Hi, guys! Despite my protestations, found that the party last Friday was mainly good fun so am prepared to host another (also made quite a bit of cash at the pawnbrokers!!!) You are all most welcome ... ! What is the best night for you all? Friday or Bank Holiday Monday?

jynier · 03/05/2013 00:21

I managed sleep until 3 which was good and was awake for an hour or two. I wake up thinking of my ex with the girl he left me for. I think he was abusive so am on the EA thread and veering between being scared of him coming back while gutted that he won't

themidwife · 03/05/2013 09:04

Can I propose a new name for our next thread?!

Sootikins Don't Sleep (or a variation)
Whadya think?

Sorry to hear that Colin - you'll have great support on the EA thread! I can recommend this book .......

Check this out on AMZN: Why Does He Do That?: Inside the Minds of Angry and Controlling ... amazon.co.uk/dp/0425191656

themidwife · 03/05/2013 09:58

themidwife · 04/05/2013 00:12

I'm guessing you're not partying then!! Smile

jynier · 04/05/2013 00:26

Do you think that my yodelling and spoon-playing has affected the attendance; there's no-one here!

cafecito · 04/05/2013 02:30

Colin welcome to the thread and sorry to hear what you've been through. I split up from an EA relationship gosh a year or two ago now [time flies] it was very very difficult, still is at times. feel free to talk here if it helps you.

themidwife Shock Grin

jynier, where has the butler gone!?

2anddone · 04/05/2013 03:32

Is anybody awake? I can't sleep. Not having a great time lately husband has decided he is definitely never coming back and coming to get the rest of his bits on Sunday while I take dc out. My head is spinning and got a headache have cried solid for past 7 hours. I have 10,000 words need writing for college by 27th may which I have already been given an extension on as should be 13th may. I can't concentrate and now tonight I can't sleep and what is usually a really comfy mattress feels like its full of rocks! Sorry for the rant Blush

1stepforward · 04/05/2013 03:45

Hi I'm here - cant sleep either which is annoying as I will crash out when everyone else is getting up and need to be out the house early tomorrow. You sound exhausted. Try and stay calm - it's true that things always do seem a bit better in the cold light of day. Can you make a plan re the essay? Can you break it down and work out when you can work on it and set yourself goals to write x number of words by some short term deadlines? Also, would it be worth talking to your tutor to see if there is any more flexibility? Or perhaps see your doctor if that would help - it might be that you would be able to be signed off in effect which could help if you need more time to complete the essay. Easy to say, but try not to panic and try and formulate some workable plan which you can work towards. I am new to the thread and havent read back so don't know your circumstances. But you sound as though you are having a hard time so be easy on yourself. Hopefully you have some RL support. Re your husband leaving - it might give you some finality and once you are over the initial stages, it could mean that you can move on which might be positive. I appreciate that none of this might help but sending you best wishes and I hope you get some rest.
