Today would be my due date had it not gone all wrong. I'm pissed and maudlin, but this has cheered me up. Thank you, emphatically.

My cousin is having her baby tommorow and I'm v happy for them, but so sad for what should be. Hope you don't mind me saying vicar, I'm a long time lurker but follow you. How are you doing?

CrystalDeCanter · 27/06/2013 03:18

Oh Geraldine, for you.

Thanks Vicar, I've just got home from taking dd to the emerg dentist after she split her gum at school Hmm. She's fine thank God, but those did cheer me up. As did a large Toblerone

I should go to bed but being very self indulgent. Done loads of sections this week, happy for everyone but hollow myself. Thanks for the thoughts :) I'm keeping it quiet in rl.

Tortoiseonthehalfshell · 27/06/2013 03:23

Oh, Geraldine, that stinks and is completely unfair.

Vicar, thank you! The first one especially, I could stare at all day.

geraldine
im doing ok thank you for asking, had my last counselling session today. im accepting that its ok to be who i am and just trust myself a bit more.

im so sorry to read of your heart ache. Would it help to take a few days out just for yourself? or are you better keeping busy? Do what you need to do, whatever you feel you need to do, go with it. You are not being self indulgent at all - dont feel that. You are entitled to feel sad. Its ok to feel sad.

i am thinking of you. its not much, but i am.

I'm as sad as I've ever been. I cant accept it all. I spend my whole life helping people but I can't fix this. I'm desolate and I can't tell anyone. I'm very glad you are feeling better, you really deserve it. Ty for starting this thread, sure il regret it, but nice to talk to someone :) ty

GeraldineAubergine · 27/06/2013 03:33

Geraldine, mate, don't feel bad for feeling sad and expressing it lovey. It's not self-indulgent in the slightest, it's a VERY SAD thing indeed that has happened. So sorry to hear that you cant tell anyone in real life. Are you really sure that's the case? If no friends etc can you talk on here? There are always heaps of people up for a hand hold. Even in the middle of the night.

GeraldineAubergine · 27/06/2013 03:43

Thanks you two :) im finding people think as I have a ds its not so bad, but it was honestly the worst thing that's happened to me. I went all mad afterwards and I don't wants anyone to think it will happen again. I'm a scrub nurse, deal with things like this everyday, why can't I be ok myself. Mad.

GeraldineAubergine · 27/06/2013 03:44

Middle of the night deffo helping me

Ty ty :) also are you on nights? I have an excuse as catching up with essential music.

ThatVikRinA22 · 27/06/2013 03:57

im on nights tomorrow, and i can never go for a nap before nights, so what i do is just work my way around the clock until im awake at night and sleeping during the day.
im a bit of a night owl anyway so it suits me that way. ill got to bed in a bit and sleep late....then i might survive the night! its been a very very busy week, ive not had a break the last 3 days, and worked over for 2 days so i might get away a bit earlier tomorrow....fingers crossed!

so plan is to spend much of tomorrow in bed in readiness for night shift....

GeraldineAubergine · 27/06/2013 03:59

I prefer nights, sleep loads the day before though. You catch the drunks, I fix the bones ;)

ThatVikRinA22 · 27/06/2013 04:07

sounds about right!
though tonight i tripped over the door step in the nick and (get ready for the pun....)
i fought the floor
and the floor won!

i have a lump on my head, carpet burns on my head, nose, upper lip and chin. i look like ive just done 10 rounds with tyson....so attractive....and all my own fault! i fell literally flat on my face.....i did put my hand out but have a bruised and sprained wrist to show for it...

so i have a bit of sympathy for those bones.....and i wasnt even drunk!

glad to see your joined the village....please stick around there.....they are a lovely lovely bunch. they will support you, nurture you, talk to you, let you say whatever you need to say.
