Come into the BESHt youth club in town, all you sad and bitter crones.

[Ariesgirl]

Enter the darkened youth club, where desperate 30-somethings who have been TTC since the eighties determinedly try to recapture their teenage years: their snogs with Darren from maths in the corner of the disco, the waft of Impulse, the slow dances at the end of the night, table tennis tournaments and the queue at the tuck shop for black jacks, Panda cola, fruit salads and Wham bars. Bop to Ride on Time, Love Shack and Vogue with Madonna and we'll see if all those sweaty hormones and pheromones can do the trick.

I did mean a real live dog hair! [woof] 12 year old gynae wanted to inspect his equipment - given the questions they ask, e.g., have either of you been sterilised, are you using contraception, do you ejaculate inside the vagina? - they clearly deal with some right "types", so anyway - he whipped it out and she asked him to peel back his foreskin. Dog hair. Obviously no wonder I couldn't get diffed if he were slipping it up the dog 3 x a day!

I think she does mean actual dog hair

I shall mostly be spending the morning kicking Dor in the kidneys (yeah, we know you've POAFS repeatedly but I just like kicking people in the kidneys) and providing tequila shots for Rie . Good work on the olympic-level cigaring, tho, Dor

Whoops x post. I also find cat hair everywhere. It used to disgust and horrify me and now I just sigh, pick it off, and idly daydream about immac-ing the cat when Mr Boots isn't looking.

Try a prolonged course of DHEA (supplement to spur on ancient cracked wizened eggs into life)Bitey that promotes growth of nipular hair so that you can forgo the cat hair substitute.

My other SIL is now pregnant so I went to the Dr as my mental state is becoming even more unhinged. She pointed out that other people are in worse situations than me and I could always ring the Samaritans if I felt particularly bad. AH HA HA HA HA! Oh dear. It was so bad it actually cheered me up, so I guess that's one way of dealing with this stuff. To be fair there's not a lot she could have done really as she can't magically make me pregnant or change the situation, but I thought pointing out that other people have it worse than me was an absolute gem to point out to someone teetering on the edge. I also told my manager about the fact I'm struggling a bit (and she has been lovely) but then said it will happen to me soon (oh good a fortune teller) and that she knew someone who tried for 20 billion years and then gave up and went away for a weekend and guess what! Pregnant. Only about 10 more years then until I too am in my mid 40's and then I can book my autodiff weekend away to Torquay.

I think the only way I can get out of this fug is by making myself better, and that starts with trying to be more positive and quit the self pity and moaning so much, hence my mammoth post.

How very sympathetic! That is ridiculous. I have seen docs for mental health isshoos and even though some not great, none has ever been idiotic enough to come out with the some have it much worse line. As for telling you to ring Samaritans....
If you think you would benefit from medication or counselling try again with a different doctor.
Other peoples anecdotes can be equally annoying.

HOLY FUCKING CRAP. BY ALL THAT'S UNHOLY. BB I am so furious for you I could actually explode. I mean I actually really could. STUPID FUCKING BITCH FROM HELL. Report her. Name her. Shame her. x 10,000,000.

Change your GP and announce very loudly why you are doing so. Fuck.

I'm not going to post anything there Alps. I only went and had a look there because Bloofs told me it was fun. I think you're all fab.

Me too BB, that is disgusting! See a different GP, complain about that one. What a utterly stupid and pointless response! If I went to my GP with a sore throat I would not expect him or her to say that some people have pneumonia and to suck it up! Why are mental health issues so easily dismissed? Very, very for you.

Sindyclunge I am fucking furious at that. Please, please tell me you will complain. Or let me do so???

You know she's talking shit, don't you? Please ask to see another doctor if you still feel like you need to. She is in the wrong here, not you, and I don't want you to suffer for a SECOND because of it.

I am REALLY fucking angry about this!

Good analogy there Biteme. Similarly if I had an infected ingrowing toenail which was causing me agony, there is no way I would be expected to told that some people have to have amputations for gangrene, and I should be grateful for small mercies. As you know I have mental health issues in my family and the distress they cause is no less than physical illnesses.

Are you fucking kidding Barbie? You went to tell her you were worries about your mental health and she told you to ring the fucking Samaritans?! I can't begin to tell you who how I feel on reading that.

Yes. Go and see a proper doctor, who will take you seriously and refer you to someone who can listen to you and give you proper support.

And there is always us xxxx

To be fair to her she isn't the usual Dr I see (who is ace) and I think she was a bit confused at to what to do with me (and maybe inexperienced?). But I think pointing out that other people have it worse is never helpful to anyone.

I am sometimes tempted to go on differs threads or people moaning about their kids threads to point out how bloody lucky they are, but what is the point of that? Then you would get people with serious diseases and people with bereavements pointing out lucky I am (which I am in many ways), and then other people would come on and post about people starving to death and being tortured or murdered and it turns out the only person allowed to complain is someone actually dying at that very second.

I will go back and see someone else if I need to, but at the moment I'm happy going to my counselling and trying to dig myself out of this hole (along with lots of good ESH and friends who I appreciate more than I can explain). I feel like the Universe has flung a load of shit at me and I have been knocked to the floor, but then the Universe has kicked me again etc. Today I feel like, well ok, it's shit, but I'm not going to let it ruin my life (and there are much much worse things that can happen) so fuck you Universe really. I WILL BE OK and I have a husband who is worth any amount of shit flinging.

Your husband is a diamond. I luffs him and I have never even met him . You know I am only down the road don't you? We can meet for tea and cakes, or maybe you can buy me a fry up

Much love xxx

We still have to go shopping at certain Janner based places too. Can't you go to some ball or cocktail evening so we can try on ridiculous dresses and then scoff enormous Devon Cream teas? Husband is indeed fabulous

Janitor. Seth.

xxxxx

I am sorry you met a cock of a GP Barbie. I work with doctors and some of them are complete tools!

In other news: the Bastard Droid has arrived.

Fuck and fuck again (or maybe not as it doesn't actually seem to work!!')

I am in stunned disbelief at your GP Barbie. Seriously, my mouth is agape catching flies. You must complain

Sorry to all the droids - is an absolute BastardFest.

Cake I don't believe we've met, but understand CONGRATUMALATIONS are in order. Always nice to hear of an ESH win, a FCFU ESH win is gold medal!

Here's a round of shots for everyone........

Is it bad that I actually feel pretty sorry for that Dr now?

Sorry for the droidage Dor. It never gets any easier does it?

laurie luffley to meet you and thank you! You're all so nice! :)

cuntsticks and bollox to droid Rie and Dor I'm so sorry :( It sucks. That's all. Have a tequila on me too.

I am at that doctor BB It's just not fucking right.

Sorry at the droid invasion on the fred too.

I'm agahst at the doctor Bratzdollsnowoutsellbarbiess you definitley deserve more understanding than suggesting you go to someone else for help.

Doris fucksticks to droid

Thanks for guidelines as to next steps at FC. I will ensure no dog, cat or (other) human hair are anywhere near my or MS's bits.

Today one of the guys that I work with asked me when I was planning on 'getting up the duff'. My reply was "when I feel I you know well enough to discuss my sex life I'll let you know" He went bright red. Was I too harsh?

No fucking way. He deserved it. And he will hopefully refrain from asking such insolent questions of women he barely knows again, so you will have done all of BESHkind a favour.

Bell end.
