    Know why I was so tired yesterday, am ill today and didn't go in to work. Have the tiredness / achyness / headache and sore throat of a cold without having the sniffles, whatever kind of virus that is!

    Only been up a few hours but ready for bed again :p

    Draw a Bird Day:

    Look folks. I've started a thread in the Arms as it's Draw a Bird Day. Would you draw a bird and post it on?

    I'm the world's worst drawer, so the robin I've done is pathetically awful! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    So don't let a lack of skill put you off! Hahahahahahahahahah!

    That's a good quote Tory :) Today was so stressful, the agency finally agreed to get the drain man in to flush the pipes, but he was late, and I was frantic, worrying that he'd still be cleaning them when the psychologists were here, he managed to do it with 5 minuites spair, and it contributed to being a bit stressy and ranty. I have no idea how it went. They asked me lots of questions. They are taking it to a meeting and will let me know on wed at 3, if I've passed the 1st round. If so, round 2 will be intensive personality assessments. I thought that I would be told today, so it's going to weigh heavily on my mind til I hear.. I'm keeping my fingers crossed though, the centre sounds so good and I desperately want to be given a place. Thanks for rooting for me guys.. what would I do without you all ! ((safe hugs to everyone , )) you're all awesome :) x

    Thank you sooooooo much for sharing that with us. :A

    And you were very eloquent! I hadn't understood bulimia in quite that way before, so it was very enlightening.

    I can fully understand the emotions you describe.

    But congratulations for fighting it. It sounds like you have come a very, very long way! That's to be applauded! :T:T:T
    And it sounds like you've done it on your own, too. That's brilliant!

    The fact that you're fighting it shows how strong you are.

    You have my admiration, Codey! :):):)

    Apologies for deleting. It just felt too personal and was making me anxious. It's all part of the Nobody must know thing.

    Ah, never mind. :A

    I thought it was very, very good though.

    Is my post ok, or would you rather I delete it?




    Remember, nobody gets judged on here. We all have demons. Yours don't make you worse than mine make me.

    No, its ok. I think my last addition has made me realise why I freaked out and that I should post it. I will attempt to reproduce it again later.

    What Pyxis said code x x

    Thanks for sharing that, it's helped me to understand a lot better as I'm the first to admit it, I have no idea about ED's at all. I don't think a lot of people do tbh, even though they think they do. You explained it very well.

    I did, pyxis, I hope they understand I'm worried they are going to say that it's not the right time to go there, as I've got so many big problems, they did say that was possible. I felt like they were trying to put me off, they said that my medical probs would be a barrier to attending.. I assured them not, that I have a car. I am so furious that my agency put me though another 24 hours of sewage hell.. it really was insanely stressful with the drain man leaving me with 5 mins spare. I need this help, if they don't take me, they will leave me with no mental health support, and I'm only going to deteriorate further the longer I get left with no help. . half a decade with no support and a truck load of trauma and illness , I've been declining so much since then. It's crazy when it is possible to be too unwell to get help! I assured them I am ready to make changes, and that I'm very driven, and that I respond well to positive input, I just haven't had much positive stuff in the last 5 years. It's been a living hell, all this medical negligence and 5 major surgeries. I am praying they will take me.
