Does it basically mean I'm a write-off? Do you get any help at all? I'm scared now that I won't get any help or support

Not at all hun. Were you diagnosed by a consultant? What normally happens is that you will be referred to your local mental health team (if you haven't been already) and will be assessed as to what help you need. With me I was asked what help I thought I needed and it was taken from there. Normally you'll be given a care co-ordinator, who will sort out what people invoved with you will be doing with regards to your care. Mine was my CPN - until she bloomin !!!!!!ed off and left me without care.lol.
Don't worry hun. You'll get help. If anything, it's easier to get help when you've been diagnosed.

Hi everyone!, didn't return yesterday decided to have a go at entering a few competitions, doubt I'll win though, everyone else being so lucky.

RBK my support group was ok, there were only 4 others there this week, made it a bit easier for me. There's only a couple of sessions to go and then what? Nothing much has changed!

How I hate life sometimes!

Arrggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh!!!

That's better now I have had a scream

Could not sleep last night till 5am up at 10am.

Everything is driving me nuts - two online banks played me up and you have ring them and they don't do what they say they will do. Why is everyone so pathetic and useless? If I slip a millimetre, I get a row but everyone else gets away with being useless. It's not fair.

Our son is complaining about having no money but hasn't banked £200 worth of cheques for weeks - is it coz he's a boy or is it a 20 year old fault (no offence to younger people here). I wish he would get his act together. He has a PT bar job and waiting on a second interview from a company who are taking forever to come back but not looking for other work. He is out till all hours and not up till God knows when (OK he will have to sleep in on days he is doing late shifts but not the evenings off!!) I wish he would grow up - if I had had what he had at 20 I would have been laughing and would have got a row off my parents if I had even done a fraction of what he does that annoys us.

Is it coz I am a woman, expected to be perfect and endure other people's faults and not have mine understood.

I'll be a bum too, I spent years putting up with cr *p at school to get good grades and what for? I didn't get a good career when I was younger coz I was a married woman and that meant 2nd class opportunities.

Why bother even trying if you get prejudice at every corner by idiots masquerading as normal?

It bloody sucks:mad:

How do you cope with insomnia and feeling treated unfairly?

hi all,

Feeling so tangled up at the moment ...


I have my diss due on Friday and I just feel so sick of the sight of it. I dont think I will ever manage to get it anywhere near passable. Im sure my tutor is going to rip into it so badly - we dont particularly get on anyway....

I had to sign on this morning and feeling quite bad about lying as I have to be available for F/T work so pretending I am interesting in these jobs. I just dont feel up to it not to mention having so much uni work I need to do still ... I havent viewed my ac since I lost my job as I am in so much debt - my od was around 1,500 and I know I need to check it as I only have it authorised for up to 2,000 but I just cant.

I keep getting spate's of anger towards people ... my flatmates hogging the tv (if its not one of them its another) and them not doing anything around the house. I do everything pretty much, the recycling, changing the bin, general tidying. They leave there rubbish where it lands and when I moved my washing up liquid from the sick as it was costing me a futune to keep replacing they stopped washing up - one for a whole week, she uses all my kitchen stuff and I didnt have a single plate, dish or any cutlery left by the end of the week.... theyre just not bothered by it tho.

