    @Katiedimelow20 its worrying that you don't have an advocate that you would want for yourself. Do you have a social worker? Anyone you can talk to alone? It's very hard it took me years to stand up to my parents, and it was by a letter to them, i gave a copy to my sister asking for her permission as it was about both of us. Also a copy to my gp and social worker. It ended up in heated words following a two year separation, i was so very scared, that's why i had to put it in writing. We finally reconciled and I'm in a better place with them now. Im not as open with my dad but tell my mum things past and future and accept their help when I need it. It's not something I would recommend to you or anyone else, that was my journey but i hope you know that there is help and hope out there.

    Morning all

    I have woken up exhausted again but I am going to go out for a while later as I will be stuck indoors for the next couple of days.

    I hope you all manage to have a good day.

    I've DM'ed you now Amberpearl. It might be worth you asking your GP to refer you to physio in the meantime. My area is a long wait for that, my appt is 3rd Oct/waited c 12 weeks.

    I've set up my 'cat repellent' machine near to where there's supposed to be 'A rat' ๐Ÿ™„. I think it's supposed to repel rodents too so I'll see but no movement in the soil close by since I set it up. Im still feeding the birds but making sure there's no spillage.

    I hope you are doing ok today @Catherine21 . I use the term 'ok' loosely - it will take time and, I'm sure, many, many up and down days. Just thinking of you anyway and sending love and hugs xx ps always feel to DM me at any time too.

    @Catherine21 I'm so sorry to hear that you also had a similar background with your childhood. Thank you for your very kind words, it means alot. when i lost my sister in 2008, I felt that I lost the only person who knew the whole truth of what we had endured. It's something that has bothered me with my own sons and Niece and Nephew , we were always fiercely protective of them, but our own mental health was difficult for them. Im happy to say that even through all of the challenges and there has been many, they are all doing well. You sound like you are doing very well too. I understand the very close relationship you had with fifi and your other pets, im exactly the same. My dog is 13yrs now and I'm already worried about him not being with me, he is my shadow follows me every where, my best friend. I really feel your loss, I hope that you get through the grief and to a place where you can remember the happier memories. We make the best of what we have.

    @Katiedimelow20 i hope you are feeling ok today. You have been so brave sharing your feelings with us. Don't give up, use all of the support you deserve to have. I have used charities such as The Samaritans to talk too, we also have a charity called Pal's, im not sure if it is nationwide? They can look into questions or concerns that we may have with our mental health support. I do hope you get some clarity with your own rights and needs. Thinking of you going through these struggles and hard times.
