    Bed time for me I think.lol.

    My little "brother" (he's not really my brother but we're very close. He's 14 and looks up to me like an older sister, bless him) has been texting me making me smile. He's such a sweetheart. lol.

    Anywho, night night. I hope you all have a good night and sleep well. I'm not going out tomorrow or anything, thank goodness. Going to recuperate.lol. Please wish me good luck on not having any scary dreams tonight. They frighten me.

    Hope you have a nightmare free night LM. I can't remember the last time I didn't have a nightmare. They are becoming more frequent and realistic. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you x

    Ah, what is age? I hit 40 this year, and I'm going at it all guns blazing!

    The job is copy-editing for a book, ie checking for mistakes and rewriting any sentences that don't read well, that sort of thing. Right up my street (I belong to the secret squad of the Grammar Police, LOL).

    I'm also trying to get into mystery shopping, texting, and hoping some more freelance jobs come my way, my puter is slowly dying a death as well, it moves at the speed of the proverbial tortoise, the screen is held together by a clothespeg (I kid you not), and now the DVD drive has gone on strike in solidarity with the truckers ...

    LadyM, get yourself some eyelash dye and free yourself from mascara worries ...

    Just thought i'd say hello to everyone as i've not been around for a couple of weeks, had alot of stuff going on and lacked the motivation & inclination to log on to the pc..

    I had my contract of employment terminated 10 days ago, guess they got fed up after me being off work for 12 months - lol.. so my mood hasn't been the best since then, i shall be filing a grievance as they made no effort to help me get back to work & i think i'm covered by the DDA - i start some new pills on 1st July which should be fun, i'm still have insomnia problems (hence writing this at 4.22am)..
    Oh, and i sent off an application for DLA today as well - so fingers crossed..

    Hope everyone is keeping well, and i hope to be on here on a more regular basis for a while..

    Take Care

    What came first, the music or the misery? Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to pop music?

    morning all, still feeling bit low and anxious, scared of what son will do next i guess, he is so moody and unpredictable all the time right now. hasn't helped that his pyschiatrist lowered his meds, because of his weight gain, well known side effect with resperidone apparently, and he still on a fairly high dose. its a drug thats not recommended for children according to the leaflet that comes with it, but both sons take it as prescribed by pysch, as nothing else has any effect on them.
    sons behaviour really affects my moods, feel tied to them and the house cant work even when i feel well enough as i'm always on call in case i'm needed by school at short notice to pick them up.
    sorry moaning again, seem to do that a lot when i feel down.
    going to my day centre today, for woodwork class.
    also the occupational therapist rang me yesterday to make an appointment for anxiety management so hopefully that will help
    hope everyone ok,
    big hugs
