...hi

[Vicky.]

Been ages since I posted on here and feel the need to update somewhat as I AM MEETING NIAMH NEXT MONTH!

So. I am now single and ****ing loving it. Finally got the balls to leave my crappy marriage and jesus christ I have been a muted version of myself for like..12 years or so. Its so weird looking back on it all now how I didnt realise I was depressed as hell and life was just..crap. Kinda sat waiting for each day to pass where now I wake up and look forward to stuff (once I get over the '****ing hell, its 7am, lemme sleep a few hours more' mood anyway..)

Kids are happier. They took the transition really well. Especially Skye who usually has issues with change. But they are settled in new school in consett near my family. They go to Gavins on weekends, which gives me adult time each weekend :D

Pain issues are not cured yet like but I have found ways to cope and..mask whatever the problem is. A cure would be good though really. But it is what it is I guess.

I also need to post more elsewhere as my spam has spilled onto both facebook and snapchat and am sure people on my list are sick as **** of me updating constantly. Ohers seem to have one update every few days, mines multiple times a day on both platforms D:

What have I missed. Really :laugh:

[Niamh.]

Welcome Back :p looking forward to next month :hee:

Welcome back! We should do a TIBB meet up. It would be brilliant :laugh:

I said I have to meet at least 1 person from here before it disappears, it's weird because I've known Vicky for 12 years now, it will be strange actually meeting in r/l

[arista]

Great having Vicky back

Far better than Thomas C.

[Vicky.]

I also randomly lost like 4 stone since my depression started lifting. Its so odd. I didnt realise how big I had got until I wasnt. Last week I found some old tracksuit bottoms and I kinda fit into one leg now. Have not lost half my body weight but seem to have lost half the size :joker:

Edit. Though **** knows how am still losing really. Yesterday I ate

-Bacon sandwich
- 2 packs of french fries
- Icecream and strawberry sauce
- Whole thing of strawberries
- Mcdonalds
- 4 bags of hula hoops
- 2 chocolate cupcakes that the kids made

And drank 2 litres of coke.

I should be piling it on really. This is not an uncommon days intake either Since discovering weed..or little hairy acorn type things as I called it last night to my sister

[Vanessa]

I've only met Mitchell and he was really lovely :love:

[Vicky.]

I know, its going to be so so odd but it really has to be done. If not for any other reason, because its all arranged and booked so.. :D I used to get so jealous when others met up and always convinced myself I would do it at one stage. Guess it only took a decade+ to actually sort it.

I'm on a weight lose kick for the next while (probably until our trip over haha) so hopefully I'll have lost a bit by the time I travel if for nothing else so that I can fit my clothes in that tiny Ryanair baggage allowance I have

Whats going to happen really and I can already picture it and it will be glorious..is me you and katie will just go off on some tangent about aliens or some **** and everyone else will just be sat looking at us like we sprouted horns or something.

Unless everyones drunk by that stage. Which is quite likely. Then everyone will just shout nonsense at each other and hope to be heard over other nonsense :D

Am getting a bit worried about how small my house is. We may have to spill out onto the garden really and my neighbours will be even more worried about me than they already are :laugh:

[Vicky.]

I have to try to eat healthier. I think I can manage that :laugh:

Thats why I add in punnets of strawberries or grapes to my munchies. Makes me feel better about all the crap I am shovelling in. I told my mam on sunday about all the junk..was actually on way to my sisters for a brunch too. She said she was actually impressed as I had added fruit and veg to my usual diet :D

Who hacked your Facebook , Vicky>?

[Vicky.]

Officially, 'noone knows'. But it was my husband or someone on his behalf. Thats only half of it, theres been so much drama. Theres also been a fake facebook made claiming to be his new partner, giving me public abuse...trying to cause trouble between me and people I now have..and trying to cause upset with me and my family too. Failed on both counts really. I have been physically stalked. I have had the social called to tell them that I am a bad mother as I 'blocked the father on facebook' :D Crying calls from his family. Endless abuse via email, facebook and text each claiming to be people who are not him but those 'close to him'. I had 'I love you' screamed at me in the street which was horrific and embarassing. Its been a rollercoaster for sure.

TLDR; Gavin. But he claims not him :laugh:

[Vicky.]

I believe the next tactic is to get the children to play guitar and drums, and for him to record a video singing 'perfect' by ed sheeran to give me as 'mam would like that'. Its like something from some ridiculous 80s soap opera tbh.

Its funny, and annoying, and raging inducing and confusing. Issue is though, hes involving the kids in it all and getting them to pass messages and such. Where I feel the best way is to..well keep as much of it all away from them as possible and basically, let them be kids instead of being involved in adult drama? Not sure how to sort that really though besides keep doing it my way, and hope he doesn't mess their heads too much?

[Vicky.]

Sorry if oversharing too. I dont tell many people the extent of it in real life so when I get going, its hard to stop :laugh:

Hi Vicky :wavey: how nice is it to see you back and sounding so much happier and i'm sure you'll have a fab meet up with Nimah and her lovely hubby.

[Vicky.]

I genuinely feel so much better again for letting it all out. And people cant whinge like on facebook as they can easily just not open the thread full of my waffle and lifestory. Its like having an online journal that talks back sometimes :D

[Jessica.]

You deserve to be happy, I'm glad you and your children are in a better environment. I was surprised that you ever got married to him after everything you had shared, especially that time you had to stay at your dad's to be away from him like ten(?) years ago, it' was rough to see you go through.

[Niamh.]

I know, it all seems crazy in hindsight now that I am out of it. That would be the time he pretended to be me on msn or wherever we were talking at the time, when I had my bust lip? God. Its honestly like I have woken up from some kinda dream that took over my life for..many years. Its such a weird experience too as there was years and years of gaslighting crap, which still has me doubting my own thoughts at times. I was an expert at spotting toxic relationships and giving advice to friends in such situations, but seemed totally blinded to it all when I was in the middle of it.

