    Been having a tough time with a friend of mine. I feel she only sees me as a convenience rather than a friend. She only contacts me when she wants something.

    My other very good friend (who is like the mother I never had) pointed out that I have enough problems of my own to deal with and that I should keep my distance and sort myself out. She told me not to get roped into letting her stay here because I have my own place. I have BPD so when people are in my house I get very freaked out. I want to help my other friend as best I can but whenever I've needed her for support she has never been there and I've always supported her. I feel like she only contacts me when she wants something. That's not how friendship is supposed to work.

    Anywho, my good friend and I were emailing last night and she really cheered me up and said she is going to help me get all the help I need and is encouraging me to discuss everything with the doctor.
    At least I have someone in my life who makes me feel empowered. She has such a good sense of humour too and always cheers me up. :)
    I think she wants to punch my ex though.lol.

    Morning all.
    Hope everyone is well.
    I feel so exhausted I just don't understand it. I was reading a book at his Mams yesterday and I kept falling asleep so we came home. I went to bed by 10pm, woke up about 8am. Kept falling asleep again so only just got up now. But still I am so tired I keep feeling myself nodding off!
    I am back at work on Monday - what if I fall asleep at work? I feel like I am lining myself up for the sack!!!

    And I am still !!!!ed off at myself for the weekend. My friend came round with all the gossip - I told her boyfriend F You (Even though I realy like him and think he is really good for her) don't know why I would do that??? Maybe he tried to tell me I had had enough to drink? I coldn't walk, which is why I am so bruised everywhere as I just kept collapsing. I tried to walk home without my shoes on and it had rained so my tights got soaked (and even then I had to be carried) then when I got in my feet were soaked so I took my tights off which led to a flash!! :(
    I then fell asleep. With my contacts in too!

    I am disgusting. I am mortified at myself. I had done really well to not get into a state like this at all since I started my meds and had even managed to go without alcohol at all for quite some time. I don't know why I do this??

    My Fiance was upset that I was upset the day after and he said he would have stopped me from drinking if he had realised the state I was getting into but as he had had quite a few he didn't realise.

    The sad thing is is that I texted my friend to apologise the day after and she said not to worry, that her and her boyfriend had had a good night and that I was funny. And says he had said it was good that I could let my hair down so much after a drink.

    I don't understand why they think it is funny? I am a monster when I am drunk. It's not funny at all. I hate myself for it. And yet once I get to the point where I know I have had enough I don't seem able to stop????

    Anyway as usual I have just dropped right in here and grumbled and grumbled and probably lowered everyone elses mood for the day so I will now get my coat. :(



    Horace - I hope your eyes feel better soon :)
    Steph - I am glad that you and your fella have made up, but just don't let him walk over you too much huni :)
    Juno - I hope Amy is well today :)
    Tulip - I hope your Dad is recovering well :) He needs some homemade chicken soup!! :)
    Ethel - I hope your op went ok :)

    Sorry to not personally mention everyone, but I can feel myself nodding off again :( so big hugs to everyone else x

    Heylo there. :)

    Sometimes it varies by doctor but in general they ask about sleeping patterns, any medicines you might be taking, what you do during the day to keep yourself occupied, if you have problems going out, ask about social life etc.
    That's what my doctor did with me anyway. :)

    Hope this helps.

    Much love.