I hope everyone else is feeling better than me,

Jen

hi,
as you may have gathered, ive had such a bad few weeks.
first the hol.....5 out of 7 days it peed down.took dhs 12 year old cousin,who i swear has 666 tatooed somewhere on him.he was bored ALL the time,had the table manners of a 5 year old(who eats beans and toms with their fingers and uses a spoon and fork like a jcb coming towards their month )...had no manners whatso ever and just kept pushing in front of us all the time:mad: incase he missed out on anything.was like an extra jumper.his mum only packed cut offs and designer(highly suspect???)t shirts and flip flops that squeked REALLY LOUDLY when wet:mad: .any normal mother would pack a varied assortment cos it can rain and get cold abroad:mad: .told ds that he hated me...the feeling was mutual.only took him cos they had taken ds to skeggy last year.he was only happy when he was spending everyones dosh but his own,....get the pic
2nd nite,ceiling over shower, almighty leak.ceiling bubbled up so had towels down all nite and nearly all next day.fixed that ,then went for shower nite after.dh set it going for me and then just as he went throu door,plastic pipe on boiler exploded:eek: ...red hot steam everywhere, couldnt see hand in front of my face...and red hot water spurnting all over floor so tiles were really slippy.
i started screaming cos i couldnt get out.the window was 1 foot square so only exit was past exploding boiler bang at side of bathroom door.had to hold up a towel between me and boiler and was sprayed with red hot water, while slipping on hot water on floor tiles.
i was so tramatised as you can imagine,cos i kept thinking what i would have done if i had been on my own with door shut.
it was due to a faulty thermostat and the temp was so hot, it melted the plastic pipe.
who puts an open boiler with plastic pipes in a bathroom next to exit?????:mad:
the manager offered us free b/fasts for the week if i signed a disclaimer, absolving them of responsibility and not persueing any further.
i declined.....the rep was worse than useless and couldnt even spell on the incident form, which took him 2 days to get for us.if we hadnt told an old couple with their grand kids next door, the same would have happened to them, or worse.
dhs been in to the travel agents when we came back and threatened them with watchdog and the local paper if we dont get some compensation so we have to wait 2 weeks for the reply.
we got back and lawnmower broke.
we got back tues ,picked charlie up from kennels on wed.he had lost loads of weight but had a cough so dh took him to vets on thurs to check.she said he had cancer and would have only another week so was kinder to put him to sleep.
we were devastated and cant believe whats happened and how fast.its so quiet and we keep expecting him to rush into the lounge or be sunbathing in the garden.he had a strange way of curling his lip so it looked like he was smiling.he was 71/2 which was quite good for a dane as they are such big dogs that they dont reach an old age.i feel awful as his last week was spent in a kennel then he went to vets ...so it must have seemed to him like he had done something really awful.think thats the worse bit, cos we would never have gone if we had known and the hol turned out to be carp.
i keep having nitemares that im trapped in the bloody bathroom and the boilers run dry and the whole thing comes off the wall ,hurtling towards me...and i wake up drenching in sweat
i keep thinking of charlie and cant help breaking down in tears.id love another dog but i cant bear the pain of losing another cos you get so close,like kids.
been one of the worst few weeks of my life, as you can imagine.it could have been from a soap script if it wasnt real life.
i just wish we could win enough to go on another hol cos i could do with the rest.
btw, dhs cousin heard about charlie and foned to say sorry...then asked what we were doing with his food, cos shes got a dog.the nerve of the family is unreal.sad thing is, they dont realise they are doing anything wrong.cousin was spitting on hol, so i told him to stop.he asked, what wrong with spitting.i said it was disgusting and common and he thought i was barking ...and gave me one of his scowls, of which number i have lost count.if he had been chastised a bit more often instead of being encouraged in bad behaviour,then he wouldnt have turned into a bad mannered, rude, greedy ,little chav who thinks hes gods gift to the world but perhaps its only me
i hope you are doin all the best you can and i havent missed anything major. take care everyone,
love ilgd xx
apologies for the long post.really helps to get it off my chest.thanks for listening.x

You have my sympathies which is why I could never do the flat share thing. It is bad enough having to see my OH and son's areas - they are barred from the rest of the place.

Why are there so many sluts (in the messy sense) in the world and how can they ever do well?

Horasio

ILGD - I agree I detest bad manners but when you have someone elses spawn of the devil to deal with - I would say I won't have the brat again till he gets some manners - you don't need it.

I do worry how the world is going with increasing inefficiency and bad manners. All the manners and efficiency I was taught is a waste of time and getting annoyed that I am being told I am in the wrong for being upset about it.

I might as well get fat and spend all my money, then the government can keep me in my old age.

and nearly forgot...
had to go to dentist fri to have 3 teeth out and a new denture and £200 to pay for the pain of it....
that definitely capped the fortnite off....