Have you tried (full-spectrum) CBD for your pain?

[Vicky.]

I did but it didnt work tbh but I may have bought fake stuff. Never tried it again since discovering my..bandaid that I am using now. Will stick to this for pain really, and just hope docs find the bloody problem and fix it. Am functioning a lot better than I thought I would mind. It helps a lot that between doses of children, I get the break when they are at school for downtime, or sleeptime if I am exhausted from pain. Since this pain started I worried that I would never be any good for them on my own. Was another part of the reason I stayed in my marriage for so long when I knew I didnt love him anymore and hadnt for ages. Harsh as that sounds.

[Redway]

Sometimes virtual friends are easier to vibe with and open up to than “real-life” mates so I know what you mean. For all the issues with this forum at the moment what happens on TiBB tends to stay on TiBB (for the most part) so you did right to open up to us a bit.

Is it fibromyalgia vicky?

[smudgie]

Great to see you here again Vicky.
Really good that you are sorting your life and going forward so positively.
Love reading your posts, always honest and open.x

[Vicky.]

No idea what it is. It doesnt seem to fit with fibro symptoms though as I dont feel general exhaustion, the exhaustion is just from being in pain so much(and subsequent acting fine, so people dont see how much pain there is)? And its not all my joints or anything its one specific area always. Has consultants quite baffled as all my blood works has showed inflammation since it started, yet scans show **** all. Its odd for sure. But I do have a coping mechanism for it now so try not to dwell on it too much really, and just hope they cure it at some stage!

[Mystic Mock]

Welcome back Vicky.

It's always good to see members return rather than leaving like what's been happening recently.

[Redway]

I was going to suggest this.

The thing with CBD is that there are so many counterfeit/fake brands sold these days so you have to be careful what you buy if you actually need it to work.

@Vicky: you ever heard of My Indica Beauty? I feel like it’s one of the few reputable places you can get real CBD off the web. and they have different strengths available. If someone like you’s more suited to 1500-milligram capsules of the stuff the 200 mg stuff that’s often sold in shops definitely wouldn’t have done much (assuming it was even CBD).

Is it something you’d be interested in starting it again or do you feel like you’ve already devoted a lot of time and money into it as it is?

[Vicky.]

Kinda feel I would go back to try it IF my current crutch started failing, however it seems a waste at the moment when everythings so..controlled? If that makes sense. Happy to continue as I am really until (and hopefully it doesnt happen, the thought fills me with dread now, going back to CONSTANT pain) my way becomes less effective.

I swear I have proper odd social anxiety issues now though that I never really had before. Not sure if its the lack of depression or what but my brain seems broken sometimes. As an example, I just did the school run to pick the kids up right..and for about 10 minutes I was walking behind this couple. I suddenly started thinking they would think I was stalking them as it had gone on so long so..went to cross over the road to be on opposite side instead. BUT they went to cross seconds later so it still looked like I was following them :( So after a brief feeling of utter horror, I stopped in the middle of the path to write a message on my phone to give them enough time to get a suitable distance ahead?! Its so weird as I know its silly as I am doing it but my brain wont cooperate with me.

Immediately following this there was some guy walking really slow infront of me with a walking stick. I needed to pass him really but felt he may be offended if I stormed past but then thought he might feel like I was trying to hurry him by walking slowly behind him. So it was no win :joker:

As I said, before **** like that wouldnt even cross my mind(it MAY be that I just didnt care about anything in general before? IDK its all odd and new). And am not sure if its 'normal' or..some sign of issues! Or both.

[Redway]

Maybe you’re in the process of switching from under-sensitive to your external environment to a bit more hyper-sensitive?

It’s honestly pretty normal for people’s personalities to alter somewhat at different stages in life so that might be it (some people start their lives very sociable and outgoing but become more reclusive and introverted as the years go on, not that there’s anything wrong with being an introvert either way, and sometimes the opposite happens). I’d say it only becomes problematic when it’s actually distressing or causing you day-to-day problems that can’t be ignored and I don’t think things are anywhere near that bad for you.

P.S.: might anxiety be a side-effect of your medication?

[rusticgal]

[bots]

isn't the american way ... going to the movies and british the pictures .... cause the american way is slightly more modern as it comes from "moving pictures" :laugh:

[Vicky.]

One of the girls at my works has just got out of a pretty crappy marriage and has joined dating apps. She is having a ball....she is literally out all the time living her best life :laugh: Being single suits her too

Its such a weird feeling. I am not even exaggerating when I say I'm kinda wondering if I am 'living my best life' or..going off the rails. Its that good? The contrast to this time 6 months back is absolutely insane.

The social anxiety side of it..I can deal with aslong as everything else remains the same. I mean..I just went into the bakery to get a bacon sandwich on way back from school run, saw monster cakes and got 2 for the kids. I thought the woman gave me 'a look' so I started explaining about how they were for my kids and I was absolutely not planning on eating the sandwich then the cakes when I got back (which of course makes it seem like that was the plan all along too as I seem guilty :D) and she then definitely did give me a strange look and told me there was no judgement regardless :joker:

Stuff like that is so ****ing weird, and worrying regular. And is definitely new to me. But its kinda funny looking back on at the same time?! Even though the sinking feeling of shame is still there whenever you recall it.

However I just had a conversation with my sister about this and she does it all the time. Shes having an operation today and had to get a covid test a few days ago. She said the nurse told her good luck for the operation and she said 'yeah, you too' :D

So its not just me, at least. That bit makes me think depression and stuff is just kinda..gone and am being normal, yet not normal.

God that makes me sound insane. Hopefully someone relates :laugh:
