Hi hun,im still sat here lol, been looking at wardrobes and still not in stock in argos so will have to do home delivery.
I want to get a wii for my son, and the wii fit for me as i feel it will help me lol but id feel stupid doing it, its probaly fun lol.
Im so bored.I wish I had a car so me and littleman could go somewhere nice. I really want to take him somewhere nice, maybe somewhere like haven as he really wants to go there, ive been collecting the walkers brit trip points but it would mean id have to take him out of school for 2 days which i probaly wont be allowed. I dont like his new school.They keep going on how he is struggling with work and blame it on the moving about. Do they have to keep reminding me, I feel bad and guilty enough. Now i wish i never took him out of the old school but it was taking over an hour to get to the old school.
Katie have a nice day and enjoy your new game, I should get that for DS, is it still cheap and where di you get it from?
Hi SF, how are you?xx

Hello everyone.

Thought I'd post again today, as you're all so friendly over here.

Eldest is going to play with a friend after school, so I don't have to do the school run this afternoon, which I normally spend all day psyching myself up for. Have managed to make a start on clearing my kitchen, not exactly motivated but not completely incapable today.

Just saw my medication sitting in the kitchen cabinet and even thought to myself, why don't I give it another try. It must be a really good day for me, if I'm being considerate towards myself!!

I must get back to what I was doing or I'll just sit here surfing as I usually do.

Hope you all have a good day.

(((HUGS))) to everyone else, hope you're okay. xx

Hi SF, thanks for the mention. Still feeling low/numb. Last night was pretty bad, I've never SH'ed that badly before. Its not bad, but its a lot worse than I usually do. Stupid me did it on my arm too, so now got to try and keep it covered up until they heal. Urges still there. Pysch appointment in a fortnight. Things very bad at home, think my marriage might be over soon. I dunno, head is a mess. This guy best be worth all this!

Hi guys!:hello:
Rise and shine my little Tifflings! This is your friendly Tiffy alarm call - all part of the service, folks.

Care for some Tiffbits anyone? No? Well tough - you're getting them anyway!

pc - it's so lovely to hear from you hun! See, once you join the clan, it's a bit like the mafia - you can't leave it! I'm sorry for everything you and the family are going through. You're welcome here any time angel (you know that.;)) - when you can find the time, I know - whether it's for a little chat or a huge rant.

ettie b - hey hunnie, how are you? I hope the recovery is going to plan. I hope you're getting lots of love and support ethel - you so deserve it. Anyway, I'm thinking of you hun - much love to you and yours.

sazzeeeeeee! - where are you angel? I hope the counselling went well last night - I was thinking of you and in a good way too.;) Me helping you? In case you haven't noticed, I've named the cellar at Tiff Towers after you in your honour! Seriously hunnie, you're a wonderful soul and a brave one too. You have helped so many here and continue to do so regardless of what you go through. It's me who's thanking you for being part of my life and the good friend that you are.

shaz - hi hunnie - I'm sorry you're feeling so low. It was great to hear about your bowling - something for you at last.;)

...need hugs, feel so lonely, and isolated, spent the last two days with the kids and nobody else, they just talk to each other, usually bout football which i know nothing about, and i feel excluded.only time i'm wanted is to cook, and clean up after them

I know you're totally devoted to your boys angel and if it helps in any way, I and about four million other mothers, can completely relate to what you say. That's motherhood for you sweetie! You're doing a fantastic job shaz.

ladym - you did it again - you missed me just by a cat's whisker! Hope you're well hun. Good luck with getting the braces sorted angel - it'll be worth it. I'll reply to you more in detail as soon as I can. Take care ladym.

fg - how are you today hun?

fg wrote:

Struggling with binging/purging and SH'ed today. Just a bit all over the place, getting a lot more panic attacks too, and chest pains, although I assume thats panic attacks and not cos of the purging.

You are in a state, aren't you hun? Where chest pains are concerned fg, it's always better to let the dr diagnose what's causing them - it's not worth taking any risks. Let them tell you that it's a panic attack and get yourself checked out. It also concerns me to hear of the other actions you took yesterday fg - what's the situation with the psych angel? I know you've been globe-trotting, but please put your health first now you're home hun and do some following up. Feel better soon hunnie.

gem - hello sweetheart. Thanks for replying - I really have been worried about you gem. Couldn't get you off my mind, seriously - and not in a stalker kind of way.

gem - for some reason, you've been strongly been on my mind this weekend - don't worry, I'm not trying to borrow any money. It's lovely to see yet another of the old faithful around and you've always been such a sweetheart to people here. Look after yourself angel.

