smiley Report post Posted April 19, 2009 Ohhhhh good - the screaming thread!! Could do with a bloomin' good moan...... I am sore - as in morphine patches sore... ... and confused most of the time, and so flippin' exhausted I've not been able to stay in contact with many friends........... never mind keep up with forums............ am waiting for the oh-so-wonderful specialist team in Southampton as I've baffled all the consultants near me... only a short, 2-3 month wait, so I'm told. Got up from the sofa this morning, to put on the kettle. Both legs went into spasm, and I ended up saying a rather close hello to the carpet..... So, so painful.. ALL the time. Ended up in resus at A&E for five hours, couple of weeks ago. Not fun. Mothers ill AGAIN.... 2 hour conversation this morning, trying to talk her down from a horrific hallucination... And I've just listened to a message on my answer phone (didn't have the energy to answer the phone... She's dyeing ........ apparently........... again......... Oh, and it's my fault. Monkey has his annual review on Friday - I still haven't finished the report...... My mind wont focus. Feel like a ###### mum. I've just had to film monkeys tourettes - for his paediatrician. Watched it back, and am now sat here in tears. The tics are so violent, and upset him so much. Thoroughly, thoroughly FED UP!!!!!!!!!!!

NickyB Report post Posted April 19, 2009 oh, smiley My mum has bipolar disorder, and used to have the most horrible hallucinations (seem to be under control now ) - and yes, everything was always my fault. The only way I could deal with it was to tell myself that it was her condition talking, and not my Mum.

frogslegs Report post Posted April 19, 2009 Smiley, thinking of you. It is very difficult to be stuck in the middle (sandwich generation). (My mother in law has had last been moved to a care home for people with senile dementia after years of nightmare for us (phoning in the middle of the night for example)). Then at the same time having to care for a SEN child and everything! Do you have a network of friends/family? Take care of yourself <'> <'> Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Karen A Report post Posted April 26, 2009 I feel the need for a moan.Not ASD related at all. 30000 people ran the London marathon today.Some have not finished yet.I am not doing it myself.However I do respect people who are dedicated to training.I also admire people who work hard to raise money in sponsorship.I also think it is worth thanking the many people who gave up a Sunday to support people and hand out water. What I have a problem with is locals who celebrate the day by camping out at the local pubs from about 1100 as it is such a nice day.Some with children and toddlers. At 1700 police are now having to go in to marshall the now drunk individuals and encourage them to move on.I am not happy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mumble Report post Posted April 27, 2009 What I have a problem with is locals who celebrate the day by camping out at the local pubs from about 1100 as it is such a nice day. Yeah definitely - and not helped by the fact that every race guide I had in the local papers etc listed all the best pubs for the best views as if that is the only place you would want to go. I've moved now, but I used to live on a road the marathon went down with a pub at the end, so I totally understand what you mean. <'> Ooh, but well done to the Nutters who thought it would be a good idea to run 26 miles I knew a couple of people running this year and I have great admiration for what they did :clap: :balloon: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mumble Report post Posted April 30, 2009 Feeling really pants. I look like I've done ten rounds with Mr Tyson I could cope with bruising my arms and legs by hiding under hoodies (as in the garment, not a particular sector of society ), but unless I wear my hoodie back to front (which I would assume comes with an express ticket to the loonie bin (no offence meant to anyone in using that terminology)) I can't cover up my face and developing shiner.

Mumble Report post Posted May 1, 2009 Why do I bother? I'm not going to ask for help again. If you ask you reveal your weaknesses for all to see only to end up with the same outcome - no support when you really need it. Now everyone knows what a wimp and a wuss I am because I've said I need help so they'll think differently of me but I get no help. This is too much for me at the moment and people can't see that. How much do I have to scream "I need help" to get some support before it's too late. Surely it's better to give me help whilst I'm 'just coping' rather than let everything fall apart from where it will take longer to recover? But that's what's going to happen if I'm not given help - I am going to fall apart again and I really don't want to go back there. I walked most of the way home today (4 1/2 miles) because I couldn't cope with arguing with the bus driver about my ticket - I can feel that I'm on the slippery side of falling down rapidly.

Mumble Report post Posted May 1, 2009 Aaarrghhh, aarrghhh, grrrr, OK that's it, I give up. Stupid idiots can't even answer my simple questions. One day I'll learn that things don't change and there's no point even trying. One day I won't be so stupid to think that I might actually matter and that people who's job it is to help and support me might actually do that - because it's never going to happen. Anyone know where I can buy one of Temple Grandin's squeeze machines from cause I really want a proper hug right now and not to feel so ###### alone.

cactuslove Report post Posted May 3, 2009 fed up with people thinking they have some sort of right over my child and can give her the impression we are paranoid parents so now she is obsessed with her human rights and we are just being silly and over reacting to her behaviour.

frogslegs Report post Posted May 5, 2009 In our first flat the walls were dire so we used this special paper with a relief (there was quite a wide range of patterns in shops) and covered everything with it and then painted on top, it looked nice. You sound very ambitious! Now we live in a modern house but it still took my husband three weeks to paint the hallway, staircase and landing, mind you he had to paint 11 doors! I get to hear a wide range of swear words whenever he does anything like this. I hate it and he won't let me anywhere near a brush (don't know why really.. ). He once decided to paint the kitchen over Christmas, can you imagine cooking the roast in the middle of paint pots? You have all my sympathies!!!

frogslegs Report post Posted May 6, 2009 When we painted the hall five or six years ago, we started with red as it was the in colour at the time...we quickly had to stop because it seriously looked like someone had been murdered in the house.
