Sorry I did a disappearing act yesterday. I felt really anxious and just so horrible and didn't want to bring anyone down so I came offline for a while - okay over 12 hours but that's not the point.lol.

Getting increasingly nervous about tomorrow. I'm terrified. What if they refuse me help because my ED isn't bad enough? Or the waiting list for therapy is so long that it's not worth giving me it?

Hi guys!:hello:
I hope everyone is safe and sound this sunny Mewsday morning.
Erm, pardon me for just a minute guys....

AAARRGGHH!!!

And also...

:wall:
...and finally - !!!

The reason for this caterwaul? DS will find out his final grade for his Performing Arts Diploma today!
We thought it would be Thursday, as they leave college on Friday, but DS came in last night and said they each have an appointment with their personal tutor today and be given their final grade. He's got a DDM minimum and is within 4 points of straight Distinctions. I've told him DDM is the second highest score and is fantastic too but he's a bit of a purrfectionist...can't think where he gets that from!

God - I feel like I'm in mental labour! Spontaneous combustion is a distinct possibility. These students don't know what they put us parents through - they think they're the only ones all stressed and anxious and no-one spares a thought for the poor parent! Oh no - it's all about them and...

Umm - I'm losing it, aren't I?

And just to add a little more stress to today, I literally just had a call from my mum announcing that my nephew's fiancee has gone into labour overnight. His situation/story is not a good one (bit of a black sheep and learning difficulties) and she (nice enough girl) is way overdue. The drs thought the baby was a bit slow growing for a few weeks and I've just been told that there is a chance that the imminently arriving baby Sasha may have Down's Syndrome, God bless her. Like that makes a difference to me - I'll love her regardless.

Now for some stupid reason, I've just burst into tears! Any free hugs going for the Tiffster?

So before I make the thread any soggier, I'll wish our sazzy good luck with going back to work and with counselling tonight, , and sincere good luck wishes to anyone awaiting exam results too!
I'll be back when I'm able to put a sentence together properly guys.:o
Thinking of you all guys - safe journeys.
Much Love,
Tiff xxx

Lots of (((hugs))) from me tiff. Think we all need them sometimes

Anni, don't stress, wait and see what they say.... hopefully it will be much better than you expect. No ED should be 'not bad enough' for help. Please try not to think about it too much till you get to the appoint. Good luck.

Will catch you a bit later Shaz. Hope woodwork goes well. The gym was fine, I'm going to try and go every morning this week, and hopefully next week too. I usually go with my friends Mum 2 or 3 times a week, but she is away on holiday (with my friend) so thought I'd try it alone. It's fine if I go straight after I drop Marc at school and don't think about what I'm doing! If I thought about it I wouldn't go. I'm on steroids this week after 2 courses of antibiotics for a chest infection, so thought I'd make the most of them!! :rotfl: No, actually it's cause I'm scared I put on weight this week, so am trying extra hard not to!

I just got a letter from the hosp yesterday (gastro clinic) saying they received the refferal from the doc. It says waiting lists are 15 weeks max, but some specialities having much shorter lists. I'm taking that with a pinch of salt though, I got a hosp appoint last year, within a few weeks of the refferal, and gallbladder removed within another couple of weeks, all done within a month :eek: I was totally shocked, but at least I had little time to think about it. It wasn't exactly urgent either, I still have similar pains and the yucky feeling that they took the gallbladder out for, so it wasn't even that!!!! When I was coming out the anesthetic the consultant told me, my gallbadder looked healthy!! :eek: Oh well, it's away now... :rotfl: but been left with IBS as well as same pains etc! God, I'm gibbering on here... all 'cause you & Anni were talking about appointments! Hope your OT goes well and you get your counselling appoint through soon.

If that does happen, you just pick yourself up and dust yourself off. Its hard, incredibly hard, but it isn't the end of the world. It'll be a bit harder without help, but we can do it.

That said, I'd be suprised if you don't get help.
