I haven't been feeling too well for the last week or so, but i am starting to feel a bit better today.
I can see the positives now - I haven't been shopping! I had a little walk to the local shop yesterday afternoon and bought a few little bits - I had to have some Space Raiders! I love them and haven't had them for ages!
But that is all i have bought and a little chocolate to cheer myself up, of course - Think i spent about £3...a new record for me, but just not feeling the shopping thing at the moment, again - a new record for me.
I have the hospital tomorrow (again!), but hopefully will be well enough to make this appointment, i need to go to this one, i cannot afford to miss it again and i don't think they will let me re-schedule again anyway.
Besides that, i am tempted to do a bit of shopping afterwards. I am arguing with myself over this one, not sure it is a good idea considering i am trying to shift lots of things on ebay.
Knowing me though, i will give into the temptation.
Although, i have improved lately - i no longer buy anything and everything like i used to (Impulsive shopper), i go through 5 'critical' questions in my mind before buying:
Do i really need it?
Is it worth it?
Is it good value/good deal?
Will i get enough use from it?
Is it in the sale?
If i answer No to 3 or more of the questions, i reluctantly put it back and although at the time i keep thinking i should go back for it, i don't regret it for long - because as little as a couple of hours later i don't even remember it - that's how much i 'needed' it at the time!
Thank you to Jay Hunt for that tip (I am a 'Spendaholics' addict - i love that show!).

Fear
My Goal to get away for a few days is over.
I cannot get away.
Who in their right mind would employ me? No one (I wouldn't even employ me!)
No one seems to understand how unwell i feel the majority of the time - maybe because i keep a brave face on, am always saying i am OK and try and be positive about everything - but that positivity is wearing thin on me and i am slipping into a depression again, and that is not a place i want to go again, i have been there in the past and almost killed myself because of it. The darkness is very, very real and creeps up on me sometimes.
When i do get a 'Good day', i go out.
Even before i go out, i plan things meticulously - well, obsessively. I plan the Journey using an online Planner - down to the second. I make sure i have my 'Comforters' with me and check my bag 3 or more times before i leave (Medication, Music, Bottle of water, Chewing Gum and a few boiled sweets).
But i do pay a price for it - i am not talking about money. I mean, after i have been out, i spend the next few days in bed because i feel so exhausted afterwards. I am not talking about being 'a little bit tired', i mean full blown mind and body exhaustion, where even lifting a cup of water is an effort. Fatigue. Emotional exhaustion.
I can't stand it when people think 'She has done something once, thats it now, she can do it again, no problem'. This statement couldn't be further from the truth. It could take me weeks or even month's to 'Psyche' up the courage to do it again or something similar. I have improved, but not enough to change my life. A shopping trip every now and then is not a cure, nor is it life changing. 2 years ago, you wouldn't have got me near a hospital, but now, i feel so physically ill all of the time that i have to go.
The only way i manage to go out is if i completely control the situation - and if i miss the bus from my planner, i panic and it ruins the day. I'm an obsessive - my Psychiatrist told me i have a form of OCD that has developed as a result of the Agoraphobia. I am a walking text book of Psychiatry. I have so many Diagnosis' in my notes it's unreal.
I don't like to tell people - they think i am crazy, mad or dangerous - but i'm not. I'm just me, my illnesses are unseen, therefore, people perceive me as a threat - But if people got to know the real me, they would see i am harmless, i have never hurt anyone but myself.
Back to the benefits side of things, this is part of my illness - a major part - Control.
By getting my own little bit of money, it's the only bit of control i have left. With an illness like Agoraphobia, the huge majority of the time - everything is out of your control, and that is a horrible feeling.
By putting me under constant assessment, i am in fear i will lose what little control i have left over my life. It's not exactly about the money, it's about the independence, again, Agoraphobia - you lose your freedom, it's like being trapped in your own private prison.
I don't know if this comes across very well - i am not exactly brilliant at explaining myself. But i feel like now i am under pressure, and it is unnecessary. I feel like i am being hounded, persued like a criminal.
The only thing i have done wrong is to become ill. I have fought and fought for years to get help from all walks of the medical profession, but unfortunately they have failed me in every way possible and because i tried for so long and so much, they now have me down as a Hypochondriac, so now i fear the Doctor's too - and that is all because of the way i have been 'treated' by them.
My medical notes can back that up, i recently got a copy of them - they are almost 200 A4 pages long - bear in mind, for a 26 year old, that is alot of medical history! That doesn't include Hospital visits either!
It's depressing when no one will believe you are ill, when people think you are making it all up as my Doctor's believed until i managed to get myself to the hospital and they discovered real health conditions.
Even my recent weight loss of over 6st (a third of my entire body weight) didn't concern the Doctor's...infact, i was offered Diet pills to speed up the weight loss - and they have never investigated the cause.
I have been treated appallingly by Doctor's. They have laughed at me, told me in a distant way i am making everything up, warned about various things and even refused referrals/treatments. It's always fighting a losing battle.
Now tell me, am i making everything up?
I know i am not a liar and i have the scars to prove it.

