My special place

I remember reading about you going camping @tyme I hope all goes smoothly and the kids behave themselves. Perhaps she needed to be ignored last night. If she hasn't got an audience then maybe she will stop with her bad behavior.

My idea of camping is at least a cabin! I remember going camping once when the kids were young and setting up a tent in the rain. Never again!

Grew up watching, going and participating in different sports. Was practically every weekend.

Hi @Snowie I’m a bit better today. Not quite as depressed as before. But very annoyed at myself for starting to smoke again after stopping for 48 hours. It is so hard to stop smoking. It is a curse. Hope you are ok. What do you suffer from?

I wondered if you worked on the forums. What did you previous problem did you have and how did you get over it? Sorry if that’s too intrusive a question. Just ignore it if it is. It is nice to communicate with other people helps me overcome my loneliness.

Ahhhh... yes @Snowie , it'll be tent camping. Last time we went it was raining, but it should be okay these next few days. If the kids don't behave themselves, I'm walking off.. I don't care where I walk away to.

And @GezzaP , go gentle on yourself. It's not easy to quit smoking. Have you seen the GP to see how they can help you?

@outlander , please take care.

I'll catch you all shortly as I'm having some offline time now.

Hey @GezzaP , not intrusive at all. I really struggled with BPD, insomnia, depression and anxiety. My life was a whirlwind, and I really struggled to stay alive.

I'm glad things have improved so much now.

It took a long time for me to be ready for therapy. For a long time, I said I wanted help, but really, deep down, I wasn't ready to make the changes that were needed.

Recovery took many years, but it was worth it.

It is hard to quit smoking @GezzaP have been there.

I have CPTSD, major depressive disorder and anxiety.

@tyme Yes I saw my GP and I’m on zyban which blocks the nicotine receptors in the brain. I will try again to stop smoking when I run out of smokes. I’m determined to try again. Yes I know I am hard on myself but can’t help. Sorry about your niece and enjoy your camping trip.

@tyme So pleased to hear you recovered must have been hard. I think I’ll try CBT. Did you use that to recover?

@Snowie what is CPSDT? Sorry I’m ignorant. Anxiety and depreassion are so hard to deal with. I know because I have them. All the best. You have my support. Do you work? What do you do?
