hey @DruidChild i did end up just crochetting for abit and then laying in bed. no they jsut said reconnect the next day but i couldnt yesterday i was really busy. hey @Esperanza67 i havent heard back as yet, hopefully soon. i swear if it doesnt rain it pours. i went through some of my records of xrays etc to try and find something and i come across my xray from 2011 when i had a rather serious accident with the horses involving my foot. and at the time i was told that there wasnt anything wrong however when i had a look it actually says something on there that basically means the entire ligament holding my 2 leg bones to my foot which isnt very good at all and also means i shouldve undergone surgury. its flared up today because now it has permanent damage but after reading it it sent me off the rails abit first angry then sad and crying and then now both. something that could have been fixed yrs ago can now never be repaired and will also have life long pain with it now ...

i will if it gets to bad thanks @TOM-RO @Eden1717 its kinda the things i cant talk about online, its more identifying stuff so i cant really ask for help here for these things. ... View more

mm not sure @TOM-RO i find it hard to ask helplines for help even though i know that is what they are there for and having them say that makes it even harder. i dont really know what to say now. ... View more

i actually couldve done with talking it out with someone but now i dont know. i gues just put the tv on for a while and hope bed time comes quickly. @TOM-RO ... View more

thanks @DruidChild its been a long day again i even contacted a helpline and they said 'your regular counsellor isnt here why dont you try to recconecting later and using your coping strategies- bye for now' that isnt a helpful response at all ... View more

a couple of years is a long time @Cheeseburger ... im glad your going to get some answers soon too ... View more

what would be most helpful for you tonight in the ways of coping? im happy to talk about some things bothering you, help you work on emotions, just a distraction chat? @Esperanza67 is here too and shes pretty fun and helpful :) ... View more

me too @litgym when i had my headspace counsellor online while on a waitlist to see someone face-to-face she was so good i hadve wished i couldve seen her offline as well. its a shame it doesnt work like that hey ... View more

thanks @Esperanza67 after the weekend i might see if theres another hopsital that does teeth extractions that wont cost an arm and a leg. theres no way im going to be awake for 5/6 teeth to be taken out and one with high chances of complications! ... View more

for sure! @litgym im quite the same. i connect better over the internet than face to face. maybe its partly becasue we are anonymous over the internet as well so cna be a little more open.. im glad your finding something distracting to do as well ... View more

yeah it is very much ouch @Esperanza67 im on otc pain meds when it gets bad and also high strength pain meds but i cant have them much as they are addictive so can only have them every few weeks and only for a week or so till i run out. other than that just some salt water gargles if it becomes infected and sometimes warm drinks as well ... View more

thats ok @litgym sometimes it takes one or 2 counsellors to go through before finding the right one but itll be worth it esp when you can build up some trust and speak about whats happening for you ... View more

some of the reason yeah @Esperanza67 i need all 4 wisdom teeth taken out (one is badly impacted atm) plus one other and depending on the damage to the other tooth the wisdom is impacting with that one might have to come out at well. so 6 teeth as up :/ ... View more

@litgym it is important to connect with your counsellor for sure, i hope the new one will be better suited to you. also if your having troubles with the curren counsellor you can say 'im havent been speaking to the school counsellor and would rather just talk to you' and that usually helps with those sorts of questions as well. ... View more

@Esperanza67 they are just really tough, maybe some laughs from the movie will help pick me up abit.. my teeth are giving me hell today though so hopefully i hear back from the hospital after the weekend ... View more

@litgym i can understand all of that. im much the same lately with moods and it being a daily thing. have you still been seeing your counsellor? bugger about the counsellors not being on tonight! what about headspace- do you like to use that helpline at all? maybe as hard as it is you could try 'fake it till you make it' tomorrow? im often doing that with family, even though i feel like shit just try your best to smile at least. sometimes it can help with moods even for a little while ...

hey @litgym hugs do you want to talk about anything at all or whats causing you to feel really low? ... View more

hey @blobby it sounds rather tough for you right now. i totally get how family commitments (and annoying siblings) can make things even more overwhelming and hard to keep up with school work. i love @ErinsAntics idea of a kareoke night with friends! great way to hang with friends, get away from family and work on an assignment all at once :) with your other homeworks maybe you could set yourself a goal of working on an assignment for an hr and half of an evening while dinners cooking or after dinner? if your brother annoys you you could ask your mum/dad to tell him to stay out of your room so that you can concentrate and get your work done? ...

yeah im watching the movie grown ups on tv and just cooking dinner at the same time as well. @Bree-RO i dont think i can do much with these emotions at the moment ... View more
