Thanks Pulled I'm quite excited Grin

Hope the woozieness passes soon, I'm exactly the same today as lunch consisted of two paracetamol, two tramadol and a dihydrocholine tablet. Time for a nap I think!

SnowyMouse · 28/10/2014 13:23

Ooh, I hope you do get it tomorrow, victrix! Smile

I hope the wooziness passes soon for both of you.

I'm okish, CPN coming later but I'm not that anxious to see her.

lemisscared · 28/10/2014 15:01

Just to let you know. I came back (lemmingaround) although i had to be a bit sly and use another email addy as mnhq weren't replying to my requests to return. Maybe it takes a while Confused my anxiety rocketed over the weekend and im not really coping. Surprised to realise just how much i rely on you all. Hopefully I'll stay but i worry that the home truths I spoke on those other threads will result in my being banned.

SnowyMouse · 28/10/2014 15:25

(((( lem )))) Do you want to talk about it?

lemisscared · 28/10/2014 15:30

Thanks snowy I'm worried about my dd and my anxiety is taking over. Not up to talking about it just now but hopefully will pick up x

Victrix · 28/10/2014 15:47

I'm glad to see you back Lem but sorry you are having a tough time Flowers xx

MySpideySenseTickles · 28/10/2014 16:38

Nice to see you lem, sorry you needed to come back xx

My CPN thinks I seem better, great Smile

Victrix · 28/10/2014 17:56

DP had just told me that my baby corn snake has got out of his tank and he can't find him Sad

I hope the cat doesn't get him first Sad

SnowyMouse · 28/10/2014 18:08

(((( victrix )))) I hope it turns up soon. Sad

Mentalpsychiatrist · 28/10/2014 18:13

victrix I hope you find your snake soon.

snowy it's good to hear that your CPN thinks you're doing well.

Nice to see you again lem but sorry you're feeling crap.

Hope the wooziness has passed pulled.

I had a very busy day at work and have come home with a splitting headache. Wonder if I can wriggle out of having to cook dinner?

DizzyKipper · 28/10/2014 18:24

Sorry to hear that victrix. FWIW my bro's sinaloan milksnake escaped once. We couldn't find him anywhere and resigned ourselves to the worst. Many, many months later he was discovered squeezed into a gap pf a hi-fi unit, cold but apparently none the worst for it. And this is a household tat had 8 cats at the time. I'd bet your snake has also find a nice dark, tight spot to hide in - which might make him harder to find but at least he'd be safe from the cat.

TheOrchardKeeper · 28/10/2014 18:50

Sorry to hear that lem and victrix. And that's good news Snowey Smile

Feel like asking a family member to have DS sometimes. Like I'm too bad a mum for him. I love him to bits but I snap at him too much, can't give him my all and am just no fun to be around at the moment.

But I can't realistically plus I know half of it is me beating myself up. Doesn't stop the guilt though. Seeing another GP tomorrow.

Hope everyone has a nice eve.

Collardove · 28/10/2014 19:22

Lem - :) sorry that you are not in a great place, but nice to have you back!

Victrix - hope your op goes well if it's tomorrow - will be thinking of you :)

Snowy - well that's good to read. What do you think to that?
I think sometimes we don't always see our own 'improvement'. I remember at times this year being told how much better I seem, when I just kind of thought I was okish.

Orchard - I cannot say just how many times I felt like you in the same situation with the guilt of how I was with my DS when he was younger.
Probably from the age of 7/8 I used to snap do much, and he would more often then not be in the firing line, and it went on for many years.
He is 20 now and although he remembers it well, he appears to of forgiven me as he now understands MH issues, and how it can affect a person.
We get on so much better, but I still carry the guilt and maybe always will.
How I didn't rob him of his confidence I just don't know?

Pulled - I thought of you today when I was standing on my hoofs on the shop floor at work for 8 hours! Thinking you had your injection (don't envy that) and were probably nice and cosy in your bed....

I did have a better day today after yesterday's downhill slide, hope it lasts :)

(((Hugs))) for all

SnowyMouse · 28/10/2014 20:01

I agree, I'm better than how I was. CPN reminded me I'm due a CPA, I find them very intimidating with all the staff there. How do others get through CPA?

Victrix · 28/10/2014 21:20

Just been told I'm fasting from midnight, it's on!
