Fed up tbh

[MsAndyIvy]

I’m not sure I can do ‘chipper’ at the moment. Woo Hoo is a past memory. I’m literally floored physically and mentally.

[whisperit]

Not much 'chipper' going on here either, and Woo Hoo left the building some years ago. Ill-judged jocularity is the best I can do:

1. Gandhi was of course a great hero. But he was also rather frail due to his constant fasting. Because he always went barefoot, he sported some rather triumphant callouses. Also, his poor diet led to some heinous breath. He was a super-calloused fragile mystic hexed with halitosis.

2. My wife left me because of my fetish for pasta. I'm feeling cannelloni right now.

3. I went to the doctors with hearing problems.

He said "Can you describe the symptoms?"

I said "Homer's a fat bloke and Marge has blue hair"

Now *that's* suffering.

I'm here all week, folks. And the week after that, and the one after that....

Hope things improve, MsAndyIvy

Symptoms one is my fave! Though I have been laughing at the late Ken Dodd too 😮

God knows how people go on for years I’m only at the 4 month stage. Though have been ill on and off since age of 15 really.

yes, he was kinda irresistible.

On the other one, I've no wisdom. Just one day at a time innit. x

Snap! More boo-hoo than woo-hoo here right now.

People dumping their emotional baggage on me has left me drained, pained and predictably in a flare that started at 4am and has got progressively worse. Pain has been unbearable.

I know the person didnt mean any harm but I am learning the really tough (and selfish) lesson that I have to come first because if I don't and get stressed my adrenals dont do what they are supposed to and I land up crippled in pain. Like today.

We're all vulnerable to our own bodies attacking us, thats something we have to deal with 24/7. Its also something that other people can't even imagine. I'm hoping that we can all be kinder to ourselves and accept ourselves for who we are. And if we need a boo-hoo day then so be it. Getting a boo-hoo day out of our system might bring on a woo-hoo day.

Very true HT x

[MsAndyIvy in reply to happytulip]

Totally agree!

I’m harrumphing again. Just been to Drs and she said... wait for it...

‘Are you sure it’s not all in your head?’

Followed by...

‘Here’s a leaflet about talking therapies’

Deffo a Boo Hoo day!

[happytulip in reply to MsAndyIvy]

If she said that to me I'd day "yes, I'm sure its not just in my head. Its in my neck, chest, elbows, wrists, knees and ankles as well!"

[MsAndyIvy in reply to happytulip]

I actually boo-hooed.

[happytulip in reply to MsAndyIvy]

Bless you. Having a good boo-hoo can make you feel better by getting it out of your system. But I am so sorry that you feel so rubbish.

Can you see another GP and see if they are more helpful?

I can't top whisperit's response!
