    The voices are talking nonsense WaS. People are dying because they're human and that's just what happens. Nothing to do with you at all.

    WaS, more people are dying because there are more people on the planet. Everything has a beginning and an end - this is how new opportunities are created. It's the cycle of life that is so magical. Don't let these blips put you off connecting with the world again - you are doing so well. I always think that the best way to honour the much-loved dead is to have the happiest, kindest life that you can, with plenty of love of life and laughter.

    Have a loving, laughing day today, everyone.

    WaS, it only seems like more people are dying because you are getting older! Actors and singers that you grew up with are all getting older and older, so it is inevitable. Also, a lot of them may also have had unhealthy lifestyles - drink, drugs, fast-paced lives, etc., which doesn't help to prolong life!

    The longer a famous person has 'been in our lives', the more we notice and feel it when they die. We also notice it more if they had been part of our nostalgic childhood or teenage years, or even part of our early adulthood. They are part of our own memories, so we feel bereaved.

    None of this is any fault of yours. Nothing you have done has caused it or played any part in it. The fact that you remember them allows them to 'live on' in your thoughts, and that's the greatest compliment you can give them!

    I love :eek:



  • WaS, you are NOT responsible for people dying. You are not that powerful.

    Now, about those radio waves in your head. The computer will absorb them for you. Just put your finger on the ML below and focus - all the waves will move into the computer. :)

    (Yes, we both know this is rubbish, but that doesn't mean it won't work!)

    I don't know what to do.

    I have had a faulty docket box from pharmacy. So faulty it could be very serious had I not realised. I get a lot of faulty boxes and have complained to the head office of the pharmacy company before now. But.....( embarrassment) I cannot remember what was wrong with previous boxes ATM. Memory is a big factor with my neurological condition and I tend to cope ok, but something like this can be quite upsetting because I don't feel able to make a complaint and remind them its not the first time, when it cannot remember what the previous times were.


    I hate this.


    Edit:
    I've taken a photo of how the pills were packaged, fir called them and they came here IMMEDIATELY and collected them. I do remember when I complained before I said ' I noticed this, what about people who don't?' And they said they got few complaints and that I shouldn't be worrying about other people.

    Few complaints could prove my concern though.

    I feel calm now, but if was in a bit of a tiz when I posted first, sorry. :(
    I am really overreacting I suppose.

    LIR,

    Can you phone your GP surgery and see if they know how you could raise a safeguarding issue, or whatever they would call it in this situation?

    Someone on another board has found complain way for me.

    I'll do it with fir because I know I'm not good with things now and its better if complaint is understand able by people who aren't used to it when I write with difficulty.
  • I don't think you are over reacting LiR , taking the wrong medication could have very serious effects for some people.
    Taking a picture is a good way of recording problems. I understand about the memory thing, my mind turns to mush when I have a dizzy episode, so annoying when I used to be relatively intelligent :(

    WaS....what they said ^ up there ^ . You don't have the power, it's normal and natural for people to die as they become older. We have to make room for all the new babies to live their lives.
