ADs and their gratuitous pussy pictures

[BogRollBOGOF]

Welcome in ADs. Snuggle up hygge-style 'cause there ain't much going on out there for a while... except rain.

I haven't got a pussy of my own for gratuitous showing off, so I shall pretend to be Dr Evil with Mr Biggleswade

@110APiccadilly

Thanks for the explanation *@Curlygirl06*, that now makes sense to me.

In my family, if someone is being a bit of a grouch, someone else is sure to enquire how the terrible pain in all the diodes down their left hand side is.

Brilliant

I'll have to rib DS1 about that. He does genuinely get gripes like knee pain, but he also milks it something rotten. You mention the word "walk" to him and he starts the dying swan routine. He's building up an impressive bingo card of ailments for a 10yo

Well covid bullshit strikes again.

My bubble is my partner (I am a single parent and he is the only other adult I have contact with)- he just happens to live about 100 miles away.

So this morning I fell down the stairs and have seriously injured my coccyx. I drove to his house but through the day it has got steadily worse to the point I felt I needed to go to A&e.

So we go to a and e, I give them my details, the lady is lovely. Now I have anxiety about being in hospitals because of when I was a kid and I tried to commit suicide and no one came to see me (my parents didn’t care)

Aaaaanyway. So I was in a lot of pain and then they tell me that my partner would have to leave once I was checked in and I panicked (I know it’s silly and I should have expected this cuz covid but my anxiety got the better of me) so I backed out and said don’t worry I will treat myself at home don’t worry.

Then suddenly a PPE clad woman appeared and asked me ‘is your boyfriend bullying or scaring you?’ And I was like...? What??

So I said errrr no?! I’m sorry I’ve wasted your time I know you’re incredibly busy I just can’t wait 3 hours (they told me That was the approx waiting time) because of the time of night and the ‘being alone’ thing. I was crying because I was anxious and scared of being shouted at for wasting their time and they made me feel guilty by saying ‘you know we have genuine covid patients to treat through here you aren’t a priority unfortunately’ so I just thanked them and left

I feel so guilty, I didn’t mean to upset anyone, but my coccyx is in agony and it’s spreading to my lower back and to my lower back. But now I’m just too scared to go to a hospital at all. I’d rather suffer it. I really didn’t mean to upset anyone.

Oh i forget to say about the 100 miles away- when I explained that to covid nurse she said ‘well that’s not really lockdown is it’ when ... it literally is... there’s no rules about how far your bubble can live. It’s not my fault my only ‘family’ lives 100 miles away.

@DWPmisery1972 that is so fucking shit. What, so now you can't even be in any pain other than covid because there are people dying? Twats.

I feel like such an idiot, I wish I’d never given them my details especially because I’ve recently contacted my dr about my eating disorder, I am just going to avoid the NHS I’m future, the anxiety is just too much. I feel like such a damn fool and a time waster.

Just guilt guilt guilt anxiety guilt anxiety guilt guilt anxiety rinse and repeat

I hear cocyx pain is particularly nasty. I've known a couple of people sit on inflatable rings to ease the pressure. When I had a 3rd degree tear, I sat on a u-shaped pillow to relieve the pressure.

Hanging around courtesy of the NHS is never fun, but I can imagine it being particularly overwhelming at the moment. I'm finding the supermarket hard enoughfor sensory overwhelm.

Yeah I think the sensory overwhelming, with the accusations of rule breaking (which I’m not), compounded with my own anxieties and then Being shouted at by a ‘covid nurse’ just pushed me over the edge. I know they’re under strain (I work in healthcare), I know it’s hard, I just felt so under pressure I just felt the fight or flight kick in and flight won. Thanks for advice ie pillows, I’ll check amazon xx thanks everyone. I feel so guilty and stupid rn.

Hope everyone has had a good Saturday today and tomorrow is another day... I’m hoping a sleep with no weight bearing on my coccyx will help heal it. Much love everyone

Just double-checking, but if I understand correctly, this experience was at the hospital nearest your partner?

If so, how long are you staying for? If you’re there for a few days then maybe try again? Otherwise, how on earth can you be expected to drive back home safely?

But if you’re back home soon then definitely try your local service. You might get a different experience there and hopefully some treatment. Back pain can be so debilitating and affects so much of everyday life. Please try not to just suffer it.

Hope your back feels better soon. My friend broke her coccyx sledging and 20 years later she still has pain from it. I feel so angry for you because the NHS should not be treating people like that and certainly shouldn't be asking leading questions like that either about your partner. I know you can complain to PALS so that's an option, if only to reassure yourself you deserve a better standard of care. Although the naming of PALS is one of my NHS bugbears and a very irrational one at that. It just sounds like Barney the Dinosaur will pick up the phone 'hi pals!'... Ugh makes my teeth itch!

Thank you so much for the support everyone. I thought I was going mad. I left feeling so guilty for wasting their time and I hobbled home with the help of my partner; I just felt so stupid and humiliated. This all occurred in the main reception area so everybody saw me crying and I feel like such an idiot. I know I’ll never see these people again but it just doesn’t help my anxiety at all. However an improvement; I had dinner today! And this incident didn’t make me use bulimia or laxatives as a ‘punishment’. So small victories.

Thank you again for your support everyone, I honestly thought I had lost the plot and I was being an unreasonable idiot.

Also the leading questions really triggered me as I am going through a divorce from a man that tried to kill me So the fact that this was even suggested turned my brain to scrambled egg. (Sorry to use the word triggered it’s the only way I can describe the feeling;) I felt so bad on my lovely Partner behalf that he was essentially Being accused of being abusive, when he wouldn’t hurt a fly. We’ve been together for two years and I resent that accusation. It upset me very much. And the ‘we have covid patients’ ... well.. whatever then. That’s how it is now. I guess that’s the treatment we will have to get used to.

