Aimee - I used to have a lot of issues sleeping because I couldn't stop thinking about things. I bought myself one of those pillows with a speaker in it for about £14 to plug my iPod into. I listen to a lot of podcasts about nothing but they're enough to distract my mind so I'm not thinking or worrying. Could be worth a try? If not, I definitely think going to the doctor and getting some sleeping tablets might help, especially in the short-term.

Thanks for the support yesterday guys, everything is a little bit up in the air right now with us. He wants to take me out for a meal on Wednesday to celebrate my new job and as much as I want to see him, I don't want to give in. Apparently he's been applying for apprenticeships yesterday and today. I don't know, I want him to actually make an effort to change.

Thank you for the suggestion

Maybe losing you is the kick he really needed. I agree with the others though, I think you need to give him some time to actually make the changes and prove he means it this time, he text does sound really positive though.

Having recently been through a really challenging time mentally I can echo everyones advice to go to the doctors, they wont judge you and will listen and provide an outside outlet, not to mention be able to offer guidance and help. I ended up feeling really stressed about little things and still find I'm struggling with anxety and stress to some degree regarding university

Kat: I agree with Trish, stick to your guns, see how it goes in a week or so and suggest meeting up for a drink if it seems right.

for all.

In no way getting my hopes up but was quite amusing when he said I wonder how many people think its going to happen in Paris and I was like... my entire work pretty much have bets on it.

nineteen days!! I fly on the morning of 1st July and come back on the 12th. Need to start packing next week!!
Good actually (!) - we started off the Skype conversation badly yesterday with a minor argument but after that...well, it was certainly an interesting conversation sometimes I get a bit jealous or resentful because of how privileged a life he leads (expensive dinners, designer suits, bespoke tailors, casual new MacBook pro etc.) so I kind of live vicariously through him and feel a bit wistful. (My mum's a single parent, I work to help pay the bills; we never go on holiday, never go out to eat, don't have a car, I share a laptop with my sister, can rarely afford new clothes - been wearing the same primark dresses for three summers in a row now - and I know I have an iPhone etc but that was my dad's doing )
His life also fascinates me because he's terribly upper middle class and tells fabulous stories about fish knives in steak restaurants while I'd never even seen a fish knife before I met him
Oh and then somehow my past got brought up
But when I woke up this morning I saw two really, really sweet and heartfelt messages waiting for me we're both just prickly when apart and I'm looking forward to being with him in person because then he's soppier and sweeter than I am

What about with you and the boy? Apart from that excitement obviously and how have you made it last five years?!?

As everyone's said, definitely go to the doctors. They're used to stuff like this, and people who don't really want to be there or know what to say, and it could really help And if you're worried about him asking you why you feel that way, you don't need a definitive answer, just tell them what you told us

Kat - I agree to be honest, and don't think I can really add anything. Don't give in straight away, make sure he's serious, but don't give up hope. I don't know what he's been like in the past, but he could well have got the kick up the backside he needs to actually change. On a positive note, I've been there, and it can happen

The boy spoke to my work this morning and told them I won't be in for a little while, which they seemed fine with. He also found out from them that I've moved teams twice again in the few days I've had off. I fed up of being shunted around this place He's also taking me to the doctors tomorrow. I got an email about a job interview, which sounds good, but I want to make sure I feel 100% better from this first and that I really actually find the root of the problem, so that I hopefully don't have to deal with feeling like this in the future.

Katie: That's sooo exciting!

So yesterday I started work in a primary school the kids are soooo lovely and I'm having the best time there! It's just confirming that this is really what I want to do! Had a child throw a massive strop today over the tiniest thing, started crying and knocking over other kids paint, I looked around and realised I was the only one in the room and that I was going to have to sort it out

Teachers among us, question: so, obviously there are strict rules when working around children, no touching or hugging or whatever, but a child today (must have been about 9) walked straight up to me and gave me a huge hug which was lovely but then I started to panic about getting in trouble and how do I break this hug without being horrible, so I just told her she needed to go and sit down! Did handle that right or would you guys tackle it in a different way?
