Still Autumn days in the village with lots of support for all kinds of MH problems - depression, anxiety, OCD, psychosis etc thread 2

[MySpideySenseTickles]

The thread filled up!
I made a new one hope no one minds.

pyrrhagena I'm reliably informed that it's volume of anaesthetic rather than the number of injections but that sometimes 3 or 4 areas need to be numbed at the same time which is why you might get more than one injection.

It's a long time since I studied anaesthesia so you're going to have to take her word for it!

Thanks! Will shut up now :)

It's no problem pyrrhagena, any time.

I think you maybe need another dentist Pyrrhagena - any chance you can change. I have a lovely dentist who I've had for years and years on the NHS. I'm dreading her retiring!

Oh and here's hoping that MNHQ will finally make a decision and put an end to 3 different threads on the "issue" - seems most of us have heard enough, but still they don't make a decision. Aaaaaaaargh

Evening all. I'm bloody knackered, but stage 3 of "get keema out of the shit by selling the house" is well underway. The estate agent came round today, measured up and took all the photos. It should be on t'internet by the weekend.

I ache, I'm anxious as fuck, but it's done. Now I have to find somewhere else to live and go through the minor stress of moving there. On the bright side my GP renewed my script for diazepam, so we may well get through this in one piece.

YY Nana. Enough discussion now. Some of the posts directed at HQ were quite close or the bone as well. I wonder if they ever feel like replying that after careful consideration they've decided just to tell folk to STFU and go and have a gin.

Just checking in. Well I have just done my first week in my new job and have enjoyed it. It's only 3 days - but it's enough!

I will have to catch up with the last few pages of the thread on my day off tomorrow. But hope everyone's ticking along :)

urgh. It is far too early. And the DC have been up since 5. On the plus side. I get to go and see a newborn baby this morning, just cooking a bad lunch for them now. Pumpkin as it happens!

good luck with the house sale and everything keema. We're just coming out the other side, although now the weather has turned I need to figure out which boxes all the winter clothes are in.

Definitely nn and that is not telling you the whole of what happened. Suffice to say, when they called me to remind me to go to my check up I told them where to go. I have a new dentist now, who has a very good reputation so hopefully next time won't be so "traumatic"

Glad to hear the job is enjoyable collar :)

Jealous you get to see a newborn pyrr Enjoy.

That's good collar

DS was also up stupidly early so feeling extra rough. The lack of sleep has upped my jumpiness. Get crawlers (when you see what look like black cats or whatever flit past your peripheral vision/jump cus you see a 'person' in the corner of your eye etc).

Good luck Keema. We just moved last month and it was really stressfull. Nice feeling when it's all sorted and you're unpacked though And if I were MNHQ I'd have deleted all the threads and be on the gin by now for sure

Where my ex went stalker-tastic last time I've been really on edge this time. We've been apart for 3 weeks though so I think he'd rather not risk being arrested (he had 2 warnings last time). But I get paranoid he's trying to look in through the window etc at night and live alone (with DS who's in bed at that point). Found out last time that he'd been keeping tabs on who's car was outside my house, who out of his friends were on my Facebook so he could see what I was up to etc and he turned up drunk a few times outside, though I didn't know (a neighbour spotted him).

Quite angry at him for putting me through that to be honest but never mind. Could be worse. He wanted us to get married! Could be filing for divorce instead

Arghhhhh total melt down from DD this morning. It's non uniform day so yesterday me n her picked our her outfit. This morning she helped me iron (by that I mean she put her hand on mine whilst I ironed) and kept saying "I love this dress mummy I'm going to wear it to school today for party". Then I try to dress her and she

Throws a fit. She doesn't want to wear anything. I put her top on she takes it off & throws it, same with the bottoms. She is kicking & screaming & crying. I ask her if she would like to wear something else but no she doesn't. She doesn't even wanna go to school now. WTF?????? I'm so what the hell. She won't come out her room and is sat on the floor with just her panties and a thermal top. She is well late for school now & I don't know what to do. Do I just keep her off??? What the hell am I suppose to say to school - that DD won't get dressed- I feel like such a shit mother. I'm shaking away.....

(( Pulled )) what a tough morning, hope you are ok x

Just got a crappy, flimsy bit of paper through the door confirming that I won't be getting stat sick pay after 13th Nov. The day after my birthday.

Fuck.

God that is blood pressure raising Pulled. I guess it's normal for kids to balk at the last minute though, did she go in the end?

Sorry to hear the news Victrix, are you able to challenge that at all?

Sorry I've not been able to get up to speed with the rest of the thread, hopefully I'll be able to tonight when the DC are asleep.

Thanks victrix hugs much needed. Sorry to hear your news re pay. Like dizzy said can you challenge it at all?

dizzy no she didn't go in as she just wouldn't get dressed. It's been a long day full of tantrum after tantrum. I tried all sorts today from time out to gentle talking to no cartoons etc nothing seemed to work.

I have a gigantic headache, pains all over & feel like a complete failure today as a mother. Days like these I have to remind myself I've been through worse but sometimes children know exactly how to suck the life out of u.
Thank God for diazepam

Well glad you have something to pick you up, I normally hit the chocolate.

Oh it was a combination of diazepam & chocolate

victrix when my SSP ran out, forms for claiming ESA dropped through my door (I think I didn't have to do anything). SSP is limited to a certain number of weeks, AIUI

Sorry to hear that, victrix

I'm glad your new job is going well, collar

Oh dear (((( pulled ))))

((( All )))

I'm sure I've missed people, but thinking of you all. Some of the posts on the other thread have shaken me, such prejudice and so much entitlement.

Thank you Pyrrh, Orchard and Snowy :)

Pulled - (((hugs))) don't feel that you are a shit mother. Many mums who have DD's go through exactly those situations! My dad is nearly 17 and we both still have hissy fits n arguments over what on earth she wants to go out wearing....

Snowy - I am at one with you on some of those posts. I have caught up with reading through our thread, then read through that one.

Victrix - :( I agree with dizzy and pulled see if you can challenge it. Or look into what silvery has said.
How is your skin btw? Is all back to normal now?

Lem - I am hoping that you may still be having the odd lurk about and may see my post....
Thank you for all the support, kind words and advice you have given to me since I joined the thread early this year.
You will be missed :( x

Hope everyone else has had a reasonable day :)

Pulled - err .. That is my dd who is nearly 17, not my dad as per autocorrect!!!!! :(

pulled sorry to hear about your difficult day but you're not a bad mother. I'm in awe of anyone who has children as I could never do it.

victrix that's quite a shitty piece of news to get through the post. I hope you can get some other financial support sorted.

Glad to hear the job is going well collar.

I'm knackered after my first full week of work so I'm off down the pub for something to eat and a few pints

snowy I forgot you! I hope you've had an ok day and that you haven't let yourself get too bothered by the other threads.

Thanks snowy collar & MP I'm feeling much better now. It's nearly bed time for DD so I've decided to just write off today and start afresh tomorrow with her.

Enjoy your meal MP

Oh collar I forgot to say I'm so glad your work is going well you deserve it

What is everyone doing for dinner? I'm making fish n Chips for everyone
(Oven baked though not from chippy)

Thanks everyone

Yeah, it is the end of the 28 weeks. Also I am back in hospital AGAIN with these bloody gallstones.

What a day!
