Hi guys!:hello:
Well, I imagine that by now, more than one of you has guessed that something is very much amiss at Tiff Towers over this last couple of weeks. Big adventures occurring, for wont of a better description, that will manifest themselves in detail at some point through The Tiff Chronicles ~ Part 8.
I have enough love and respect for you all to 'fess up finally and I'm only sorry that I can't give everyone the detailed answers that I want to and that they deserve. So I plead very much guilty to second rate Tiffing, as charged. So a couple of emergency Tiff-bits for now...

dawny - hunnie, I hope you'll listen to old Tiffy and trust in the words of someone who has been there. The very worst thing you can do is to stay silent and to not tell your doctor about missing your meds. You don't need to look for a way to hide it all sweetheart - what you really need is a safe way to let it all out. Things that stay buried have a tendency to decay angel. You are not in the best situation you can be in right now hunnie, because you are not being honest enough to get the help you deserve. If your meds aren't taken regularly sweetie, then you're not going to feel better. Your dr can help with this. Don't live in fear of your dr, angel - they're human and should not be angry with any patient, especially someone with mental ill health. I can hear your anguish sweetie and by trying to hold everything together through keeping it secret, you are hurting yourself more and not helping yourself. Believe that you can change this situation hunnie. I'm with you in thought sweetheart.

shaz - hold on to things when you can, and know when to accept or ask for help. You're having a heavy load to carry right now angel and I want you to remember what a great survivor you are.

steph - make decisions calmly and without anger angel. I see why you're so upset. Wait for the anger & pain to ease a little and take a step back if you can.

miro - bless you - I wonder if I'm the only one to see a new and improved miro emerging? Whether you realise it ot not hunnie, I have never heard you sound so strong and have such clarity of expression and the most marvellous sense of humour. Sweetheart, trust Tiffy -
you're going to get your happy ever after. Oh and to help in your fight to win her...




horace - don't you go over-doing it sweetie. I hope you'll feel better soon. And just for you...



ettie b - I'm thinking of you hunnie and send much love. I wish you good luck with your op sweetheart and if all else fails, there's all those lovely doctors to chase.

ilgd - just a reminder angel -




cb2 - you don't know just how much you make me smile - thinking of you, angel.

bmf - how are you hunnie? I'm behind with my pms, so sorry I've not replied to all who deserve one. You behave yourself ok?!

sazzy - one of our lovely resident guardian angels - where would we be without you sweetheart? I'm so proud of you. By the way...



I hate to hear you all in so much pain and please don't be offended if I've not mentioned you by name.

Well peeps, 2 weeks ago, all hell let loose here. My Dad's only brother, my wonderful uncle died suddenly, his wife was admitted to hospital as he was her carer and it was a week before she knew her husband had passed away, the day after that, one of their sisters had a heart attack and was in critical care and she only found out this week that her brother had died, then my mum was rushed into hospital with breathing difficulties and irregular heart beat and because I was poorly I couldn't visit (germs etc) - but thank God, she finally came home last night. I felt bad because I'd been telling her how hard things are for me right now and then the next day, she's in hospital - serious guilt trip, although she wouldn't have wanted it any other way. And that was all in that one week - felt like my world was gone and all I was fit for was posting stupid cat pics. There's been a lot of other stuff going on too, but I hope this goes a long way to explaining the second rate Tiffster who's been present of late.

I've got to go now guys. I'm leaving for my uncle's funeral in just over an hour, which will be quite an ordeal as you might imagine. I just wanted to be honest finally with you all about the last couple of weeks and to say sorry for not beig the best Tiff I could be for you lovely people. I'm not sure exactly when I'll be up to proper Tiffing, I'm really struggling tbh, but be warned...I'll be back - and soon! And the key to the smartie cupboard is coming with me! Oh - and feel free to blame sazzy and miro for everything while I'm gone!

And finally, as they say,...



Oh and if anyone sees that gilly-badger, grab hold of him and give him a cold shower - sounds like the joys of the spring to come, have set him off early this year!

See you soon. Be kind to yourself guys - and safe journeys.
Much Love,
Tiff xxx

Hi Tiff. I am just scared to admit it to my doctor as I feel that she will see it as if I can't be bothered to help myself so why should she bother helping me? I am scared she will be angry at me, or think I am taking the !!!!.
I wondered maybe if I could work out how many I have missed altogether I could start afresh now?

Just had a call to say that my Auntie was found dead this morning. So I'm having mixed feelings today.

I'm so sorry you have been having such a hard time
Please don't think like that - all I was fit for was posting stupid cat pics - because we don't see it like that. We see that you are a lovely strong and caring individual going out of her own way to spread some cheer and love and let others know they are not alone...

We all love you Tiff. I hope today goes as well as it possibly can in the circumstances. x

Dawny I'm so sorry to hear about you aunt. Are you ok hun?

The doctor wont be angry with you at all - she is there to help you hun. You want to get better and she's there to support you in that.

Big hugs,
Saz xxxx
