purple glad you had a good day.

Lulu glad you enjoyed the fireworks, we have watched a few out the windows whilst staying warm. That out of body experience is a good description of how I felt in the supermarket. Amazingly don't think I forgot anything.

Hope everyone else is ok.

WristBoundLatexBitch · 05/11/2016 23:01

You ladies are amazing. You are all doing so well. I love my bitches Grin.

Thanks latex goodcto hear from you Flowers

Bear have you been getting in bother again? Maybe you need to keep your big bearpaws out of the relationships threads, theres a lot of anti male hostility in those parts.... Flowers cue new hotmail account?

Hows everyone doing today? I wimped out of zumba, think it sounds fun, but scared of making a fool of myself with my 2 left feet! Went swimming instead. Watched film with DH this evening, really proud of how well he is doing from MH perspective and hes stopping smoking too. Got councellor tomorrow so will see how things go after that. Had a few good days this week, trying to decide if the mirtazapine is working or if its just a few good days.

AnxiousCarer · 07/11/2016 11:53

Morning all seen councellor at my normal work place Anxiety gone through the roof again. Not sure if its in response to the councelling or being in workplace. Just done some meditation and going for a swim on the way home.

Had a bad night with DHs anxiety last night too he was really struggling so we didn't sleep well. Arrgh.

Hope everyone else is doing ok today

Stilllivinginazoo · 07/11/2016 11:58

Anxious,

I think it is sad that males are considered to be so much bad news by so many women. I know many of my fellow males really are a bunch of eejits, but that should not be an excuse to condemn half the population. That is as bad as the older times when all women were considered as second class. Anyway I apologised for whatever I said and I am once allowed to visit here.

Now recovering after a weekend the middle of nowhere with my all my extended family.. It really was not on the top of my I want to list. I was very down on Friday and Sunday and only managed to add a smile on Saturday by drinking toooo much.

I felt awful sad on Sunday.. But now that is over..

Struggling today :(

Bought vodka but poured it down the sink! Go me! (bye bye £30, though).

Most of the day has been spent trying to get the dog to go out. He's 5.5 months, good with the toilet but today the garden has been frosty all day and he doesn't want to go out! (don't blame him). Spending half the day sitting in the garden (disabled so can't stand long) in my coat and scarf shouting "Tibby, pee!!" has me demented!! But he hasn't gone in the house and dd2 will take him out when she gets home from school.

DH working tonight (he does 2 nights a week as a gp on call) so its all down to me. Not too hard, they want cheesy pasta for tea which is one of my specialities.

Itisnoteasybeingdifferent · 07/11/2016 16:00

Weegie,,

Well done you for not getting blind drunk...
But... Can I ask, if you decide to buy Vodka again then pour it down the sink... Please post it to me instead? BlushBlush

Waste not, want little

AnxiousCarer · 07/11/2016 16:50

Hi, I do feel better for a swim Smile DH still asleep after not sleeping last night wondering if I should wake him soon or tonight will be a repeat.

zoo sorry you are struggling today, GP sounds like a nightmare, we used to be with one like that. The mess isn't worth your tears, unfortunately it will wait for you to feel more up to it! Wink

weegie well done for being so strong Flowers at least no tiddles in the house so far Smile

different saw a poster yesterday under a different name getting in bother, wondered if it was you? Glad all ok now. There apear to be a breed of woman who are not content with equal rights and want male opression. On my occasional forays onto the relationship board I seem to bump into a lot of them Hmm, mind you todays running of that gauntlet has shown me that MH stigma is alive and kicking on there too, think I may have rocked that boat todayGrin apparently I should not have children! Hmm it wasn't even my threadConfused just as well I'm made of stronger stuff than to pay attention Grin although apparently I'm more vulnerable than the average Joe too Shock ha,ha,ha

Seiously MH stigma pissess me off, thats why I talk about my experiences quite openly, but I'm not going to let it upset me Smile

weegiemum · 07/11/2016 19:34

Doggie peed about 15 times when out with dd2. Who has declared me "drunk" because I got her to practice her violin. After months of me not being sober, its the go-to insult, so I just soak it up (though I'm sober - yeah - and dh was fine with me on the phone!)

