The next stage of my life WILL be better...

[Dumbledior]

New thread for me to moan...

Awww dont feel blue, sorry to jump in on your thread but you deserve a better deal than you are getting right now from your GP and H. DONT take second best, bang on to the GP about your mood or blinking change the GP, so many of them just put stuff down to womens problems it really annoys me!

I feel you need some you time. Obviously at work you get a buzz because you are there and enjoy it. Find something for some YOU time in the evening if poss, even if it is a swim at the local pool. You may find just 30 minutes away may help.

Ignore me ranting but worried you sound how I felt some years ago, but I turned things round, not my weight unfortunately, still battling, but MUCh happier and brighter and no longer on AD's, it is a long road but once you find out if there is a medical problem you can move on. If there isnt, as in my case, just plain fed up, depressed and low, you will need to focus and try to move on.

HOwever, a supportive husband is part of that, for some.

Chin up, tho, and hey you did well at WW!!! WELL DONE. x

Dior, this thread is not just helping you it is helping many others too. Remember that - you are giving so much good advice and just plain good old-fashioned friendliness to many of us here - so give yourself a pat on the back, you really do seem great, so dont knock it.

Glad the WW went well too.

Well done with the WW Dior

Yep - so do I - had a weird kind of non-row with dp last night - he'd had a bottle, I hadn't, which didn't help - and I think it started over me putting his eggs in the fridge. It got very odd, I said I hated him staying up late whilst I went to bed, he said I knew what his lifestyle was and now I was moving the goalposts... and so I gave up (can't argue with a man with a bottle full of wine in him) & went to bed alone - he slept on the sofa.

His mother's coming to stay tonight - which means we won't get a chance to talk - really don't know what to say. I've sent him a nice text this morning, we'll see how he responds.

At least I'm surrounded by nice young interns at work. They're all young enough to be my son, but we do have some laughs.

And I'm rubbish at arguing, never know what to say. My parents argued through 53 years of marriage and argue still. I never learned the knack.

Just caught up! Well done with the WW Dior.

I agree with HW's comments below too.

And eye candy is always a bonus! Anything that makes you smile brightens up the day! (I just found a £10 note on my walk into work, absolutely nobody around, I picked it up, sort of stood around for a minute waiting for someone from a comedy show to come and pounce on me, or someone to run over screaming that I'd stolen their money... nobody came, so now I'm £10 richer and smiling too! Every little thing helps!)

Tanee58 sorry to read about the argument Good move not trying to argue with someone who's had a bottle of wine though. Hopefully the nice text will do the trick. Men hey!

Well done Dior, keep up with the healthy diet. I am stealing myself not to buy a lunch of chips with garlic mayo from the pub downstairs - my favourite comfort food & I feel like I need some comfort. I've tried to be good lately, and know I'll regret it if I give in.

Baffy - lucky you - the most I ever find are pennies! Oh, and once, £4 in change on the grass in a fairground. It just about bought 2 rides on the carousel for dd and me.

No response to my text yet ... aren't men pathetic sometimes? My best schoolfriend's mother used to refer to men as 'necessary nuisances - and often not even necessary' .

Nor mine at the moment - it's part of the reason I hate him sitting up late. I reckon he's probably feeling sorry for himself and he hasn't texted back. He just withdraws when we have any altercation and acts like I ought to know what he's like and forgive and understand all. Like I'm his mother or something!

Yes, I think he's having withdrawal symptoms from his job - he usually does at the end of a tour, and he was in a lovely part of the country. But he's had work last week, and starts rehearsals for his next tour on Monday, so I don't know what the problem was.

Anyway, he finally texted to say he doesn't know why we fell out either, but he's sorry, and to partly make up, he has vacuumed, washed up, fixed the door handle on the spare room so his mother can shut the door, and even taken his bottles to the recycling (so his mother doesn't raise an eyebrow, methinks ?

Yes, it would help if he drank less, he drinks when he's happy, and drinks when he's sad. No win really. I thought we were doing well as he was down to one a night, but it was two again - and none shared with me! He drank less when he smoked. On balance, don't know which I preferred...

Anyway - how are you today? I've been hogging this thread - sorry. Any nice students in? How's H been?
