    How you feeling?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,835 ✭✭✭✭cloud493


    Rather sad unfortunately. Yourself?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,805 ✭✭✭jammstarr


    Is it possible to totally reinvent yourself?

    Was good, but various decisions to make are driving me up the wall. They don't affect me really, but the consequences for other people are potentially dire.

    Anything in particular pulling you down?

    You're not at all. Your a lovely person who deserves to be happy.

    And nothing personally to be down about. Just feeling absolutely hopeless.

    If you have health insurance, get your GP to refer you to the Dean clinic in St. Pats, no idea though what the waiting list is. I was referred on to it after spending time as an in patient and have to say its brilliant. My only gripe is the wait time when you have an appointment, just because you are pencilled in for 2:00 pm doesn't mean you be seen at that time (bring a good book with you), in fairness my consultant is a work horse from what I've seen she literally lives in there.

    Either way don't look on at as a two month wait, you got an appointment in two months, is there anything you could do in the meantime? Maybe try the aware meetings?

    Thanks for input, i'm going to try stay local to galway though, also, no insurance nor any hope of any due to ongoing and worsening physical problem. I'm not even sure what i want/need that's what i'm hoping will be cleared up at appointment - just finding it all far too confusing... :(

    FINALLY I got a phone call about talk therapy with the HSE. I'm kinda in shock. It's been just over a year.

    You ever heard that story "Footprints" about the guy who has a dream. I don't want to get talking about higher powers though, I have my own set of beliefs; raised a catholic but took a pick'n'mix of beliefs to figure what I believed. My mam is quiet religious and constantly tells me she's praying for me, it used to pi$$ me right off but eventually I realised it didn't harm me and was her way of saying she cared.

    Hope everyone is doing good, I'm having a meh sort of week, but looking forward to the weekend after next, heading away climbing!!

    Veyron, you may be better asking in the banking and insurance threads, you din't have to say why you are sick just that you are.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,805 ✭✭✭jammstarr


    Regarding higher powers I wouldn't have a clue what to believe if anything.

    What's up kaching?


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Regional West Moderators Posts: 59,556 Mod ✭✭✭✭Gremlinertia


    Hope you're not too down Kaching. Feelin it myself at the moment, the storm outside feels like a reflection of what's going on in my head, still, will look at it as a temporary manifestation, but it will mean a long night.

    Feeling so up and down of late..Down at the moment. Really crashed this evening. I might be looking at my life from the wrong perspective, but my friends seem to be dwindling away by the new-time:(
    I've been a real giver in most of my friendships and it cuts deeply when people don't want to extend a hand at all.
    I do have a wonderfully supportive friend and I know it's important to keep focused on the positives. It's been a bad few days and it's not getting any better. I know it will with time.
    Hope everyone else is doing okay,x


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,835 ✭✭✭✭cloud493


    Has to get better with time doesn't it?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 337 ✭✭girlonfire


    Yes, it does.
    I'm feeling so negative and angry about the whole thing at the moment. I just want to sleep and hopefully my attitude will be better tomorrow and I can be a bit more proactive

    How are you feeling Cloud?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,835 ✭✭✭✭cloud493


    Has something gone on to make you feel like that? More so I mean.

    Nothing in particular. I'm becoming so tired of the constant ups and downs. Constantly trying to make myself appear on top of things is draining. I've tried to talk to some friends about how I've been feeling but it's been brushed under the carpet. It feels very hurtful, knowing that I've been there for them through thick and thin because I love them. I didn't know they'd react this way. I'm still me, y'know.
    Anyway, sorry for the rant. Sorry to hear you're not feeling well. Have you tried reading something light/uplifting? Sometimes that helps me. I feel silly suggesting something like that given how you're feeling, but it doesn't matter what it is so long as it helps.

    Aye I know what you mean about fair weather mates. You really do find out who cares and who doesn't in bad times :) Just keeping going, night is darkest before the dawn and all that.

    I am trying. Doesn't appear to be working, but maybe tomorrow will be better :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,566 ✭✭✭Gillo


    That's a great way of putting it cloud- fair weather friends. I don't really have anyway I can talk to, one friend who's there if I need him although his solution of we'll get hammered and forget about it isn't ideal.

    On the up side, there's an organisation I'm involved in outside of work, I'd a meeting with them tonight, at the end one of the lads took me aside to suggest putting me forward for promotion. That's not really the right word to use but it saves me typing a really long post.

    Night time is hard, alone with my thoughts, odd how time of day effects. How is everyone keeping?

    I haven't gone to an aware meeting in a month or two, might seem a bit cheap to just turn out again out of the blue for these.
