If it's not one thing it's another and if I'm really lucky it's lots of things all at once! where/when does it end? I don't want to be scared anymore! I hate that I'm so weak and pathetic!

    no one is pathetic, weak / misunderstood i can go along with, you need to see ur GP, im sure u knws the drill,

    its hard to fight being scared, i believe my medication helps ease this,

    try not to let things get on top of you where u feel it all happens at once,

    a new term ive been introduced too, is if u cant do anything about it, stick it in the f**k it bucket,

    all the best

      Thank you for your reply.

      Believe it or not I used to say f*** it a lot!

      Family and friends used to say I was so laid back that they were surprised I didn't fall over....things have literally flipped to the opposite now and not sure how to reverse it back. Yes I know the drill, I have appointments coming up in next couple of weeks.

      Thank you again for your reply X

    Hi Dondon you have come on a lot saying you are 'weak'  and 'pathetic'  and the more people say you are not the more you say you are.   I am going to try reverse logic - ok you are weak and pathetic.  So what?  Big deal.   Accept it and learn to deal with it.   Bev x

      Hi Bev, to be honest I tend not to look at my previous posts but yes you're probably right! It is something that I'd say and often but only because I believe it to be true. It's just something completely unrelated to how I feel had come up and I don't know how to deal with it, I know I sound like "poor me" but I'm

      Just worried that's all, I'm sorry, it's just me venting as usual! I don't really expect replies X

      Hi Dondon the point I am making is maybe it would help you to accept you are weak and pathetic,  and understand that we can all be at times.   I am feeling the same at the moment as have 'people' issues and don't know how to stop myself thinking about them or deal with them.  I feel like sh*te.   I am weak and pathetic for a time but that's ok you know.  

      If you try and stop concentrating on giving yourself labels (whether they are right or wrong) then you would have more time to think about how to deal with things which are stressing you out!   Or is it avoidance thereapy?   Concentrating on self given labels just makes your situation worse. 

      I have said different things to you from everyone else - maybe this approach will work for you?   Think about what I have said please.   I want you to start thinking a bit and stop just emoting and running yourself down.   I'm not giving up on you though,  so understand that love.  Bev xx

      Hi Dondon of coure you weren't rude to me!  Where did you get that idea from silly billy?  smile  If anything I was to you but am trying a different tack with you now.   It clearly doesn't work people disagreeing with you so I am agreeing with you,  and saying accept it,  feel the fear,  then deal with it from there.  

      When you feel weak and pathetic try asking yourself why you are.   Is it because of the drinking?  Or because you can't cope?    If you keep calling yourself names then you are feeding your fears and worries.   Try thinking of something positve to add to the 'I'm weak and pathetic'.  Ie I am weak and pathetic coz I didn't get out of bed until late.  Try following this with a positive - 'Well I did get out of bed in the end'.   Get the point I am making.  Try and make a conscious effort to do this - it is hard at first but gets easier with practise.    Bev x

    Come on dondon, there's nothing weak or pathetic about having to fight with your mind everyday, you're strong and brave! You're a survivor! You've not given in, you're still here to fight another day!

    Even though I don't know you, I've seen the posts of support and care you give others, you're a lovely, kind and caring person, cut yourself some slack. 😉

    Xx

      I thought that's what this forum was for? A place to say what you're feeling, a place to turn to when you can't say things to loved ones? I'm sure if you felt that well supported, you wouldn't need to even be on here! Don't apologise, don't worry about it, you'll make yourself even worse 😉

      You don't need to ever apologise for posting on here.

      But if you don't feel up to responding that's fine with everyone as we know how you feel.

      Take care and just know we are out here and thinking of you and willing you on xxxxx

    Thank you, you're all really kind but that's just it...i do feel worse! Feel like a bigger idiot now than when I first posted..this is why I don't like to read the things I write as I dwell a lot on what I write and the replies that I get. I'm weird! I know! What I need is a place to vent/write things that nobody, including me can read back!........fml!!!

      Please, please don't feel bad.  This forum is here for when you can't say how you are feeling to anyone else.  You also know when you post here that many of us will have felt like you, so they understand and can maybe help in some way.

      You are known and loved on here Dondons, I would worry if I didn't see you posting.......even if it was to have a good old moan.

      Take care, I hope things start to look brighter soon.

      Pat xxxxxxx
