How is everyone feeling? (31) - Page 302

Mo34 · #**9031** 9th February 2017, 19:00

Had a stressful morn at animal sanctuary, my sa seemed to be high. Too many ppl and not enough space plus a really furious cat to add to the mix.

Yet another social worker rang me twice this s'morn, seems Tracy (the original s.worker) isn't going to show her face. I met her briefly at the hospital today as well. She was all 'i'm so sorry you've had a bad experience'. She is now giving me some choice as to where my dad goes (as should have been from the beginning). The original care home now has the hump because I haven't automatically said yes to them.*sigh*

I'm glad it's evening and to be in the house and away from it all.

That's a tough situation to be in Jinny. Sounds harsh by your manager tbh.

@muggins, sorry to hear that re your half sister, I know that would make me anxious and upset too. It takes a lot to open up.

Spent an evening in floods of tears. Work is systematically killing me at the moment and no one knows how bad I'm feeling. So fed up and lonely.

That is very unfair jinny

any chance you can lie and say you've been invited to visit family for a couple of days or something?

newbs16 · #**9034** 10th February 2017, 02:41

I think this is very unfair, if you're on holiday they should accept you're not able to attend and arrange it for when you're in. I know that my sister needed to go in to work oon her day off to attend a staff meeting.

girlinterrupted · #**9035** 10th February 2017, 04:58

Worried about someone,thinking I`ve probably made things worse instead of better but knowing there is nothing else I can do.

David K · #**9036** 10th February 2017, 06:22

I feel like I've been running on fumes, emotionally, for months now. My aunt is dying and everyone is sad, but I feel so disconnected. The only emotion I still feel strongly is fear. Everything else is like faint background noise.

Just then when I thought about my aunt I felt like crying, for a split second. I'm too good at suppressing it though. It's rare that I even realise I'm doing it.

Mo34 · #**9037** 10th February 2017, 07:30

^

I'm sorry about your aunt.

I'm exactly the same in suppressing things.

I can't believe how much you've been messed around regarding where your dad goes. I hope something gets sorted soon, Mo, for your peace of mind and your dads too.

yeah I don't think i'm going to ever be popular after yesterday with that particular cat. I had to transfer her from her pen to another (not so nice) one. She was LIVID.

Thanks

. Yeah hopefully this time around things will be done more properly by the social worker.

bad sa day, but a nice bitter to have later, and 8 out of 10 cats does countdown.

girlinterrupted · #**9041** 10th February 2017, 20:02

Sad,panicky,all the fun physical stuff that goes along with it. Sometimes I think I want to just cry and cry til everything stops,but I can`t even be bothered to go to that much effort.

If I was a horse someone would have shot me by now. Yay me.

@David_k ,so sorry about your aunt

. Numbness over the years has been my subconsciousness trying to protect me from stuff it thinks I can`t handle (i.e. everything),but it ends up causing more stress because then I`m worried about why am I numb?- No help at all to you but I can definitely relate,try not to feel bad about coping how you need to in such a horrible situation

Thanks Muggins. I am off and have Mon-Weds off now too. Exhausted today after yesterday so am glad to have a break and try to refocuse.

Sending you hugs as well and hoping you feel a bit better tomorrow.

@DavidK sorry about yous aunt.

Custard_cream · #**9044** 10th February 2017, 21:51

^^ Hope you feel better soon biscuits.

Sorry to hear about your Aunt, David.

Toxic · #**9045** 11th February 2017, 00:15

Long old week at work, I'm exhausted

I'm also doped up on painkillers for my headaches and whatever the hell is wrong with my forearms (I think I'm basically falling apart) can barely pick up a cup in certain positions

and were getting a new shower fitted tomorrow morning so I can't even have a bloody sleep in

newbs16 · #**9046** 11th February 2017, 06:56

^ Hope you feel better soon @toxic.

Silent Ninja · #**9047** 11th February 2017, 13:21

Unmotivated.

Fantastical · #**9048** 11th February 2017, 15:31

Tired, sad and my wrist is pretty painful today.

Fantastical · #**9049** 12th February 2017, 11:50

Panicky and low. Feeling like I'm going to lose it at any moment.

Professor Willow · #**9050** 12th February 2017, 14:14

Sorry to hear you like that Fantastical, wish I could offer more than just e-hugs
I hope things improve quickly for you

Pink*Lady · #**9051** 12th February 2017, 16:04

Depressed, anxious, paranoid, worthless, unsociable and petrified about the future.

Professor Willow · #**9053** 12th February 2017, 20:13

Bitter and it's getting worse

Professor Willow · #**9054** 12th February 2017, 23:22

^ Aww Muggins

I hope you get some sleep tonight
Is there nothing that can be done to help with your insomnia?

Merritt · #**9055** 13th February 2017, 14:37

Drowsy. Think this is going to be another one of those days where I sleep through big chunks of it.

Mo34 · #**9056** 13th February 2017, 17:49

A lot better. I felt ill the s'morning but rallied myself to go and view a care home for my dad this afternoon. SA provoking and then some. They were so nice tho. A guy (the manager I think) showed me round, took some details. I've got a few more to see. But it's certainly a lot better than the one he was sent to over xmas.

Had a good day, been for long walk with dad. But now all the stress and feeling low has started to come back. Speaking to a certain person on the phone has just made me feel upset, stressed, annoyed and generally a bit shit.
