Hi Monkey_magic,
Thanks for reading and commenting. Sorry to hear that you're struggling with a headache. Pain is no fun. Hope it eases really soon. I just dealt with my female friend again. She was going on and on about her new boyfriend and I get that it's exciting but hearing the same story on repeat, over and over is a bit much not to mention her condescending attitude about not being around him if she didn't want to be. She glared at me when she said it - pretty sure she was insinuating that she'd rather spend the time with him over me!
I just feel like I don't have any real friends. I give and get nothing back. I spend a lot of time just waiting for a response to get together and do something or an actual response to my messages I've sent. And they don't answer their phones if called.
I did have a walk yesterday and need to do it more often. It left me lying down later as I had pain in my knees (I know there is fluid in them from a previous scan).. and my GP has suggested steriod injections if it keeps happening but that doesn't sound like much fun.
Swimming would be good if I could get over my body issues. I don't like the way I'm looking right now - so wearing a swimming costume would be too hard to do right now.
I think sometimes that the medications we're given (for physical or mental health issues) is often worse than what we're dealing with! The side effects can be horrible... and it's a real catch 22 situation.
The guy with the loud music has been reported to the police a few times. If he's caught again there maybe more serious consequences.
I feel like I'm fighting a loosing battle. No one knows how much I'm struggling. Because no one cares enough to ask. I've just written a heap of messages to a younger friend who lives interstate but there's not much she can do or say except that she's siding with me and sorry I'm dealing with all of this.