So just mooching along till bedtime. I have a book review to write for my Masters degree by 20th Nov, so thats tomorrow's plan. Will get there!

AnxiousCarer · 07/11/2016 20:11

Sounds like doggies bladder well emptied weegie congrats on staying sober. Whats your Masters in?

Stilllivinginazoo · 07/11/2016 20:56

Well done for stay strong weegie
anxious hope you and dh get some sleep tonight

Mine don't speak to me
It still hurts when I down,but I think she people are nrsy not in your life

Your closest allies don't have to share your gene pool

AnxiousCarer · 07/11/2016 22:18

zoo who am I going to pay attention to, a stranger online or the MH proffesionals who have been working closely with me and DH for the last few years Grin besides I never give a bully the satisfaction of rising to them Wink

Electron Flowers DHs family are the same, they tend to disown him and run for the hills when he has a psychotic episode. I've seen the hurt it causes so many times. Everything is about how it affects them, with no thought or understanding of the hell he goes through. He is a similar age to you and this has been going on since his teens.

Do you have other support? People that you can rely on?

Stilllivinginazoo · 07/11/2016 22:18

TyposBlushbut I think some people are best not in your life

Masters is in ~Theology.

No, I'm really not that Holy!

AnxiousCarer · 08/11/2016 12:12

Sounds interesting weegie one of my school friends did theology A level, he used to spend a lot of time at the local budist monestry, sounded intersesting.

AnxiousCarer · 08/11/2016 12:24

Just met with DH andcour respective CPNs. Seemed to go well. Some interesting insights and CPNs have some joint treatments planned for us based on whats been said today. Wholely positive.

imcrackingup · 08/11/2016 15:21

That sounds good Anxious...making progress..
And well done Weegie for dumping the vodka - I would have found it tough to throw away .. £30 down the plug hole ...so really well done for not drinking it.
Electric that sounds hard - I can't tell my family cos they'll worry and they have enough on their plate at the moment (my dad is seriously ill).
You don't need anyone in your life making it harder than it is already -I guess they can't just handle not being able to help to you and don't understand depression (said upthread DP can be an unsympathetic arse) . I hope you have friends you can talk to.
I've been doing ok - keeping busy, do things that need doing -catching up really and keeping on top of things - started feeling quite positive - but then (for no reason) started struggling yesterday and today with despondency. I have a couple of boring household things to do - will take maybe 30 mins and I just can't face it. Also have a couple of phone calls to make - and can't face that either...
Feel like hiding under the duvet...Sad

AnxiousCarer · 08/11/2016 18:21

Flowers cracking it seems to go like that, a bad day comes out the blue. The positive thing is the good days you've had before, and will have again. Is there anything you can think of that triggered this dip? I can't always pick out anything specific, but I suppose if we can it might help us avoid future dips.

Stilllivinginazoo · 08/11/2016 18:39

imcrackingup · 08/11/2016 18:51

Thanks anxious - I have no idea what has caused it ...physically my chest feels so heavy and I feel overwhelmingly sad - all for no apparent reason.
I just wish it would go away (that's putting it nicely - I have been swearing out loud to myself) so I can get on with life...

imcrackingup · 08/11/2016 18:57

Zoo have you made an appt? Just make one and you can always cancel it if you manage to get one sooner.
I put off making an appt for GP for months - then to see the one I wanted to see was a 2 week wait.
Just knowing I was doing something about it - was dealing with it - made me feel a tiny bit better...(then I got really nervous about it and was dreading it kept telling myself I could cancel/not show) then it was fine and I felt better for telling someone/asking for help...
