General chit chat thread.

I can't talk to people though to make friends and it gets me down at times and I can't change. I feel like a hermit.

Your not alone Claire. I am the same, I find it really hard to talk to people I don't know. I am at home alone everyday until hubby gets in & I get so lonely.

Thanks for all your best wishes everyone, my DH is still in hospital awaiting a few more tests!! it's been such a long few day's They have been treating him for a chest infection and fluid on his pancreas, he had pancreatits almost 4yrs ago and was extremely sick but the Dr told him today that he seems to be having frequent bouts of pancreatits and they now need to find the cause, hence more investigations.

I find it hard to talk to people/make friends aswell. It was one of the reasons I started doing agency work, and although i'll never be a social butterfly I can 'get by' much better than I used to in work situations.
FWIW, from reading your posts on here i've always thought we'd get on well in 'real life'

Thank you, though I am rather strange in real life

Yeah I know how that feels, I seem to spend a lot of time at home on my own. I have my DD to get out the house with however don't have anyone to have a grown up chat with.

Feel fed up anyway today!!

I am fed up of feeling lonely all the time.

I'm going back to uni next month,.

Hey Girls, I can totally understand how you feel. I am my mum's carer, so I go over to see her most days. I've noticed over the last year or so, how much I miss working and socialising. I've got a few close friends, but we don't go out as much as we used to. Thank goodness for the DIS and FB, as I would probably feel very lonely too

I agree Mandy, I spend lots of time on the DIS each day as I feel like I have lots of friends here.

I agree as well ,I love the dis and all the lovely friends I have here, you have all helped me and my family through some really tricky times

 

[saratogagirl]

I so agree, great friends, when Ian was kept in hospital last year, I told m DIS friends before I told his mum - whoops!! I hate being in the house on my own, but I got lots of lovely text messages through the night from Disers to check I was ok, true friends ..

 

[thelittlemermaid83]

Claire, i know how you feel. I find it impossible to speak to people i dont know when i go out. I can just about manage talking to the mums at the school without freaking out.

I'm hoping i havent rubbed my anxietys off on DD as she keeps telling me she is scared of people.

 

[thelittlemermaid83]

oops double post

 

[wideeyes]

speaking to the other mums would be pretty high up on my worst nightmares, I dread DD being invited to a party as all the mums are friends with each other and I am an outsider so I'm just sat there while they are gossiping.

My DD is shy however has loads of friends.

A school playground full of mums would be my worst nightmare.

 

[thelittlemermaid83]

The mums i have met are really nice and even though i feel uncomfortable around them i try and make conversation for Kyra's sake.
I hate feeling like this, something needs to be done so i can go back to work or college sometime soon..

 

[Pinky166]

Hope you manage to get something sorted soon Emma. Maybe you'll be able to when Kyra is at school full time?

Good morning all. I hope the sun comes out today.

All a bit up in the air for me again today until we hear how my dad is. I imagine I will be off to the hospital this afternoon to visit him, hopefully he will be in less pain today. They found two ulcers in his stomach yesterday when they put the camera down.

Nothing exciting going on here today. I'm off to Coventry to take my mum shopping. I think I'll just chill this afternoon before the madness of cleaning and washing begins tomorrow. Are you like me ? Do you have to have a spotless house before you go on holiday ?

Have a great day everyone

 

[natalielongstaff]

Thanks hun.

You must be so excited now Mandy.

I always have to have a clean house & an empty washing basket before we go. I don't understand why either. I guess it's just nice to know your coming home to a clean house.

I have to have a clean house as well madness really !!

We are up early today ready for Matthews radio debut

Hope you get some good news about your dad Claire

Is there a way to listen to Matthew online?

Thanks hun.

Hope Matthew does/did well on the radio Nat As long as you don't try and help him, he should be fine

I am desperately trying to find something to do to make the 5 hours here go quicker - then I really need to get on with some housework this afternoon, in preparation for the influx of family at the weekend
