Hi Guys

Think, fingers x'd, I got broadband - don't want to tempt fate.

Enjoyed my weekend rest. Felt good yesterday but paying today. Feel dizzy and grumpy. OH and son are being great so not them. Will make it up to them later.

Off to the hospital tomorrow to get OH finger seen to. Will tag it onto a day out in Salisbury and shopping.

It is nice to be back where I used to live - it is so peaceful, shame it is only a short term rental:(

All I want to do is cry at the moment. I normally have a nice bubble bath to cheer myself up and I can't even do that at the moment.

And now I have so many of my friends coming to me being suicidal and saying they are going to do things to themselves and I can't deal with it, or help them even though I want to.

I feel like such a failure as a friend and as a person.

:hello: LadyM,

You are Not a failure,you are a great person,Just tell your friends you cant deal with their problems although you want to help them as you have problems of your own you have to deal with,dont let other peoples problems become a burden to you.I did that once and I had to tell them straight to sort it themselves or speak to a staff member if they were in a home.

*hugs*


love and light,

I tried. And they were like "You obviously don't want anything to do with me. I'll go and top myself then". I just feel like I can't win either way. I am really in that mood to just turn my phone off so I won't get texts and hide my laptop somewhere where I won't remember where it is so I'm not tempted to look at emails and go on msn, but then I'd miss everyone here.
I guess everything is just getting to me at the moment. I am so lucky that I have supportive friends here and I have Nikki, who is amazing and always makes me smile but I just wish I could help my friends who are in need.
I tell them that if they feel like they are going to harm themselves then to try and be around people or in worst case scenario go to A&E but they don't listen to me and they snap at me and say I'm trying to pass them on to someone else because I don't care. I do care but sometimes it feels like everyone wants a piece of me and there isn't enough left to sort myself out, if that makes sense. I always try to listen to my friends and help them but sometimes it just feels like some of them use me and only talk to me when they want something.:(

Sorry, I'm rambling again.

How are you today Tulip hun?

hi all, not been upto much, except had a guitar lesson this morning that went well. and saw an old friend this afternoon, who i haven't seen for ages.
other than that, i think i spend too much time online, avoiding real life and housework lol

ladym, (((((big hugs))))), you are not a failure hun, you have given your friends the best advice you can. sometimes we just can't help people because we have too many problems of our own, i tried once, and my mental health suffered more as a result. if they are real friends they will understand.

hi katie:j sounds like you have had a really fun day., sometimes wish i was more out going and had more friends, maybe one day, who knows?

big hugs all
