Still Autumn days in the village with lots of support for all kinds of MH problems - depression, anxiety, OCD, psychosis etc thread 2

[MySpideySenseTickles]

The thread filled up!
I made a new one hope no one minds.

[SnowyMouse]

Thanks for the new thread, spidey I hope you get to do your run.

I wanted to say, have your takeaway but try to make a lower calorie choice so instead of a kebab maybe a chicken wrap or a childs portion, you still feel you've had a treat but not as much damage, then you can always drop 100 cals or so off your daily amount for a few days to make up for it. If you deny yourself it'll become a massive thing and you'll end up gorging.

[SnowyMouse]

I think that's the issue - there's a minimum spend of £15 (thinking of chinese takeaway, chips are too fatty). I'll have a think over the weekend, see how I feel - I have visitors so may not be able to calorie count with them here.

[Collardove]

I found you all! :)

Thanks all re DD compliments.

Firstly ((( all ))) having a shitty day.

I've been in bed most of the day with the nasty cold, last night was terrible with coughing & sneezing & fever....But was dragged out by my carer to go to a local event for World Mental Health Day. Yes it is Infact World Mental Health Day today! I've come home with loads of cup cakes happy to share round with u all with a nice cup of

((( spidey ))) hope ur car can be fixed without too much stress and hassel

snowy take away sounds good I'm doing the same tonight. I'm thinking Indian as apparently the spices are good for a cold/flu

[SnowyMouse]

Right, I'm sticking with yoghurts for the rest of the day.

Enjoy your Indian takeaway pulled

[Victrix]

Thanks for the new thread Spidey, hope you get your car sorted

I'm feeling less flat today, however I've had a reaction to my antibiotics and I have a rash all down my arms . Luckily my face is almost back to normal after my previous moisturiser debacle

Making chicken and pea risotto for dinner tonight, might chuck some cherry tomatoes in there too.

[Pulledapart]

Thanks snowy u enjoy ur yogurt too. I would normally opt for that for a healthy option but with this chesty cold no chance.

victrix rash sounds bad hope it recovers quickly but glad to hear u feel less flat today. Risotto sounds yummy & I love cherry tomatoes too.

[Collardove]

((((Snowy)))) :)

Victrix - Poor you! You have really been through it with your skin this week :(

Pulled - Hope your cold doesn't get any worse.

Gosh all this talk about food is making me hungry! It's crunchy hot fish n chips for us tonight yum!

Hope everyone has had an ok day today. I was sorting out some outstanding pay from my previous employer and had to speak to my old manager today.
Her whole manner was a good reminder to me as to how glad I am that I don't work there any more! Awful woman - made me want to reach for a diazepam. But I managed to distract myself quickly after and not use one of my precious 2 that I have left.

I start my new job a week in Monday.

Anyway hugs to all x

Hello new thread.

Hope everyone is having a lovely Friday.

First week of work done and celebrating with fish and chips and beer.

[MySpideySenseTickles]

Grilled chicken salad with balsamic and a tiny sprinkle of cheese here omnomnom

[Pulledapart]

((( collar ))) sorry you still have to deal with crap people from previous job but very proud of you for not reaching for diazepam. Just concentrate on enjoying your week before you start your new and brilliant job. Have you got anything planned yet? I'm sure shopping will be on there somewhere

[Pulledapart]

Oh I want fish n chips now too late Indian already ordered.

[SnowyMouse]

Good to see everyone's finding the new thread. Ooh, chips, I must stay strong

Well done on sorting out your pay, collardove, and good luck for next week.

Congrats on getting through the week, mp

I've got family coming tomorrow

[Pulledapart]

Oh MP sorry totally missed ur ref to getting through the first week back at work. Very well done

[Pulledapart]

snowy enjoy time with your family tomorrow

[Victrix]

I really want chips now

Off to cook my risotto instead.

[violetsrblue]

Thanks silvery it's good to hear that people you know found ways through alcohol issues. It seems so hard to get help for DS and it's as if he's getting worse day by day. This week though I've got a meeting with a carer's support worker and next Sat my sil is coming over here so I can get away for a few hours.
Need to sort some tea out as getting hungry now reading about food! ((hug)) to all.

[MySpideySenseTickles]

Dh has had a look and he thinks the whole exhaust is fubar'd so it'll probably be at least £280 to fix.
Looking at new cars and it'll be the holiday spending money buying it.
Why can nothing ever go right?

[nethunsreject]

Hi all and thanks for the new thread Spidey!
Just checking in quickly, bit fragile, will catch up at weekend. Hugs to all xx

[SnowyMouse]

Thanks pulled

Risotto also sounds yummy, victrix

I hope you get some support, violets

Oh (((( spidey )))) How horrible for you

take care nethuns and all.

[Victrix]

So since the chicken I'd defrosted was a bit suspect, DP and I are now getting an Indian

I'm wrestling with a conundrum, I feel like I want to tell people that I'm not well, so they understand why I'm distant and different but I don't want them to think less of me and I definately don't want to tell them everything! You guys know more about me than anyone alive.
Should I make it known I'm suffering from depression and then maybe people will understand?
Or do I just carry on pretending for everyone except a few trusted people?
I don't know what to do.
