Err, we need a new thread guys - I know this is Vicar's job so i hope you like the name.

This thread is a support group for those with mental health issues and generally feeling crap, some of us are on medication, some of us have help.

So come on in, grab a stool at the pub, the fires warm and the welcome is warmer - stay a while or move right on in!

All welcome

Ha! im not very good at this!

(((( lem )))) we can all tell NY to F* off together!!!

I'm not in the mood at all just pissed off with everything to be honest. NYE party lem what is that? I think the last one I went to was about 12 years ago when I was 20.... That sounds sad just reading it back :(

I'm just bracing myself for my appt Thursday - have a feeling my dose will be upped as the current has lost its mojo! As for my partner well I'm managed to rough that up & asked him to stay away till after my appt as I don't wanna say more stupid things to him at the moment :(

I will though be stuffing my face tonight - to hell with the diet today!!!

(((hugs to LEM and DD32 and anyone else who needs one)))

I am ready to see the back of 2013 but I can't be doing with all the NYE hype. I'll be in bed for 10 and hopefully sleep through it.

I got a new app for my phone - Sleepbot. I'm going to use it to track my sleeping habits and try and get better sleep. So far, after one night, it's told me I move around a lot!

Oh, I maintained on the weight front. Happy with that, seeing as it was Christmas :)

hello all. I posted on here for a bit a while ago then sort of dissappeared...wondered if I could come back to the village?
I'm feeling very crap just now having quite stupidly decided to try coming off citalopram, even though I knew I wasnt ready and right before Christmas LOL
I have re-started today and just hoping they kick in soon as I have felt I was totally losing the plot the last few days..
I have tea, cake and biscuits to share if I can join you all!

LollipopViolet · 31/12/2013 12:40

Ugh. Facing the "clean your room" moaning from parents. There's lots of clutter, but I know where stuff is. I tidy it to their exacting standards, can't find something, we go back to square one. That and I'm a natural hoarder.

It's a big job, it's overwhelming and yet all they do is moan and nag and don't even offer to help. Like I've been asking for years. Just every few months, help me declutter because I'm a natural hoarder.

Never happens. I just get moaned at more.

Still, I've done a bit, that'll do for today.

DumDum32 · 31/12/2013 12:46

voilet new app sounds interesting.

pop welcome & thanks for Brew Cake & biscuits need lots of those today!!!

DumDum32 · 31/12/2013 12:48

voilet U've done a bit that will do!!! They'll just have to moan tomorrow again.

LollipopViolet · 31/12/2013 12:51

Bah, can do no right today.

Apparently left the freezer door open (slightly - if you don't give it hard push if doesn't fully close).

Can I just sleep til tomorrow, please?

DumDum32 · 31/12/2013 13:03

((( voilet )))

LollipopViolet · 31/12/2013 13:09

It's alright really - I went in the freezer yesterday while cooking dinner so the door has been slightly open all night. Not ideal but really not the end of the world.

Going to have lunch, then might do a bit more tidying up - have got on a roll now haha!

Am off skating early Thursday morning, then need to show proof of JSA to the college to finish my enrolment, so could do with room being sorted by the end of tomorrow.

Hmm, might even treat myself to breakfast at Frankie & Benny's after skating, or go to the vintage tea place Grin

jinglebellsarecoming · 31/12/2013 13:54

Ah I get it now!

So I didnot get showered but did get dressed! And I'm in on telling 2013 and nye to piss off!

This village rocks!

Hi all and (((hugs))) to everyone on this tricky eve.

Having tough time. Arranged to spend new year at dear bros as dh and I never good at new year... will be good to put 2013 behind me. But dh not rught since this morning. WIthdrawn anti social doesn't look right but doesnt know why. Went to have lie down. Cbt doesnt serm to have given him insight as to causes of major mood changes. I am worried for him and cross with him for basically spoiling today. It was going to be a challenge for me anyway but tjis is proving really shit. I know I sound selfish but thats how I feel. Ive orhanised everything the last couple of days. Wanted an ok eve. Sorry to post and run am in bathroom! Will try pop back later.

You are all brilliant as is tjus village - such a big comfort. Thanks so much everyone who's supported me this year - its made a massive difference xxx

Sorry for record number typos x

DumDum32 · 31/12/2013 19:46

(((( snowy )))) & (((( colouring ))))

Anything sweet to eat will do I just happen to be surrounded by chocolate Grin

LollipopViolet · 31/12/2013 19:49

CIQ that sounds rough, but that's what the Village is for - you can say how you feel and not be judged for it (((CIQ)))

Snowy any idea why you feel like that? I used to get it a lot, back when I was being horrifically bullied in school, but fortunately haven't had it for a good few years. Know how horrible it can be (((Snowy)))

I'm feeling a bit anxious tonight. I hate fireworks, they scare me and I KNOW I'm going to get woken up at midnight by everyone around me seeing in the New Year. Could they not do it in a way that doesn't impact other people? Why are there fireworks at New Year anyway?

DumDum32 · 31/12/2013 20:00

Yep voilet I'm losing the plot with fireworks too... they have already around my area :(

DumDum32 · 31/12/2013 20:02

Started* sorry about my stupid typos tonight :(
