@Grumpy1314 I am sorry you feel so down today. I hope you will feel a bit later. I know it is a struggle to keep going but I feel better times will come. But yes. I feel worse in the afternoon once I am back at home. Future is bleak but I try not to think about it.. .

I can honestly say, my brain never switches off and is always thinking of everything. I’m even paying for a non attendance cremation service. Just in preparation for the future, I live alone with no family or friends.

@Grumpy1314 it is always good to attend to places. I do at least I see people and once finish I am alone again but doing this bits and pieces help me to feel useful but it is hard as sometimes I don't want to leave my bed. There should be a community centre closed from where you live.. it is not easy.. but when my mind is just doing something I don't think about my problems.. it helps a bit . I hope you will feel a bit better if not today maybe tomorrow. In the community centres there are activities etc. I mean an excuse to leave home... Even sit down in a cafe and watch people helps me. I am on my own as well.. I enjoy my solitude sometimes. Getting old also made me grumpier. I use to.enjoy people. Now it gets harder to interact with them. But I try.. I want my old self back. Hopefully one day. It will be a bit different but if I could get some of my health issues better.....

Sadly I wouldn’t be able to attend Community Centres or Group Activities. For over 30 years I’ve felt uncomfortable in groups and with the way my mind has always been, I’ve always said the wrong things which isn’t good. I’m always better in a one to one setting, I’ve even told the Mental Health Team and the Wellbeing Team that and said I’ve got social services reports that will show it. I don’t even have confidence to go further than my GP Surgery to have a Coffee or a fresh piercing in town. What’s frustrating is that I’m one of many many thousands who have fallen through the cracks in a failed system. I was in a Children’s Psychiatric Unit between 6-8 years old.
in Manchester. I lived there and went to school there. I was saying to the councillor the other day I’ve got through a lot in 40 years but the last 21 months have truly tested me, I said the fact I moved into my own place at 41 and 11 months later I’m still not only in it but keeping on top of bills and still breathing is testament to how strong a fighter I am or how stubborn I am as well.

I’ve just seen the footage on You Tube, she looks so frail, I honestly hand on heart have a sad feeling she will pass away this year from a broken heart. Kelly looked frail, Aimee looked frail as did Ozzys other kids and Sisters. I hope that Blackburn build a statue of the great man in his honour.

Ive had ADHD, Autism, Depression, Anxiety and Depression for over 30 years. I was diagnosed with BPD in 2023 and it floored me, part of the diagnosis was because of the screwed up childhood I had. I’m just glad that I haven’t seen or spoke to my family coming up to ten years. My parents were always saying - You Can’t Do That, You Can’t Do This etc because of the conditions I had, my ex wife took the weaponising a step further by saying “You Don’t Want To Get Better!” I’m just glad I live alone now and over time I’ll get the flat decorated, get a security system fitted, fly out to Cape Verde and apply for an Assistance Dog. I have though of applying for Channel 4’s The Dog House, but I wouldn’t have a clue where to start training up an Assistance Dog and all the tasks and rolls he or she could do for me.

@grumpy1314 i am sorry… Yes it is harder for some people to be in groups.. my anxiety at times does not let me. and i try not to speak a lot .. it is very hard. i am taking it slowly even thought i should not. i want my old life back. when i was working etc.. i do not want to think about the system. i feel like rushing to it but if i rush i will crash. so i guess i i will need to do it step by step. mental health team only works on medication. and in my case medication is not working. anyway i hope you can feel a bit better tomorrow.. but i understand. it is a torture every day. i always wait until bed. and hope for a better day tomorrow. it is harder and harder to feel safe in the jungle out there. but i still feel there is some hope. that is what keeps me alive. the hope things will improve.

my mood and mental state fluctuates a lot. i am feeling rather hopeless right now. i want to get better but i do not feel it will happen. i am very down because even though i blame my last job for my back problems etc…. and i could not do that job ever again. i am too traumatized to get back to work. and my health is downhill. soon time to go to bed.. but dreading for another day tomorrow…. the place i go on thursdays is on holidays so i will probably try to go out but i dont like public transport. i will try to go when it is not too busy and back as well before rush hour .. i am meaning to spend a few hours outside. all is if it is a good weather i mean no rain is enough for me. i will see.. but maybe tomorrow i will feel awful.. i will see.. i hope i will be able to sleep. but i was ok a couple of hours ago and now i feel rather down.. i hate this feeling that fluctuates so much. anyway. maybe a couple of films will cheer me up a bit…. good evening, good night and til tomorrow.. i think is enough with technology for today….

@Schildpad it's very difficult im struggling myself again, my son who has Autism and Neurodivergent's has started an apprenticeship, which I'm really pleased about. But I thought I'd done all the right thing's informing his UC lcw talking to his job centre advisor but now ive found out I need to inform my UC as well. So im panicking again about benefits.
Im like you wanting to watch something on tv to get some calm. Im up until 3 4am every night then up at 8.30am for my carer. I watch American seasons, ive watched all the vampire diaries and the origins. Im currently watching Chicago fire, med and pd as well as the 911 seasons and reacher. I can't switch my brain off otherwise.

@Elvisdog i would not worry too much about it. you only have to do and inform them but you can not control the outcome so i hope it will be ok. i am scared about everything as well.. if you report a change something might happen but maybe not much….
i tend to go to bed before 12 … and up before 7…… i sleep so so .. but i feel going to bed at 4 to wake up at 8.30 seems too little sleep…. it wil be ok with the benefits…

@Schildpad thank you. It's like you say it's not enough sleep, im being tested for ADHD, only because my family think I have it, im not sure, I can't switch off or get myself in a calm mood because everything changes with the flip of a coin. I think im ok and managing then I don't know if I'm coming or going, on top of dealing with the diagnoses I have, we have to continue with trying to deal with all the other upheaval happening. Oh well time for me to watch Chicago med. I hope you get a good night rest.

Tonight I’ve hung out the White Flag! Just given up fighting and chucked in the towel now. After being let go by counselling due to my BPD, then given wrong advice by Mental Health Team about a Service that hasn’t been around for two years, just means I’m back at Square One again. I honestly don’t have a care in the world about myself anymore, I’ll just keep taking the tablets each day, alongside all the other concoctions I have to take daily for the other conditions I have to fight each day. I’ve just got no fight in me anymore. I’m just going to stay hidden inside my front door away from the world. Just what is the point in fighting, challenging, speaking up or wanting help from an utterly failed system that means that those of us that don’t fit into the high risk category just fall through the cracks and into the sewer! I’ve just got will to live, as I’m like my Grandparents who were the parents of the so called woman who gave birth to me alongside the perpetual failure she married in 78! Both of my grandparents I take after died at 55 & 57 respectively so that’s good news for me. Thankfully my wooden box is booked and ready for gas mark 11!

Oh it was so sad seeing her yesterday wasn't it. My heart was breaking for her. They were definitely soul mates and she must be so lost without him. 😔💔
