Have had a truly awful week. If I listed the stuff I've had to deal with, you would think I was a troll, seriously couldn't make it up! Feel like my head is going to implode, can't see an end to it all, most of it is out off my control, but is impacting on my life and my familys. There really isn't anything anyone can do to help, and from that point of view, this is a pretty pointless post. I'm trying so hard to get a grip and get on with it, but it's sodding hard going!
Thanks for letting me vent! :(
 
Thank you KSR, but to be honest, I don't think I can talk about it all at the moment, still trying to get my head round what's going on. Perhaps later? X
 
Sometimes you just have to give vent somewhere if you don't your head will explode so rant away.

I am just really tired so in the hope it will make you smile - i got in wet and smelly at lunchtime. Peeled my clothes off in the kitchen and put them in washing machine. Scooped up the correct amount of washing powder, opened the drawer and chucked it in. Unfortunately the drawer I opened has tea towels in it and it has been next to the soap drawer of the washing machine for over 20 years without any mishaps duh.

Anyway have a good rant I have recently come out of a hell of a pit of despair so know how it feels.
 
Thank you guys, I really do just need to get a grip, but things have been so awful this week I can't see an end to it. I'm usually quite strong and just get on, but every so often you just get that feeling that you're slipping under, if you know what I mean. Your kind comments made me smile, and yes, the tea towel thing was funny! X

Thank you, that's the problem though, I don't think it's going to get better for some time, just keeps getting worse! I know at some point it will resolve, just wish I had a timescale! I hate feeling like a moaning Minnie, I just need to get my positive head on :)
 
Sending you a big fat hug! KSR is a brilliant listener btw, I moan to her quite a lot! I hope you can settle your head a bit, its horrible when things wibble about about randomly - termoil is easier to deal with when you have a timeframe somehow! xx
 
Having had to go to the docs recently for losing the plot with work stress I can fully sympathise with you. Honestly time passing can help, try not to dwell on whatever is bothering you, much easier said than done. But worrying and overthinking things can't ever help.

Try and keep your chin up, sending you some hugs only if they don't make you cry!! But if they do, there is nothing wrong with having a good greet if thats what you need :)

Have done my fair share of greeting this week, thanks for the hugs, they always make me greet anyway! It's nice just to say how bad I feel and not be judged x
 
Sending you sympathetic vibes. I have had a very stressful 12 months and got right to the end of my tether and in desperation listened to a pail mckenna stress hypnosis cd. It didn't take the problems away but it did help me to relax and clear the *rap out of my head so i could think straight, get some sleep, and put things in perspective so i could cope much better. I can highly recommend anyone giving it a go. In anycase hangies on in there - give yourself permission for a meltdown now and then and accept any help and support you are offered.
 
Nobody can be positive all the time, sometimes if you feel miserable you just got to give yourself the space to be miserable. If its a person that's upset you, go write them a letter, don't hold back or be nice and polite, keep it for a day or two then burn it.
 
TBH it's been a pretty stressful few years, but manageable if you know what I mean. I normally manage by just having a wee blowout and losing the place for half an hour. Not pretty, but it usually works! However, this week has been the stuff of nightmares, and although I can't say much on here, suffice to say its beyond awful. Thanks again for all the kind messages, it really helps to know that people care enough about someone they don't know in RL to take the time to listen. I will get there, as will my family, great believer in what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Just this week is trying its best to kill me.:rolleyes:
 
So sorry to hear you're having such a rough time.:(

Can't really offer any advice, but I do hope that things begin to take a turn for the better, sooner rather than later.

Keeping you in my thoughts. (((((Hugs)))))

Sorry to hear you're having a bad time, I hope you're feeling better soon. And I second ksr's offer to pm if it helps you at all, even if its just to f & blind!
 
Sorry to hear you're having such a crap time! I don't think the last 12 months have been particularly kind to many people :( I hope things start to change soon x

Again, another stranger here if you want to PM I don't mind at all (even if its only to garble!)

I have tried 3 times to reply to your PM, the first two times it crashed and I had to start again..

Third time lucky, I hope I didn't lose any of the content by redoing over and over..

Speak soon and stay strong

x
 
Ta.. Got the PM!! I'll send you another proper reply tomorrow when I'm back on my laptop..

Got your back, as much as I can x
 
Can I just say thank you all so much for your support, I feel so much better already. Just knowing people care and don't judge is wonderful. I am by nature quite cynical, and this has really made me realise that there are some wonderful kind people about. Xx
 
I really hope your ok. Echo what someone else said the last 12months have been un kind to many me included unfortunately.
If you want to chat about it or even something else just to get ur mind off everything feel free to PM me x

Don't know you either but I do know what it's like when everything goes bottoms up and you can't see a way through. Things do have a way of sorting themselves out ..honest. Big hug. :)
 
Well, I slept quite well last night. Think getting it off my chest did a world of good. Special thanks for the PM's, and the offers of support. Am going to try to chill today, and intend to be back in attack mode tomorrow.:) things won't be sorted for some time, and I may still have my moments, but I won't wait till I feel so bad again, cos I know there are good people here who will listen. To everyone who has told me their own stories, I am here for you all as well. X
