Hi all,

I've not been on for a while but this is because I've been making a few steps in the right direction. For one thing I stopped the citalopram as the tiredness that I felt from them was unreal so now I just excercise and eat more healthily which I find keeps my thought busy and gives me more get up and go.

Also as some of you know I have been in a very bad relationship for a long time of which was making me miserable. I thought that their was no way out of it because we have children together and I was miles from home, but a couple of weeks ago I had said to myself 'enough is enough'. I was soo miserable and the only person to give a crap about me was me, so the only one to change it was me. I new that I had to get away but felt guilty for some reason. I did though, I left him!! I'm now living with my kids at my mums house. It's a bit of queeze but hey I'm happy and the kids are happy.

I look at my life like a shoe box (daft I know but it will make sense) and I like all of my things to be originised, but alot of things in my shoe box weren't ie my relationship so I just took them out. I decided that everything that made my shoebox untidy or didn't fit just had to go so that I could keep a lid on things. I told my councellor this and she thought it was great that I was making soo many possitive changes and off my own back that she wants to reduce how offten I go to see her! [8D] .

I really feel like I'm moving forward with my life, I do know that what I'm doing isn't a cure for my issues and problems but it helps and like I say it's a step in the right direction. I mean a year ago this month was when I had my first PA and I thought the world was coming to an end and that my life was over and here I am now a year on and doing millions better. Alot of my progress has been down to having you guys int he begining to help me understand and realise I wasn't the only one, what a difference that can make to someone like me. You have all been wonderfull in your support and I just want to say THANK YOU!! I know that I have been difficult in the past and some of you aren't my biggest fan but I even want to say THANK YOU to you guys too for putting up with me. I have been thru soo many hard times of late and have been unbarable. Hopefully all this is about to change and things will happen the way I'm hoping them to.

For all of you out there reading this that have the same issues as me, just realise that it's YOU that has to change and take life buy the horns and go in the direction that will make you happy. At the end of the day life is way to short, live life don't just exist. Get out their make friends, socialise, go to that party with all those people, go to the job interview that you dont' think you will get, just do all these things for the experiance if nothing else. I dont' want to when I come to die have a belly full of regrets of the things that I coulda and shoulda done. It's all about PMA (Possitive Mental Attitude) if you approach things possitively then you will find that it will be a good experiance but if your negative then as you know it wont even be an experiance cause you just wont go. Be possitive!

I really do wish all of you the best and trust me there is a light at the end of the tunnel you just have to find out where.

Take Care all of you

Claire

Oh and lucy I'm SORRY!! I really especially wish you all the best and hope that you to find your light at the end of the tunnel.

Thanks guys for your support :D.

Today I get my stuff put into storage and am going to see about a house starting to get a little nervous but I think that is because I have like a few hours before I need to pack up the last 6 years of my life into boxes for them to go into a big storage container. All for the greater good though.

Cheers again all

Well thats all my stuff in storage and on monday I hand over the keys and sign tenancy over to him. I really can't wait till that is done as it is the last thing to tie me to him and that city.

Still no word from the housing agencies, I think that will probably be a good few weeks yet. I can wait tho. As yet no regrets and still feeling possitive so that has to be good :). All I need is some decent weather up here and my world is just rosy lol!

Cheers all of you xxx

Hey lucy,

If I were you I would take one of the older ones based on the fact that these new ones you can't swing a cat!!! But yes that does mean that I don't get my new house, ray is going to see if he can still get it so that he can have the kids over night - LMAO not on his nelly!!! I don't even trust the man to let the dog out and give him water he wouldn't get my kids even if I died!!! lol!!!

Just a little update, been really busy getting things sorted. I have a house that I'm going to view after the 3rd of July, I'm pretty sure I'm gonna take it as it's in my desired location. I have found out about all the help I can get from places to carpet and furnish my new place due to my circumstance and it's great what help their is! Things are looking on the up everyday!

Ty to all of you for your support.

I'm still waiting on my house!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:(:(:([V]

The housing only got the keys back last friday!! Everthing just seems to being crap for me!

My up beat attitude to all of this has most certainly left the building. I even made the mistake of believing that **** and his lies and taking him back, he's gone again now! I think he just wanted one last time where he could kick me in the teeth to be honest!!!

I now get harrassing phone calls from him day and night saying that he's gonna end it cause he doesn't have me and the kids!! Even though he was the one who walked out after only 2 weeks of his last chance!! I know I have brought all of this onto myself by taking him back, what the hell was I thnking?! to come so far and to let that **** get the better of me!

I just want him out of my life forever, but how do Ido that? He's just always gonna be there, waiting!

Things are really far from good for me at the moment. Infact I'm probably at an all time low, my anxiety is back with avengence I'm tense and uptight. I can't sleep! I'm comfort eating like their is a food shortage upon us!!

Things just never go good for long eh!

Just needed to vent so cheers to whoever had read this

Well everyone, it's now 3 and a bit years since my first PA, 2 years since I left that waste of space.

I've succesfully gone a year without a full blown panic attack, have had baby number 4!! crazy I know!! and am married :D

I have just kept pushing myself, and trying to do the best for me and my children. Thats not to say that I don't have my bad days. Been having a few of late, but that could of been all the stresses that came with the wedding.

Onwards and Upwards is defo the way I'm going :)
