I have mental health illnes Its not a problem

Good on you, janey.
Nobody should feel ashamed of being their authentic self, particularly as so many people struggle with mental health issues in some form or another.

Hi Janey, glad to see you back.
I’m sure that you’ll find the site easy to use after a bit of trial and error.
Hope that you are having a good day

It seems that Janeyxx and XGIJANEYX are the same person.

I’m glad I’m not the only one to notice.
I’m assuming there was a technical glitch and Janey started again with another username.

I’m inclined to think there are two accounts Meryl as there are consecutive posts from each. Two personalities?

I noticed, but didnt think it comment worthy.

I just feel uncomfortable with it.

I'm not sure why.
I spot lots of user name changes.
I see people who are totally new here, but others seem to know who they are, and I see people who are damn rude in one incarnation who then pop up in another.
Hey ho.

People leave and come back with a different name but don’t usually post consecutively on the same thread with different (but highly similar) names AFAIK. I like to think that posters are genuine, apart from the spammers and the occasional windup.

Hi I’m a grandma of 7 and I’m 51 . Iv had a great deal of stress with my grown up children and care for my husband who as blood cancer and other ailments . He was retired from work through this 16 years ago and it’s been very very difficult both mentally physically and financially .
Last Saturday I was rushing to sort out the grandchildren ect and move their car seats but I fell up the kerb .
I feel stupid and ridiculous but couldn’t get up … the trouble is I was in hospital all day and they gave me liquid morphine and other meds and sent me home on crutches eventually ( I couldn’t move or walk) .
I’m so down that Iv gone from running around doing everything for my family ect and now I’m confined to bed and struggle to the loo !!
I just want to recover fast to look after them again but the pain is horrendous. Iv never heard of hamstring tears before and still cannot believe that falling up a kerb carrying stuff could end up with this injury . My right leg is the injury but now my right arm his numb and heavy ? I’m on pain killers and amitripteline . Iv got a roof over my head and a family but can’t help feeling really low and worried . I’m so worried about everything . Have any of you had anything like this happen to you and if so how how long untill you could walk without the crutches and when did the pain start to ease . Thanks ? x

Hi Thesme
You might want to start your own thread on this, so that you will get replies to you, rather than about the rest of this one.

If you're not sure how to do that, just post again and we can talk you through it.

Thesme,
please ring 111 now re your arm. don't delay.
let us know what they say.
good luck.

It's like a bloody detective agency here lately.

Just leave people be to post what they want.
No wonder new users sod off and never come back.

Hear flippin hear MissAdventure ...

wish someone had told my daughter her spelling mistakes were inconsistent .I'd have a had a lot to say,she's dyslexic and can spell the same word 4 times in the same paragraph differently,If you dont like the spelling ignore it

Mental illness can be very unpredictable and I think sometimes people are actually scared as they don’t know how the person will react or how they themselves should react to them. We all need to be better educated on mental health which hopefully will bring with it more understanding.

What does the word AFAIK mean in this post please?
Thanks.

Oh dear!

The problem with mental illness is fear. When it became popular to discuss mental illness a few years ago a man told me he had mental illness and i was terrified, i thought he might be violent. Please dont criticise me for this but it dates from years ago when people were put in looney bins as they were called. Everyone was assumed to be violent. Nowadays we know better but i still feel scared hy this illness and would avoid anyone who claims to have it

Hope you’re getting all the support and help you need janey.it’s your due. ?

My husband has Alzheimer’s so I know how hard daily living is for you.

I won't criticise you Ethelwashere1, but unless you are very ancient, how can you possibly have that view? Mental illness is either in you, bred in you, or caused by outside forces. Surely you cannot be scared!!

Well, it's actually a big problem. I don't understand why so many people pay so much attention to physical problems, but if there is a problem with mental health, they think it's not a problem.

I couldn’t agree more.

Leave people be. If you can’t post once without being accused of fishing or whatever it is, then no wonder folk don’t return.

Keep safe OP ???
