Go to Welcome to Facebook - Log In, Sign Up or Learn More and sign up for an account, satzuma. After you are signed up, you will need to send friend requests to starty and oney. Once they have accepted your friend requests, you will see be able to see their pics in your newsfeed. I'm still fairly new to FB myself, so others will probably be able to give you much better instructions than I can.

But in all reality, you're on a completely different playing field and its like comparing apples to oranges. So try and start seeing yourself like we see you. You’re one of a kind and we’re very lucky to have you here with us every day… xxx

I think also, for you, everything is magnified just now. You did a lot of work on yourself in rehab and you’re seeing life through different eyes and it’s probably a bit overwhelming, new and scary. I experienced something similar during and after therapy… I’d burst into tears for anything and everything. It’ll ease off in time… just a question of adjusting to your new perspective on life.

luvvie… and try not to let them get to you… especially if they’re not worth it.


Patty… Six people on the panel sounds extremely intimidating to say the least! Good grief. What are they trying to do, give you a heart attack?! I hope everything went well and things will be on track for you and the wee fellow. It sounds like you could use a bit of peace and quiet in that regard… sounds like its been a real rough trot dealing with the French red tape. These people are not easy to deal with sometimes!!! I really admire how you keep on trucking with everything you have on your plate.

Foxy… Hope your meeting at the addiction centre went well and that they’ve hooked you up with some counseling etc. Also hope the Doc prescribed you something to kick that virus or whatever you have… seems to have been dragging on.

Whizzy… I’m hoping you are on the mend now! That was some fall you took. You’re going to have to start taking care of yourself a bit better than that… we don’t want you running yourself into the ground… literally!!!

Oners and Starty… Glad yous had a good weekend!

Yoo Hooo to Tipps, Jackie, Reccy, Pingu, Satz and Mr G! :hallo: (JC… if I managed to string TWO rows of knitting together there is no way I’d be unraveling it! lol…)


Social anxiety and self-esteem (or lack thereof)… I used to suffer from social anxiety up till about my late 20’s/early 30’s. I’m fine with people now… in fact, I’m quite gregarious for the most part. But I have a shocking lack of self-esteem and I don’t know that I’ll ever overcome that. People that know me see one thing and I see something completely different.

In other news, Day Two of no twaks and I can definitely say the mornings are the worst. (And nicorette gum tastes like shite!) I was proud of myself last night though… I went over to watch Dancing with the Stars with Cheryl and she’s a chain smoker. I have to get used to being around smokers though, I can’t get away from it… so might as well start out as I mean to go on. If I can get through the mornings I’ll be OK I think. It’s not just the smoking, it’s the little rituals that go with it. I’d get up in the a.m., feed the cat, put the coffee on, grab the phone and go to the garage to have a ciggie and call my mum… every morning Monday through Friday. Then, throughout the day, if the phone rang or if I had calls to make… it would be off out to the garage to sit having a ciggie whilst on the home phone or outside somewhere if I was out on the mobile. This is what’s doing me noggin in at the moment! :upset:

Great post Zenners!:l
The kid is NOT going to get kicked out of school-and will continue on next year with the rest of his class.
Thank you all for your support-I felt you there with me. xxx

Molly you were one of the kindest to me when I came here - you were just back & I loved the way people were welcoming you back with such love & affection
And YOU Ms Zen are also an absolute DOTE :h

Howdy guys, checking in to see how ya'll are doing

Molly: I think it's all been said so i'll just pretty much summarise what the others said: you rock

Expat: glad things turned out well, even if it was challenging

Zen: well done on the twaks (love that word btw) m'dear, I gave up again yesterday, stopped for two months then slipped when me n the wife were having problems.

Sending hugs for anon and hoping eveyrbody else is well (have probably missed somethign important, I'm on a coffee break from non-stop art so can't balme me too mcuh right?)

So Inchy news: contacted a counsellor yesterday, have an appointment Thursday, hoping it will help me to figure out why it is I just don't have the will to make it past day one - I kinda figure I don't want to give up enough, but then i wonder why that is so we will see, hopefully it'll work out. I have every reason to want to stop, I just don't seem to be able to connect the reasons to stop with actually, y'know, stopping.

Can really relate to alot fo the posts about being anti-social. I am actually really, really uncomfortable socially. I cannot ask people to hang out or go places, they have to ask me, and if they don't I believe they don't like me. Tiny little things make me believe that people who i would call friends don't want to be around me, I haven't actually been out to see anyone other than my fiance in about 2 months, and thats probably going to continue. I genuinely don't believe people like me, being honest if somebody on here doesn't speak to me I actually just assume you're all annoyed with me, if I disappear and nobody message me, yup I reckon it's coz you're glad I've left. Not a judgement on you, that goes for everybody I know, family, friends, my other half.

Anywho, away i go to draw pretty pictures of Pearl Jam

cheers zen, I'm not too bad with the fags, never smoked heavily coz I'm asthmatic (I know, I'm a genius smoking at all xD) it's only when i'm drinking that i really start to want one, so I actually smoke in the evenings most of the time but not in the day. I swear if I went to bed at 7pm and got up at 2am I would be the most clean living human being on the planet xD

Oh good -there you are Inchy!
Somebody just told me to watch this Pearl Jam video. Trying to understand the lyrics-they say it's about dyslexia -others say not.

Inchy-that link is for you, lol! I know I'm getting obsessed about going on the internet googling everything I can about dyslexia and then friends are sending me stuff. I will try to control myself.
