    Not a lot to say. Just with all the people I know, with the people in my house, with the people online I feel like I'm distant from them. Like I don't belong. I'm hoping this is my brain shutting itself down and I'll gradually just fade out.

    That perceived distance is horrible. You're not alone though Scrim. You most certainly do belong, even if your mind tries to make you believe otherwise.

    Scrim, the loneliness is what I hate the most.. It's gotten very bad of late after spending time with a mate abroad, she's hurting too. If I had three wishes the first would be no more pain..

    Does any of that bother you Grem or are you happier that way?

    I'd prefer if I could cry a little.. I've only done so at two funerals.. Not bothered about colleagues really.. What I wish I had was my good friends in this country.

    I've cried in front of colleagues and classmates more times than I care to remember :o

    Got lots of self-care stuff done today. Tidied my room (a bit), put on a wash, planned meals for the week and did a Tesco order. The most productive I've been in about a week or so. Most happy about the meal planning. I really need to do that all the time if I want to kick this ED's ass.

    Hugs to all of you who are feeling ****. Make sure and do something nice for yourself this evening. You deserve it.

    Always here if you need a chat, just send an oul PM.

    Crying in front of colleagues is something I'm concerned about. It's a fear in itself now it seems.

    Well done with taking care of business there today EI! :)

    I've cried in front of people I worKed with.
    In fact total meltdowns from the pressure of fast working pace and targets.

    I never got on with anyone I worked with well I mean I'd no one to talk to.
    was the outcast.

    I've been told not to take up full time employment by doctors. I'd like to get to a place where I can get out n do a course though.

    I've a couple ideas in mind.

    I'm so sorry you feel this way scrim. Cry all you can it's good to get the emotion out. Is there anything in particular made you feel this way?

    Im not suited to stressful working enviornments as i found out to my cost this week or being around people in general. People just stress me out. But i do like helping people especially people who are vulnerable. Just my social skills let me down.

    I am a big crier. It can be a good energy release sometimes.

    I get really bad back pain easily. I'm wondering if it is stress related. I have been sitting at my desk studying for about an hour and my back got so tense and sore. It's very annoying.

    Hang on in there Scrim. Things can't stay like this. This will all fade and happiness will be found.
