aww you poor thing hun, keep the good fight going tho

i know what you mean, my closest friends live in london, very farr away for me, not just an easy train journey. so i avent seen them in 2 - 3 years. we speak every now and again but its hard. so understand on that front.
as for your friends that have kids, cant you go round to thiers, kids can be tucked up in bed while you have a chat and chill with your friends. im an auntie to about 3 children coz a few people i know have children. im auntie rosie that comes by whenever people are stressed and entertain the kiddie with a bedtime story, which is usually bob the builder. or thomas the tank engine. i know all the engines names:rotfl:

i know what you mean about livin in the wrong place, its soo how i feel, im trapped and isolated where i am, not easy to get anywhere. but hun, if your truly not happy, do something about it, move get jobs etc..i ave applied for jobs all over the place. sometimes we just need that someone to give us a chance.

yeah soz for the lack of posting atm, im really going thru it , just alot going on. and im feelin quite unwell.

u take care hun

Dawny - get in the bath hun ok? Get yourself warm. I know this sounds really weird, but talking about it actually helps control it. Keeping it all in doesn't control it - somehow it finds its own way out and often in a way that isn't very helpful, if you see what I mean.

Sxxx

I just got out. I ended up lying there, even though the water was getting colder and colder I just couldn't fetch myself to get out! :mad:
I really really can't talk Sazbo - this is something I mentioned to my counsellor when I had one - that I felt there was a wall between me and everyone else and I felt totally unable to relax and talk about my feelings etc with anyone. I thought he might have had a suggestion or two on how to resolve this. But I guess not.
I literally just end up crying and feel unable to even open my mouth!!

I'm terrified that when I go back to work I will just breakdown in front of everyone again.

I guess it doesn't help that I keep totally forgetting to takemy meds and I probably have forgotten to take a weeks worth or maybe more but I don't dare tell my doctor.

hi dawny

i agree with saz, much as we may want to keep our feelings in side, they have a way of sooner of later coming to the surface.
i keep things in, but it doesnt help it just builds up and thats when i explode, doesnt help me or anyone around me.
do you think you could start a diary, just writing little things to start with. maybe write it down here if you want. just soo you can let some of it out.

take care x

Hi Rose, I feel I need to because I don't like other people to see me getting worked up the way I do, especially as it almost always seems to be over nothing and they don't understand why I am being so over dramatic.
I don't know about writing a diary. I wouldn't know what to say or anything :o

What I did was start off slowly. I only did 12 hours at first, and then I did occasional overtime when I felt up to it. This year I increased my hours permanently to 22, although I've been doing overtime recently to bump that up to over 30.
Is there any way that you can do something similar? Or have more breaks or delegate some of your tasks to other people?
If not, then I'm a strong believer in what Tiff and a few other people have said. You have to do things every day, like getting dressed etc, and then you'll start to feel better. You wouldn't be going back if you couldn't cope with it, so you just need to believe that and it will get easier in time.

Can you write down your feelings? Get one of those kids books with a lock on it if it makes you feel better that no one can read it. It's usually easier than telling people, and it will help you work things through in your head.

Hey Juno x

As much as I would love to go back on less hours, we simply can't afford for me to. And I cannot imagine that I will be allowed extra breaks!! 10 mins morn, half hour lunch and 10 mins afternoon - like everyone else. We are allowed comfort breaks, but we have to make sure they are not too high.
I also can't delegate. I am just a representative like everyone else and the aim is for us to all work together as a team to ensure all of our calls are answered and within a certain time.

I am going back on the 17th and so up til then I am trying to practise - I am getting up same time every day, getting washed, dressed and ensuring that I would have time to walk to work without being late (so I know I can do it when the time comes - or know what time I need to be up by in order to get there on time anyway) eating meals same time every day, going to bed same time every day etc etc.

I guess I just feel a little silly writing it down - I don't know what to say. I find myself being careful about what I am writing - as if I may even offend the diary?? :mad:

dawnylou

Anyway - so sorry for bringing everything down again. I have a terrible headache now.
Fiance is home now so am going to have a bite to eat and a cuddle...

Hope everyone else is doing ok x

In an ideal world, your head and your heart would be in the same place.

I wouldn't worry too much about lack of texts. I had a relationship where I didn't get text for 3 or 4 days at a time.

I think Nickeback 'Rockstar' should be your next song, with no words cut out.

That'll win you 1st prize.

Better still, Scooter - Logical Song.

You have to do The Smurfs bit though
