Crikey I didn't realise so many people would reply to me. First of all let me say thanks and I will endeavour to reply to each of you in this post...
@catherinecherub - I read with interest the article about protein and to be honest I have made excuses for not wanting to eat it, also the other things...the truth is I have just gone off food, I just eat what I know I can stomach. And comfort myself for feeling so down all the time. I live next door to Morrisons so getting some shopping is not a problem, except I can't carry much home. Is why I buy bread, crumpets etc, they are all lightweight.
@Sable_Jan - I feel unworthy of ringing the Samaritans, those people are not paid for what they do and I would hate to be on the phone to one of the operators "chatting away" when maybe that one could stop another suicide. I will not commit suicide but I don't want to be here. I am not allowed pets in my flat and I already have a cat to look after, hence why I wouldn't kill myself. I owe it to Pixie to be here for her. She is my life. It is stressful having her here when the Landlord comes to do his quarterly inspection.
@Fallgal - I couldn't possibly let people know what I do eat, it's terribly embarrassing and people would assume I am trying to kill myself with sugar. I used to have all those interests but now I find all I do is sit and stare into space mostly. The tv is on in this place permanently but it's only for company really.
@donnellysdogs - I am 48 and feel a bit young to be joining over 50's groups. Most people over 50 I know are still working so I'm guessing the U3A is probably a little old for me. Apologies if that offends.
@Robinredbreast - I will have a look at the Diabetes Burnout thread, it sounds just how I feel except I have LIFE BURNOUT I think. Most days I achieve absolutely nothing - not even getting dressed. It's all I can do to get out of bed and move to the sofa! Today I am still feeling the same except for being overwhelmed at the responses my post triggered.
@Indy 51 - No I haven't heard of that, but thanks I shall look it up.
@Natalie1974 - I shall look up that book.
I want to thank everyone who has contributed to this thread and to let you all know I am still here and looking forward to looking up loads of stuff. The size of this forum overwhelms me and I am scared I might miss something lol but hopefully I will be in touch with you all again soon.
Best wishes,
