Is anyone around to talk?

[LittleMissPetty]

Please help I need talking down. I'm feeling so lonely. When I was younger and feeling like this I'd self harm or go for a walk - night walks were the best. I can do neither now but feeling horrible and getting to the hysterical stage. I want to cry my eyes out but that feels worse but can't stop them. Please tell me a story or your day or anything.

There was one with about an accountant and a pencil that I always snort at. I’ll google it...

Ranting is good - I feel like just chucking everything around the room just to let it out

Mine are 16 and 20 now,so a little more independent,but still I struggle sometimes,(I'm convinced they have me on speed dial!) And that I have no other name but ''muuuuuuummmmmm''!

I am going to have to have a look at classics ... accountant and a pencil you say?

Little I'm terribly sorry but DD has just finally settled so I'm going to catch a couple of hours while I can - I'll pop back in the morning 😊

Eww thank you so much for your time I hope you get a good rest

Maybe fling a few cheap plates in the wheels bin? Might help relieve some stress....any old bills might make you feel better tearing to pieces

“Did you hear about the accountant with constipation? He worked it out with a pencil ✏️ 💩” 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Bexter it's great though that you're still their first port of call for whatever

Hah that’s the one - watch the video though, it was Alice’s replies I found most funny! Also:

A nun is lying in the bath washing herself when there is a knock at the door.

"Who is it?" she asks.

"It's the blind man," comes the reply.

"Come on in, my child," the nun says.

The door opens and a man walks in.

"Nice tits. Where do you want the blinds?"

Goldfish 🤣🤣
Gosh I didn't think I'd smile tonight

I'm not so sure,lol! How's your job,do you enjoy it overall?

Secret 😂🤣
Also
"Why did the Lobster blush?"
"Because the sea weed"

Someone told me to make playlists of 'good' songs to listen to for times like this and to avoid using shuffle - in case one of those songs comes on you really don't want to hear. I like to listen to songs I can play on the guitar (bit limited!) and imagine myself singing them really loudly and playing along. Wish I could take my own advice, having a bit of a wobble myself tonight..

I love work but it's been very stressful lately. Also doing a course on top which I have wanted to do for ages to get more qualified

Also just moved house 😐

Oo tell us about your new house!

Hey, I can see you already have a lot of posters supporting you, which is ace.

Just thought I would chime in as I am always up late, and know far too many crappy jokes.

Steady on that's a good idea. Survivor by Destinys Child, Fighter by Christina Aguilera and I'm still standing by Elton help.

Are you ok though? Feel free to talk about it or anything. I already feel so much better just randomly chatting so thank you everyone again

Am going to have to sign off now, the two rampaging T. rex’s will be up in a few hours, but remember that every time you’ve had to fight this battle before you’ve won, which is a pretty remarkable feat. Take care xx 😚

I finally own 😀 no more inspections or crappy magnolia walls (I hope I don't offend any magnolia enthusiasts). Have painted the lounge, kitchen and DDs room. Also wallpapered one of DDs walls (first time wallpapering). Nearly threw the paper out the window but DD helped with everything and it looks quite good. Couldn't have done it without DD she spent her Easter holidays decorating with me bless her

Thanks Goldfish ... I may need language lessons from your T Rexs at some point. Xx

OP, I was depressed throughout my childhood and all my teens. I used to take night walks and self harm when I had that panicky, night time feeling. If I could eventually sleep, I'd often wake up with a horrible panicky feeling that I couldn't breathe. I'd sit next to open windows or have another night walk. Not feeling scared of being alone at night because my own panicky feeling was worse. Anyway, those feelings are a very distant memory. I haven't had them for over 10 years. I'm not saying this to show off or put you down, but because my biggest fear was that I'd always have those nights. That I was broken. I didn't take antidepressants though I think they are wonderful things and you shouldn't dismiss them. At my worst I was on a particular hormonal contraceptives and wonder if that affected me but it was likely down to PTSD.

If you can't sleep, rather than comedy I suggest something with a gripping storyline. You can't go wrong with superhero series, Jessica Jones, Black Lightning, Luke Cage? Or how about downloading a meditation? My partner had a long phase of a different kind of anxiety, and he found white noise and meditation apps really helpful. I hope you manage to get some sleep.

Bitter and twisted ... tell me your worst

Ah stress at work,course,New house and teenager,wow you have loads going on...you making time for yourself? I'm currently eating bag of sweets,bar of choccy,and savouring glass of ice cold wine
