I'm sorry to hear that your back is hurting as well Helen. Mine isn't quite so bad this morning after having a couple of nights in my own bed. *hugs you*

*hands Imogen some pillows and a teddybear to help you stay safe in your corner* *hugs you*

Arwen I note your sarcasm but hope that all goes well. *hugs you*

*hugs everyone*

Yesterday was a really big day. I hope things settle down today. My housemate admitted that he loved me last night but also admitted that he's scared of love. We had a conversation lying on my bed holding hands. I told him that we should take things slowly and see how they turn out.

My physio told me that they pain in my arm is caused by the scar tissue on the inside of my shoulder and the nerves passing through it. She has cut down on the exercises I need to do and was really understanding. She keeps telling me that I'm strong (mentally) but right now I'm having trouble believing it.

Sorry to have made this such a long post. I hope things are going at least semi-okay for everyone.

*cries herself to sleep in her corner*

God, I have no real idea why and it's not making me any happier :crying:

Kahlia, glad your back is beginning to feel better. Hope your shoulder feels better soon too.

Arwen, hope babysitting wasn't too stressful honey.

Ally *massive massive cuddlees*

This pain hasn't shifted, it's driving me nuts because I can't get comfortable at all!!!

Had a bit of an argument/misunderstanding with one of my best friends today. Hate it when we row, because we rarely do. What an arse I was. Luckily we're okay now.

I just realised a few minutes ago, that Monday marked two years since my dad walked out. Shouldn't matter. But now I want to cry even more. Yet I still ****ing can't. Oh well. Life goes on hey? =/ My mental health assessment went really well though. (Can't remember if I already mentioned that or not)

*gently hugs Kahlia*
*hugs forever lost and then offers blanket for sleeping*
*hugs helen* glad your assessment went well! Hope everything else eases up soon.

I wish that I could talk, but I always censor everything i say. Sometimes i wish i could just tell everything.
*curls up and hides*

Babysitting my sister wasn't too bad. She threw an awful strop at one point, but it didn't last too long.

I'm babysitting my one-year-old twin cousins tomorrow. Feeling really anxious and paranoid that I'll do something wrong.

*hides in corner*

*hugs everyone*

Life is complicated but for the moment it's going okay. Just taking things slow and steady.

*curls up and hides*

In a way i'm scared about tomorow...

18... no longer a child...

*cuddles Laura*

Growing old is mandorty, but growing up is optional babe :) You'll still always be a kid etc within you :)

*hugs Helen* ~ Don't hide hon, we would miss you if you weren't here

*hugs Laura* ~ I have to second what Helen said - don't be afraid of the big 18 ... afterall it's just a number

I'm doing okay. Not brilliantly but okay. The hallucinations are still bad but I seem to be able to manage them.

*hugs everyone*

Halluicinations suck hun. *cuddles tight*

*hugs kahlia* i'm sorry your having hallucinations :-(
*hugs helen*

One of my best friends told me that me talking to him is "a lot of responsibility." A few minutes later he was like I didn't mean it like that... but... it's what he said. I lose people... I always lose people.

*wanders in and curls up in a corner*
don't mind me, I'm just hiding from the world for a while...

*hugs Helen, Laura and phoenixescape (sorry don't know your name)*

I hope you are all feeling a bit better.

I won't do a personal reply here I'll save it for my thread for anyone interested.

*hugs everyone*

*hugs everyone*

TsvTux has asked me to say hello to everyone for him.

My arm is still sending off pain messages but at least the physio cut down on the exercises and has given me some "nerve" exercises as the pain was being caused by the nerves going through the scar tissue.

I hope everyone is doing well or at least doing better than they have been doing.

*leaves big hugs for everyone*

*hugs Kahlia gently* Hope armn gets better soon :)

*curls up*

*hugs Helen* So do I

*hugs everyone*

*hugs* for anyone who needs it. how are you all? samxx

*hugs everyone*

How do you deal with a diagnosis of dissociative identity disorder? I can cope with Schizo Affective disorder but the diagnosis of DID just blew me away...
