Just need to ring the council tax up tomorrow morning now to see if my names been changed over 🤞

I’m just going to curl up in the corner like a cat and sleep the rest of the day.

I was going to water the plants, but I’ll do it in the morning. 🪏🪴💦🥃

I don’t think I’ll sleep tonight, now on edge and have a million things running through my head like The Four Horsemen of The Apocalypse. I’m absolutely stupid with money and can’t save for toffee so how am I gonna get my flat decorated and afford to get a job. Let alone be able to have a dog in the place, think all of that will have to go in the bin like the holiday.

I don't really agree*, it goes without saying, though I kinda get the impression you don't either deep down?? Like if you really thought it was true you'd just disappear without a trace but you're posting on here so you must realise there are people who think you're worth listening to

It's weird as I get the same about my self worth but I don't like hearing someone else say stuff I'd happily say about myself 😆 my support worker told me to not say things about myself that I'd not say to a friend, that kind of helped me think about stuff a bit differently

*actually I agree with a lot like the mental system and the politics but not the overall conclusion about yourself

@Grumpy1314 I feel quite teary reading your post, I recognise myself in your feelings of despair, alot of us on this site, will have likely felt like you at some point in time, especially when you have a mental health diagnosis.

Im sure you are not un lovable. I read your posts on hear. Yesterday you talked about your passion for war and history memorabilia. I didn't post, as it isn't anything I'd understand much about. But it was nice to read your posts and see a shared passion with another person on here.

I think we all have up and down days and feel really down at times. You have been through some very hard times. Give yourself time to heal and do what you can, when you can.

You have shared about your plants and getting your flat sorted out, small steps but some positive ones.

@66Mustang & @WhatThe i don't think any one, was meaning to be insensitive. We are a bunch of people who all have different diagnosis's, challenges and hardships. We just need to try and understand that we all have different ways of saying things. I think the fact we are reading each other's post's shows we care.

P.s I loved the cat picture. Your advice for bills was a good share too.

Im sure i made my bed, before she sneaked in.

I did post a comment back, but then it got sent off for assessment 🤔

Thank you all for your kind words. I know where I’ve gone wrong this week, I’ve run before I can shuffle.

Heading into town to go to the post office, then to the bank and job centre. Then the day after spend most of the day making phone calls just made my inner chimp escape and have a scrap with my mental and physical health.

Had a word with myself and told Hadrian to get back in his cage and stop being defensive!

been out and done a bit of stress management separating the whisky barrel planters.

As you can see I’ve got a little patio to sit on and personalise.

I still need another Rose Bush, a few Poppies, Tulips and Winter flowering Perennials alongside some sealant for the barrels and coconut liner as well. I’m going to put slate chipping’s on top which will hopefully will help with weed control.

Going to be like Pa Clampet and be sat on a Rocking Chair out there which will do me good. Just need a suitable hound to sit beside me.

Going to try and strike a balance with the patio area and have plants that flower in all four seasons.

I must admit, it’s got the old Gardener in me that’s been buried since 2012 coming back out. It will be therapeutic for me to make the space my own, if I can’t decorate outside, at least I can do the outside.

Good morning all

My hands are so dry

II suffer from severe dry skin

Yes I have steroid creams

Fingers bubble like blisters and split open and crack and bleed

Very painful atm

@Grumpy1314

I'm glad to see you on here

Sorry I can't write much as I'm struggling now

I don't want to make a fuss or make @WhatThe feel bad but just want to be honest as that's the best way to get true support from people… but it's knocked my (I realise very delicate) self-worth reading that I was insensitive for saying that you are worth listening to

I'm really sorry for coming across like a horrible person but I don't understand how I was saying something bad

All I know is I was saying it because I wanted you to know you're a worthy person and if anyone thought I was horrible I guess I can't do anything about that, as someone who's going through similar I don't like writing generic posts, I want to write honest stuff to actually help
