Well done, Goodun! it must be a big achievement for you, pity your family are not there to share your joy. But you don't need them to tell you that you've done well, because you know that it was YOU that did it, you and your will power! Well done, good luck.

Yea! I bought a bran new reclining chair on EBay it was half the price of the ones in the Mobility Shop, and is just as comfortable, if not better. I can lay back in it, and set the vibration motion to so many different options, the best one boing the one that sends the massage from my neck...

DharmaGirl, I also have spondylolisthesis in my lower spine, the result of an accident that finished my working life. So I know how painful it can be! When I fell, I knocked two vertebra together, and now they have fused, which makes every movement painful. The resulting pain can build up so...

I always feel good after I've a shed my hair, I like that fresh feeling you get, it can even cheer me up sometimes. It's even better if I've had a wet shave first, it's a nice clean feeing. I prefer to wash my hair separately, then have a shower, that makes me feel even better. One thing, I...

Welcome to the site, your in the right place for all the support you will need, and can speak freely in here.

It must have been an agonising time for you while your considering your options, and I know how hard it is to come to a decision. Now that you made your decision, I bet you feel more content inside, and proud. It a great thing you are doing, and I wish you all the best with your future, well done.

You've hit right in the nail there, it's my lack of trust and low confidence that has sparked all this off. It all started when my late wife's family did to me before and after she passed. The thefts were bad enough to take, but when they got me banned from visiting her in hospital, telling the...

Last week I drove 20 miles to have a sit down dish supper, at an award winning chippy. I was enjoying the meal, and the background music from the 50s, until two families came in with a total of 7 kids! They were so badly behaved and the noise they were making was even encouraged by their...

Aye! Snowflake, I get anxious/scared when I'm amongst other people, but not when I'm alone? Yet I I don't really like being on my own, well, not all the time, as there are times when I prefer it, there seems to be no middle ground? I know that I will never be in a relationship again, but...

I've always thought that you don't have to be alone to be lonely. I have felt lonely even when surrounded by people, and now that I live alone, it's a different kind of loneliness? I never knew that there were different types of loneliness, or is it just the same thing, but effects us all in...

AhI sorry to read that, as I know just how much a migraine can just totally floor you! I used to get them quite frequently, and all I could do was go and lie down in a dark room, hold my head and rock myself to sleep! Thankfully I've not had one for some years now. The pain is just...

I never realised just how many clothes I had until my sister came over from Holland, and cleared all my late wife's clothes out for me, as I just couldn't do that, I was still upset. That was two years ago now, but I was totally amazed when I saw what was left, as it was all my clothes? Seems...

Aye! take things one step at a time, as I've found out from last experience, if I take on too much and it all goes wrong, I get really stressed out and frustrated, then can't even concentrate on anything?

Yea! when I was having therapy a few years ago, I was asked to write down everything I could remember about my nightmare, and take it to the next session. As the T said if I did that, it would stop that nightmare being repeated? I did that, but I ended up having the same nightmare three times...

Welcome to the site Bronte, you said ........ That's exactly what I do, well as often as I can, I try to find, or do one positive thing out of each day, and you will be surprised at just how good that makes me feel. In fact I've quoted that so often in here, some folk must be getting sick of...

The only reason I wake up from mine, is because I always wake up screaming, and that's what wakens me? But I do understand what you are going through, and it's a horrible experience! Are your nightmares dreams, or about events from your past, like mine are? Mine are so vivid, it's like a...

I had a bad flash back today when I was sitting in my back garden. I could smell a bar-b-q going, which was fine, until they started to cook pork? The smell of the cooking pork took me right back to a horrible scene from many years ago. When we arrived at road accident where there was a car on...

Had my row with them today, as the TV wouldn't switch in today, but I've covered that on another thread. But, I was really angry, really angry, .........and I don't like doing that, as it's so stressful for me, but don't like being taken for a full!

I was angry today when they delivered my new TV, and left without showing me all it's functions, they were in and out within 5 minutes, and I paid a £40 set up fee, up front when I paid for the TV last week! I hate being taken for a mug like that, there is going to be a row in that shop tomorrow!

I wish I could have a nap during the day, but even though I feel totally shattered I just sleep? It's the same thing at nights, in fact I can't remember the last time I slept through a whole night, it was that long ago?

For the nice weather we had here today, it was a lovely sunny day here, and I spent the whole day outside in it.

I was angry with myself today, as it was such a beautiful day, sun was out and it was nice and calm. But I just couldn't be bothered to do anything, despite the fact that there was plenty of jobs outside that needed doing, but I just didn't have the energy to do them? I feel so angry and...

Yea! I get that sometimes, what happens is, I hear an explosion in my head, followed by automatic gun fire, I jump up scared to death, as it felt so real, only to find that I'm safely tucked up in bed? It's so weird, as when it happens it's so real, .............yet I can't believe that it was...

I was grateful for the fact that today was the first one in twelve days when it didn't rain! The constant wet weather was really getting me down, and now that the nights are drawing in makes me feel worse, I hate this time of year! Because I know it won't be long before it gets dark by 16.00...

The thing about broken sleep patterns or broken sleep, is that after a few nights of it, you body and mind get really tired. And if left to continue, it starts to change your personality and behaviour, you get irritable, short tempered, and can't consentrate on anything for long? I know this...
