Hi Everyone

[Judo]

Good Morning all.

Not been around for a little while although have been looking in.

Have been having a bit of a down time to be honest. Had a wee bit of a melt down. My doc has now prescribed me with some happy pills to try and lift my spirits and I have to go for a chest Xray as my breathing patterns are all over the shop. My GP is sure this is down to my anxiety but I can't help but feel something else is going on (but I guess that's the anxiety on overtime!)[:(]

4 months into my IVA and right now things are quite tough. Nothing major really, just the fact that every time I try and save some money it all seems to be going on one thing or another. Glasses broke, school uniform x2, diesel costing more, you know, all the usual stuff.
I wonder if I will ever be able to save anything right now. Christmas not too far away really when you think about it and even now it's keeping me awake at night with me worrying about how the hell I am going to pay for it if every time I try and save some money, something else crops up and Puufff! Just like that, it is gone.[:0] Hell, I can't even save my allowance for emergencies or the car![:(]

Anyway, I guess it's still early days, granted, the kids being off don't help. Just venting really. I am sure things will pick up and fall into place soon. Sooner rather than later would be really good right now though.

Anyways, hope all of you lovely peeps on here are all fine and dandy and hopefully now that I am feeling a bit more like being with the land of the living I will find it within me to start contributing to this wonderful forum again! xx

Hi Judo, nice to see you again.

So sorry you have been having a rough time of it, good news the chest is clear - I'm sure it is just anxiety and hopefully the happy pills will sort you out and you're back to normal soon.

I think a lot of people are struggling at the moment with the price of everything going up - we're certainly noticing it with fuel at the moment as we have a petrol, gas guzzler! Sometimes wonder how I manage to put enough in to get to work.

Please keep on venting! It's what we're here for. Hopefully you can get through the school holidays and I hope you can get some stuff together for Christmas. Not a nice thought when you've not got any money.

Hi Judo, hope you feel much better and things improve for you very soon. Remember we're all here for you at any time x

Evening both and thanks for the support.

I won't fully rest until I have had my chest Xray and been given the all clear on that front and hopefully then I can start to pick myself back up again.
Not really a state I thought I would find myself in but at least my GP is finally giving me the help I need.

That damn lottery win would be a good start! lol xxx

Share your thoughts in the lottery win Judo, fingers crossed for the x-ray. I guess none of us would like to find ourselves in the situation but so glad your Dr is finally giving you the help required. Chin up and remember we're here on and off the forum. x

Hi Judo. One way to look at the money problems ("I try and save some money, something else crops up and Puufff! Just like that, it is gone")... at least you DO have it (mostly) there to go "puufff. Before the IVA it would have been nothing at all or more credit .. so things are improving

Anyway --- let the budgetting cruise along for now and concentrate on your health and well-being. However it pans out, you ARE in a better place than you were not so long ago.

<<Hugs>>

I'd settle for a tenner on the lottery at the moment!!!!
