It was both cancel and lift company

I've been waitin three years for this to happen and council was umimng and arrrring then before Christmas they actually agreed to put the threw floor lift in so got a date from lift company for November just gone. Lift company cancelled that appointment so given me another date for next week again lift company phone to cancell again so I phoned my ot to get this sorted so she phones man from cancell so he must hav been in touch with lift company

Something must hav been said cos lift company phoned again saying job is back on something bout contract and he has to hire a van out of his own pocket but ill beleive it when I c it

Oh Michelle, that is such a nuisance isn't it, I actually thought it would have been fitted by now. Have they given a reason for the cancellation? Is this the council?

Thank you so much Susan I am trying to stay strong and keep strong

Been giving but bad news

I have been waiting for 3 years to have a lift fitted to help me upstairs they were suppose to have come in November just gone then got another date starting Monday coming now got a call telling me they've cancelled again so now I'm struggling to get upstairs my oh has emptied the bedroom as we were told the room has to b clear of furniture now I still have to sleep on the flipping counch no wonder my back is hurting

Like is such a bi---h sometimes

I have just started reading these pages.
You have certainly been through it Tinkers.
You are sounding more positive in your last message.
I know it will be hard at times but exclude the person who is giving you so much grief.
Be strong. I will be thinking of you,
Sue :-)

Thank you ladies I won't make contact with this person as I won't make contact as this person is doing all the running

Without going into wat happened on here I did find some answers of actually what this person said and done and it's not nice but I am starting to think more positive and decided what I want in live and this person isn't included but who knows what the future holds

I haven't posted for a while, tinkers, as I didn't think I had anything useful to add but I'm still willing you on to get better.

Try not to let the person who is upsetting you get to you. I know that's easier said than done but, if you can, avoid being with them and don't let them see how much they are hurting you. If you can put up Liz's "invisible shield" you can visualise their words not getting through to you but bouncing straight back at them.

Do you have to have contact with the person who is upsetting you tinkers, can you not avoid them or ignore them if you see them so they are unable to continue hurtng you? If they are harrassing you, you could possibly get police to warn them off, with the threat that any more harrassment will be met with police action.

Try and keep an invisible shield between them and you, don't let them do their worst to you.

Good luck

Well just as I'm starting to get threw the worse of the depression something else has happened

Without saying to much but the person who upset me in the first place is at their old tricks again upsetting me and I'm crying all the time

My doctor is keeping an eye on me as he wants to see me every couple of weeks or so

Welcome to the board Margie

I'm going threw the stage were I'm in tears a lot mostly on the night but I think that's due to cumming of the citalopram god help Wednesday when I start these new pills I just hope they help me sleep a little bit more

hI tinkers,

Sleep apnoea will cause problems with sleeping well as you wake yourself up constantly, I do it myself sometimes but I read myself off to sleep again if I am not able to drift off (that's if o.h. has got up, can't read when he is trying to sleep, obviously) My sleep pattern is crazy, I have been ujp all night as usual, watching tv recordings or being on here (and I took the Christmas decorations down earlier lol) and then when my o.h. gets up for the early shift at work this week, I go to bed and sleep till about 2pm or longer, depending on how I feel or what I have to do. It's the only way I can manage to get any sleep, altho it does affect my life in that in winter I barely see daylight but it stops me getting to so many shops so I save money lol Used to love the charity shops but by the time I am up and ready to go out they are usually closing.

Just keep doing what you are doing, taking each day as it comes, trying to keep busy to distract your mind from worrying and coping as best you can.


THIS POST WILL HELP NUDGE THIS THREAD FOR MARGIE, A NEWBIE ON THE BOARDS WHO SUFFERS FROM DEPRESSION/ANXIETY AND PANIC ATTACKS.

WELCOME TO THIS THREAD MARGIE

I'm still taking things one day at a time tho today is a b ad day so I managed to stay calm so I kinda kept busy and made some cards and listened to sum music


I've always had a problem with sleeping were its rare I nod of before 3 in the morning I have sleep apnea so I don't no if that has to do with out

Hi tinkers,

sorry you have such a problem with sleeping. I am surprised your doc is taking you off citalopram when you haven't been on them long but hope the new meds will help you more. Your sleep pattern sounds a bit like mine, I sleep through the morning and yesterday I was so tired and o.h. had gone to work so I slept on till 4pm. That's why I am vit d deficient, as I don't get out in the light, not that there's any sun light to produce vit d. It seems this deficiency is very common with older people especially and in Britain where we don't get a lot of sun. I need to make an apptmt with my doc to get checked out, haven't had a chance to get a flu jab yet so might not be any left the receptionist said before Christmas. I could have had it when I called in for my prescription but daren't risk it in case it made me off colour for a few days, had too much to do to be poorly.

Keep taking one day at a time and hopefully you will find life improving after a while.

love to all who need support and those who support others too

Thanx Ann I don't sleep a lot threw the night anyhow as I normally have lots of pain I the legs but with the fluid building up it doesn't help very much

I just wish I could go to sleep before 11 pm instead of 4 or 5 in the morning lol

It dose my head in tho should be used to it by now

Yep Michelle up and down all night not doubt. Solves one problem and makes another, you can't win. I hope the change in anti depressant helps you. :-)

Happy new year everyone

I went back to the doctors day before New Year's Eve and he is taking me of the citalopram so I'm starting to get panicky but I have to get of them slowly over two weeks but he has given me another anti depression pill to take when I'm finished with the citalopram

Im also having problems with the fluid in my ankles building up too so doctor told me to take more water pills and to have bed rest grr me guessing ill b spending more time in the little girls room

Rach lots of ((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))) for you <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

and, of course for anyone else who needs them. :-) :-) :-) :-)

Hugs for everyone who needs them! We all seem to be a part of a big family who sometimes need more support than can be gained at home or need that extra hug from people who understand how dark the world can seem at times. I am pleased we have been able to help you tinkers, and hope you will continue to make good progress. Why not try putting some affirmations where you can see them, inside a cupboard or on the bedside table etc, just little things like I got through yesterday and I can get through today or I am worth more than I think and can overcome bad days. You can make up what seems appropriate for you. Good luck with the family history work, I am sure you will find it takes up a lot of time and energy and you will feel proud at the discoveries you make. Keep up the good work now the medication is kicking in.


I am meeting someone from the Mental Health people in mid January, she is part of the team of case workers so I don't know if she will be mine or will allocate me someone but it's what I have been needing and wanting for years, it's only taken 19 yrs to get this far! I am hoping she is trained enough to understand my hoarding problem and help me get my life back in order, but to be honest I don't hold out a lot of hope, as there are few if any people who know anything about the hoarding part of ocd here in Norfolk. When she called me (and it took several weeks till we could talk and arrange an apptmt due to her leaving me strange messages or missed calls with no knowing where to get back to her) I mentioned the amount of stuff I have stacked around and she asked why and didn't seem to know about me being a hoarder. Maybe she didn't read my notes properly as the letter that was sent to her by the chap I saw last June made it clear my problem was down to hoarding.

Will keep you posted, later in January......

Happy New Year folks, let's make it a new start too
