Have any OCD sufferers on here heard of the site OCDUK.org? It also deals with depression as well.

I was just leaving and someone said

PEA AND HAM SOUP???????????

I'll have some CAZ...... please....

Ann I decided that I would take the tablets now, as the doctor had put them in the chemist...WITH MY BLOOD TEST PAPERS so I think she meant me to start..
If I am not running about like a two year old in a week or two...there is going to be big troubles. There has to be a good reason why I am so weary all the time, doesn't there?

Gail... now that I would like to see.
Me over your knee....
you would need a double knee replacement after that.. ha ha ha

Elaine well done. You will get there believe me. It takes time , but you can do it.
I DID, and went to college after that.....
Had a great deal of trouble getting tutors to accept that I needed my coat close by... but I did it.

Kerry you search for him, or stop searching for him whatever makes you relaxed and happy.
If he did not bother for all that time you are right.
I was deeply hurt when i found my father.
I was 16 when he left and 66 when I found where he was, then he died.... and no one knew about me or my sister.
That broke my heart... he had rejected me even in his heart it seemed.

Having said that, Kerry... you don't know about yours so don't let me influence you. I just wanted you to be aware that these things can happen.

Gill I don't know what has happened with you, but I hope it sorts itself out.

Well I suppose I had better go and do something else..... but I love it here! ;-0)

I've been wondering about Malcom too - c'mon Malc, let's know what happened, even if you didn't make it, just let us know - we're all rooting for you whatever occurred today, so come on, show yourself!!!!

Love Ann XXXXX

Hi gang, there's no other way to say it is there, so many of us. If we counted from the first page I wonder how many names there are?
Gill glad to see you are going to ignore them, and I am doing the best I can with soles of feet the colour of strawberries, waiting for the blisters now.

Pea and ham soup is my favourite Kathy, can you put some in the post for me please. Is it made with a ham shank?

I came on to see if Malc had posted how he went on today, but doesn't look like it yet.

Right, off back to bed, just got up for my tea, see you all later.

hello Ann

I will just have to get used to these people and try to ignore them, I know they are not worth worrying about but I just get tired of them continually on my back.

Anyway, trying to be positive now,
Thanks for listening Ann

Gill

where are you Kathy - snow? My son rang from York this afternoon and said they had received a weather warning for snow! And by the way I do like pea and ham soup

Hi all the old gang and welcome to the new ones .Now I will never remember every name !!
I hope you are all having a good day .I have been bad and have not gone out all day .It is really cold here and we had some snow in the morning so that is my excuse.
Some rotten person phoned me at 6am got me out of my bed then hung up .Eventually fell asleep only to be woken before 8 with banging on my door .Nearly had a heart attack .I always associate loud knocking on the door with when the police came to tell me George had died .
Turned out to be the postman with a parcel .

Think I have already mentioned that I have an addiction buying victorian photo albums off ebay well it was my latest purchase .64 photos and only 1 had a name !!!! The spooky thing is the 1 name may be a relation .I have spent all day looking at ancestry etc to try to establish the link .
I have made pea and ham soup .Anyone want a plate ???

Thanks Ann...

Your right , it really doesn't matter...I have more important things in my life to worrry about..

Kerry, I am sure that you have made the right decision there. If you have not found him and you have really put a lot of effort in it seems like he wont be found. Not worth the hassle is it. get on with your life, if he turns up, all well and good, if he doesn't it really doesn't matter does it.

Well done for making the decision.

I've made a massive decision (well for me its massive) and just wanted to share it with you and maybe get a bit of advice...
I joined GR to find out about my fathers side of family, you see my Dad left when i was 6 wks old and theres been no contact since..Ive found out loads on him, i have his birth/marriage certs..Have spoken to his old rellies but no one has seen/heard from him in about 30ish yrs, Anyway for the last 15 yrs i have been searching..I would have given everything i own just to meet or just have a chat with this guy, it almost took over my life and became an obsession to find him..I have no decided that im not gonig to search anymore..Im done with it, Im sure thats what made me ill,all the stress of it..Should i really make myself depressed and stressed over a man who abandoned his baby and made no attempt to keep in contact? with and could i cope with the rejection if i did find him..Dont get me wrong, if he knocked at my door id be really pleased to meet him but as for me getting more and more frustrated with looking for a needle in a haystack (his surname is Jones) im going to stop and i feel good about it...
Sorry to go on just wanted to tell someone...
Kerry

well done elaine i know its not easy but your getting there one day at a time hun i remember the first time i let myself have a panic attack i was at a friends house and i just felt all panicky i sat there saying in my head its ok your just a bit panicky you will be ok soon and after it i was ok but before when i tried to stop panic attacks happening i got more panicky and more stressed out and i was so scared so now if i have one i just let it happen (((((hugs))))) elaine

hi carol,deanna,ann,gill,gail.caroline,well everyone realy arnt i getting clever have managed to rember some names hope you all having a nice day ,im not to bad today,feel a little better ,so im making the most of feeling a little well ,had a little walk to daughters only 5 mins away but went on my own i did get a little stressed waiting for hubby to come and get me but i rid it out regards to all elaine

I have been getting all the info for my family tree but I would never be able to list everyone I would need a whole ream of paper there are 1000's of them. People might say well there are 1000's in their family trees well that's OK but when you have got people turning up with a relative and the wife of that relative went on to have 22 children the 1st one born in 1934 and all those children have had over 100 between them and now there are grandchildren and that's just one person in the family.

Deanna, there are so many people posting on here now that it is impossible to remember and 'talk' to everyone. Why not phone and ask the surgery if you should start taking the iron before or after you blood test.

I have been trying to be good and work on my tree the last couple of days, think i may have got bck another generation on a brick wall line.

I am off to bed now, have spent my day on MIL family tree and printing.

Deanna, if you say you are stupid one more time, this gran is going to put you over her knee and spank you, naughty girl.

It is hard to remember all the names, so I write them down, especially the newer posters.

Think of all of you, hopefully things will settle a bit for me soon, but wont hold my breath.

Take Care,
Gail XXXXXXXXX

Ann is right everyone, keep taking the tablets.
I had to come off them last year for a test I was having, the doctor explained how they work on the brain and that I had to do it slowly.
I did it, had the necessary test, and within a month was back at the doctors to go on them again.... crying all day is not my idea of fun!

I have had my iron tablets sent to the chemists.... OH has just brought them in for me.
NOW I don't know if i should start to take them before my blood test tomorrow, or wait??
Ain't life one big puzzle?

Have a lovely day all of you, I can never remember all your names, but When I'm on my own.... I think about you all ...by name!
Told you, I'm just stupid.
