    sorry about your friend lith. It's very hard for the rest of us to understand and we always think that maybe there was something we could have done to change things
    But truth is you can't prevent it even if you could follow them around every second It leaves you with an empty feeling that doesn't ever quite go away. If only you'd known but you couldn't know they usually went to great lengths to hide it from you.

    I totally get you MT. I suffer with my nerves terribly too.

    Whatever you have to do tomorrow, maybe get there really early so that you can have some quiet time to yourself to calm down.

    I know you can get through this. Best of luck MT xxx

    Change is always hard to deal with Mozzie, but as you say it is for the better. Look on the positive of what is happening & this time next week you will be wondering what all the fuss was about.

    Been through a lot of changes with work over past 2 years, moved to new team just over a year ago & had to train someone in a few months after. Not only did I have to learn the ropes, but also show someone else.

    Came through it somehow with no fckups of note.


    Edit: not trying to detract or make your situation as less important Mozzie btw.

    you can do it mozz! having been though a lot of change in the last few years it is rather scary, but if it's for the better it will be good. Plenty of positive thinking/taking one day at a time/deep breathing has helped me, everyone is different so may not work for you.

    Having self esteem crisis.


    People are doing my head in.


    And my Dad who is already ill now needs cataract surgery next year. He can't have it now because he needs to wait until he gets better from a more serious illness.

    Someone who I think should be there is being a jerk and is really testing my emotional boundaries.

    On the up side. My brother is an amazing and sweet person. My mate got engaged to a sweet girl. I am going out hopefully this weekend with great people. I have really great girlfriends who seem to think I am worth caring about for some reason and whenever I feel bad help me feel better about myself. And my Mom is inspirational.

    Also my dog is the ****ing ****! He is a cool dude! All I need is a kitten.

    xxxx hugs all!

    My own little brood is a lack of confidence/doubt about my writing, it annoys cos when writing I wonder is what I'm writing is actually good enough for selling. Then I get into this circle of being afraid to write in case it isn't and I end up getting nowhere! :(

    Anytime you want to send some stuff to someone I'm here I love sharing writing stuff.

    I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND! I keep entering writing competitions for short stories I got on the shortlist for two of them. Short stories are great they tend to be finished before you get the nerves too much!.

    I have much more confidence in non fiction writing for some reason.

    Well hang in there you are better than you think! :)

    Aww God I know what that's like:(....had an unbearable one about a month ago and had to have an emergency appointment with the dentist to take it out.......was excruciating pain!! The only thing i found that relieved the pain was
    gargling several times a day with mouthwash and some nurofen. Hope you get it sorted soon kiss!!;)

    Need a bit of a rant to get this off my chest

    I'm not sure if this is just me or not... but when you have a relationship or friendship with someone I find it awful annoying that I have to keep things going, this includes chats and suggesting things to do. In my experience it should be a two way street, a bit from them and a bit from me. Lately it's all me that's making the effort:(

    btw I don't mean any of you lot, you're all great:) <3

    Smiler, I feel like that in real life, like I should always stick my oar in if I want to talk to anyone.. Now I don't want to always be the one opening conversation, I don't know if I'm interrupting or, in my more paranoid moments, if I'm wanted at all.
