We all need to be heard for a little while.

Ooooh, that could work Solar! I wouldn't be lying to anyone either, being on the floor is being in a undignified position so that is the truth. I have problems myself here because when someone asks me to promise something I never break the promise unless it is totally unavoidable, I also hate having to lie, especially to Wasp.

Also, that is a very good idea about having something under the bed to cover her. I don't think that she would be strong enough to pull a sheet off of the bed but if she has something on hand to cover herself with then that will make her feel better if she does need to press her panic button.

Hahahaha Calley, the police might have been surprised but amused! Yes, I think she may have to invest in some light clothing for bed, I may buy her something pretty as a gift. Sadly, her mobility will only get worse and eventually she may need help getting out of bed so we are going to have tackle the sleeping in underwear problem for that reason alone.

I use to go out for midnight drives in my dressing gown, a pair of knickers, no bra and trainers!!!!

I've been known to go out in my pj bottoms (with a vest top/t-shirt) and slippers before! Usually only to my Mam and Dad's house or the drive through Maccy D's though!

Dressing gown and no bra eh?! They'd have thought you were a flasher! :rotfl:

Having something to cover up with on hand seems like a good idea.

I;ve just been reminded of a time i was a festival and needed medical treatment (a crowdsurfer landed on my neck and knocked me out! :eek) i was wearing a vest top and i remember a very kind st johns ambulance man covering me up with a blanket as i was somewhat...exposed (boobs..boobs everywhere) :eek:

Another thing to think of WaS is would you be able to manage to get her back up on your own?

When my Dad fell trying to get back into bed once, my and my Mam couldn't manage to lift him back in. By then he hardly weighed anything bless him, but due to him being so weak and not having the strength to try and stand, it made him really heavy and we had to phone for DH in the end.

Aww he looks very chilled out!

I shall take a pic of Swain's kitty tomorrow if she lets me! She was weird with me the other night, on minute she was nuzzling me and wanted fussing, the next i stroked her and she tried to claw me! cats are temperamental creatures!

I did not reply to you Pyxis about my driving.

I just don't feel safe. I am scared of having an accident and hurting someone.

I spend a lot of time with my ex. We are best friends. I help him a lot due to his stroke and being disabled. He can't drive so I take him shopping, days out etc. He does not have many friends like me. So we go out for meals, coffee and I go round and sit and watch TV with him so we both have company.

When we go out together I am always asking him did I hit that car. I did not run anyone over etc.

I did one day of temping last week before I bottled it. And I talked out loud all the way to my destination. What was coming up and what speed I needed to do etc. It took me 6 attempts to pass in the first place. So never been that really confident. I can also do stupid things and get a bit aggressive behind the wheel.

I am normally very quiet and shy which is why I don't know why I can get like that. At the moment I really don't like myself at all mentally or physically and can see very much why no one would want to be with me.

As once I start to see someone they very much become my life and I want to spend time with them. I do understand that they have other things to do. But get very annoyed and angry when they all they ever do is keeping just fobbing me off. So have decided that I won't be bothering again with a relationship for a very long time if ever again.

Sun shine here today. I hope every one is well. I am going to strip the bed and put it in the machine. I might well re-make the bed and go back to it. Just see how I feel after it's been re-made.

Yours

Calley, re the driving, those seem like the types of thought patterns that might respond to CBT. Has that, or seeing a psychologist, ever been suggested to you?

I wrote a message at 7:40 this morning, but it has vanished. Perhaps I'm not meant to be here. I was worried that it had information about me that would make me recognisable to anyone who knew me. Maybe the fates are protecting my anonymity?

No I have not seen a psychologist. I think mainly because I have never discussed this with my Dr, and due to all the carp things that have happened in my life that my Dr thinks its just depression I am suffering from.

As I said before I have always been a worrier, shy and a bit anxious about things. But for a long I time I coped as I had a loving caring husband. But of course once he had the stroke that all went. How I coped while he was in hospital for nearly 3 and half months I don't know but I did.

Personally think this has been a long time coming. And then had to cope all on my own. Then someone keep coming in and out of my life for the last 3 years. Who I sadly thought wanted a relationship with me has kinda left me on the ropes and no longer able to cope.

Yours