New Goal: Part 2
For the last few days i have been contemplating attempting to go away somewhere for a couple of days.
It's difficult, i haven't stayed a night away from home for the last 8 years - not once, so it is a terrifying prospect. But i know i need to do it, i'm a fighter - i cannot spend the rest of my life enclosed in the same 4 walls, i truly would go insane if i didn't have hope.
I need to get away for a break from everything, home life is not helped by the fact that everything has fallen apart - and i don't mean my possessions, i mean my family.
I know i need to try and it needs to be somewhere where coming home in the middle of the night is not an option in order for this to work, so the only alternative is to fly somewhere short distance, but somewhere they have several flights per day so i do have the option to fly home if absolutely necessary.
So i am settled - If it has to be anywhere - Jersey it is. It is only a 55 min plane ride, with up to 6 flights leaving daily. I have always wanted to go to Jersey too, so that is a big bonus that it is the shortest distance on a plane.
I could also book a One Way flight, that way, i still gain some control over when i choose to come back and this time of the year, the flights are pretty empty, so getting one home isn't going to be an issue.
In fact, if i caught an early morning flight and i absolutely felt unable to cope, they have flights up until around 8pm the same day to return, Yes, a very expensive day trip, but i still keep the control.
I have bought a 'Cabin Bag' too, which is the accurate size for Hand Baggage, so i wouldn't have to check any luggage into the hold, so i would literally be checking in for the flight, boarding and then straight out of the airport at the other end - Perfect! I hate waiting for anything. Also, without Hold Luggage, you can actually check in quite a bit later for your flight, so no hanging around to board.
I have to plan everything so meticulously, down to the final second, i am obsessive about some things, that is a bad habit, but it makes me feel calmer and more in control, so i am not willing to change that just yet - that can be a future goal.
Control is an issue for me - I like to control situations, it makes me feel a bit more at ease, if there is a situation out of my control, i tend to go into complete melt down (Like a recent delay at a hospital out-patient appointment where i was kept waiting for almost 2 hours, i was absolutely freaking out!)
Goal 2:
3 day trip to Jersey, Channel Islands - When (Not If) this happens, i will post pictures!

New Goal
So i have decided on a new goal.
This may sound very silly, but my goal is to have Lamb next time i eat meat. I don't like Steak/Beef/Pork/Turkey - So lamb it is.
When i do manage to eat meat - it is always chicken, so if i don't try something else soon, i will either start clucking or laying eggs or heaven forbid - actually turn into a chicken!
I have a thing about meat - Chicken, you can always tell if it is cooked thoroughly enough or not, but darker meat, it is hard to tell. I am so very fussy with my food, to extremes and i hate being that way. There are so many things i can't or won't eat, sometimes it gets boring and whether i am feeling ill or not, i will just skip meals. My food has to be cooked in a certain way and if it is not done how i want it, i won't eat it - Yep, i would rather go hungry. Food has a strange taste if it is not cooked exactly to my requirements. How fussy am i?!
I used to LOVE prawns, crabsticks, cod or coley (cooked in Milk, not fried) and tuna. But now, i can't touch any of those - the fear is food poisoning. Silly, right?
OK, so goals:
Lamb instead of Chicken.
I will report back when this goal is fulfilled.

Tesco Trip & Meal Out
Wednesday 18th Jan 2012
This evening i was sitting at home, I was so bored, i decided to go to Tesco (open 24 hours) - I haven't been to a Tesco for at least 8 years, now i know why - It's horrible! Or at least the one i went to was...
After the drama of getting there - I followed a website journey planner - HUGEEEEEEE mistake!
It stated that if you get the bus there, it is only a 2 minute walk - if you get the tram or train it is a 12 minute walk - They got it totally wrong! (I was worried i would have to cross a major road as it is a retail park - I needn't of worried, it was dead there anyway)
I spent the best part of an hour getting there and 2 Bus ride and 2 Tram rides later, i finally arrived at Tesco - However, it turns out the Train Station is nearer than the bus stop!! I could have saved myself time and annoyance by getting the one bus and one train straight there!
So i decided to come home by train - but of course, being 8.30pm, the ticket office was closed and i couldn't see anywhere i could buy a train ticket! Grrr...So i decided to chance it and got on the train, luckily there were no inspectors on there and fortunate it was only 3 stops on the train.
Anyway, I did buy a few bits in there 2 tops, 2 DVD's and a few cake-making bits and chocolate (of course!), Rather less than i would normally buy, but the range there, considering it is a superstore was atrocious.
I then worked my way home, i was so glad to get home, i was frozen and feeling rather anxious.
Friday 20th January 2012
I spent the day getting ready for the evening - a double date as my friend called it. Had a lovely evening and the food was lovely - I had a Chicken Burger (Minus the bun/salad - i like it plain) with chips, well worth the £8.99. Again, i was glad to get home - i wore Ballet pumps and a dress, so my feet were absolutely frozen.

Shop, Shop, Shopping!!
Ok, So i am supposed to be cutting back on buying new clothes BUT...yesterday, i ended up going shopping - Bad Idea! It's the sales...they draw you in. I ended up buying so much i could hardly carry it, all things i 'Need'? Well, kind of...but not the amount i bought.
Firstly - it is hard work trying to find a decent pair of jeans! I have been searching for months for a decent pair of smart, comfortable black jeans...easy? No way! Anyway, much to my surprise yesterday i went to Wallis (high street shop) and had a look through their sale rail...there they were, a nice pair of Black jeans, so i took them to the fitting room and tried them on and wow! They couldn't have fitted any better and a bigger bonus - they were a size smaller than i would normally buy...especially being an in-betweeny size, i usually go for the bigger pair, but this time the smaller pair fitted perfectly. I am so happy..and the best thing? They were reduced in the sale from £36 down to £15 - what an absolute bargain!!
Then the shopping took off from there, and i ended up buying various things from different stores.
Wallis: 1 Pair of Black Jeans (I wish i had bought another pair now though, i will go tomorrow and see if i can get another pair!)
Primark: Lots of Underwear (lots reduced to just 50p!) (Don't you just love the feel of new underwear!)...I don't buy Bra's in there though, i like them from Simply Be online :-) - Plus some new socks, a pair of lounge trousers and a pair of ballet pumps - Oddly, this is where i spent the most - £45 exactly! But i came out with 3 full bags of things, so pretty good really!
New Look: 5 Tops, 1 Smart cardigan and 1 chunky cardigan
Millets: 1 T-Shirt and 1 Hoody
La Senza: ?? Haha - Joking! A nice pair of cosy flannelette PJ's
Dorothy Perkins: Cardigan (all sparkly - us girls like a bit of sparkle!) and a pink t-shirt
I think i spent around £140 in total, which considering how much stuff i actually have, i got some excellent deals - some of the things i bought were reduced by huge amounts - biggest bargains have to be the Jeans from Wallis (£21 off) and the cardigan from New Look (£18 off)...but everything i bought was reduced, does it make it justifiable? Hmmm...doubtfully! LOL
I normally love some of the things in Ann Harvey - they have a big sale on in there too, but i didn't get time to look yesterday since i had to rush off to meet a friend for lunch - so maybe a trip to the other shopping centre is in order, especially as the ranges vary from shop to shop - So, back tomorrow for a bit more retail therapy :-)

A Bad week...
This last week has been tough.
Had so, so much going on - it seems like absolutely everything is going wrong lately.
On the plus side - i haven't spent much, i haven't been anywhere!
Got a phone call yesterday from my friend, he was so depressed, I won't say too much about his situation except he is in a place he can't leave, all i could think about was all of the problems i have going on in my life, i don't need his too (and there is a good reason for saying that - the situation he is in is through his own fault).
I won't be doing any shopping for a while, i have lots of hospital stuff going on now - today i need to sort some appointments out.

New Year: Part 2
Well then - What a manic 72 hours it has been!
New Years Eve - Went to a fabulous party - they even had real bagpipes at midnight! Something i had certainly never experienced before, Danced until the small hours before getting a taxi home - and off to bed at 3am. Most places cost a fortune to get in on NYE but i thought it was pretty reasonable - £10 entry fee and you buy drinks, and considering i do not drink alcohol, the whole evening only cost me around £30 - including the taxi, cover charge and a round of drinks for all.
New Years Day - Had a lovely afternoon at the shops (despite the pouring rain!) with the family - bought 2 new coats, much needed since the weightloss my other coats are hanging off of me now, so 2 new ones - 1 smart (Red) and one casual parka for the typical British weather (Rain, Rain, Rain!), both costing £20 each, which i thought was very reasonable.
Today - Well today was certainly an experience! I don't think i will write too much about today - as i don't want to land anyone in hot water all i can say is it involves an extremely hot Chilli pepper, One mad Car ride and a police officer. Enough said on that subject...
Tomorrow - The weather is so bad out there (Wind/Rain), i have decided that i shall stay in and sort my wardrobes out - considering i have barely had them 3 months, they are looking hideously untidy and disorganised - so that is a bad weather day job - perfect! I have a ton of stuff to get rid of too, so perhaps combine it with an eBay/Selling Groups day :-)

Happy New Year!
Happy New Year!
The last few days have been quite busy for me, so i haven't had the opportunity to blog.
I can't write too much at the minute either - i am just getting ready to head out (again), i will write more later or tomorrow though!