Tiff that is so strange,i had a really bad weekend,have been struggling for a while but it was the worst i have felt for a long while.I do feel a little better tonight though.This forum is a great help,to know you are not the only one with problems.Like a lot of people i find it hard to take my own advice but i have decided if i feel like that again i will go see my gp.I have managed without meds for about three years now but i think the menapause may be making me worse

Yes hunnie - the Tiffy radar rarely lets me down - ask sazzy! I get these very strong intuitions/empathy/alarm bells - whatever you'd like to call it - and I'm not usually wrong. And if I know you at all hun, you're the sort who will keep going silently, regardless. I know what you mean about not following your own advice.:whistle: Glad you're going to see the vet angel - you're precious to us.

rose - hi hun - lol - no, you don't need to get the wellies out for me angel. I just thought that you must need a new pair right now with all the walking you've been doing lately. (to our new friends - this goes back to our thread's 2nd home - aaah, those were the days!) Take care hun - good luck with the job hunting.

Testosterone section...

miro - come out, come out, wherever you are, hunnie! I really miss your dulcid tones on the thread angel. Please post when you can, even if it's just to let us know you're okay. Keeping you in my thoughts sweetheart.


gilly badgie - how are you sweetheart? You're too quiet - what you up to? Mind you gilly, from the description of your schedule right now, I don't think you have any time for mischief, do you? How did the mock exam go hunnie? Thinking of you sweetie. Safe journeys.

blinky - how's everything hunnie? I hope all is well with you and r? Plans for the wedding progressing nicely, I hope. Just wanted to rend you that you're 4 months in arrears with your smartie subscription and also that as self-appointed Hug Provider for the thread, the queue is getting really long! The natives are starting to get restless.

gario - and what are you up to mr.puddytat? I know keeping up with you is like trying to keep track of the Holy Grail, but please try and remember what time zone you're in angel and bring us tales of your adventures. Take care hun.

qb - hope all is well hun. Feel better soon and look after yourself ok?

Funny how we seem to only have about 5 or 6 regular men here, isn't it?
Gentlemen - or anyone else - please feel free to post here It is safe, I promise, so please don't be shy.

That's it for now guys - catnap scheduled at 1.17p.m.!
Make sure you drink a lot in this heat to stop dehydration and remember that some meds affect your UV tolerance and you may need to use a total sun-block.
:money: - If you need sun block due to your medication or illness, you can ask your dr to put it on your presription. It's because it's based on medical grounds and not because you're due in Madrid in a fortnight! The price they can be, it might be worth asking.

I'll catch up with you all later on guys. Look after yourselves and safe journeys.
Much Love,
Tiff xxx

Yup, I am in a state.

Pysch appointment in on the 20th. Was really positive when I saw her in Febuary, but now I'm really low again. I've written a list of things I need to mention, so hopefully that'll help and something will happen. Although not sure what, if anything. Suppose they can increase medication or change to a different type.

Not looking into private treatment - things aren't good at home so I can'treally persuade OH to fund it.

I'll mention the chest pains to Doctor when I'm back in a month or so. Its got a lot worse with the increased purging, so either its related to that, or whats causing me to purge more is giving me anxiety attacks.

feelinggood_2

Sorry SF, my head isn't with it today. How are you today?

LadyMorticia

I'm so going to ache tomorrow. Dance mat is too much fun. As is the Natalie Cassidy workout dvd (works up a sweat too). I am now very hot - not out of breath though, which makes a change.lol.

I just ordered a PS2 game from Amazon called "Dance Revolution". It's a game that allows you to use your own CDs and it generates dance moves for them. It's my kind of thing, as the songs that are pre-programmed on these dance games aren't really my type of music.lol.

I didn't manage to go out today. I woke up not feeling great. and feeling anxious, which is why I did some exercise, to burn the anxious energy, instead of taking it out on myself like usual. It kind of helped but I still want to sh, but I'm soldiering on.

How is everyone today?

xx

feelinggood_2

Hi LM, nice to see you. Don't know how you can dance in this heat! All I'm managing to do is sit around! Good idea though, exercising to get rid of nervous energy, I'll have to try that. Well done on soldiering on, I know how hard that is. Whats your plan for the rest of the day? Any news on plumbers? I've got two property inspections today, forgot how stressful it is having people walking through your home.

Have managed to do 12 mins on the Wii fit today. That's more than I've done before and I did some of the aerobic stuff so I got quite hot and sweaty!!

Have been doing some washing and just surfing the various forums I'm on, everything from craft to holidays, money saving (obviously!) and shopping sites.

Now going to hang out some more washing and get some sun.
