Sounds like a plan. I always found following a decent pattern relatively easy, it was the undoing mistakes bit that was hard to learn.
Use a stitch marker - you can buy ones specifically for the purpose, or just use a safety pin/bit of contrast coloured yarn. You place it at the point you want to remember, in this case the beginning of the round (also works well at increase/decrease points as a reminder), and then there's no working out necessary!
I'm totally buying you a copy of my favourite (and predominantly colourwork-based) sock knitting book - when you least expect it! And the best bit is, since it's a gift you'll feel guilt-tripped into using it.

I know you didn't ask me but I thought I'd butt in :P I found Zopiclone really useful, they helped me sleep so much and it was such a relief I could have cried. However they did give me hallucinations, although for me the sleep was worth it. And the only other thing is that when I came off them I couldn't sleep again immediately :/ and that is still a problem, so they help in the short term but solve anything. Personally I would love to be put on them again just for the sleep but I am currently without a doctor! Hope that helps :/
To be clear, what do you use it for? I need something that will put me to sleep and will keep me asleep all night because I'm up until the early hours right now and then I sleep for a normal amount of hours. I just really need to be able to sleep at the right time without waking up after a couple of hours.

What's wrong? I'm with you on feeling alone, are things due to get better soon? Anything we can help with?
Do you mind if I ask what they're like? I've been having sleeping problems too and would love something that would put me to sleep without question.

I'm on the highest dose possible, but they make you really sleepy and relaxed until you drift into a sleep, which I generally stay asleep all night when Iv had one.
BUT there are side effects such as hallucinations, when I first went on them I had a lot of issues with the hallucinations.
Also they are VERY addictive so it's not a long term solution, and the drs don't hand them out willy nilly.

Thank you
My brother just came back from hospital and he is doing fine. Apparently it should be ok, but you never know. He also has to stay overnight, so you know doesn't sound too ok to me. The irony is he is a cardiologist and it is a heart problem.

Me and bullettheory recently decided that having a steak in a bath full of tea would kill all mental ills, if you want to give that a go? 
That or I could expound upon the evils of crochet for you?

Ummm I guess it kept me asleep a normal period of time when I took it? So if you took it before you went to bed you probably would sleep all or most of the night.. not sure if that helps!

Almost, why did you take it? If you don't mind me asking. I was wondering if it was meant for insomniacs or people who have trouble maintaining a normal sleeping pattern or what.

Original post by superwolf What your wife said is true, but that doesn't make it your fault, or mean you should get not-shouted at (). What happened to the therapy that you were supposed to be getting? It could be that you just need to work on your problems for a bit, supported by your wife/psych etc. and then you'll be in a better position to find and stay in work. Also your wife knew who she was marrying and what problems she was taking on, and she still loves you for all that, even if she does get a bit frustrated. So try not to worry about being a burden because you're not, you're her husband!

I'm getting therapy with a psychologist every couple of weeks, it's slow progress though if progress at all - hockey tomorrow and I'm already thinking of excuses to miss it
I dunno, I just feel like I'm not really getting anywhere, I always talk to the psychologist about hockey and volunteering but then I find it too difficult to put what we discussed into practice. I feel like if I was a stronger person I'd do it fine but I'm not. You're right that my wife knew who she was marrying but I feel like maybe she didn't realize how long it would take to fix things. Nor did I though, to be fair to her.You feeling any better today?

Greetings from Boston, USA! Made it here safely last night. Am 5 hours behind you all and will be online for a bit most days while my sister is at work 
Hey, you're not a wuss or a bad person or a failure or anything like that. You have to be in a good, healthy position to enter the world of work, even if it's only part-time or whatever. It's a big step and it's not to be rushed at all

America...**** yeah!
Hope you enjoy your stay Thanks. Yeah, I know it's a big step it's just I'm totally finished with uni now so it feels like I'm letting everyone down by not getting a job. My wife keeps complaining to me about bills and medication costs so if I got a job it would really help our financial situation.

Falling apart very quickly and 0 support. Last four posts on here have been lost to other posts, no-one's replying to any texts I send asking for support, my doctors been useless despite usually being great. Feeling so alone. Can't cope.
Big big hugs!!
Just seen your first post. Good to see you back. You've just been on holiday haven't you? How was it? We need to catch up.
Not good at all hearing how down you are atm. :/ PM me if you want so we can talk. I know it may sound silly (but then again it may not), but have you thought about emailing or phoning Samaritans or somebody for support?
As I said, PM me. I'm having all the uni stresses too (all my friends have gone earlier as well). xx
