Well it has been sometime since I wrote a diary. The mods finally let me back in.

I am not in hospital and won't go not until after our trip to Tassie. There were no single rooms when I was supposed to go in and my psychiatrist agreed to do the med change after the holidays. I am going to see him as an out patient next week so it will be good to have my questions answered about changing meds.

Still having chronic migraines and can relate so much to Bassman and your diabetes and getting it under control. It is very hard to control something that controls your life. I have been out and about to the doctors 3 times about my cough/whooping cough and been out with hubby a couple of times.

Mumof2, thanks for the advice about the whooping cough. Just finished my third lot of antibiotics and the blood test showed I didn't have whooping cough but the doctor did say it was very common for adults to get it as their imunity lessens as they get older. You were on the mark as I was coughing until I was vomitting and that is whooping cough. Still got a cough/coughing until I vomit and a burning throat. All my coughing ended up putting a disc out in my back and I could not walk for a day. Doctor said to rest and perhaps have an xray as the disc is pinching a nerve in my leg and causing it to be numb. Still got pain in the back but haven't had the xray yet. Still thinking about the xray as the pain is awful if I have to stand for a long period. Don't wish coughing until you vomit on anyone. God it was unpleasant and still is.

To the someone I had the so called altercation sometime ago, I am sorry and I will do as you ask, change the entry and delete your comment. I will stay away from your diaries as you requested and I hope you respect my same wish. Like you I do not want anything to do with you so hope you are happy now. I agree totally that we need to stay away from each other like the plague and I hope this satifies you now.

I also hope Maple and Gyps also stay away from my diaries and I will stay away from yours. Grannie I will stay away from yours as well. You are welcome to write in mine.

Congratulations on everyone who passed their uni results for semester 1 and I hope uni goes well for you this semester. You all did really well and that is a great achievement to do it and not be in hospital. I was going to comment on every diary but have decided that is not a good thing to do, so I will make today a fresh start.

My sister's son had his 4th birthday party on 13/7 and she is due to have her second by c section tomorrow. Will be exciting to see what she has. Saw some recent photos of her and she has put on 20kg - not sure if that is a lot for a second bub and it is all at the front like she was for Jack. Aunty sent some presents for them on Monday and they didn't get there yesterday so hopefully they are there today.

I am back on depnet to get help with my depression/mental illness and not cause any problems to people. I need this site for my help in recovering and so my psychiatrist can see how things are going with my depnet tests/mood. I hope people can leave positive and supportive comments to my diaries and not nasty comments. I don't want a repeat of what happened previously. I want to be able to offer my help and support to deppies who I know will appreciate it/accept it. I do not intentially mean to make my entries controversial/upsetting so if I do, can you let me know so I can look at what I am reading/writing and get the balance right.

Take Care All!!!

PS Hubby went to the farm with the packed up stuff from the garage - he has been cleaning up the garage and creating files for all our documents. It is starting to be a matter of seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. He went to visit a wedding guest and they are going out to the movies. I didn't want to go, though I do want to see Mamma Mia and see what it is like compared to the stage show. I know from watching the tv on Sunday night about ABBA that Mr Brossnan can't sing for his supper. Been doing some domestic chores around the place which is making me feel better about the status of the place.

Cate with regards to the cleaning out of the garage, believe me I am scared that the things that are going to the container are going to be things we need and won't be easily accessible. I hord stuff and so does hubby and that is why we are in the mess we are in - hording. Tidying up is a way to clear out the things we hopefully don't need. Fingers crossed it turns out we don't need any of the stuff but at least we can go and get them if it is necessary.

I am now accessed as Totally and Permanently Disabled by my superannuation fund and am waiting to get my quote for the amount of money I will receive and so I can get some financial advise. I shocked me that this was the outcome as I really thought I could do some sort of work, so now I have to revisit the idea of work and study. Have to talk to the psychiatrist about this serious implication on my life.

Having solicitor problems - she will not represent me for my tpd case and I am trying to find out why. So far she has ignored my email I sent yesterday asking her what the problem was/was it a career change. I just want her to make sure I get the right payout from my superfund but she is saying no/looking at different work but she is in the paper on the weekend defending staff from Qld Health. I am confused.

You know, the place hasn't been the same without you - for better or for worse. Welcome back!

Welcome back... I hope things work out and that there is little or no disagreement... it is reassuring to hear you say you want a fresh start...

Clearing out things is a good thing they say... only for me I worry about things I get rid of in case I find I want them at a later stage... it gives me a sick feeling in my stomach when I get rid of things... you sound like clearing out is giving you a good feeling...

Hope your sister's c section goes well and the baby is a happy healthy bouncing baby... look forward to finding out what gender the child is...

take care

Hi MrsStudying

Welcome back to Depnet. I hope you are well. Nice to hear about your Sister and the impending birth - hope all goes ok for Mum and Bub.

I don't mind if Pierce Brosnan, from Mamma Mia
(and James Bond)can't sing - he can put his shoes under my bed anytime! LOL

Take care my friend - it's lovely to see you back.

Love Dolly x x

studying,

First of all welcome back. Glad I was of some help with the whooping cough. Terrible thing to have and hope you start to feel better soon.

Thanks for the comment on my diary, I am trying hard to keep the little man happy. Poor thing.

Congrats on the TPD sounds like you have a lot of future planning to do depending on the impact of the TPD on your current situation. Best of luck with it all.
