Just needed to be heard for a little while

Could your mum and lo go with you? Lo would sleep in the car, and the hospitals by us all have children's play areas in the waiting rooms.

Your mum could take her out if she was a pain. Could you take a buggy too?

My DD loves going to hospital with all the various relatives. In fact, she is going in tomorrow to visit a family friend. She is as good as gold with appointments.

Just dropping in again, I wanted to say a big thank you for this:

Reasons why I am very lucky and thankful-

Everyday I have 3 people who tell me that they love me. They never miss a day.
I have had a successful 25 year relationship that makes me happy everyday. That speaks for itself.
I have everyone here, I feel accepted, cared for and appreciated. I have never had that before. I have made some wonderful friends from this thread who I would hate to be without now.
I have had some wonderful professionals who have tried to help me and who have been incredibly patient with me.
I have had wonderful pets who have brightened my life every day and left their love in a paw print on my heart.
I have my independence even if it is isn't other people's normality, I am thankful for that everyday.
No matter what illness has taken from me it has never removed my sense of humour, I rely on that so much.
I am far better off than many people with similar complex conditions. I am deeply thankful that I am able to express clearly the help that I need.
I have a roof over my head and enough money to survive, many do not so I am very lucky indeed.
I can still achieve small goals for myself, even if they are things others can do easily.
I finally learnt how to be a child and I love every minute.
Despite my past being hard I learnt from it, it made me the person I am today and I'm not so bad.
I haven't had a real cigarette for 9 days and I love how things taste now.
I believe that I can still help and teach people. It is all I have ever wanted to do.
No matter what my past was I got out of it and got my degree and worked in a job I loved against the odds. No matter the outcome that can never be taken away from me.
I have Sir Pugliet to comfort me. As silly as that sounds I take him everywhere and probably pat him hourly. He is a reminder to me that I am not alone.


Don't mind me, I am counting my blessings today. I do have a lot to be grateful for. Feel free to join in if you would like, no pressure!

I came home from a long day at work and read this. It made me remember what 'it' is all about. Thank you so much xxx

I'd like to be able to do that with my hair. If I get white hair I will. . I often look at people with wonderful mixes of colour in their hair with envy. I was pink for a while,then red but it was better in theory than actuality. :rotfl:

I like rainbow hair. Violets and green, Pinks and tangerines.


Are employers ok with it?

Some employers wouldn't be but thankfully in my job my employers don't care at all

i would LOVE rainbow hair :eek: i've seen some that look amazing how gorfeous is this for example..

For some reason, that makes me think of unicorns.

My little pony unicorn memories?

That rainbow hair is lovely. I dyed my hair turquoise once, but it was a really bad colour for me and faded to green really quickly, then it would not leave my hair. Looks fabulous on you, so I'm very jealous.

By the way, I have a unicorn tattoo on my stomach. I got it after a bad couple of years to protect me (unicorns are the protector of Scotland) and remind me that things do get better.

WaS, you totally rock.

Today was my first day seeing the co-worker since my meltdown and to be honest, I just ignored him. :rotfl:

#100DaysofHappiness1 - had a really good one-to-one coaching session for my AmDram, and instead of being 'found out', as I thought I'd be, I was told I'm an asset! It bucked me up no end, I can tell you!

After all my optimism I have woken up very anxious, feeling slightly unreal and as if I am still dreaming plus almost certain that something terrible is about to go wrong because of me. This isn't the best of signs so I am taking myself back to bed after an extra anti-psychotic and hoping when I wake up it will be gone. At least WaSp will be here soon if it get's worse. Although a bad headache and upset stomach over the weekend could easily mean an approaching biochemical mess, there are usually physical symptoms as well. I had three weeks there of not feeling psychotic too. Go away stupid psychosis, I don't have time for you! And the stupid voices can stop telling me that I am dying of lung cancer, too! <sigh>

Oh, and good morning everyone! hope you all slept well and have lovely days!

Morning Was , I really hope the strange feelings go away.
You have NOT caused anything terrible.

I have just dropped husband off at the station and decided to stay up instead of rereating back to bed. Now Full-of Beans-Dog and Always-Hungry-Dog are staring at me sending "FEED ME" messages. Grumpy-Dog hasn't bothered to get up yet.
