Ooh do you live by the coast, b4nana?
I used to live in coastal Somerset & it was so lovely, think my favourite time of year was Jan to March when there were no other people around. (I live in Cheshire now. Not a lot of seaside round here!)
Well done on our exercise, there are a bunch of others like you here too. Must , do you do sporty stuff too?

saltededamummy · 30/10/2016 16:39

Sounds like we're going to have some fun together, out in our perfect autumn woodland. I'll bring torches so we can carry on in the dark. At the end there will be a glorious little cafe with a table for us all, comfy chairs, a roaring fire and endless pots of tea & mountains of crumpets & cakes .

b4nana · 30/10/2016 16:48

Not anymore alas, but it's close enough by that I can get down now and then.

Good news - I've made contact with friends who will let me stay with them tonight and for a few days. Thinking it may be best not to be alone right now, and that going home tonight is not the answer either.

By the bye, wondering if I should be posting in relationships instead of here? Though you all seem so friendly. (First time posting on MN. AIBU scared the pants off me as a lurker)

saltededamummy · 30/10/2016 16:54

Oh gosh b4nana, I've reread your post. Not sure if you live together, sorry if I've missed that, but there's a basic question that I guess drives what happens next: do you want to be with him?
And incidentally, please don't let this impact on you seeing your GP. It's a separate thing, please don't let his comments or actions change your recovery plan.

saltededamummy · 30/10/2016 16:55

You could post in Relationships too. I suspect that you are One Of Us now & there may be no escape... mwahahaha Halloween Grin

b4nana · 30/10/2016 17:00

Yes we live together. Or, at least we did until he said to go. It's his place.

he is trying to protect himself. I want to be with him but I'm not sure I can have the understanding to see the "get out" as a stress reaction rather than deliberate hurt

AnxiousCarer · 30/10/2016 17:01

Why thank you salted Halloween Wink

b4nana I don't think you can ever fully rely on whats said in the heat of a fight, you need to talk again when you are both calmer and see if you can get to the bottom of things. What you both want and don't want and why he doesn't trust you and what can be done about that. Most importantly think about what you need.

b4nana · 30/10/2016 17:10

He doesn't trust me not to hurt him because I snap and lash out at him when I get anxious and down. He said he won't give me a third chance to change and be better

I want so badly to be better Sad

AnxiousCarer · 30/10/2016 17:21

salted Oh I'm looking forward to sitting by the fire in the cafe Halloween Grin

b4nana glad you have somewhere to stay whilst you sort things out, I think salted could be right think you may have become one of us now. Echo what salted said about seeing your GP anyway.

AnxiousCarer · 30/10/2016 17:31

b4nana we all snap or lash out from time to time , especially when under stress, we are only human. Don't beat yourself up about that.

Get better for you, not for anyone else. If you want to change change for you, not for anyone else. And if it doesnt work out with DP don't worry you will find someone who loves you for being you and doesn't need you to change for them.

mustheshowgoon · 30/10/2016 19:58

saltededamummy yes I climb too but haven't been for a while because I have been poorly (physically which hasn't help my mental health one bit).

B4nana sending you positive vibes. We can all be better.

AnxiousCarer · 30/10/2016 20:13

Bloody hell, had a really good day, then sitting chatting to DHs grandparents and the anxiety and urges to self harm kick in. No idea what in that situation would be a trigger. Just making small talk watching light hearted TV.

Purplebluebird · 30/10/2016 20:44

b4nana I would probably post in relationship too, there is some good advice there. Aibu is scary! I hope you get it sorted somehow, I'm no good at relationship advice I'm afraid. You need to go see a doctor about how you're feeling, then take your relationship after that I think.

I have hurt my finger today! I've no idea what happened, but it's really sore on the top joint, and I can't bend it properly... Ehhh!!

WristBoundLatexBitch · 30/10/2016 20:48

Sorry I know I started this but I'm finding it hard to post. But really glad I got you all together Grin

purple try some ice in it, hope it feels better soon

AnxiousCarer · 30/10/2016 20:49

On it

AnxiousCarer · 30/10/2016 20:52

Hi latex good to hear from you, hope yoy are having a good weekend

AnxiousCarer · 30/10/2016 22:01

Guys, theres someone needing a hand hold on a post on here starting trigger warning trigger being suicidal thoughts, have invited them over, but thought I would see if any others arround to offer support.

saltededamummy · 30/10/2016 22:42

Latex, we missed you!
There's no need to say anything at all, please just know that we are here if you want to talk. Your aim was to bring a special sort of MNers together & you did a great job! Don't forget that we ALL have crappy stuff that hits us hard when we least expect it, certainly when we don't deserve it; we understand.
Do you have some support IRL? I'd like to know that you can see someone if you need to, tomorrow or even tonight.
Love & hugs xx

saltededamummy · 30/10/2016 22:51

must I totally understand how physical health can affect MH (don't understand climbing though!) Is there anything you can do meanwhile, until you are strong enough to dangle from a thread over a gazillion foot drop?

How strange that it happened in such a quiet situation carer. Did you feel pressured to be entertaining perhaps? Or physically hemmed in by all the people in your room? It's sometimes such a tiny thing that can set off a PA. Well done for getting through it.

Everyone else - hope you are feeling calm & positive and that you all have a restful & refreshing sleep.

And a gentle, caring & friendly handhold to all, lurkers & posters alike x

AnxiousCarer · 30/10/2016 23:11

Thanks salted we've visited DHs grandparents regularly for years, I consider them family. They don't get MH problems really, but have been the only members of DHs family to stick by him through everything, can't understand it at all.

aintnoregular · 31/10/2016 00:14

Thank god for this group! I'm new to mumsnet and quite frankly can't figure out what I'm doing. Ended up here though which is all good!

AnxiousCarer · 31/10/2016 00:25

Hi regular welcome, it seems quiet tonight, think people are trying to sleep as kids back at school tomorrow. (Did you find the PE kit salted?) I'm still about though. The guys got me through a bad night last week when my PTSD had been triggered badly.

AnxiousCarer · 31/10/2016 01:16

Going to try to get some sleep, as have plans to gym and swim in the morning, hope everyone else is sleeping well.

saltededamummy · 31/10/2016 06:27

Morning all, we'll it's back to school today for my two, after a lazy week at home. It's going to be fun getting DD moving, she's not a fan of mornings at the best of times, it's going to take all my patience I think. Good news that I found her PE kit, bad news that the shirt was still mucky.... grrr!!
