Well when I'm not spacey, I ain't really fighting it. Dunno how to describe it. I only really have to concentrate on fighting it when I do feel spacey. Does that make any sense? :/

Hi everybody. Sorry I've been so quiet recently but I've been unable to type due to the shoulder surgery. I'm now allowed to move my arm a little bit and have been pushing the boundaries and learning what my shoulder can do. At this stage I cannot do anything that requires lifting my arm. On the good side next week on Monday I should get my cast off for good, of course depending on the results of the x-ray. Getting the x-ray is going to be a painful experience as it requires them to place my arm in several positions that will put my shoulder in positions it doesn't like. If I don't get my cast put back on I'm going to miss my glow-in-the-dark wrist.

I had a really bad day a little while back when I received from the police a letter and a fine for the car accident I had when I had a seizure while driving. For the first time in almost 11 months I felt like cutting. I very nearly did cut but somehow managed to get through with the help of my flatmates. We have decided that I should contest the fine through the court system because the accident was caused by a medical condition and I was not in control of my own body and therefore the accident was out of my control.

I'm sorry for writing so much about myself and not replying to everybody individually but know that I am thinking of you all and I read as much as I can. I hope that things improved to everybody.

*goes around to everybody in the ward, even those hiding in corners and in the the smoking corner and also in the denial tent, and gives them a nice warm hug and leaves behind hot chocolates for those in the cold climate and nice cold drinks for those suffering from heat issues.*

Well good news. I get to do the essay so I won't fail :D So I will be popping in but won't be posting much. I get till Monday to do it :D And it's great coz I'm seeing a friend on Thursday whos course kinda overlaps so I'm going to ask if I can borrow some books.

Kahlia don't be sorry about writing about yourself. Hope you can get the cast off :D and I hope its healing alright :) Well done for not cutting :D *cuddles* you've done so well :D Take care of yourself!

Kahlia1981 14-07-2009 05:39 AM

Katie - that's good news about the essay. I hope you do well. I also hope my arm is healing right ...

I've been camping with my horses for the past couple days, as a birthday gift to myself, and as a way to unwind from all the stresses at home and at work. Viejo and Charlie really enjoyed getting out of the paddock and I enjoyed just getting out and being with nothing but the two of them.

Been kind of on the manic side of happy, but pretty good and stable otherwise.

*MASSIVE HUGS to everyone, and positive energies as well*

That sounds like a lot of fun. Thanks for the hugs and positive energy, I really need both right now.

zowie 14-07-2009 01:00 PM

I will spend the day in the smoking shelter *nods* Care to join me Hayley?

This afternoon I'm having a BBQ with my dad and sister nomnomnom

MammaMia 14-07-2009 03:44 PM

Sorry I haven't been around much this past week, I've been so poorly. I came home yesterday, two days later than orginally planned but it gave me & Jade the opportunity to get out the house and do some of what was orginally planned (but not set in stone) when dicussing the trip anyway.

However, I've been crying pretty much nearly every waking moment since Friday afternoon, well evening. Poor Jade must be so sick of it, I know I am, it's beginning to send me in asthma/panic attacks now :S I almost got to the point of cutting last night (despite having not done it in nearly two weeks) just to shut myself up and sleep. Really really struggling to sleep at the moment, espically last night, but then I was trying to sleep at 10.30, something my body hasn't done in so long. But I am so exhausted. Although I was asleep around 12.30am and slept until nearly 11am, even if I woke couple of times during the night.

Still really poorly and very low. So fed up of it now. Doesn't help certain things either. Just shoot me? Or give me a new body until mine feels healthy again???? I haven't eaten a full dinner, let alone a proper one, since last Sunday (not two days ago, but the one before that). I miss it. I tried last night with garlic bread, pizza & potato waffles, barely ate it and lost my temper with mum.

I'm so ****ing frusrated to the point I'm crying...AGAIN!!!!

