but my son is actually happy-why? coz he is going to have a day off.Well atleasy he has a sense of homour.
    I have another dilema.My landlord wont do the repairs he is suppose to be doing.I have followed all the routes ie envioremental health, the council but his now being awkward saying I keep moaning at him to get the works done,well ofcourse I am.It smells of poo in the flat coz of some plumbing thing he wont do.My son cant go out in the garden as its full of tree branches as he cut down the trees, a massive hole as there use to be a pond, shed full of clothes thats soaking and smelly,lots of broken glass and full of rubbish.He has said if im not happy i can find somewhere else.he has his furniture still in here and said he would take it all so I can put my sons bike and scooter away and othe rlittle bits but still he hasnt done it and he says he wont do the garden till the summer.I emailed my local councillor-mp kind of person who reckons his going to get on to the council as I applied for housing and i am on non priority-the letter i got said i will probaly never get housed.Great!!!

    I am trying atleast but its getting me down.Im getting all spots on my facemy IBS is getting worse and I look pregnant.

    I feel Im having a nervous breakdown as so much is going on but then again Im coping well with everything.I have so many other things going on but hide it so well.

    Im gutted i didnt win the lottery last night, it would of helped me so much!!!Dammm maybe oneday soon hey.

    Hope everyone is feeling a little better and enjoyed the weekend.

    xxxhugs to u allxxx

  • well done blinky congratulations hunni

    Ive had a brill weekend after about 6 weeks of my fella saying he loves me in a special way instead of loving me as much i do him he said i love you :D when he use to say i love you in a special way it use to really gut me and i'd nearly start crying i was seriously thinking of ending the relationship this week because whats the point in being with someone if they dont feel the same as you do? but now i know he does and i know its going to take more time till we're back to normal but this has made me really happy.

    As for me being ill i still am ive tried immodium thats stopped the runs till the next day in that department im feeling better i just feel really sick all the time now instead :( ive had really bad pains in my tummy and ended up having a period which ive not had in month as i have the implant so it stopped them the pain is that bad that ive ended up taking some tablets the doctor gave me a few months back when i was having problems with them. my fella has been really understanding and looked after me :)

    I hope everyone is ok SF, BMF, RBK and everyone else hugs and kisses

    Hello

    not been posting for months but I often come back to this thread.

    Been on citalopram for about 18 months, it's really changed my life around - hoping to start reducing this month.

    However, I wondered if anyone had experienced, as i have, thinning hair/hair loss. I'm only 27 and finding this quite distressing - although on the other hand I guess it shows I care about my appearance again!

    I#'ve always had thick hair, no hair loss in the family and even my hairdresser has noticed it's got worse. I take loads of vitamins and that, but because its not in the listed side effects my doctor didn't mention it.

    I'm wondering if once I stop/reduce the cita. will I see an improvement?

    Thanks
    Pug :)

    Hey All.....don't forget I've baggsied Flower Girl for MrMrs Blinky's nuptuals:naughty:

    Morning Pug & welcome to our "happy" throng...just call in when you feel like it OK, cuz there's always someone around who can help;) Re: the hair loss...could just be the stress that has caused you to need meds, has now had a fight with your follicles so to speak. I had similar--it didn't go too mad thankfully--but if you're concerned mention it to your GP. Just because it's not listed as a side-effect, doesn't mean it isn't.

    I see QWB has out-done himself again with the graphics....show-off:p Wozzat? Me? Jealous? Cors I yam!!!!!:D

    I can't hang about today...I gotta go get my dress for the wedding....luminous lime & obnoxious orange OK Blinx? Seriously tho, isn't it great to have some GOOD news on here:o All the very best to you both, for a very long, very happy lifetime together.

    Hope ytou all have a warm, dry & comfortable day...Peaceful Minds folks. BMFx
