Went to see GP this morning about continuing problems re: mental health issues. She was understanding but can do nothing. She has tried to get someone at Gorwelion to sit up and take notice but they are ademant my problems are not 'real' mental illness simply because my life is so crap because of my body being knackered and anyone would be having ( Read more... )

I hope it won't go the same way as the West Pier in Brighton *struggles to climb on soapbox but decides to save friends pages everywhere instead*

Needless to say I am unimpressed by how it has ended up. 

There are times when I despair of this country's government I really do. So we now have this excellent idea of how everyone claiming benefits does so because they have a choice about working, all aside from those classed as 'severely disabled' - and I note there is no quantifier for that.

As someone who has over the past year had no choice but to ( Read more... )

Now I have nothing against the Scots but when I saw this article on the main BBC News about witchraft being used on cuddly cows I was less than impressed http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/highlands_and_islands/7509857.stm BUT it would appear in fact to be nothing like it reading the article - baaaad BBC for implying evil was being done to the ( Read more... )

So an entire year has passed since my friend Sarah killed herself. God I miss you so much and regret so much never having told you or frankly even realised how much you meant to me. I'm sorry I let you down.

In other news, the DWP should really stop deciding what constitutes a problem when working. six conditions, only one recorded cos, naturally ( Read more... )

... just because somewhere online is a support group that doesn't mean it is friendly. Writing about highly personal stuff can be used as a reason to attack as well as support.

*feels stupid*

Went on retreat last week. On the whole I found it quite interesting. I did have a couple of problems. Dislocated my shoulder and everyone had a go at me for not going to hospital about it. Was staying with someone who was currently attending AA. I ended up telling her a lot of what is going on, which I daren't publish here and much to my surprise ( Read more... )

Tommorow I'm going to the pain clinic. Am rather nervous about it. The journey will take ages cos I'm not able to cope with the entire journey at once, it is likely at least one will be in the company of school kids - oh the joy. I'm not expecting anything from it. I'm going because it offers me a chance for pain management, and God knows some ( Read more... )

Main news is my cousin committed suicide at the weekend. I should be sad about it as he was one person I was close to but I'm not. In fact the comments I made have resulted in me not being invited to his funeral or even being spoken to by most of my family (not necessarily a bad thing that!). I should be upset. I am not. Not at all.

One less member ( Read more... )

Specialist has discharged me. Going made my condition worse, especially my pre-syncope and pain from RSD/EDS and tonight I nearly burnt my kitchen down.

Words and emotions elude me totally. Despite thinking I was prepared for this I wasn't. Some part of me thought he would fight my corner for me and help me.