I’m also concerned because my step daughter has broken her wrist and she went to the hospital and originally missed the break in the x ray and have called back to let her know that it’s broken- so she’s been walking around for a week with no cast! So disappointing. (Same hospital aswell).

Love this lovely cheery thread!
Here’s a very silly dog picture, makes me smile...

I have 3 cats, 2 dogs and 2 teens. (Hopefully pictures are attached)

Not really enjoying the lockdown doo that I have going on. I miss the hairdresser but am lucky that it's long enough to just tie back.

I am looking forward to long summer days when I can eventually go for long beach walks and get out to do my job properly again.

I'm seconding the suggestion of a donut cushion - my friend broke her coccyx and found one really helpful. How they treated you was terrible - a compassionate attitude costs nothing and if you're working with ill people you should have one in my opinion. Would you be able to afford going to a private physio/ osteopath/ chiropractor? They might be able to help and you wouldn't have to engage with the NHS.

Should point out you absolutely shouldn't have to go to a private practitioner, but sadly it might be the best way of getting some help.

Yes 11 there’s a private Drs about a stones throw from my house- I’m going to book in there. I honestly can’t deal with the anxiety of all of this ‘wait here you can’t have this we have more sick people than you blah blah’ stuff - also thank u so much everyone for the donut cushion idea I’ve got one on order from amazon! Awful company but deliver quick and I’m in desperate need as I have to drive for my job and also to sit and homeschool the kids

Honestly you couldn’t make it up could you. Bloody clumsy mare I am.

Hwynoidea you know what, I can’t stand summer usually but for the first time in my life I can’t wait for it- fresh air for the kids, being able to play out until late, longer days, some hot sun on my skin (which I usually can’t stand!!) just some semblance of feeling like everything isn’t total dogshit basically.

@DWPmisery1972

Total lack of empathy and manners. I hope you feel better soon.

Well I've been upsetting people on social media again. Silly me.

Cousin 1 (I have a lot of particularly dementory cousins). She has had covid was ill for a few days but got through it. Still lives in constant fear that she will get it again and give it to her 6 year old and calls most people selfish bastards for not doing what she does to keep her child safe.
Posted this last night:
"When I had covid I never left the house. Not once. But [friend] spread rumours that I was going out with covid when I wasn't. And I'm a keyworker so I'm facing this every day so I know how serious it is. Well, shoes on the other foot now isn't it, her [relative] is in hospital with covid. Karma isn't it"
I commented "first of all, you have a degree of immunity now you've had it so stop being so afraid of the outside world, secondly, you are a lunchtime supervisor at a primary school who's currently not working so you are not 'facing' anything everyday and thirdly....takes a special kind of self centred twat to take joy from someone's relative being in hospital just because they may have spread a rumour about you. Your Karma logic is flawed and you just sound like a spiteful child tbh"

I've woken up this morning tagged in many posts, can't even be arsed to read them.

Cousin 2 "so everyone can't wait for pubs to open, at least this time they shouldn't do eat out to help out, people should stay in to keep liv-in"
Me "oooooo clever, did you come up with that by yourself?"

As a complete aside, I was going to post here asking for advice.

DS (10) has always been chatty but now it's affecting school. We had a zoom parents evening recently where the teacher bought up his chatting. It's literally the only negative thing, ds is extremely bright and achieving higher than expected in all areas, but the chatter has escalated now and can be disruptive to the other kids in class.

We've had conversations with him about talking at appropriate times and hopefully that should help. However, it occurred to me that school is literally the only other time he sees any other children or spends any actual time with people outside the house (I've noticed he does also chat to our neighbour a lot when we see him), so could it be because he's no human contact outside of school and home? I suspect it may be but I'm not sure.

Tired of people trying to make light of the lockdown. "Cmon, it's only for a few more months."

I would rather take the risk and live my life.

It's all starting to get to me a bit and I'm starting to believe I must be awful and selfish to want to live my own life. Am I narcissistic?

Schools opening is as stressful as schools closing. I have got used to the idea of schools being closed, of being 100% responsible for the kids' education and care - good enough while people hide from the virus. Then, they open again. I just want to be left alone, either way.

Morning all.

Well we repainted the living room yesterday to sell the house (textured wallpaper we daren't remove after the issues we had upstairs) and I've come down this morning and I'm wondering whether we made a big mistake oops.

Also had a dream last night that England was a police state and I'd gone to work and i had to ring round colleagues parents to tell them they'd been killed. Like it was completely normal. Wtaf!

"However, it occurred to me that school is literally the only other time he sees any other children or spends any actual time with people outside the house (I've noticed he does also chat to our neighbour a lot when we see him), so could it be because he's no human contact outside of school and home? I suspect it may be but I'm not sure."

I think you're probably right - I've met a neighbour with her 6 year old a few times when we've been out for walks and the 6 year old is incredibly chatty with me! I assume this is because she isn't seeing other people.

@DWPmisery1972 I hope you're in less pain this morning. The hospital experience sounds awful. My friend did something similar and spent quite a while sitting on a doughnut cushion/rubber ring for relief.

I absolutely love the close up pic Curly She's stunning!

Loki DS loves talking to anyone and I think it's the effect of being with less people. I also think in school some of it's boredom because he's finished his work and can only sit quietly for so long. From my view point there's a lot more faffing happening in class now anyway because the teacher is having to try and do 2 jobs between home school and the ones attending. I know my DS has been labelled as disruptive but I think he's actually being failed to some degree by school because the work isn't challenging enough and this is being compounded by the lack of stimulation outside of school.
