    Hi Alex
    Its sad to read how awful you are feeling but really with all thats going on youre not superman(woman) and cant put on a brave face 24/7. You have a lot going on to cope with. Each in isolation you could cope with but its just too many things. I think youve done great. Also when youre in pain its harder to battle these things feeling vunerable. Everyone has said some good things above and we all here for you. Its not easy putting some things into words as in person just facial expressions and being there help but we are here.
    Are you off work? Would you be better taking some time off whether sick or holiday leave? Think youre no.1. You can do this..
    I think counselling would be good too to let it all out and alot of how you feel is normal considering what you have been through and whats going on at the moment.
    take care. x

    Dear Alex
    I have read your message time and time again and then understood how you were able to come back time and time again to be there for everybody else. I just don't know what I can say, because I don't know the deep down issues that have cemented their way into your life which have made you the strong person you have become. Unfortunately for you, that cement must crack at some point and obviously that time has come now.
    I would like to be able and I'm sure all your friends would like to seal those cracks up for you. I would really deep down like to make everything alright for you and I can feel the anguish in your message.
    Having woken to another beginning of another week, I hope you can face it a little stronger knowing that we are allhere for you.
    I wish I had known you a lot longer, but you have always helped me in the short time I have been on this forum
    Love
    from joy


    I do think you touched something there Joy, they made me who I am and am glad they happened to me and not my siblings. Had to edit this though, in retrospect hate putting anything positive down about what folks say to me in real life, just feel it's not me.

    Hi Alex, I have only just read this post. You have had some wonderful replies and I can't really add a lot to what has already been said. I just wanted you to know I admire you for all that you are coping with. I can totally understand things triggering intense feelings, I have gone through something which did that. Counselling helped me to cope and get things into perspective. I hope it does the same for you.

    In the meantime writing your thoughts down may help you. I wish you well and the strength to deal with this.

    Hugs

    Hi Alex

    My heart goes out to you. You have so much to cope with at the moment. But I think you have some fighting spirit and determination, so I'm sure things will resolve themselves eventually. You have had some very good advice from others, so I can't add more, except to say that everyone gets bad times in their lives. When you are living through them, it is awful, and you think it will never end. But don't lose heart because you will win through in time.

    Joan

    How is our Alex - have noticed you have not been on the forum for a few days. I do hope you are keeping your head above water.

    Concerned about you,

    Love

    The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.

    If you can lay down at night knowing in your heart that you made someone's day just a little bit better, you know you had a good day.

    Hello Alex.
    How are you feeling today chuck????? (((((((((((((())))))))))))) alot. I think we all need that today. I don't know why I switched the news on today. Only got my first cold in 18 months or so. Fed up with the thought of wintercoming, so I'm the last person who should be calling by to cheer you up. You know those novel things you can buy, about 6 or 8 silver balls in a row hanging from a bar. When you pull one ball out, let it go, it hits the rest, and they start a chain reaction until they all come to a rest again. Well, each day if you think of something that really makes you angry, then start the reaction going, breathing very slowly concentrate on the balls and think very clearly of that feeling making it become small and the balls have stopped.
    Well, if the above exercise hasn't helped, then it has made you have a good laugh. I had to do something similar with my councillor after a bad period at work and a Tribunal gave me a bad period of depression.. If something does annoy me now all I do is ask myself how important is it?


    After that thought, I'd better go. I'll think of something else tomorrow.

    Joy

    I hope you are feeling alot better,
    like you I felt I lost my identity and for month was very down,
    like you my employers would not recognise my illness, my line manager even changed the keys when i was on holiday, that was the final straw, I went long term sick and bought in the union, I was medically discharged and was awarded my pension, totally unheard of for a person my age.
    now I have a new life i,m a different person better I think, new hobbies, new experiences and challenges, new relationships, new everything really,
    so go for it girl meet it head on, use your personality to make the best of things award yourself with little treats and long rest days, your little boy will remember his mommy been unwell but always doing the very best for him
    Go for it girlie
    lol.
