    I too am estranged from my brother. He showed up unexpectedly a few weeks ago, and i didn't open the door. I didn't enjoy the experience, but felt it would stop any further contact. (It's easily a couple of years since I saw him)

    I'm really sorry to hear that Ranald. It's a source of great angst to me and sadness and I'm still working on accepting that after we last spoke on 7th January 2024. I would never make contact but if either of them turned up here it would be the happiest day to me. They won't (ones even moved home/I don't know to where so she obviously doesn't want contact πŸ˜ͺ). Some things can't be fixed I've come to realise. If their life is better without me in it then so be it. No judgement/criticism from my dogs who are my world so I've a lot to be grateful for too!

    Morning all, quiet morning at the mill. Took my Anti Depressants late last night and they didn’t kick in until 3 this morning, so I ended up sleeping on the sofa sat up until six. Just going to have a day relaxing and may sort some more books out later today.

    I spotted an interesting documentary that I thought people may like -

    really genuine man who wears his heart on his sleeve, does a lot for charity and his local community. πŸ’š


    I would much rather watch that, than the documentary earlier the same week.

    Sorry to hear you're having a rough time at the moment @Catherine21. Have you been chatting with your doctor about your medication? Maybe there's another type you could try. Hope things settle down a little soon.

    Hi Rosie, just been really unsettled the since last week due to the two meetings I had and the same outcome I get all the time. Just going to rest up today, heads rotating at warp speed and I’m exhausted.

    That sounds really tough @Grumpy1314. Rest sounds like a good idea, take care of yourself as much as possible ☺️

    I think he's had enough of me I feel such despair and so vunerable I've had ozzy Osborne song on loop in my head constantly constant noise spoke to psych she made me so much worse she's opened everything I'm paranoid think bad things going to happen all the time I wish I could just be like people who get up go to work socialise it's impossible for me I've tried everything over the years it's impossible for Mr to go out most days it's ingrained sorry going on I wish I didn't feel so much it's my daughter dogs keep me going but it is really hard to see any hope or future

    That all sounds really overwhelming @Catherine21. It's good you've got your dogs and your lovely daughter keeping you going when things get tough. While we might not all have the same conditions I think a lot of us will be able to empathise with feeling grief for a life we wish we could live. It can be really exhausting living with chronic issues and hardly ever getting a break from things. Take care of yourself as much as you can πŸ’›

    I did this because I don't want to listen to any more conspiracy theories and gobbledygook in general. He and his family live 500 miles away, so this makes it easier.

    He was obviously up visiting our parents, and came to my door on his last day up here. I've not heard from them since it happened, and I imagine they are sulking. It seems decades of experience of me hasn't made them think of changing tactics!

    I don't know what they think, but i imagine they can't see past his degree. He must be right about 'chem trails", covid, moon landings, you name it! I don't want to hear all that gibberish, and certainly not in my own house.

    I get it, I'm probably one of the least tolerant when it comes to conspiracy theories and make no apologies whatsoever for that! Heard them all, incl the 9/11, Holocaust etc etc. Some particularly vile views too so at least I don't have to listen to them. At least on here can 'scroll on' although not so much of that now! 😊 Thank goodness we live in a house and can lock the door eh ?!
