Bit of a downer at the minute, been thrifty the last week or two bar the big splash out on a months worth of butchers meat.


Relative who stupidly got involved with a loan shark has asked me to borrow £150 to pay the loan shark off, they will pay it back but they are the sort where it will be £5 here and there and take like a year to pay off if not more.


Not the first time it happened, but it digs deeper as I am on disability benefits, and they do have genuine reason as they have mental health issues so are taken advantage of by loan sharks as they think the person is their friend saying don't worry about paying it back, then coming back like a day later and demaning double, then triple day after (it has happened before) so a vulnerable person is getting taken advantage of but I have my own mental health issues.

Loan sharks are illegal.

Had a good birthday well Swain was in a bit of a bad mood on the thursday as he found out hes not being put on the job he wanted at work and instead has the crappier job. But he took me ut yesterday and we had nice food and he bought me a few bits Went out last night for the forst time in a year! Usually i have a habit of doing a runner home about an hour in but i lasted till 3am! I made the wise choice of pacing myself and not drinking much and having soft drinks in between. And i had no hangover today :j Although i got covered in glitter and its EVERYWHERE.

Got a text from PIP saying they have my form (whihc i sent off 4 months ago!) so expecting an assesment, which i'm worried about. Money is also a bit of an issue. Im supposed to have enough money in my account to pay of 1/4 of my overdraft but i dont quite have it and rent goes out next week. I've told swain i plan to have it in there by end of the momnth which is hopefully doable. I just hate having bipolar because it makes me impulsive and i find sticking to a budget impossible I may wthdraw what i need for the week and give Swain my bank card. That might work.

I haven't been here for a while because I have been telling myself I'm fine and coping, but I'm not fine and not coping.
Lots going wrong at the moment, and I really just want to run away. I'm overthinking like I always do and always imagining the bleakest outcome. I can't even face typing it all up to explain but I would appreciate any hugs and positive vibes.

Sending positive vibes too. On the plus side, if you're imagining the worst then the actual outcome is likely to be a lot better than you fear.
