So glad you had a good day lonelybunny x

Chips, many of us are having therapy of some sort, not all, but i think most of us have at some point. I am in counselling just now - i like my counseller, she challenges me - it is exhausting though.

Tired, feeling a bit meh - done very little today, grumpy (i just think i am grumpy though, not feeling too bad)

Love to all x

Going to bed now. Day went really well. Didn't forget anything vital! Dd really enjoyed it and seemed to appreciate it all to. I managed to hold it together tho anxiety a killer. Nice to see some old friends and family too. Exhausted. Feel like I need a good weep from relief, tiredness and anxiety.

Wanted to at Thanks too for all the support here - I really felt buoyed up by it today thinking of you all.

Good night x

TheSilveryPussycat · 23/06/2013 10:16

Some good days were had yesterday I see :) - and wow, that cake CIQ!

I had a nothingy day and kept going back to bed, although felt alright mood wise, except for frustration with myself. Hopefully today will be better...

LEMisdisappointed · 23/06/2013 11:37

So glad you had a good day CiQ, was thinking about you - i didnt for one minute think it would be anything but a lovely day, i knew you could do it - so pleased for you. Now today is definately a day of rest!!

Vicar - if anyone gave you a hard time over that hedgehog, tell them they are a prick!

ColouringInQueen · 23/06/2013 20:14

Thanks snowy. Sat down with the kids and watched kids film ratatouille which was good for adults too. Kids in bed now. I've finally eaten some cake (yum) some tv next, then early night. Hope everyone's doing ok this eve.

SnowyMouse · 23/06/2013 20:23

Ratatouille is a good film, I like it too. I'm feeling soso, but see my cpn on Tuesday.

ColouringInQueen · 23/06/2013 21:39

Glad to hear you've got an appt at up with your cpn. Yeah those pixar kids films are good aren't they.

Watching a tv prog about a man whose left scientology and they look like a bunch of complete lunatics!

Lonelybunny · 23/06/2013 21:53

Glad you enjoyed ratatouille :) I find kiddos films quite good :) I survived work today , has less intrusive thought , going to bed soon , love to you all x

ThatVikRinA22 · 23/06/2013 21:53

Grin lem....i think i sort of did. we argued. i said if anyone wants to complain because i didnt run a defenceless wild animal over then good luck to them....

she shut up after that.

back to the grind today - ive got a mammoth job to sort out tomorrow - but in my defence i could have just passed it over to someother poor suckerone else and i didnt....i tend to invest myself in my jobs.

so got that one to sort tomorrow. may not be sortable but will do best.

counting down to days off again....1 down, 4 to go....

ThatVikRinA22 · 23/06/2013 21:56

someone mention rats?

i love my ratties....they are the funniest things. and its because of them that i get to read again....when i take them up to the bathroom for a run (in sets of 3, boys frist, then the girls!) i sip wine and read while they have their free range time and do what rats do best....(thats make me laugh like a drain, snuggle, cuddle and act generally cute as a bugs ear....) and because i give them both 30 mins (or more!) each lot i get to read! rats are good for you.

I'm still here.

Glad the weekend seems to have been a success for most.

I'm starting to feel the effects of weaning off my fluox. Starting to stumble over my words.

But no nap in 2 days.

I love my gerbils too. They have so much personality. Starting to devop a playtime routine. They seem to all come out at about 10pm (they are awake through the day too which is good for dcs but not normally all together). I can sit and watch them for hours... and then end up late to bed.

Still keeping an eye on the bruising...got 2 bruised knees today...but doesn't help when you fall over getting on the bus.

So I can't sit down for long because my coccyx hurts.
I can't kneel because my knees hurt.

Perfect excuse to lay in bed all day tomoerow...

EdwiniasRevenge · 23/06/2013 22:44

Oh and I have a friend that has an exceedingly cut albino hedgehog as a pet.

TheSilveryPussycat · 24/06/2013 00:01

Oh I do miss ratties Envy As for riding, am planning on a v slow hack round Hamsterley Forest in the early autumn, am not a v good rider and haven't done it for some time, but miss it.

Am trying to get books up to date before handing over from being treasurer of service user forum, it is like pulling teeth to get myself to do it, but made some progress today. One day I will be up to date with my life [flying pig emoticon]

HellesBelles396 · 24/06/2013 10:22

Just back from counselling. Taking the rest of the day off as I am sick and shaky and need to sob a bit more.

LEMisdisappointed · 24/06/2013 11:25

Hello everyone - another week then........

I have just cleaned the kitchen (including the cooker) and living room, i got a bit panicky towards the end - WTF???? Could actually do with going back to bed. Can't, wont! I have to go and get some poster paints for DD, she is making something she saw on one of the art programs so I can't not get them for her. Might have a trawl through the charity shops for some bargains. Might just stay here a bit longer too.

LEMisdisappointed · 24/06/2013 12:10

someone put this quote on my FB page - it about sums it up "''When you tell someone with depression that they should maybe try harder to be happy, it's essentially like telling a diabetic that they could totally make an adequate amount of insulin if they just concentrated a little harder.'' Didn't know whether to smile or cry!

SnowyMouse · 24/06/2013 12:31

((((HB)))) counselling can stir things up Sad

I like that quote LEM, kudos for clearing up.

Good luck with the rest of the books, SPC

Are you in bed as planned,Ed?

The rats sound like great fun, vicar Smile

Bunny and CiQ and all others, how's monday going?

Lonelybunny · 24/06/2013 13:25

I've been in all day pottering as DC 3 is poorly. Bad thing is my mind races when I'm in and wording about the C word again and for panicky but I'm okish again. Just feeling a bit down now , would like to be happy , have no reason not too but just can't push through it at the moment. Hope your all having a better day :)
