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.

Well done keema that's great work

Why did you ask for your post to be deleted Keema - maybe not wanting to de-rail the Village thread. I've just seen your other thread and will e mail all the names you have given. Assume we should say we live in the area (only a white lie) as it will make more sense?

Can all you lovely Village people see Keema's other thread - can't remember exact title but something like MH Board Folks Need Your Help

I'm still lurking around and not doing too badly just now, sending good wishes to you all through cyberspace.

Nice to see you, NN

How is everyone doing today?

Awesome. Watchd sun rise over mist-clad town. Bought lovely full length wool coat. Had fry up at 7am and egg and chips at 8am. On fourth cappuccino of the day. Have purchased much Coke zero for a very good price. Planning on a run and a long bath.

Struggling. How are you snowy?

Seeing things again. But otherwise not too bad.
It's a little girl this time, Shes always just out of view. She's been following me round all day.

Sounds good, Enpo

I've got CBT homework around the voices to do this week, session went ok.

Sorry you're struggling, pyrrh

Sorry you're seeing things, spidey, it must be disconcerting.

Hope the CBT homework goes well. I always found that difficult.

So I've learned I can reduce painkillers or junk food. Not both.

How till you have your op victrix?

Hoping my blip is over the worse now as feel mildly ok today now :)
The whole of the last week was just an awful re-run of a previous time my anxiety was severely triggered.

Will I ever be free of this shit??? :( Must hold it together as back to work tomorrow.

Pyrrh - sorry to read you are struggling today.

Victrix - such a dilemma! Which will be the priority!!

Snowy - glad your session went well. Will you be masterchefing later on bbc2 8pm?

I just came on to say about masterchef, collar (great minds and all that ;) ).

Glad you're feeling mildly ok today

(((( victrix ))))

Snowy - :)

I do like a bit of shepherds pie snowy :)

It's a bit odd without Michel Roux jnr, he fell out with the bbc. He always looked like a little meerkat in the kitchen there. Mind you Marcus Waring seems a good replacement

My op is on the 17th so this time in two weeks I will be gallstoneless

The letter for it came through today so it's official, luckily it's an afternoon admission so I can have breakfast.

Have decided to cut down the painkillers and add back the junk food, based on the fact that it's easier to get hold of more food

Watching extreme fishing on 5*

I think it's nice not having Monica as the subordinate

I agree with that Snowy. I wouldn't want to upset either as they are both quite fierce!!

Victrix - ha! I would of formed that same conclusion!!! :)

Plus the food is tastier. I'm finding it hard to type right now as the cat is asleep with her head on my typing arm!

Hi everyone,
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post, but didn't feel like starting my own thread. Things are really difficult here, dh is now in a psych unit. I am struggling not to panic about what the future holds for me and the kids this evening. I am getting lots of support from my lovely family and lots of offers of help from friends, but it keeps hitting me in waves. I'm not sure about going into any detail as it could well be triggering for some of you lovely people. But I would really appreciate your support x.

(((( CIQ )))) Do feel free to talk.

((( CIQ ))) xx

That sounds very hard x

thanks snowy,victrix xx

Don't want to out myself, but.... two and a half weeks ago my dh made "a very determined effort" to kill himself. He very nearly succeeded. He went AWOL one morning and I ended up having to call the police. 6 hours later he was found. While waiting I really thought he had succeeded. First week we bounced from one crisis to another, surgeries, hospitals, sections. Things are calmer now and dc back at school today thank goodness.

((( CIQ ))) so sorry to read about your dh :( You,your dh and DC are in my thoughts.

I have missed you on the village thread. We are all here for you x

Thanks collar. I'm struggling tonight, not managing to get my fears for the future under control. Feels like I am in a nightmare sometimes. Can't quite believe this is happening. Not entirely sure I should be posting about this in the village though I am struggling to maintain my own mental health now

Really really should go to bed
