Quoting myself to say- now that I’ve sobered up a bit and can remember a bit more, I don’t think we were spiked and this was probably more due to lack of food and the fact neither of us have drank that heavily for a while. Still can’t believe I let myself get into such a state though!
Do you have a steam cleaner with a fine nozzle? That might help blast it loose.
In relation to the part of your post under the spoiler. You don't happen to suffer with migraines do you? The only reason I ask is that I have a weird type of migraine condition and one of the symptoms connected to it was that I'd (having never really suffered with pmt previously) become so suicidally depressed I couldn't get out of bed. This was only during the 24 hours before my period started and would happen suddenly like flicking a switch and lift just as quickly once my period began. It was incredibly frightening because it was so sudden and the feeling was overwhelming. Between that and severe ovulation pain I decided going on the depo injection was the only way to manage it.
Vocalzone throat pastilles are supposed to be good. I know stage actors/singers use them.Thanks both. It's so annoying as I don't do these sessions that often but when I do my throat feels awful for at least another day. I don't even need to talk loud or anythingseriously respect to those that do it every day as it is exhausting. But good to know it's fairly normal and not just me!
Is it definitely fake? Like it's not just the tester thing making you think so? I used to buy from, I think perfume direct, and some were box damaged, unboxed , some testers (especially if discontinued) etc buy they were real.
Would you consider doing an intensive week long course? A lot of people have a success with that.
Yeah you honestly never want to do meetings without a witness there because the other can spin it an make them out to be the victim
You definitely are not alone
I think it’s good to see that you are recognising that you’ve hit maximum capacity. I found when I started to see the same patterns and the same bad emotions coming back with the the overwhelm etc that it is nearly like a light bulb moment. Try some things out to see if they help. I find pulling back and spending time alone usually helps me initially, Altho it’s not always possible lol Counselling is great. I hope you get loads from it.Thank you for your reassuring words
I would think it could be the seal around the door? Ours started to crack and perish - you can buy replacements online and get someone to fit it. (Although for about a year I just put a towel down under the door to catch the drips).
What didn't you like about automatic?
I used to take mini packets of sunflower Ryvita & spread some lower fat Laughing Cow cheese triangles on them, filling & healthy. We had a fridge where I kept my cheese triangles.
I've talked to HR. They want me to test every morning but I'm ok to be there and no mention of masks. We have so many people ill at the moment it's crazy 🫨 not just Covid but other stuff as well.
only just catching up @Carapop but sending so much love to you, your family and your (wonderful sounding) mumI love and appreciate all displays of kindness and compassion. My mum is a big believer in the power of prayer. I have no faith of my own but I know that she would find comfort in it. She prayed for others so I’m more than happy for others to pray for her. Thank you

If there is a build up of soil/debris/leaves outside over the damp course/ footings, that might be a possible cause for the damp. You could try scraping it away from the house with a spade, then paint over that area inside and out with damp proof treatment.
This is a very personal choice and one you should make yourself. Weigh up the pro’s and cons.
Method and Ecover don’t beat Fairy IMO and I’ve not found an own brand to match, they’re usually cheaper but use more. I love the old dishmatic sponge thingy though. Rather than fill the sink (unless it really need a soak) I do a shallow sink, put the plates in to wet/mini soak then wash then with the dishmatic under a trickling running tap. The water that builds up from that I’ll then put the glasses in, as it’s deeper, and do them the same way. Still only a sink full of water but works well as they dry quicker being rinsed if bubbles. That’s if there’s not enough for the dishwasher Tbf
That high pitched screech goes right through me. I tell my friends with children as they can see me flinchI was honest scared to type something like this because I'd probably get hate for itbut I agree, wasn't OP that decided they should have a kid, personally my neighbours two kids who are older screech morning to night an it really pisses me off as the parents do absolutely nothing, they don't cry or anything just that high pitched screaming, I don't have kids just my neice but I also don't want other people's kids to be my problem
All the other people are middle aged and well behaved
