Hey @AdamR Gutted to see your having a low. Hang in there because it will improve. Weird how one minute everything is 'normal: and the next it's all grey and negative... Re sleep. I always have a radio or audio book on very low as listening to that stops my thoughts spiralling down. You can set a timer to turn it off so it doesn't wake you up again. Write down your thoughts as and when you feel the urge. No need to read them or share them.just put it down... Pm me if I can help... X

I wouldn't trust him with a broom never mind the country.

14 Aug 2019 https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/brexit/9724379/jeremy-corbyn-pm-boris-johnson-no-deal-brexit/ Jeremy Corbyn has demanded Brexit rebel MPs make him caretaker PM, in an explosive intervention. I believe Corbyn could be a caretaker; just NOT the PM.

@AdamR top marks for this thread it’s closer to a lot more of us than we think 😎

Hi Guys Would it make sense (if he is still a member of the Speed and Hill Climb Committee?) for Nick A to put together a layman's summary of the proposed regulation changes for 2020? This would perhaps avoid too many different interpretations and give us some pointers how to respond? Thanks G

Ok I'll bite. The whole EU referendum vote basically asked us a question with no real answers. No real explanations or scenarios or consequences of what would likely happen either way. Even the leader of the leave campaign has been proven time and time again that he lied repeatedly making false claims. Said buffoon has now been promoted for being a liar. So yes I think it's the 100% right thing to do to ask the question again but with an actual real choice and let the minions decide. Leave with this/no deal with these conditions and results. Or Stay with the EU. But in all of this the thing that boils my p*** the most. This is the most critical point in this country's recent times with a ridiculous amount of work to do. And our elected representatives take a 5 week holiday. Seriously.

Always happy to be corrected and / or learn from those more experienced, Jude! Was just a bit of a theory that popped into my head, interesting to hear your experiences too. Just giving this thread a bump as it popped into my head today. Things are tough at the moment and it's really affecting my sleep, which makes things even more tough - the vicious cycle... I think my body has finally cottoned on to this and told me 'enough!', with symptoms now manifesting themselves physically too. Now into my second day of being housebound, thankful for Johnny Herbert's autobiography and a cheeky online stream of the cricket to fill the time. It still amazes and frustrates me how quickly things can go from good to not so good, having had a pretty decent weekend and then being in a mess this week, but I guess that's the nature of the beast. My partner is being amazingly supportive and pulling out all the stops to try and make me think positively, but it seems to be having the opposite effect and I can feel myself shutting down. Tomorrow is another day I guess. I'll sign off with a quote from a letter her dad sent to us recently, which I am doing my best to bear in mind regularly: "I've no advice to offer other than to recognise that stress can make us strangers to ourselves".

Who let the cast out in!

You are not supposed to have a memory when it comes to politicians Scott, you should know that by now!

Thanks Luke, I'm going to call it tomorrow when I see just how bad the rain is. I'll PM Tom to let him know as if there are people on the reserve list then they can have my spot. Campsite after all that rain is going to be a mess too id imagine.

Is it just me or is it deeply ironic / idiotic that Corbyn wants a vote of no confidence in Boris and would expect him to resign, but when 80% of his own MPs voted they had no confidence in him, he refused to resign?

Barony Castle booked. Bring on the sunshine.

Hi. I have followed this with much interest and I'm grateful for many of the honest posts. I'd like to suggest many if not all will some time in our lives have some challenges. And we are now accepting and discussing these issues more openly which must be a good thing. So let's keep it up and make these discussions acceptable. Not many know I was affected by meningitis a few years back and was very lucky considering what it can do. However I didn't fully escape and have severe hearing loss and tinnitus in one ear. Hearing loss is one thing, the tinnitus which people can't see never leaves me due to the nerve damage and is like being in the car with the window down at over 100 mph. 24 hrs per day. It's seriously loud . Makes being social within a group almost impossible. But what I'm saying is with time the brain can get the upper hand on these things and you can be in control. Keep up the good work and positive thoughts.

Hello Adam. I think people who have met me would say I'm extrovert... So I might cast shadow on your post. I know many lively extroverts who have chronic anxiety, depression and a selection of other challenges mentally. I wish I wS a quiet person.. The only time is when my mood drops but no one sees as I hide away. So sorry you have had some low times... I've had a few recently but the sun really helps. I plan on spending winter in Spain in the sun but I have a new grandchild arriving in Feb so might have to rethink... I miss my car which doest help. She is still in recovery at the local garage since being retrieved from France. Driving is therapy for me...
