Hello again u-f. I am so glad you are more positive this time. Having a dog is a wonderful idea. I used o have 8 dogs all at the same time and they kept you busy. When they came into my rather small living room (12 ft x 8.5 ft) there wasn't much room for me. Now I have 6 cats and only 2 dogs and they all want my attention. I also have 350 children (not my own) to feed, clothe and educate and they keep me busy. The reason I am telling you all this is to impress upon you the necessity of keeping your mind off your own medical problems by helping others (dogs, cats, people) through their problems.STILL HERE ! firstly,I am sorry to all the people that my pretty selfish words have given concern to,thank you to all of you who have taken the time to say something.thank you. I have been in bed for the most part,hiding from everything, as i have done for a huge part of my life,Have never been as sociable as i am in my mind !, not used to verbalising or being able to get things out. am a very irresponsible person,should never have taken on the responsibility of a dog, but did in a moment of mania, but have put on him all of my fears,worries,anger,bad eating habits and even the worst of my manic depression bouts which he mimics and suffers to the point of me somehow snapping out and getting back on course `short term` for him ! he is a bullmastiff , now 7 1/2 years old and 62 kilos in pain, with medicated joint problems he is with me 24/7,due to separation anxiety stress,which he like me internalises. for him giving rise to ear,eye,and throat issues .I cope by going out with `kujo`late at night, have managed to keep appointments so far, for psyc,drs, scans,tests etc etc,often by staying up all night and getting to the places many hours early in my homemade campervan. the `end` never laves me and is always the only answer not only for me, but for all those that i continue to affect !,until another sleep comes
I have lots of issues like you but I've not been diagnosed long.we need to connect me and you.ive been where you are now but I made it.i thought my life was over when I got diagnosed,I've got most of my help from this forum,it saved my life.i only eat one egg per day at the moment but today I ate my egg with2 mushrooms then to my surprise I ate some roast chicken around teatime.i have bulimia and make myself sick but with the support from this forum today is the third day I've not been sick.such a humongous thing for me.in fact I'm on the brink of day 4 !! Now if I can do it I'm sure you can.can we do it together? I've not been on the forum long but feel free to pm me anytime.good luck and try good thoughts.somewhere on here I'd decided to throw in towel,I'd had enough of trying and getting nowhere but I'm stubborn and determined not to let this beat me.i send you hugs (I'm 58 by the way) you can do this if I can x x x
Wow! Well done on your nearly 4 days, Jo. That's incredible progress. Do you feel well on it?
Good morningand hope this morning is warmer for you than it is for me as its cold here in North Yorkshire. I've been awake most of the night as I didn't dare go to sleep as I was a little scared(scrap that I was terrified!)as my last result last night was far too high and I don't know how I'm expected to feel.we all have demons of our own but each are different.please feel free to contact me for a chat because I too have been where you are, you're not on your own, you have me and I'm here to talk to you whenever you need. Here's to a good day for both of us. X x
