Am Not Coping

That doesn't sound good @Zoe7

I know this is a stupid question but where on a scale of 1 - 10 - 10 being really bad - are you right now?

I said it was a stupid question - but then - maybe I can see better about whether you should ring your psychiatrist or not - or maybe you can see

I know you have trouble putting your ideas into words but have you tried chatting on-line with Life-Line? I did once - but I am a person who talks - and talks - and talks -

But it seems to me that things are really dark tonight - have you had sleepers yet - because it is still pretty early - and I guess the night looks horribly long to you right now

@Zoe7 Thanks for the update. I hope your gp and psychiatrist can work something out on monday to help you even if it is just something to help you sleep better so that you arent so exhausted. as for not finding any positivity perhaps toby can help with that i find dogs are always good at finding and bringing out the good in things. even if that just means watching him doing something really cute that is still something positive. and it doesnt take much energy which i understand you are already having trouble with your energy levels. all i am trying to say (and apologies i am a little all over the shop today) is that try and look for positivity in the small things then it may not be so hard to find. i am here listening if you want to say more.

@Owlunar on a scale of 1-10...about a 7 and rising!

I tried chatting on-line to lifeline a couple of times and gave up - a waste of time - actually made me feel worse!

[Owlunar]

Aw - that's not good @Zoe7

Do you think you should ring your psychiatrist before it gets any later - yes - I know what you are thinking - it's 9.30 on and Saturday night and he has a life of his own - or at least we hope so

But then - he did choose to be a psychiatrist

How do you feel about that?

I don't have my psychiatrists number. I'm sure my GP does. I'd call my GP before anyone anyway @Owlunar

I don't want to do that - I'll be ok - just the same sh*t ...different night

@Eden1919 I gave Toby a haircut this afternoon - but didn't finish it - he was squirming like a little squirrel and I was too tired to put up with it. He really needs a bath but I don't have the energy - and I won't bath him when it is cold because his hair takes too long to dry and he gets chilly and starts to shiver (even wrapped in a blanket)

[Owlunar]

I do undertstand @Zoe7

I guess you know yourself better than anyone

I hope the night isn't too long - that you do get some sleep - I know you don't sleep well - and I am thinking about that

It is going to be a long night @Owlunar I don't want to try to sleep again after the nightmare - it's too hard to deal with.

@Zoe7 that is the same with my dog and baths and hair cuts lol dont worry if you couldnt do it for today dogs dont mind smelling bad often they actually like it lol. also unless i get super tired i should be up to chat if you want.

Toby is good having a bath - he just sits in the water while I wash him. He doesn't like his face being wet so I leave that until last. Then he sits on my knee while I towel dry him as much as I can. After that he runs round and round the loungeroom trying to dry off a little - that is adorable. he does really need a bath - I need to find out if him being 'smelly' is a build up over the last few weeks or he may have an ear infection. His ears don't seem to be bothering him but they are a little smelly (that is the problem with long fury ears) @Eden1919
