  • Morning all.

    tea - big hugs. All I can say is that I split up with the love of my life, too. With hindsight I can see that he WAS the love of my life, in some ways, because there is something special about being deeply in love when you are in your 20's. However, my love for my husband is far more profound and deeper, and looking back now I can see that the LOML actually wasn't right for me at all, even though we were together for over 7 years. xxxx

    Lovely to hear from you, Oyster. Delighted to hear your mood is lifting xxxx

    Hi guys.

    Originally treated as a work related PENGUIN

    Back from work, feeling guilty and it's not my fault.

    We share an office with day staff (who are supposed to clear the office by 18:00) one of whom was still there when I arrive for work at 22:00.

    She left at 00:00. Seriously. She'd started at 08:30.

    I had to stay after my hours (08:00) and met a member of the day staff coming in and mentioned in passing his colleague staying very late.

    Then the late staying member of staff came in (less than 8 hours after she'd left) and he mentioned it to her.

    As I left at 08:30, she came out with me, promised it wouldn't happen again and basically begged me not to tell my boss.

    I told that I wouldn't take it any further, but how far it will go after telling her colleague is beyond my control.

    So now, I've unwittingly got her into trouble.

    Two more shift to go before I have two nights off.

    End of possible work related PENGUIN.

    Good oh. :(

    Last time I posted I was trying new anti-D's, well they didn't do much except cause side effects. GP increased them a couple of weeks ago and the side effects increased, making me even more miserable. So yesterday I didn't take it and already my mood is lifting...so strange, maybe I have a different type of metabolism .

    I'm really not sure whether to see the GP again, he wasn't very sympathetic and this is now the fifth type of anti-D I have tried over the years that hasn't worked. .... no recount...sixth type !!

    I have trouble with anti-Ds. Allergies to the prozac types and severe reactions to some of the others, mean I'm left with the very ineffective tricyclics which I've had to come off because of the side effects.

    I came off them last February and this is the longest I've gone unmedicated since 2000.

    Like you said, Gingernutty, not your fault. Doubly not your fault because anyone in the world would have mentioned that. It could lead you into all sorts of trouble if you HADN'T mentioned it to someone that there was a stray person in the office when you arrived! (So I've de-penguinised it!)

    (Edited to add - I was just explaining why my reply was de-penguinised. Not criticising you in any way for penguining :D)

    (I like the way it is now a verb :D:D:D)

    Aw, thats lovely, Geminilady!

    Huge hugs tea. You have made a big decision, even though it was something that you had considered it doesn't mean it still doesn't hurt terribly. I will be thinking of you today and sending you strength.

    Lovely to see you, oyster! I have missed you!

    I think I feel a bit better, not sure yet as I just woke up from a nap. Last night I dreamt I was writing a play for a theatre with some old friends, except they had found new friends and didn't want to know me. Why is every dream theatre related? I am puzzled...

    I don't know about the theatre but lots of your dreams are about people deserting you or not liking you it is all down to your low self esteem, keep telling yourself lots of people like me,I have lots of friends,I am a lovely caring person:A,hundreds of people follow a thread I started, maybe it will sink in.
  • So........

    Thought i'd see if i could find/get a life, i've tried everywhere - eBay, Amazon, Tesco, Wilko & even Poundland but nothing doing..

    It's nearly as bad as when i missed out on some charm & wit in the Black Friday deals :rotfl:.

    Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to pop music?

    My friend's preschool daughter asked me yesterday: were you a girl once?

    If I went shopping for a life, it would need to include a personal trainer. I don't want to go to my exercise club today. Just in case everyone decides they hate me between last week and now. And I worry that I will wet myself.. Which is a strange worry as it isn't likely to happen. I have nearly convinced myself to buy tena-lady. But that has it's own worries about whether it would be visible under my trousers and whether (get this!) it would somehow dislodge itself from my knickers, slide down my trouser leg and land on the floor in front of everyone.
