We are friends already @Former-Member - I feel that strongly 💞xx

I agree with you @Former-Member we are friends.

hello Loveley. its so good to hear from you my feelings towards your posts and you are very much reciprocated.

i had to look up what that diagnosis is! oh my goodness you poor thing! it sounds horrible and im sure that would explain why youve been feeling rather yukky and tired too. aww try to rest up as muhc as you can. Is Hashimoto disorder (?) treatable or more just manageable? your gp sounds loveley thats a great relationship you have but sometimes id worry that i wouldnt open up as much- do you find that or do you find it better that you have that good relationship? (dont answer any of those of course if im overstepping boundaries or your uncomfortable)

i can tell you are a teddy bear- your soul is very kind and empathetic. i like you just the way you are though in all aspect- please dont change that.

ah yes i can relate to being at home too much with nothing to do, it affects me the same way too. its really good that you enjoy your work though, nothing worse than having to face another day with the things you might feel forced or obliged to do.

oh dear, if i could i would try my best to help your daughter. im probably not a great influence or the best person to ask advice from but i would still try to help and just be her friend.

My day was ok, abit busy. i had my hand specialist on monday so my hands abit sore and still but im sure itll ease in another day or so.

@Former-Memberthese are for you.... no they arent triangles 😉

You would be great for my daughter @outlander - you are more grounded and that would be good for her. Wish it was possible. People she knows take advantage of her presently and their lifestyle choices aren't good. She is a very loyal person and good deep down...she just needs more caring people her age around her. She is a magnet for users.

My Doctor has helped me through some very dark stages throughout my life for over 7 years now. His intentions for my welfare are genuine and trust has been formed there. It took awhile for that type of relationship to develop - he is English and has no family here so he appreciates our support and we his medically. I think opening up to someone takes time and trust has to develop first. And it has to be mutual. It really is not a common type of relationship we have with our doctor I don't think, we are lucky but he is very cari ng with all his patients - with us it just naturally happened over time. I think it's a matter of discerning who we can open up to and trust, and who we can't which usually takes time to work out and nurturing trust. I have never opened up to doctor like the one I have now before.

Hashimotto is very manageable - it's just getting the medication at the right dose for the individual. If that is what is playing up with me it is probably due to the worrying I have been doing over my daughter. For my own good I have to stop, one way I am trying to achieve this is to stay busy. She is prone to severe depression and that is always a concern. Not easy for us but I will have to work out a way. I have to hold onto the belief that somehow she will work it out and a better outcome for all will eventuate. That keeps me grounded for now.

Glad your day went along okay and that you were busy - I find when I am not I overthink which can lead to depression - probably the same for everyone. So busy is good 😊. Did you specialist do some type of physio on your ha d - that will flare the pain up for a few days but should settle for you in time. I am glad you are looking after yourself 😊.

I don't think I will ever change - I am in a place in life where I know what matters and what is important in the end. And it feels fight. It's grief and worry that can derail me at times - that's when I have to really to push. We are all battling something and it's heartening to know that we can help each other along the way. One step at a time - we will do it and all it will all work out somehow 💞

The pics are visible @outlander - gorgeous, I am still smiling xxx

@Former-Memberi am more than sure shes a good person just hanging around the wrong crowd atm. with her depression it would be affecting her self worth too. i know it affects me a great deal. i hope she can get on the right path soon, im sure it would help you too and your stressing.

Your dr does sound really good! im very glad and very grateful hes helped you through your tough times. you deserve the good life and not that dark hole, so so glad you dont go there all that much anymore and if you do youve got some great supporters.

oh im glad its manageable! they come up with lots of scary names for things dont they. when i was doing my medical terminology course there were so many scary names for some very simple things! im hoping that you start to pick up physically again soon. self care ok

um no so much as physio- she gave it a massage (which always aggriavtes it and makes it rather unhappy) and she put the tens machine on for about about 10 minutes too to start stimulating the nerves again. im allowed to take the cast off as long as im careful not to bump it so when im at home take it off so that my hand stops 'hiding' as she says. its like my brain says its not safe unless its in the cast so shes helping me retrain my brain a little bit too by using a mirror. ive got a few little things do to to help my hand so its starting the hard and painful part of working through the physio stuff for however long it takes but she says baby steps because it had a really rough start to its healing.

good, im glad you are content too @Former-Member and yes of course. we are all in this together no matter what stage of healing we are at.

oh my gosh! please excuse my dreadful scatterbrain spelling!! @Former-Member

oh that was quick! good job to the mod whose on tonight. i like seeing people smile (when people say they are smiling and i imagine it) it helps me too and makes me smile too

@Former-MemberHello, I want you to know that I think what your going through right now requires a great deal of courage. You have already proven that you have enough to survive this. I pray for you my friend, God can heal all wounds, you are clearly wounded, but not fatally, your wounded as a great human being who has pain. These wounds give out more light than heat extinct in both as Polonius would say. They CANNOT REALLY hurt you. You deserve to live a long life as a happy happy person.

Hello @Former-Member - my dear friend. It was a lovely way to start off the day reading a post from you. How is your day going? All good I hope.

I appreciate your prayers, please keep them up - my daughter also needs them. She is in an abusive relationship once again and is self destructing which is concerning me, but at the same time am trying to get on with my life and be happy. Sometimes for me the worry derails me and my health has taken a turn for the worse. So am in a battle but hopeful the outcome will be good.

I have been thinking about you too - how are things going with you? Have a wonderful day - you are a very special person xx