CrazyHayley 14-07-2009 04:52 PM

*hands Helen big box of tissues* Oh sweetie, its horrid when you feel so ill and can't stop crying. I know I wonder how I don't dehydrate from all the tears somehow. Wish I could wave magic wand for you to make you better, but instead you'll have to settle for a huggle *huggles Helen*

Kahlia - good news on the progress on your shoulder so far, was wondering where you'd gotten to! Thats so shitty the police sedning you a fine for something that was out of your control!! Its not like you thought "oh I'm gonna have a seizure in a lil bit, so I think I'll go out in my car and cause a crash" stupid stupid police fine system. I'm glad your flatmates were there to help you through the urges to cut, well done on overcoming them! *huggles*

*huggles Shadowseraph* glad you liked the group huggle. I didn't end up seeing family today as staying clear of the town they live in as Swine Flu has just killed a man there!! And my father works in the hospital and my immune system is comprimised, so I really don't fancy taking my chances, life seems to have it in for me enough without me putting myself into situations like that, lol!!! Hope the voices have quietened down now and I'm sure you're parents aren't getting fed up of you at all. Hang in there.

*huggles ShadowedSoul* I hope you've stayed safe. Please don't hate yourself and punish yourself with cutting (though I know I've done that a thousand times over, so easier said than done) but we in here don't hate you and we don't want you to be unsafe. Talk to us and we may be able to help? Or if its a lot thats going on, perhaps start a thread or go into distractions?

*huggles dayna/todlich* hope you're feeling less spacey now. And can I just say, what do you want to be called now? Have you changed your name?! Cos I'm sure you were dayna but now you're todlich? CrazyHayley is confuzzled....

*huggles Katie* Glad the pickle with your essay got sorted out. We'll look forward to you posting more again once you've completed the assignment. Hope it goes ok for you. What are you studying by the way?

*huggles Jazz* I'm glad you had a safe couple of days away with your horses, sounds like it did you the world of good. I'm pleased for you.

*goes out to the smoking shelter to find Arwen for a fag and a huggle*

<runs into denial tent and says everything's finnnnnnne>

lolly_x 14-07-2009 06:53 PM

Not official/legal name change. Just feels like who I used to be's faded away/died/whatever, so I call mysel Tödlich now. Seems more fitting. Not been spacey today thankfully, but super depressed instead. Bleck D:

PapaBear 15-07-2009 09:47 AM

I see that a bunch of people aren't doing too great today, so before I send another round of hugs, love, and positive energy, I want to share part of a letter I received from a very dear friend today. I put it in a new thread in the distractions board, but I don't know if all of you look there, so I'll cross-post it here. I feel as though it applies to everyone, not just the youngsters on their way to adulthood, and not just people who SH, but those who just struggle to reach the dawn of each new day.

Growing up in this dangerous world is full of surprises, and is a very difficult thing.
How will you ever live up to the promise of what the future holds? You've shown by example that you will overcome life's obstacles, and you are growing up to be the wonderful person that you should be.

I encourage you to accept every challenge with hope and strength, and to always do your best. Set goals. Be truthful to others and yourself, and try to forgive. Through love you will live and move on. Take on adventures with your chin lifted and your eyes open wide. To steady the journey, enjoy the ride and not just the destination. Seek passion, love, inner beauty, and self acceptance. Keep dreams and loved ones close to your heart.

Please celebrate failures with just one more try. I promise you can do anything you set your mind to. Be in control. Remember all the great things in life that money can't buy. Give back to the earth more than you take. A radiant smile from you is all that anyone asks.

Through heartbreak, pain, and experience you will be able to learn from everything, and help others as well. Be childlike, laugh often, and never turn back. Feel free to cry whenever you need to. Tears are the heart's way of bringing relief. No one will ask questions when you've made up your mind. Keep your foot firmly on the ground. Listen to your heart, and you will never go wrong. Above all, remember that love never dies.

