  • Aw, I understand the feeling Melly, but am very glad to hear that you won't. Do call Healthy Minds tomorrow they need to realise how urgent this is. OH isn't the only one to think about here, it is a huge strain on you as well and you need support.

    Sorry, cross posted Melly

    Could you cover his plate and then reheat it for his next meal? If it was me he'd get it reheated for a month until he ate it, we can't afford to waste food!
  • Quick post for MELLY . Sending you gentle hugs and good luck vibes for your phone calls tomorrow . As one who has in the past been pushed to my limits I recognise how you must be feeling right now . As WAS said we make allowances at times for other peoples lashing out verbally when stressed but when it becomes a habit we have to rein it in . I will make some allowance but when it crosses a line I state clearly that it is not acceptable .
    You are trying so hard to sort so many things right now . Try to remember the advice given to parents on flights , you put your own oxygen mask on first because if you can't breathe you can't help your children to breathe .
    You need to look after yourself right now . It's such a shame parts of the MH system are broken at the moment and everything is so hard to access but you need support for other half and the chance to deal with recovering yourself .
    I hope you get some positive feedback tomorrow . Fingers crossed dwp will come through . Try to get some sleep sweetheart .

    Love polly x

    Just wanted to say hi.. I've been pretty low still and still recovering from the surgery. I've been feeling pretty introverted, but I do read your posts. Sorry to read about your struggles, guys,.. Tory.. I'm sorry to hear you've not been feeling good about yourself.. you've been really kind to me here, when things have fallen apart for me, and your support of others.. that';s not someone who is useless .. Melly, good luck tomorrow x
    Many thanks to all who contribute on MSE :)

    I also need to get focused on the presentation cos I need to work not just for money let's face it I am ill enough to claim but because getting out of the house keeps me sane

    While we were asleep a car apparently lost control and smashed into the front of our car along with road sign. The police have just woken us up to tell us. Our car was parked on the drive. WaSp is currently getting a crime number and assessing how much damage is done with the police. This is...annoying. No one was hurt and a man has been arrested. He also failed to stop and attempted to drive off but luckily someone reported him. There is a lot of damage to the front of the car and it is undrivable.
