Hiya, are there any welsh people at this site or is it just me?
Anyway, I'm 25, I've got everything(!) and I love this site. Everyone seems lovely.
I suffer with anxiety, depression, have panic attacks and have also been diagnosed with bi-polar. But my biggest problem is that I find it soooooooooooooooo hard to talk about any of these things with anyone.
I feel so ashamed of it when I do. When I've tried to discuss my problems with friends it makes me feel like a complete failure. I feel so isolated keeping these things all to myself. I honestly don't know how to
talk to people about my problems. I always put on a hUge front and it's
a strain. I sometimes wish I could e-mail the world, get it all out in the open and over and done with. Who knows perhaps I will!!!!!!!
My other major problem is my relationship with my mum. I live with her
and we don't communicate at all, it's awful. She talks to me but I'm almost always angry with her for something or other she's said or done to me. She is constantly criticising or shouting and screaming at me over really small things. Anyway enough from me, for now. THANKS FOR LISTENING. Nice to meet you all xxxxxxxxxyyyyyyyyyzzzzzzzzz

ps. How do you insert your fabulous pictures????!!!!!

We seem to be getting more and more international all the time. Isn't it great! We have a few people in the U.K. (not me though), but I don't know if any are Welsh.

Welcome, goggles. e-mail te world You can talk all you want here. Sometimes I want to just let the whole world know everything about me, but then I get anxious about what certain people might think about it and what kind of limits I might face if they all knew. I don't think it would help my application to graduate school.

To insert a picture in your post, type [ image ] then the url where the picture is [ /image ] (except without the spaces). To put one under your name, go to your profile and enter the url there. If you look on the message board about pets, hobbies, and other fun stuff you will find some posts explaining it and sources for pictures you can use. You can also put smilies e-mail te world in your post. When you are making a post, click on the line above that says you can use markup in your posts, and the directions are there.

Welcome Goggles,
It's a good place here and lots of gret people for you to talk to.

I guess I have a small bit of Welsh in me from my moms side of the family but I don't know the littlest thing about it, sorry!! I'm American.
Anyway, welcome!!

Sorry to hear that you sound so alone. I hope that you are able to talk about your problems here. Isolation is definetly not a good thing, I really think it makes every thing worse. You have no reason to be ashamed.

I also have big problems with my mother. We have big conflicts about meds. She doesn't like me being on them and constantly asks me how my meds are and if I'm having side effects.
So why does she yell at you? Just general little life things?

Take Care of Yourself,

WELCOME, Goggles. I think you will find this a comforting place to be able to express how you are feeling = it helps to interact with people who understand - tis less lonely. Warmest regards, and I hope you will post again.

Hiya again.
Thanks for replying everyone.
I'm quite tired at this time of night so it's gonna be quite short from me, I'm afraid. It's afternoon with you guys isn't it. Maybe if I have a really bad day you can re-live it for me over there. Is that a load of b''@>}{}>.?
I think so.
ANyway about my mother. I don't like to put her down, it feels wrong but
she's a nightmare. The bane of my life. She is a complete control freak.
Reading my mail, telling me how to dress, eat etc like a child. She is constantly telling me how much of a mess I look/am, she says I look like a tramp and she likes to literally scream at me quite often over simple things like unwashed dishes for example. I never know when she will explode and I am constantly on edge when she is around. This really doesn't help with my panic attacks. SHe also tells me I make her ill (she's had major health problems).
There is loads more about my mother to tell but I'm a bit- knackered- you don't use that word do you- it means very tired, so I'll sign off for now.
Nice to speak to you.................night x
