I think we've all got one Sue :-)

I can relate to that Aunty Sue.......to the extent that I even got bored THINKING about them.....let alone talking about them...but you can't seem to help yourself.....even though you KNOW they're not worth your time or effort. xx

Oh you've been talking to my sister then, TW?

Sue xx

That's the way it goes Sue, then it's only your problem because you're the only one who gives a damn about it LOL (and somehow you're made to feel like the one in the wrong for it)

You do get a bit self-absorbed when you have a problem - I think we all do. I have a problem with a family member at the moment and sometimes I think it's all I can talk about. The silly thing is? The other person couldn't care less.

Sue xx

It sure is TW xx

When you're facing your own demons you dont' always feel like looking at others lol.

Muffy, you've had a tough time lately, and a big worry, but you're already coming out the other end. You're in a new period of adjustment now, but you know what?

You lost nothing at all. You have your house, your family, your health, your animals, and you've learned to cook! You have as much now as you did before this run of bad luck, in the way of material things, and personally you've gained a wealth of experience, and knowledge that no money can buy.

What don't kill you makes you stronger. Ain't that the truth?

Absolutely Kay......compared to some I need a kick up the jacksy for being stressed in the first place........nothing I'm facing is life threatening or dangerous.......just scary xx

muffs all you have to do is compare,,,compare to what some have faced or facing and some stuff melts into not being as bad as you think,x

It's all character forming I guess isn't it.......maybe my character was in need of a drastic makeover LOLOLOL

You're right Kay.......I'll remember this time of my life and if I can use it to help anyone who needs it in the future I will........I've done it before with previous bad times and hope I've made SOME difference.

I AM moaning a bit Sue I think .......but I don't mean to........I'm just a bit self absorbed and stressy at the mo lol It WILL pass. I know it will.

Rach......I THOUGHT I'd done my *OMG I've got to face this* stage a few years back but it just goes to show there's always room for another boulder to fall on your head lololol

Ann......that's very true xx

now now muffers,,,,,,,,,,,when you get out the other side soon,,,,anyone else comes along with same worries then you can take them under your wing and say you been there done it and give a little advise,,,,,,,,,right,,,,,,,,,youll be well experienced,,:}}}}}}

you been told havnt you,!!:}

I totally agree hun I too seem to have STRESS STRESS STRESS but I just think its part of being a grown up and until recently I hadn't seen myself as one and maybe you feel the same?

I don't think you're moaning Muffy - I think you're reflecting. That's a healthy thing to do. Going over how we feel in our own minds and working it out for ourselves and realising that perhaps things are quite as bad as we thought. Sharing how you feel makes you realise that you're not alone.

Sue xx

But think of the positive aspect. You can come on here and rant and nobody minds, everybody listens and supports and you get it out of your system. I so wish I had had this when we were younger and hit all the bad phases.

I'm very lucky Aunty Sue in that I'm watched very carefully by those who know me and they step in and batter me round the head to take help before I even have to ask !!!

Dunno why I'm moaning really......I know I'm luckier than some.....just a bit stressed.

Slap me and tell me to get a grip.....as Amanda says......staying down just isn't an option......xx

Just remember Muffy - if it does get difficult and you find you can't cope then ask for help.

Sue xx

it is hard to stay posative, but i think you have to for your own sanity lololol

altho u and sanity kinda dont go muffers
>>>>>>>>>>.runs lol

I think at some point in life you get stuck between a rock and a hard place......it has happened to us all and no doubt will again ....such is life .

It does get boreing ( and frustrating ) if every time you pick yourself up again some other " thing " comes along to knock you down......but staying down just isn't an option is it .

I do really know that I'm not badly off in the scheme of things....just want a bit of a break from STRESS !!!!!!

Dawnie........you're right....in a perverse way I'm relishing the challenge of making ends meet and quite enjoying it in a way !!!

TW it worked itself out before and i'm sure it will again......I just want it to stop NOW !!! (but i have a horrid feeling it's not over yet!!!)

Awww bless him Stray........we're always in such a hurry to grow up....if only we realised how lovely it is being a child......

Mrs G.......actually I blame Hayley too !!!

*glares* at Hayley for calling me a boot !! lol

Don't you think that it depends on what else is happening? When you're breezing along, all chipper and cheerful, you just deal with any "problems" and probably don't think about them too much.

If you're a bit down - something has dragged you down - then ANY problem becomes like a BIG problem so they all seem much harder to deal with.

Einstein's theory of relativity maybe? Or maybe it's like eyeball stew - you fish one off the top (and flip it under the table) and another one floats to the surface!

But it's all relative ... and therefore what your mum would have called "a phase". It WILL pass.
