you know your ill when....

[lost rolex]

when your up at stupid o'clock 04.07 am because your in so much pain and you have sweated that much you are wet through.

when you have shuffled that much you have worn away a tile in the kitchen.

when your very strong wife  cry's for you

when your 6 year old son thinks it's normal for daddy to just stair into space for hours and plays round you.

when you have everything, but nothing inside.

 

[Holykimura]

When your head feels like its full of cotton wool.

When you talk to your dog about how you feel.

When you cry for so long that you no longer produce any more tears.

When you feel people are against you all the time.

When you apologise to others when you've done nothing wrong.

When you feel you can't bear living like this any longer.

When you try to find positives in all negatives (e.g. i put my finger in my dogs poo while scopping it up, and tried to find a positive by doing it)

When you feel guilty for feeling unwell

When you talk to your dog about how you feel.

I'm in a conversation with my dog most of the day  he's a great listener!!

[Zaf]

Mine too - and the horses :)

[Holykimura]

I find talking to the dog quite therapeutic, I do all the talking and she just listens and occasionally walks over and lies at my feet looking for a tummy rub, I wish my children would do the same! They just seem to constantly bicker with each other and moan at me when I tell them off!

Loving this post & agree with most of it! @ Holykimura I have recently realised that when you feel people are against you all the time...it's actually yourself! I always feel paranoid about how people feel about me but never realised it's me that thinks negative about me, how weird is that! x

[woozywoo]

When you are surrounded by people but feel incredibly lonely!

Your spot on about that xwardx, it's just difficult to remember that when you feel the paranoia. I've set periodic alerts in my phone to help remind me, it helps too! Sad I know lol, I also have set an alert to remind me about everything positive I have achieved in a day.

...when you dont reconise the person staring back at you in the mirror.

[Lol]

You look forward and there's nothing there.
You look back and everything was a lie.
You just look... and realise you have probably never experienced life at all because nothing was real.
You get home from work at 12.30pm and start drinking immediately.
You have excema on your face because of the constant salt of your tears.
You pour hot wax on yourself because it feels great.
You start smoking again when you haven't smoked for 10 years.
You almost administer death by mistake at work because of absentmindedness.
Your mind is absent.
You poor your heart out to the postman.
You prefer to leave the blown bulb in the bathroom so you can't see yourself in the mirror.
You literally have nothing to say but this kind of thing.
It's like sinking in to a sinister pair of slippers.
You have to pick a few of 10,000 possible responses you have to this post.

you can pour your heart out to us if you need  &*(

... you spot the "responsible pharmacist" notice in Boots and ask if it's possible to talk to the irresponsible pharmacist instead.

[Ezel]

You go back to check the front door is shut and locked - we have to physically lock the door when we go out.

The meds are one of my bug bears as dh takes 119 (mostly a combination of painkillers) a week and I take 84 in a week  "£$

When you cry so much it makes you feel sick but you can't remember why you cried in the first place

[cornish]

When you talk to your dog about how you feel.
