It IS a bit cold today. I am not sure about the assessment but I don't think it went well. And they said they "only" do CBT. I know they do EMDR but I hint they will not offer it to me. They said they need to get back to my hospital. My gut feeling tells me I will be moving yet again like a ball.

anyway i am home now.. again in pain. the older i get the more pain i get . i wil stay at home until tomorrow. i hope i can go and do my stuff and back home later on. i feel if i am not alone i feel less depressed and at the same time i do not really want to see people.
i just feel like my assessment was pointless and they will not see me.. i hope i am getting all this wrong. but i am tired of fighting really, every day seems like a battle i have to deal with. hope you all have a nice afternoon and evening. weather is a bit better now but yes weather has changed… it gets darker earlier and it will feel like there is no daylight. pointless because at the same time i live with my blinds down all the time so i do not know.

i am considering a two wheel scooter but i am at the same time not sure as they are demonized by people for going too fast so i might have to stick with a manual one. i guess it will help me with my pain or maybe not. i am not sure. it needs to be something i can lift and something i can bring back home. . but with my pain not sure if it is better or worse than walking. i will want want with big wheels.. A bike it will be too risky to leave it outside and too heavy to bring it home. also the pain involved because o fthe posture… Maybe a dutch bike but they are heavy…. and also no room at home.. so a two wheel scooter will have to be.. but still it is a maybe as i am not sure. keep picturing situations about not letting me to go to places and those scooters can not be locked.. maybe some one will have one. as i said non electric.. i would not use it on the road as it is too dangerous.

Don't forget @Schildpad you need a full or provisional UK driving licence with category Q entitlement to ride a rental e-scooter in the UK, and to own or use a privately-owned e-scooter in public, as e-scooters are considered motor vehicles and must be insured and taxed, which requires a license.
Though you can get fairly decent basic 2 wheel scooters that fold up. Would that be more useful?

i am thinking about a big wheels 16 inch two wheel scooter non electric so manual.. i am looking but it has to have big wheels. and it can not be electric… small wheels will not move much. i doubt many of the people riding one will have a driving licence. i am meaning to use it on the pavement but as it is manual i can go slow. there are loads on the net. but choosing the right one it will take time.. also maybe amazon as i can have it delivered down the road and not needing to be at home. i keep looking. i am not sure also with my leg problem and back one if the having to move my leg or legs every time will be painful. i am just a bit not sure.. but walking it is becoming more and more painful.

My mum kept overwhelmed me and kept not asking for my consent to go into my personal stuff and that what make me so more frustrated with my mum and I get the point I just ended explosive into my mum and I don't think my mum respect me at all .

Sorry to hear that @Katiedimelow20 I'm guessing you've already spoken to her, and this seems like it's a regular issue for you. Would it be possible to use a mediator like your GP or a friend, so they can speak to your mum on your behalf to let her know how much this is all affecting you?

I take the poet, Philip Larkin's approach (Look it up).
Easier said than done these days, but how far have you looked into getting out?

@Katiedimelow20 this is a difficult situation. Your mother does that because she knows you do not like it. Not because she needs to. You show annoyance and she enjoys it. I had similar issue and only way was leaving home. No need to be drastic but you could do the very same. Check on her stuff. If she does not like it you just tell her. Or do not show any feeling and maybe she will stop doing it. Some parents they believe they owe you.. but yes you talk to your GP and maybe they can say something.. it makes no point to get angry wirh your mother because she will keep Doing it. Unfortunately we do not choose our family.. larkin was right. They try to makes us like themselves even when they are far from perfect.

I'm. In agony with my knee
Can barely walk
Climbing the stairs is, excruciating
So is getting on and off a seat
I can't even sit on a toilet seat
I've tried ice and paracetamol
Don't work

I can't really control my own life since my mum took over my health care and other stuff with a learning disabilities so I can't even move out since is Impossible. This not helpful. This just make me angry to

Ok matbe next time she needs to go to the GP for herself the GP could tell her. That is a very controlling behaviour.
