At the risk of sounding like the crisis team......could you try taking a hot bath or shower or maybe a cup of tea to try and relax you? (or whatever works best for you?)

Sorry to hear you've been struggling so much today, it's annoying when you have a great day then a *****y one, the contrast seems to make everything so much worse.
I'm just gonna try a bath and then do some colouring in. I've been here before but like you said, its annoying to fall back to a bad day after having a good day. Being back home with my cats is helping :hugs:

Yeah, there is that too.

Pretty sure they are! I think when I ordered my last pair of glasses they were looking for around £60+ for them. But I would like to have them one day.


Try specsavers? When I got mine they only wanted another £40 or so I think to make them reactions? I was going to get them but as I wear glasses when driving I decided to get sunglasses instead and squeeze under the children's deal of 2 for 1 instead. (Full time education = free glasses until 19)
I only paid something like £72 for two pairs of converse glasses (one normal one sunglasses.) would have been cheaper but they wanted a extra £12 for the sunglasses.

I have to pay for my glasses and eye test now, so it'll be expensive either way. :cry:

If you look online before you go you can usually find vouchers to get the eye test reduced or even free. That's what my dad does. (Mum doesn't need too as she gets hers free due to her diabetes.)

I have to pay for mine soon, not sure if apprenticeships count? May be going for one.

Tesco or Asda (or perhaps both? I forget) do eyetests for free and don't require you to buy their glasses afterwards so maybe check them out. :smile:

HC1 is the form you fill in. HC2 or HC3 gives you help.

Really struggling with intrusive thoughts currently.
Had a crap day, thoughts have been turning my brain to mush!
I can't take much more of this.
It's taken over me again!
I thought I'd got a handle on it but I guess not :frown:
I want it to go away :cry2:

Sorry to hear that, buddy. :hugs:

I get intrusive thoughts quite often. My psychologist told me to try and relax and know that they are just thoughts, nothing more. Sometimes I find it helpful to write them down and then they're easier to dismiss because it becomes clear that they are false and nothing bad can come of them. I don't know if that will help you.

I thought I was getting over this but today has just been awful!

Ah I'm sorry to hear that! Hm well that's easier said than done tbh but I can try to relax.
I've not done that before, so I shall give that a go and see how it goes!
I hope it does!
Thankyou!
