Hey guys- at school, but apparently able to access somewhat:)
NV- sounds like you are just angry(justifiably) at a situation that is far from good. It's always frustrating to know someone is making terrible mistakes that will affect their lives and damage their children's lives, yet have no real control or ability to get them to see what they are doing. I don't know what to say other than, try to be there for the kids if you can and do your best to imprint them some with your sense of responsibility and functional behavior. We have mroe affect than we know and what you do may help them be less damaged in the long run:)HUGS and all

Can't wait til school officially starts and I don't have to be in these classes and can use my room and my computer so I can be here more:)HUGS

Okay, so I don't really have alot to worry about compared to CaliforniaKaylee. I have relatively good physical health, just the emotional side is a bit tainted right now.
Hugs to CK.

hehe, you've got a need to vent you've got a need to vent NVG, feeling like getting close to it myself, but there's always people out there with other woe's, and it does make you feel a little selfish and demanding, although i imagine it would horrify people to think their woes made you feel that way about your woes (recheck to see if that makes any sense, i think it does, here's waiting for the litmus test...)

like they say 'you got your health? you'll be all right' ^^

sorry to hear you're having such a tough time CK, can't be easy to deal with, just wanted to offer some comforting, but you do seem to be coping with it all so admirably, so all kudos to you for that ^^

Venting can really help you deal:) I say vent away, just because your problems may not be a severe doesn't mean you should vent :)
No bad feelings, just vent and release:)

NV - your sister sounds just like mine. And, if that's so, I'll bet she's sitting down in Mexico bemoaning the fates and the eighty people she can blame it on rather than herself. I totally know where you're at - it is sooo frustrating!

I try to focus on being supportive of her son. That at least bears some fruit.

CK - man that sucks! Don't be shy at yelling and screaming at the doctors! This is something I've learned in my older age - they'll only treat you if you give them a kick in the butt. Or two. Really. I went through a patient advocate once.

Well, come on. Get to it!

I have to share my big news - oh yes, I've been wanting to catch up with the imponderables for a while, but the need to brag is what finally got me here... Guess who got some last weekend?

s'true, and good advice, not sure if it was aimed at me or NVG, but think i'm gonna take advantage of the excuse it offers and have a go anyway, 'cos it's getting me down >.<

firstly, i'm trying to find a new job, which is bloody difficult at the best of times, on top of that one of my flatmate's has dumped us all in it by moving out and taking another with her, which means the other two of us have a week to find new flats, plus the risk that we won't get our deposit's back (£500 in my case, £250 of which is money someone owe's me for their deposit) 'cos so little notice is given (big problem in finding somewhere new, means stumping up a months rent and a full deposit...) and to top it all off, i'm now a bona-fide diagnosed and medicated insomniac, haven't slept properly in a week and when i say my brain is mush, i'm not giving you anywhere near the full picture, spent nearly five minute's today trying to think of a word, and when it finally came to mind, it turned out to be the wrong one anyway >.< can't think in a straight line for more then 10 seconds and it really doesn't help with the flat-hunting or the job-hunting or the trying to renew my passport/get an European medical card/explain to my work that they made me ill and generally try to intereact with everyone like a normal human being...

but there i think i've taken advantage of your kind ear's enough, but it does feel good to get it out.

Ah, NV, I'm sorry you were right in that situation. Family can be the biggest gift in the world and the biggest curse...often at the same time. Like MSG said, love on those chillin. They need some stability and it sounds like your sister just isn't going to be able to provide it.

CK, I have to say you really are inspiring. You seem to be facing some huge obstacles in life, but you do so gracefully. My own current trials are far less and there have been times I just want to curl up in a ball in the corner....

Odds- oh sweety that's awful. MisterG is also an insomniac and it's terrible...There is a brand new medication that is non-narcotic and has no addictive properties. I will find out for you and PM you so that you can use it if it helps:)
Flat(apartment) hunting sucks it's almost as bad as househunting and that's a nightmare. Hang in there sweety big HUGS

Funny, my baby sister just called to tell me Sissy called. We just had a laugh about the eighty people and me "forcing" her on the bus to Mexico.

And good for you M4P. That is good news. May have to try that myself.

Yeesh Odds, I can relate. After the PTSD diagnosis I was on anti-depressants, muscle relaxers, and pain relivers. Dealt with nothing, awake for two days, asleep for two. Really F'd with everything. In my case I ditched the med.s for broken sleep, hypersensitivity to light and sound, tremors, and a short lived eating disorder. Felt like a detoxing crackhead, (and didn't look much better).
Have the doctors pointed out any possible problems.
Or have they just pawned drugs off on you because you don't "look" sick.
I hate Western medicine.
