Hey, don't apologise man! This is a community too. A lot of us spend a lot of time on our own so it's an ideal place to share our moans and groans and laughs and joys. You go ahead and have a good grump....I for one am listening..... Mention christmas though and I'll bloody well join ya!
Humbug!!
 
Have you thought about voluntary work...thats what i do. Some can be done from home just as you are doing now.

I dont know your illness but theres probably a forum on the web and you can speak to other sufferers.

At one point i was involved with 10 various voluntary groups..ive cut it down to 5 this year as I dont seem to have enough time on my hands anymore...

It gave my self esteem a huge boost and its a nice feeling to know that people care about you too.
 
Oldish Hippy, I'm sorry you're feeling like this, and wish there was something I could do to make it better for you. (Provided my husband was OK with it!!!) THis is such a depressing time of year, especially if you're not into Christmas; it seems to be compulsory to be merry, and you're dubbed an old misery if you're not. At least the solstice is not too far away, then the days will be getting longer again!

Moan away as much as you like cos I'm well used to it with Derek around - we'll all listen, but don't mention the C word too much!!

KP x x x x x x x x xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx!! (And not a bit of mistletoe in sight!!):heart::heart::heart::wave:

In the 70s I was alone for 8 years after my partner died, the first christmas was heartbreaking, I vowed not to spend another one alone, I joined a divorced and seperated club and on christmas day I used to hold a party for people like myself, I put on the food and people bought their own drink, I got the T.V. out of the room and the carpet ready for dancing, I had some wonderful parties :D and so many people shook my hand on leaving saying thank you so much, if it wasn't for you doing this I would have had a very lonely christmas, I met my new husband like this, I am out of touch now but do they still have clubs for single people? if not are there friends in the same position that you could invite round? you don't have to put on much maybe a few sausage rolls and mince pies, but if you are feeling low paste a smile on your face and try to make the conversation light, Happy Christmas bambi 2
 
Hello Oldish Hippy
I hope that you have had some less bad days since your post. At least you know now you can talk about it and other people will understand and care.
I'm concerned that you are not able to sleep so much because of pain. Have you discussed this with your doctor? You don't say where you live but most large hospitals have a Pain Clinic where you should be able to get more help in managing your pain. Don't feel you have to suffer, if your doctor won't help then try another one. There are other things you can do besides pain killers. For example have you tried a new bed? Hope you find some good solutions.
All the best, Teffy

got a brill doc
just been bought new mattress few weeks ago have pain patches they work butnumb it down but still not good somedays just having a bad patch has been discussed with doc but wait til igo to frenchay to get it sorted hopefully
 
Hippy you definitely aren't the only one. I've suffered from depression for 2 years, and this is the worst time of year. Especially when all your friends are married or have kids.
Maybe we can arrange a xmas day meet with a secret santa!!! It is on a weekend this year after all!!!!
(Although not sure my van will be ready in 4 days!)

So glad to hear you have a good relationship with your doctor and that you are making some positive moves. If you can improve the pain situation you might feel a bit better about life. I'm fortunate not to have too many bad days but when I do, sometimes I get very depressed and sometimes I get really bad-tempered!! :mad2:
Can you get out for walks? I find even a little walk outside can be very helpful in making me feel better.
So you're in the Bristol area? My youngest son lives in Bristol but he's just come up to stay for Christmas. I do hope your Christmas turns out better than you feared. I will be thinking of you.:goodluck:
 
GREAT IDEA ABOUT A XMAS DAY MEEET :cheers:( found the caps key:raofl:)
Bit late for this year I am the town Santa every year here in Brandon but plan on giving it up after this year. My last performance, for want of a better word, will be Christmas Eve at Tesco. but I am up for it next god willing. I have a large house that could be used. and even if my planned full timing in a van come to fruition before then would be willing to meet up somewhere and play Santa again.
Dont know what I am doing Xmas day this year realy. It is either Bawdsey beach or The Stones.
I have loads of invited from family and friends but dont particularly like that kind of Xmas do. I have a good invite to Merthyr tydfil which would be OK but a long drive for me after a hard day work. especially as to drive that far I should have to leave the tabs off for 24 hours. I also have an invite in Worle. but htey are church ministers and that is a struggle for me to cope with. specially as they are both women and gay. I always look at them and think "What a waste":shag:
They did get me a good pressy this year though. But even then, I think they misunderstood me when they asked what I wanted for Xmas. I said . "I wana a watch". and they bought my a Rolex.:lol-049::lol-053:
