General Chat

Hi everyone, I have been reading this fantastic thread from day one, but havn't posted until now. I do have my problems, but wont go into them now.
But I just wanted to say, I too had silly pains in my chest a few months ago and in the end went to see my GP. He was lovely and sent me for an ECG but did say it was probably 'Stress related' he was right, my heart was working fine, no problems whatsoever, and beleive it or not I have not had them since. But anyone with chest pain, really must go to their GP asap.

I will be posting on here again soon, as I feel I have so much to add to help others and you have so much to help me.

Thanks Jude, my lad is looking for a new job at the mo so he can earn more and save some money, he needs to learn to drive too as that will open up more jobs to him. I will tell him your son did college late, well done to him for getting through so well. It is all down to finances with my lad tho, he has asked about grants and such but being on his own with his flat, has to make sure he hangs on to that and the rent has just gone up, he is with a housing association.

Kathy, well done for coming on here, I wondered if you would. Keep talking to us and comparing notes and see how you do. I hope I will be your way this year and we will go out on the razzle lol

Take care everyone, see you all another day, had a tiring day physically and mentally so not much to say tonight, there's a first lol

Hi every one

I have have been reading this since the beginning and I think you are all very brave and wonderful .
I don't find it easy to open up but can I join the club .
I have been having panic attacks for 15 yrs now . Most of the time I am quite happy in my own little world but I heard a song that goes " another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody "
It's Saturday night and I thought to my self when was the last time I went out socially . 3 years ago at my friends mother's funeral . Time before that my own mother's funeral which was over 4 years ago .
Yes I am agoraphobic and I hate it .
Liz ( purple ) can confirm I am genuine and I thank her for being a friend .
Keep trying to set myself goals but manage to put them off then I feel bad .
With your help I might manage to get there .

Hello Twinkle - you may be getting anxious without realising it, just by being on here and telling us about the pains. Stress and anxiety work in strange ways and everyone is different.Go back to your doc and have another chat with him - but he could ne right
Take care:o)

There are so many posts on here from so many people that have had to deal with so much. Can l please say, well done to all of you for posting on here and congrats to those who are feeling so much better, those who have job interviews, those who have managed to get to the doctors, those who have managed to get out and do things for themselves - brilliant:o)))
And thanks also to those who responded to my last post.
Son was so much better than l thought when we saw him yesterday and today - had a beautiful time with him and his family:o)))

Purple - my son did'nt start college until 3 yrs ago, quite a triumph each time he went, sometimes he did'nt get there. He finishes this September and he's 32yrs old this yr - so its not too late for your son.
l have looked on the mind web site and printed various bits of info, gave them to son yesterday:o)
Good luck with your counselling - go girl!!!!

Carole - be prepared pics on the way:o))
Ann GG - you are amazing!!
God everyone is amazing on here, this is a very special thread;o))

Hi Twinkle - just popped in and saw your posting. I really don't know much about chest pains other than I used to get them through high cholesterol - all I can say is don't fret about "wasting docs time" - that is what he is there for honey so go and find out -0 if he says it's anxiety attacks explain that you were feeling OK in all other respects and did not feel anxious at the time. On the other hand you could always check with NHS Direct, but on no account stay away from GP cos you think you're wasting his time - you are entitled to his time - see if anyone else comes on and has some ideas. Take care honey, Ann XXXXX

Twinkle, this is not meant to trivialise your chest pains but do you by any chance suffer with indigestion? Are you taking any medication that can cause indigestion (stress can also of course). just a thought that your pains could be for as simple a cause as that. But if they get worse please do go back to the doctor.

Caz, lovely son you have there.

Malc good luck, let us know how you get on wont you?

Also thanks for your lovely, touching PM, I will reply.

My hugs coming to you aswell. Eldest son just said to me,' you are quiet Mum' I said do you know why/ He said, is it because of your miscarriages? He realised as my 10th anniversary is coming what was wrong. My big 18 year old gave me a hug, meant a lot,

what lovely poems!!! here's someone else watering the keyboard now - that along with the singing at the Millenium Stadium for Wales v Scotland - I'm awash now. OH would have been over the moon with Wales - do hope they win today!!

Caz,
((((hugs)))) for you from me. I hope the trip to the Langdales brought some peace to you. A little poem for you an all others who lost babies before birth.

Don’t let them say I wasn’t born
That something stopped my heart
I felt each tender squeeze you gave,
I loved you from the start.
Although my body you can’t hold
It doesn’t mean I’m gone,
The world was worthy not of me,
God chose that I move on.


Love
Ann x

Carole that is beautiful, here I am watering the keyboard. One never forgets, Caz we share your sorrow,
{{{{{hugs}}}}}

Caz hope the walk gave you time to go over your thoughts. You weren't whinging, just telling us how sad you feel today. You could do with some strong arms round you to give you a gentle hug. There ((((XX)))), try my little weak ones for now. Hope when you go to Langdales it will give you peace. Carole xx

In a baby castle just beyond my eye
my baby plays with angel toys that money cannot buy,
Who am I to wish him back,
Into this life of strife?
No play on my baby you have eternal life.

At night when all is silent and sleep forsakes my eyes
I'll hear his tiny footsteps come running to my side.
His little hands caress me so tenderly and sweet
I'll breath a prayer and close my eyes
And remember him in my sleep

Now I have a treasure that I rate above all other
I have known true glory - I am still his mother
