You have every right to be stressed Spangly I don't think many people would cope with what you are doing.Morning everyoneGreat idea for a new thread Chita @Chita.
I'm getting myself a bit worked up this week, as after looking after my Mum for 6 months since my Dad died in January (she has very severe mental health problems and has undergone ECT during this period and threatened suicide nearly every day!) I've finally had to relinquish her care to a 24 hour carer at home. They are due to start mid week but we haven't even been introduced to them yet. I've got all sorts of worries going through my mind from trying to keep her Covid safe to will the carer simply 'Be kind'? I've been trying to keep my business afloat at the same time but it has had to take a back seat in the last few weeks - it will be strange having the time to get back on with life again.
The H&M thread was the only bit of light relief I had - so thanks you lovely lotI promise to try and not make it all about Me..me..me!
I bring victoria sponge and decaf tea (sorry - caffeine give me the jitters!)
Chin up girl, have a glass of something alcoholic and just say bollocks to misfortune it ain't gonna get the better of me or look at someone you really dislike and all the things you would like to say to them.
I don't suffer from MH problems but when I am pissed off, like today that is what I do, this should be renamed the duck you forum, go on do it and let it all take a back seat

Yay you found it.
I called it Tea and Sympathy because
'Tea' or 'T' has become the indicator for 'Truth'
so we can come in here and tell our truth about how we feel about anything.
And the sympathy bit is because a lot of posters are struggling and we can all support each other with laughter, anger, banter, ranting........... whatever.
And of course, your sweary posts and incontinent Ginger Tom stories are just the tonic to make us laugh.
We can change the title every 50 pages

I love cats too and they are very calming but my 3 are cantankerous old bastards and if they could give me the finger they would
.. I do swear quiet a lot but am going to give you a couple of tongue twisters to make you giggleAfter me:
He rattles his bottles in rollockses yard
Old Mother Ruttercutts Rough Cut Punt
Tell yourself when you feel collar and cuff, that it is a cunning stunt and to feck right off
Well, the bad news is, there IS a Weight Watchers in-person meeting open in my nearest town so now I'm going to have to bloody well go, aren't I?
Oh bugger.
Oh bugger.
Feel free to speak, swear, curse at whoever or whatever, if you don't know many swear words you can learn some on here.
I don't know how people are feeling and to be honest I am really shocked at how many out there suffer. Let it all out on here and I call it the duck it forum
I have never dealt with anyone with mh problems but, if you were someone that I knew I would say the same things.
Local rescue charities are desperate for someone to walk their dogs or just pet them or if you prefer cats you can just be a cat cuddler enquire at cats protection league or others, there is always someone or something out there that welcomes your help..
I am blunt but very caring and just go for something else that needs your attention
Let it out Professor it all helps

And she has a daughter high up in the Police force who has to be called ma'am.
It's only you that thinks that, get the slap on dye your hair put so mething comfortable but nice on and get out there. Your friends probably have the same problem as you.
After lock down ended I looked in the mirror and thought, duck this followed by slap and a hair cut all very easily done
When my Daughter's saw me for the first time they said duck me Mother sort yourself out you fat old slapper!! and I did.
Hope today has gone better for you.
Well I have been on anti-depressants for 45 years. By the sound of it, I am not alone. Some of you will have had βOh go buy yourself a new dress, that will make you feel better β when the last thing you want to do is get out of bed never mind dress up and go out somewhere. But cannot imagine there will be that sort of advice on here.
New dresses are all well and good but with all this lockdown comfort eating hardly anything will bloody fasten.
Ive gone up a size.
I am psyching myself up to doing something about it.
I will probably take as much time to sort it as the Royal Family are doing to sort out the traitorous Harry.
But I have to finish eating this toasted fruit teacake with butter first.
Bloody ridiculous she pushed her luck the other day with me especially since her partner has just been promoted to Chief Inspector.
Told her to duck off and that I would post baby pics on Facebook of her as a baby minus her knickers, that worked Ma'am, cheeky cow they don't get one over on me.
The old fucker indoors is like Victor Meldrew and he gets called a mucking bleep as well
Let's all go to Montishito and stay with the arseholes?? 2 days with them and we will realise how untainted we are, now those two are really mad, bad and totally fucked.
My brothers ex is a witch, all the nasty messages she sends to my brother and my mum and Dad is pure projection, she judges people by her own actions, she calls my mum and alkie, yet before lockdown was in the pub all the time, so maybe that's what the messages are, hope you are ok x
Ah now I want cake
! Get yourself a fitbit type thing, make yourself reach whatever goal you set yourself! We are here to urge you on. The teacake sounds delish enjoy and move on! 
Since I have got older I too suffer sometimes and it is delibating and the nights are so long, I go downstairs and read until I feel tired, doesn't always work but it's better than just laying there.
I don't suffer with mental health issues, but I do work in a mental health hospital, I'm not a nurse or a doctor, but I sympathise and only wish you all well xx
I will only get a fitbit if they make an edible one.Ah now I want cake
I don't know how to help those who can't sleep.
Now we have this 'off topic' discussion thread, maybe those who are wide awake can keep each other company in here and then those of us who sleep like a log [and snore like a warthog] will have some posts to read when we surface in the morning.

Omg, coming back to this thread tonight has really cheered me up!
@Nuttynana - honestly, you should have your own Agony Aunt column! No nonsense, practical and sweary advice - just what we all need
Yep, decided to try and lose some weight - thanks for the motivation everyone. I did lose 3 stone before when I did SW but then I had a bit of an anxious period in my life and put it all on again. Decided to try and lose 1 stone in 2 months this time - I think that's do-able!

Thank you Chita for creating this soothing thread. Thought I'd slide in and join you lovely folk. Having shielded through all the lockdowns, and deciding to retire early from a job I loved, I find myself a bit paranoid and reluctant to get out and about. I have a chronic condition which deteriorated over lockdown and am now only able to get out and about with a mobile scooter and only when necessary and I've built up the courage to venture out. One thing that's been a godsend is my kindle and I've recently joined a lovely choir ( I can't really sing but they didn't seem to mind 
) . Tattle has been a lifesaver too, some of you articulate Tattlers have really cheered me up. Thank you for listening to my Ted talk .
