Hello, I'd like to introduce myself, I'm Cholly. I saw this thread highlighted, and felt the need to post here, I'm not really depressed, with me it's anxiety, but ... it's all rather a mess at the moment I haven't been working for months because of my anxiety. I can't claim benefits, as I haven't been working in Spain long enough, my partner's contract finished and he's not having any luck finding another job, so we're running out of money. He keeps saying he can't cope with me, thinks I don't try hard enough, and use my anxiety as an excuse, well !!!!!!, I'm sure you guys know you try your best but it isn't easy ... and to top that, I think we'll have to leave our flat in a few months

Whew, bit of a ramble, better go to a second para to make this readable, it's turning into a bit of a stream-of-consciousness thing, but I'm just typing as I think. Good news is that I'm seeing a psychologist, which is helping, I've just begun vol work with cats (love them), and may be in for a bit of freelance work (fingers and toes crossed, cos I sooooooooooo need the money ...). I'm worried that OH is getting depressed, or at least downhearted, about not finding a job, and I think the money situation is making him stressed and therefore snappy, oh, and we speak different languages, so it's hard for me to express myself or argue, as although I speak Spanish I'm not fluent, so I reckon a lot gets lost in the translation ...

Hope you don't mind me posting here.

Did I mention I need a job? lol. Am getting to the stage where I can face the idea of p/t work, although most jobs here for English speakers are in bars, call centres or teaching, none of which for various reasons are really appropriate. Most other jobs insist that you speak the local language as well. Lots of the usual MSE options aren't open to me either because of my location. Love it here, in spite of the difficulties, so do NOT want to return to UK!

Don't suppose Martin will allow me to swear and say !!!!!!

*Edit* No, thought not ...

Hi cholly!
Just a quick, but very sincere Tiffy to the thread angel.
You are more than welcome here hunnie - there are no hard and fast rules as to what constitutes mental ill health here and I know from personal experience that anxiety can turn your world upside down.:o Anxiety would certainly qualify as something many of us are familiar with.;) There's a thread full of guardian angels here hunnie with willing suggestions and support for you, so please feel free to post.:A I'll try and get back to you later too, hunnie.
Be kind to yourself.
Much Love,
Tiff xxx

Hola!
Hello my lovlies :wave: :wave:
Just a quickie Sazzy, from Palma, Mallorca:D
Oh really?

Having a nice restful time on holiday, good to be away from work and the stress of London, but I´m missing you all terribly xx I haven´t had time to read back, i´ll probably need another two weeks off just to catch up:o
And the rest! Glad you're enjoying yourself hunnie.

Weather´s been a bit mixed - sunny/cloudy, but always warm. It´s been nice swimming in the sea, not having to be anywhere in particular, sleeping in late. Sleep´s been great, tbh.
A lot like England then, wouldn't you say?

As i say, haven´t read back, but I hope you´re all ok, and that Tiffy is keeping you all in order in my absence;)
.........................!!!
(Whaddaya mean - I didn't invite you all?! )


Big soppy, Sazzy kisses to each and every one of you. :grouphug:
Is that what they get up to where you're at?!!!


Forget it lady - I've got you all figured out already!

My first clue was the short notice (and not in tripli-cat-e either!) of your break.
Then I seemed to remember that you said you were going to the Playa-de-Sumfink, and not Palma as you say now.
I then pondered on the noted absence of other regular posters here - miro, ethel, rosie and qb, in particular.

And then it hit me - you're all on secret standby to go into the Big Brother house! You can't fool the Tiffster!!!

love you all,
Sazzy xxxxx
Right back at you, sweetheart! I hope you're having an amazing time and you are muchly missed. Bring me something nice back hun - about 5ft 10'', brown eyes, no hairy chest - or back...
Don't worry - I'm looking after some gold top for you, ready for when you come home.

Enjoy yourself hunnie - you deserve it! See you soon sazzy.
Safe journeys hunnie.
Much Love,
Tiff xxx

Oh Katie, don't read too much into it. Yes, it was last minute, but as she hadn't told you the board meeting was on Tue til Mon so it's not your fault! It was still in on time. Hopefully it'll be fine, try not to worry anymore about it for now.

dont you mean Jen, Alba? I wasnt online as I was watching the Apprentice