Then at the end, as you walk your last mile, looking back on your life with a well-earned smile ... Recall all the faces that helped light the way. Give thanks for their love, and remember each day that you are unique & loved very much. You may not believe it, but someone is always thinking of you, and hoping you're alright. If you have doubts, please think of me. You share my passions, dreams, and love of life. Keep that smile on your face that I love, and never change who you are for anyone or anything. You are special just because you are you, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

I just wanted you to know that I care, and you have my love. Thank you for being you, and remember:
you will always have my shoulder to cry on, my ears to listen, and my heart to care.


And now, I send you all my love, give everyone several *MASSIVE HUGS*, and send all the positive energies I have (which after reading that letter, is a LOT of positivity) and leave a large tray of sweets and pastries, and several pots of various kinds of tea and hot chocolate. There's a pile of fresh pillows and blankets under the serving table for anyone who wants them.

Be safe, be strong, and know that I love you all dearly.:kiss: :satisfied:

zowie 15-07-2009 11:23 AM

zowie 15-07-2009 10:06 PM

Harry Potter was good. Obviously not as good as the book, but it was pretty true to it. Little bit rushed.

I'm desperate for a drink. I just bought a bottle of wine, but I have a new rule that I'm not allowed to drink unless someone is drinking with me.
I may have to break the rule...

Kahlia1981 16-07-2009 02:26 AM

Sorry for the lack of individual replies, but I'm typing one-handed.

I managed to get my dad to have a beer while I had a couple of glasses of wine. Managed to stop after that though, and therefore have about half a bottle left for tonight.
Going to the pub in a bit, my friend has been working lates all week so we reckon we should go for a drink now that it's over.
My dad is winding me up. But it's not a big deal, he always gets like this when he's working.

[Fog] 16-07-2009 02:49 PM

ARRRRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH *bangs head against the wall*

Stupid f*cking mental health services. When I say things are terrifying and getting loads worse then why would they not set up help NOW instead of in a few weeks time?!

I'm f*cking terrified. All this switching all the time. It's escalating and I'm sh*tting myself. What if I switch in Co-Op and hurt someone or trash everything and get arrested and get sectioned?

I don't want to get f*cking admitted again but that's the way it's going and I don't f*cking want that.

I hate myself I hate my head I hate my life

shadowedseraph 16-07-2009 08:07 PM

*hugs zowie* i hope you managed to have a nice time at the pub

*hugs banana* Don't hate yourself for something that is out of your control *more hugs*

rockaroni 16-07-2009 10:03 PM

*throws around a few hugs*

*pops out to the smoking shelter*

Damnation, I'm sorry for your housemate, that must be awful to go through. But at least they were pre-cancerous, which means they can treat it before it gets full blown.


I don't want to leave the house. I hate that in this town people think it's so hysterical to insult strangers. I'm sick of being the easy target. Why can't people be nice anymore?

shadowedsoul 16-07-2009 10:19 PM

****sake why was i even born, im such a stuiped muppet, argh just going to hide out here intill everthing cools off,people stop having ago. *goes to corner, hide under blanket*

*hugs Jill* hang in there hun, here if you wanna talk

*hugs Kahlia back gently avoiding the wrist*

*hugs Todlich* hope they've caught them soon enough

*hugs Shadowedseraph* you okay hun?

*hugs HannahBanana* keep fighting, you can do it, I hope you get the help you need

*hugs Arwen* hope you had a nice night and are ok

I've had a very frustrating day, I take so long to get out of bed which annoys me so much but I'm so tired all the time. Managed my run though which is good. Have no idea how to prep for this interview I have next friday which scares me, went for a ride in the rain, but I should have done more work, I should have done and then I wanted to chat with friends on msn and all I get is men messing with my head, why do they do it? make you feel good and then dash everything into the dirt, why can't I just like someone who wont treat me ****? I'm so annoyed with myself cos there's this really lovely guy who does like me but I just don't fancy him. I am the only one to blame for myself and I hate me.

xlaurenx 17-07-2009 12:08 AM
