Sick and tired of feeling sick and tired!!!

[BriarRose]

Sorry, just needed to say it!!!!

[Hidden]

Awww im the same luv, hate feeling like this, i just want to be happy again. Im sitting here watching my fella putting the tree up!! I usually do it every year on 1st December and my house resembles santas grotto, but this year i just cant be bothered, no motivation, no spark and no christmas spirit. I used to be worse than the kids for being excited. I really dont like myself atm, i even cried to my daughter and fella yesterday saying i feel like going away from you all because im making everyone miserable, but got reassured im not and a hug from my fella. I am really, i feel horrible, theyre just being nice.

[Hidden]

Oh and usually i have colour coordination with xmas decorations, ya know, like blue and silver one year, or red and gold another year, this year, ive got multi colour!!! Bless him, he's doing his best, im not going to say anything, im grateful he's doing it this year lol x

Hugs

Linny all i would say is keep talking to your partner. As the "normal" one you do feel helpless and at least you talking to him will help him and you.

Hope your dog is ok.

Love Lou. xxx

Big hugs Briar Rose. I keep saying time and time again i wish i could wave a magic wand and make you all have a better time and feel better.

Thinking of you Brar Rose.

Big hugs and love

Lou xxxx

Thanks my loves! Sorry ca't say much atm - but Linny, if your guy gave you a hug and reassurance, is doing his best to "make" Christmas cos you can't - sounds like love to me, and he DOESN'T want you to "go away" - and I'm sure you're daughter doesn't either.

Christmas can be a pig when we're like this, all pressure to be "happy" - when in fact the Samaritans get most of their calls over the Christmas period, so it's a myth that "everybody else" is having a fabulous time! Lotsa love, sorry I'm no use atm! xxxxxxxxxxxx

Lou, yeah a magic wand would be good - wish I had one! xxxxxxx

Bless you, hun, feel a pain in the you-know-what at the moment! xxxxxxx

[Hidden]

Yeh well you are not coming across like that on here. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[BriarRose in reply to Hidden]

Bless you, hun! Just fed up with moaning and I'm sure people are - or will be - fed up with it too! Thank you for all you do for the people on here, you're a star! xxxxx

[Hidden in reply to BriarRose]

You have to rant to get a better picture of things. I do just what everyone does and yourself on here. Lets say we are stars together.....................and you have just had the "Daddy" on knowing you are not yourself. Thats what friends are for. xxxx

Hi. All. Yes, Christmas is a rotten time for those with nervous illness. The pressures are unbelievable. I used to want to curl up and hibernate for a couple of months. People are pressured into buying things they don't really want; Mum is pressured in providing good meals, (all day every day). We are forced into the company of people we don't much care for, and that includes relatives! Now look, Rose; this is not like you, and I shall have to come and give you a talking to!!! You have a wonderful sense of humour and are always an inspiration, and I feel very sad that you are going through a bad patch. But it will pass as you know. I am sure that once the Christmas pressures are off most of us will come back to normal (!!!). No wonder they call this the silly season! Do you best Rose, we are all with you. Lots of love and blessings. jonathan.

Thank you Jonathan, wise words as always! To be honest, i don't think it's Christmas as such - I mean, it's probably not helping, but it's not a major factor in my life these days. For years now I've spent Christmas on my own, and been happy to do so - nice food, some books/DVDs, a jug of wine - and I'm quite content! I don't do much in the way of presents - none of my family do these days - so that's not a major problem.

It's really the day-to-day stuff I'm struggling with atm - particularly with the bathroom out of action - the cooking, cleaning, shopping! Yesterday (I think) I slept most of the day, just kept dropping off on the sofa. Worried about another friend who hasn't been/isn't well, but have nothing to give atm, I know I need to "protect" myself atm but worry about not being there for her

Sorry, just a pain at the moment, think I'd just better shut up!

Love as always

Rose

my dear Rose you haven't been well for sometime, i know the feeling and whatever we say it will not wipe up your sadness, so i am going to try this and see if it will make you fel better:

Joke 1:

The drunken defendant appears yet again before the tired judge, who says, "You have been constantly appearing before me for the past twenty years." Replied the drunk: "Can I help it if you can't get promoted?"

Joke 2:

A couple is sitting on the porch sipping wine. The wife says, "I love you."

The husband says, "Is that you or the wine talking?"

The wife replies, "It's me, talking to the wine."

more will come until you feel better

big hug

[BriarRose in reply to rouri]

Thank you, Rouri - as they say, laughter is the best medicine! *Possibly) true story - woman took her ex-partner to court for child support. She said he'd left her 10 years ago, but she had 3 children by him - aged 12, 8 and 4. The judge, somewhat confused, said - But. Ms X, if he left you 10 years ago, how do you have two such young children by him? Please, your honour, said the woman - he kept coming back to apologise!

[Hidden in reply to rouri]

Reminds me of that wonderful comedian Arthur Haynes (some of you older ones may remember). He was lying in a hospital bed and the surgeon and sister came in. The surgeon said, "Sorry Mr. Haynes, but we can find nothing wrong wit you", to which Haynes replied, "Can I help it if you are incompetent!". Love. jonathan.

[BriarRose in reply to Hidden]

[Hidden in reply to BriarRose]

Lmbo

[BriarRose in reply to Hidden]

I used to work in the Probation Service, and the story went round that one guy, having been found guilty of some crime, was asked by the judge if he had anything to say before sentence was passed. "Yes" he said, talking into his digital watch - "Beam me up, Scottie!" Don't know what he'd done, but think he should have had his sentence reduced for having a sense of humour! xxxx

[fadedlizard in reply to BriarRose]

Hope you're feeling better, Rose.

I think we're all having a "beam me up, Scotty" moment.

Take Care.x
