    Quiet day to say the least, didn’t wake up until nearly 11. Not been sleeping as much the past week, even taking antidepressants hasn’t helped the old insomnia. Just resting up but contemplating how much stuff I’ve got to do, washing, full flat clean and two planters to wallop and plant up. Then chuck in gp appointment, fluovid jabs and maybe a trip to the cinema. I’ve just buried my old swede in the sand since late September and let things get on top of me again.

    Sorry you're feeling so down @Catherine21. Grief never runs in a straight line does it, it's horrible. You can get triggered off by all sorts of things and it's no wonder you're not feeling good after what's happened with the psychologist. Hope things start feeling easier for you soon 💛

    Sounds like a busy week ahead @Zippy1983. What are you planning to see at the cinema if you get round to it?

    I hate it when a nap robs you of your night time sleep @Schildpad. Hope you can have a better night tonight and wake up feeling more rested.

    I've popped you a message @Catherine21 💜

    Just as a reminder for everyone, one of the big pillars of our our House Rules is being supportive to others. Please take a moment before posting to think about whether your post might be upsetting to someone who's going through a hard time.

    I am sorry for your pain, Catherine. We haven't met yet on this forum, I am thinking, but it can indeed be difficult when people seemingly turn towards joy and repress the sorrow. However, life is both, ain't it? Could be an interesting topic to pursue, if there wasn't so much shame and such around difficult subjects. What is it that things often need to look Instagrammable?

    Hang in there.

    Please dont delete your account Catherine. You have helped me so much in the short space of time ive been on here simply by being your genuine, honest sincere self! Your kindness, strength and courageous spirit is needed. Please don't let 1 or 2 insensitive responses be the reason for deleting your account 😻

    Still I Rise…By Maya AngelouYou may write me down in history
    With your bitter, twisted lies,
    You may trod me in the very dirt
    But still, like dust, I'll rise.

    Does my sassiness upset you?
    Why are you beset with gloom?
    ’Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
    Pumping in my living room.

    Just like moons and like suns,
    With the certainty of tides,
    Just like hopes springing high,
    Still I'll rise.

    Did you want to see me broken?
    Bowed head and lowered eyes?
    Shoulders falling down like teardrops,
    Weakened by my soulful cries?

    Does my haughtiness offend you?
    Don't you take it awful hard
    ’Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines
    Diggin’ in my own backyard.

    You may shoot me with your words,
    You may cut me with your eyes,
    You may kill me with your hatefulness,
    But still, like air, I’ll rise.

    Does my sexiness upset you?
    Does it come as a surprise
    That I dance like I've got diamonds
    At the meeting of my thighs?

    Out of the huts of history’s shame
    I rise
    Up from a past that’s rooted in pain
    I rise
    I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,
    Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.

    Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
    I rise
    Into a daybreak that’s wondrously clear
    I rise
    Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
    I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
    I rise
    I rise
    I rise.

    Catherine this forum tell us that is the world is not as nice but there is always hope.... I have bad days and sometimes good days but I would never pretend is a good day If is bad. People are in a terrible state and other not so much. The forum is about accepting things are bad but will not be forever. And since there are people worse than us. It does bring hope that things could be worse and also could be better. I would not delete the account. This forum is helping me .... Encourage me to carry on in very bleak times.

    Must admit as the days gone on my mood has soured more and more. I know I’ve got a gp appointment for my gastric system on Wednesday, but in all honesty I don’t want to leave the flat, same with the cinema on Saturday. I keep questioning what’s wrong with me, what’s my worth and in all honesty the whole purpose of breathing. I don’t call the flat home, more like a prison! The last true home I had was with my ex wife where I had a life, now I’ve just got nothing. Just have nothing in my life or anything to keep me going, each day I wake up I I’m always disappointed. I’m not talking about a certain thing that would trigger alarms. I just wouldn’t act on anything, I’d just let nature take its cause over the coming years.

    I’ve sent an email to my GP surgery cancelling my appointment on Wednesday, couldn’t care less about my physical or mental health. Even though I need to have flu and Covid jabs, I think they can go by the wayside. Cinema wise not a good idea to go, knowing me I’d fall asleep like I’ve done in the past. I’m going to cancel the meeting with the area coordinator, I did say I wanted to work on targets to help me live again and frankly there isn’t any point in doing so. Gonna just run myself into the ground further and further, going to do the bare minimum to get through each day.

    I really hope you don't go @Catherine21 😔. Thankfully, there are far more people on here that are genuinely supportive and show empathy (and remember you are one who does and helps others too!) than those who do not. Those who do not may, in time, learn 🫠😊; who knows, one can always hope 😉😊. You've every right to express how you're feeling - good or bad - the same as anyone else has. With hugs to you xx

    Is it bad that I’ve decided to give up all fighting, decided to accept things as they are and just don’t care about myself or what happens to me. Gonna start withdrawing meds over time, just don’t see the point in taking a placebo every night. Gonna just cut them off as of tomorrow and chuck them in the bin. I’m a horrible person, failure to family, so called friends and those that I’ve lost. Just gonna disappear and become like one of those people forget lives in the flat above. All that check on your neighbours doesn’t apply to me.
