    stay strong and keep fighting, tomorrow is a fresh day. I take each day a minute at a time, with any obstacles I’ve faced over the years, I take one box down and work on that and then move onto the next.

    Thank you. Now just watching telly. I hope for blue skies tomorrow... If so I will go out if not I might just stay at home. It is true it is better to go with the flow and worry when things happen other than keep worrying. It is hard to change but I have worried in the past and it did not happen. now worry for others in particular what rachel reeves is doing to people with properties etc… what an awful woman.

    It’s a very sad, disconcerting and lonely world we live in. The way Labour has gone after people this year has been truly shocking and gone against basic human rights.

    I was talking to a neighbour last week who is in his late 60s maybe early 70s, it was refreshing to hear him be so open, honest and supportive that he shared how he had been through mental health with his step son battling it. He could tell how anxious I was and not in a good place. I carry so much weight from my past and have to face it alone, I don’t know whether to look towards the past or the future at times. The lack of support, information and resources available for those battling both mental and physical conditions is severely lacking.

    we can not get our past back. but maybe we can do something for the future. but i am trying not to think about it. politicians in general do not care any more for their people …. and this party is really attacking people who are not rich. it is really unfair. you can not buy because of taxes you can not sell because of taxes… it is very hard. if i were rich i probably would not buy a property now. i have tried mental health and physical health resources and nothing worked. so right now i might have to start thinking about a more natural approach.. But future being sick is very bleak and scary. Better not to think too much about it and obviously the older we get the harder the chance to get better. But people do not understand the sick.. i still hope i will be able to get my health back. hopefully one day.

    Because of the failures in the system with lack of care I receive, I’ve kind of become a closed book. I have only been out for a handful of times since February, mainly for medical reasons and haven’t been into town since Feb. I keep myself safe inside my flat in my own little bubble, kind of shunning the world. I’ve close out all friends and closed down social media, the other week I kind of tried opening up again only to have a bunch panic attack and immediately shut everything down and put the wall back up.

    I’ve just been going through a folder I received last year upon signing for the tenancy for the flat. I’ve come across an asbestos report and this has piqued my interest as to whether my flat has asbestos in certain areas, which isn’t good for my breathing conditions.

    My marital home was a BISF (British Iron and Steel Federation) house, and it had a roof made of cement and asbestos sheets. It's not harmful to your health, as long as it is intact.

    Morning all, hope everyone is ok today.

    Had a bit of a late one due to the old inner chimp wanting to play with my mental and physical health. Slept on the sofa sat up for a few hours and now tucked up in bed.

    Good morning everyone

    @Grumpy1314 I hope you're good. Did I read yesterday you posted that you were into ground maintenance or horticulture? Where abouts did you used to work? My brother's in that sector and enjoys it but he says it's a job where you need a plan for when you're about 45 because it's a young person's job

    I am so sorry you feel so conflicted @Catherine21.

    My Aloysius (yorkie) had quite a lot of teeth renoved last year but he had halitosis so I knew all was not well (even though he was checked yearly). He did not let me ever touch his teeth without him biting me, hence removals but his problem was only last year at 7 years old. My insurers ended up covering it as he had an infection so c 600.00. Many get charged up to c 1200 so I was 'lucky' really.

    Natalie-Tiffany (shih tzu) had a lot of teeth removed last year - they were cracked/unknown reason, she'd not had toys etc that were hard. No halitosis/obvious discomfort. Again, insurers covered cost c 600.00. She was aged 7.5 years old.

    Both recovered well. Natalie-Tiffany was done on election day so I was staying up all night anyway but she/I was up all night for 3 nights coughing (her, not me) (? anesthetic tube/irritation) so was worrying but she then recovered well.

    I hope Fifi recovers well and uneventfully. They're such a worry; my other two need teeth doing but I'm in no rush/no discomfort/no halitosis or anything else obvious.

    The two that were done have tongue hanging out now but not causing them any problems at all with eating etc. Not as 'photogenic' but they/I, do not have an issue with that! They're comfortable so that's the biggest priority.

    Take good care today and my very best wishes to you Catherine xx

    Morning all. I don't feel rested even though I slept. But still I woke up like two times. I am not sure I will go out. I think I will stay at home.
