It’s good you’ve got a friend to go with you on Monday, you might feel alone, but you’re not

Hi Sarah welcome to the group!

I know, think it’s Christmas and the negative impact it can have on people. We need to feel wanted and loved, but we won’t get that off everyone.

Yea vinyl takes some beating

You can always come here and share your ups n downs. We all been there and will continue to do so. Keeping busy does help to a certain point and distracts your brain.

Griefs a rollercoaster especially when you don’t know which one you’re grieving for. Things like this definitely help though, bottling things up is never good for you. Hope everyone’s day is good today !

Spent majority of day in bed, had a sleepless night with Thalidomide again. Won’t be the first time, it’s happened on many occasions. Not been back on it long, 2 weeks if that.

That’s the crap thing the things they have to give you have not v nice side effects, wouldn’t it be nice if treatment didn’t make you feel crap

So everything today is an effort kind of feels the day has passed me by and everything is too much effort today for me.

There’s no harm in resting when you are feeling really worn out, your body must need it

Hopefully tomorrow is a different day, totally understandable you will get days when you can’t be bothered, the days you can be bothered you can do things

Just got back from the hospital, back in on Friday. I can leave Thalidomide tonight, I don’t know about anyone else here, but for me Christmas was a set back. I was telling my doctor about the negative impact social media had on me over christmas. Not really a nice time of the year, I look forward to the nights getting lighter.

Social media can be deceptive though, we don’t know what goes on behind the photos. Some people use social media to show the world they are happy when in fact they are not. You will be happy one day too

@Malcolm2 your so right it’s very rare people
post all the crap going on in their lives, when your headspace isn’t the best it’s better to avoid it, that’s just my opinion everyone’s different

I have depression so I know what it’s like to feel you have to put a brave face on and hide things.

Yeah me too that’s why I avoid it as much as possible

@ Everyone

I don’t put up anything too personal people I know maybe. Social Media does show you stupidity is on the rise and increasing. I find it a insult to my intelligence! If course none of it really matters I got more important stuff to concentrate on. Animals may well over take us as the intelligent species at this rate. Weather looking bad for tomorrow, sad that Scotland has had to cancel a lot of their celebrations.
