Lin 2 anniversaries close together is tough but even harder being Mum & sister 💐 You do suffer with your chest don’t you, hope you feel better soon.

Curtains Sorry stuff is tricky for you lovely. If you ever want to say something, as saying it out loud can be a great help. Feel free to pm me

Becca how do you feel about lemon meringue ice cream? Some behind the sofa if you want to try

Becca19962014 · 03/11/2018 22:59

Hmm are lemony bits healthy???????

ThrowThoseCurtainsWide · 04/11/2018 00:52

Thanks pink. A lot of talking about options happened on Wednesday. And plans and preparation. Scary stuff. And ever since thy meeting it's all changed for the better, but that's probably because I was known to be there.

Tummy troubles today. I've been mainlining peppermint tea, but I think I might have to go to boots tomorrow and get something stronger

ThrowThoseCurtainsWide · 05/11/2018 08:00

Morning Owls, hope everyone is okay - been thinking of you all

Becca19962014 · 05/11/2018 10:01

I had a dreadful night with stomach ache that kept me awake and the longer it went on the more terrified I got, the worse it got (I've ibs).

I'm still struggling and really shit company Sad realised today that social services have been playing nasty games with me. I'm so fucjing stupid. I rang Samaritans and ended up having a row because some bastard called me a liar!

Honestly how difficult is it to listen and not judge?! ffs.

And no, I wasn't lying.

Becca19962014 · 07/11/2018 00:40

Sorry, I hope you're ok curtains

I really shouldn't post when I'm struggling so much!

ThrowThoseCurtainsWide · 07/11/2018 00:53

Wtf?!?! Samaritans are a listening service. That is what they do. If you're feeling a bit brighter tomorrow you really should complain.

I'm okay, although sitting drinking wine at 1am is probably never ideal. Not quite sure where the time went... have had lots of difficult decisions to make this week, but for the moment things are staying as they are. I have a lot of thinking to do and DH and I have a lot of work to do together to make things good again.

DH bashed his toe on the table last night and ripped his toenail off. It's still attached at the base, but the rest has come away from the nail bed - it's so gross. Also starting to smell a bit today so I'll have to take him up to minor injuries tomorrow. My day off is always fun...

Becca19962014 · 07/11/2018 01:00

I won't complain, there's no point. I don't know why I bothered trying it's completely hopeless. He said I was lying about struggling to get out as I'd gone to an appointment today so obviously could manage fine really and wasn't being fair.

I hope tomorrow goes ok.

ThrowThoseCurtainsWide · 07/11/2018 01:37
Sad

I hate judgemental people. There's a thread about BPD and babysitting at the moment, don't go into it. The judgement and stigma is heartbreaking. I had a big long rant on there, but I wish I'd never opened it.

See the individual not the diagnosis. How hard is that?

I've only just got into bed. The school run will be a nightmare tomorrow, at least I have nothing else time specific to do tomorrow

Becca19962014 · 07/11/2018 02:18

Too late I've already seen it Sad
I sent an email to social services and regret having done so now Sad
Fuck. Why can't people just be supportive. What's so fucking wrong with that?

ThrowThoseCurtainsWide · 07/11/2018 02:23

I know that feeling!

Becca19962014 · 07/11/2018 09:39

Am exhausted. Supposed to be updating this iPad today but scared it'll die Sad

PinkHeart5914 · 07/11/2018 09:52

Morning owls >

Becca How are you doing this morning? I’m shocked at the Samaritans tbh, they are a listening service and all of the people on the phones should of been trained. If they are just going to be judgemental then why bother volunteering.

Sparkle Glad your doing ok. Don’t envy your hospital trip for smelly toe though

I think certain threads on here about mental health/being overweight and benefits always end the same way. They are best avoided, as my Mum would say you can’t reason with stupid.

Taking the dc swimming in a while with mil, then out for a lunch after.

Becca19962014 · 07/11/2018 10:23

Hungry. Struggling. Not good at all. About to try going out Sad

ThrowThoseCurtainsWide · 07/11/2018 19:14

Smelly toe less smelly today. It seems to be sticking back on to the nail bed a bit. Going to see how it goes. I have loads to do tonight, but I'm knackered. Need to get up really early as I'm on a school trip to London tomorrow so need to be there super early. Did you get out Becca?

Becca19962014 · 07/11/2018 20:04

I got out for a few hours actually. Though I began to feel unwell I stayed and had some food. I slept briefly this afternoon. Had to phone social services who were rather quiet about everything. I really should not have sent that fucking email. I don't know what I was bloody thinking!!

I desperately need to be getting more rest than I am, but it's so hard when so afraid. I've had an emergency scan through for my neck which must be done by dr, I can't make what they've given me but they're rebooking.

Mummylin · 07/11/2018 21:39

What's have I missed about your toe curtains ?
Feeling stuffed cause I ate too much dinner and now feel so bloated.
Ds came to move all his stuff back out now they have moved into their new home, but all he bloody took was one hold-all and another small bag. I bet I now have the rest here for months to go with all his other stuff I have here from previous visits !! I was thinking I could get the room neat and tidy again.

That's strange - I swear I replied last night Confused

Not my toe thankfully lin, DH basked his and levered his toenail off - ouch!

PinkHeart5914 · 09/11/2018 17:46

Hello owls

Hope your all ok Smile

DC have all gotne to mil for a sleepover tonight. Me and dh ave a few friends coming over later for dinner and drinks, I’ve prepared all the dinner chicken in spicy tomato sauce with Parmesan, garlic potatoes and corn cobs then a limoncello cheesecake.

So I’m not sitting with a face mask on and drinking pink gin, waiting for dh to get home
