I'm back

I'm back

Hi @NikNik @pip @Decadian@utopia@Faith-and-Hope@Former-Member@Shaz51@Former-Member @CherryBomb @Silenus moderators and friends

I knew i wouldn't last!! I need you all. who was i kidding. Hubby and I went camping for 4 days and we argued so much about how to put the tent up, which post to use, wrong post, right post, etc etc etc

I couldn't read my book that i bought because he kept talking to me. At the end i gave up. We did walk around the perimeter of the caravan park which took 1/2 hour (huge park). I managed to swim which that gave me some peace and quiet for a little while.

We just snapped at each other most of the time. And when we didn't snap we sat and hardly spoke. he is the type of guy that doesn't say much but i noticed even in the car driving up (3.5 hours) he wouldn't start a conversation. So i just looked up facebook and read the paper, or fell asleep.

The weather was beautiful (25-30 every day). But i realised that i need space to myself. We are home now and he is washing the car, I have just put a load of washing on. the kids survived without us and actually not even keen to see us 😞

My mental state is not that great. The CAT team rang me on saturday to make sure i was okay and asked about my sleeping. The psych i saw gave me some sleeping tablet but i am still adjusting and don't like the drowsiness it causes the next day. I did call them again on sunday afternoon but they had to transfer me to the place that i went to and i sadi no don't worry as hubby was coming back to me anytime and i couldn't speak while he was there.

I have an appt tomorrow to see the CAT team psych again, i also have an appt to see my own psych in the afternoon. it will be interesting to see what he has to say abut me seeing the CAT tem psych.

I knew i wouldn't last being off here, i just needed to tell someone about my weekend. And as for intimacy and sex - well there is none. And it's prob my fault because i told him last time in hospital back in July that i wasn't interested. which is still true but i am sure he would like to.

I feel like a failure for not being able to stay away from this forum, i always have good intentions, set myself a goal but never go through with it. that's where i see myself as a huge failure.

anyway, just thought i would say hi to everyone and that i have missed you all even though it's not even a week. how patethic is that.

Re: I'm back

thanks @Change123

I have been emailed a phone number for a local community support centre. I know I need to ring them but am a bit worried. I will call and see what they say.

Let you know how it goes.

When are you seeing your GP? I'm seeing mine tomorrow morning and he will get a report from my calls to the CAT team but he is very understanding. I will let him know how angry I was though. He is an amazing doctor, so patient with me.

Thanks for the compliment for the beanie.

I copied it and tried to turn it over - in my pics it was right way up - but didn't post that way

Sorry - and I thought I was soooooooooooo clever

Re: I'm back

@BlueBay

You should definitely look at selling those at markets or craft shops, this could be a good outlet for you and earn some cash as well!

I hope Jersey girl is sitting there with you 🙂

OK, here is one bootie. Didn't take long to make. Need to give my eyes a rest. Will knit the other bootie after. I can't believe how quick it was to knit. Another side photo - does anyone know how to upload the photo straight??

Re: I'm back

My dr say Knitting (needlework) is a mindfulness activity. So pleased for you that you have this outlet @BlueBay, kind of like a gift to you. You've inspired me to get my sewing out 😉
