I love the "heart" of this forum. There's always someone around to cheer you up, give you advice, or just be "with" you.

Hope we don't lose too many of you when we move to LiveCloud.

And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest! if you must but don't you quit.

Life is strange with its twists and turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up, though the pace seems slow;
You might succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the victor's cup.
And he learned too late, when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out;
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt;
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems afar;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit;
It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit.

Reading through this thread again reminds me how much support this forum gives people.

I can't work at the moment, due to an ongoing medical condition and am on my own in the house a lot, because when things get really bad, I can't leave the house, my husband works full time and often quite late into the evening, and without this forum, I would basically be slumped in front of the telly or reading and probably feeling more miserable.


I try not to feel sorry for myself, but it's hard at times, the condition I have, to do with balance will only get worse and I have been told there may come a time when I will go completely deaf and not even be able to drive any more, which is my independence, at least on good days, I can get out in my car.

Then I found this forum again, I used to be on the old C4 one, back in about 2007 and even though it took time for me to feel like one of you, because a lot of the people I knew in the LUT had gone or renamed, I now do feel like a proper FM.

You have helped me all so much this summer, with a broken wrist, swine flu and the worsening of my ears. I have laughed with you, cried with you and felt like one of a really special club of people.

Thank you for that, and even though I have had great concerns about LiveCloud and the fact that it at the moment seems to be splitting FM's off in different directions, I'm sure once the forums are over there it will be fine, so I'm sticking to you lovely lot and DS when I fancy an argument!!

You are all stars, some of you (you know who), especially

Sorry to high jack the thread and I really hope Comrade is ok, but I just wanted to say that.

Lots of peeps don't realise the effect pschological problems have to do with the way our bodies resond. Good luck hun

they now say i was traumatised during childhood (birth - 11 years) and my brain has suppressed this, a violent attack during the 90's "awakened" this (although it took 4 years to "awaken"), i must revisit my childhood to heal myself!

although i want my seizures to stop i know how to cope with them and i must admit i am frightened of unearthing the trauma which was so bad my brain suppressed it, i think i had a normal, happy childhood but now i find myself questioning that, because i can't remember it involves asking other members of my family and they are getting upset as well.

I guess you have a big decision to make there.
Personally I don't go in for too much 'navel gazing' as my dad would call it, as
sometimes it's easier to leave stuff behind and move on. Also, if I thought that I'd
had an ok childhood I wouldn't go looking to rock the boat - what's done is done and
no amount of digging will change the outcome. Well, that's my basic kind of view anyway.

I think you'll have to ask yourself whether you've got the stamina to go back into it all
or if it's more suitable - and easier - for you to cope and manage with your situation
in the best way you know how.

Rotten dilemma and I wish you all the best whatever you do. xx
