Here we can all be heard for a little while. Part 3

whitewing

I'd love to meet you in real life, WaS. One day, however far in the future you like, perhaps you would like to come for coffee and biscuits with me and littlewing?

(Hark at me, getting sociable!)

Awww, that is a lovely offer, whitewing! Let's aim for that for the future. I promise you I don't look odd in any way (I think!), or at least people don't run from me! It is just so hurtful to be judged on something I have no control over, I can't make make it go away.

I am going to quote Shakespeare because it sums up how I feel about my myself right now-

"If you pr1ck us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die?"

I have mental health problems but I am just the same as everyone else. They aren't the sum of me and it hurts so much when people seem not to see that. Hate and/or run from me for being me for all means, but not just because I am unwell. That just isn't fair and I am helpless to try to counteract it.

How are you feeling these days, Welly? Are you sleeping any better?

I'm picking up again thanks Pyxis. Sleep is pretty non-existent but it's OCD/anxiety related so I have given in and gone back on my medication. It should start kicking in soon I hope!

I hope so, too. You need your sleep.,
Anxiety over Escapette is normal, you know, it may just be stretched a bit. I can honestly say that I didn't relax for years. Years.




WaS, I know someone who compartmentalises her friends. She won't see me on this day because she's seeing Friend A, or on that day because she's seeing Friend B. That's not so very strange, but then when I say I'd like to go and see such and such show, and find she's going with Friend C but doesn't want me to go as well, it starts feeling silly! (By the way, I've never met these friends, so it's not like they've said to her," don't ever invite me if Pyxis is going, will you!" :rotfl:)

One time I asked if she'd like to see such and such show, and yes, she would, so I said I'd get the tickets. Then my neighbour said she'd like to go, so I got her a ticket too. My friend seemed quite put out.

Ok, sometimes you do just want to be with a certain friend or friends, but there's nothing wrong with mixing and matching from time to time as well.
To be honest, I find the segregation irritating and a bit insulting. One can't help wondering if one is too strange for her other friends to cope with! :rotfl:

That's how I felt Pyxis! Was I too weird to meet her other friends or family? I really am not some strange person! I think...

In far more cheerful news I watched Minions and I adore Bob! So much so that WaSp bought me a Bob cuddly toy, this is the man who sighs deeply everytime a new toy arrives. Minions is a wonderful film, not triggering at all and just cute and hilarious.

I just realised that I compartmentalise my friends!
Not intentionally, it just has never occurred to me to mix and match. I guess because I see my friends in specific situations e.g. hobbies and so they are unlikely to cross paths anyway.

Evening,

Had a really nice time on my date this afternoon. So shall see how that goes.

Got another one for next saturday with someone from 60 miles away and they traveling to see me.

I have decided I am not meeting the one tomorrow. I am going to go around my husbands for lunch and if not raining do a little bit more tidying up of his garden for him.

I came home to find the kitchen hot tap running. It was not full on but enough for the water to be hot. It was steaming in the washing up bowl. I got my lodger to come down and said can you please be more careful. His reply was you do it. As I said to him not as full on as that, it might a a quick drip. It had been running like that for at least 15 minutes. I suspect longer. He knows the tap is iffy. But does not seem to take care.

I have been watching some classic films the last few days. Hitchcocks vertigo never seen that one before. Very interesting twist to that one. And rear window which I really like and have seen before.

I am off to watch a film. So good night everybody :rotfl:

Yours

Calley

I think that is one of my favourite Shakespeare quotes.

I totally get the friends thing. I had a friend and we were very, very close or so I thought. Suddenly she just stopped answering any communications and it hurts when someone does that
