How are you feeling today?

[Pete]

  nope I am deffo NOT a car geek and havent a clue about cars hence I often get mugged at the garage.

I have just popped off the leads to the spark plugs and the first two wells are full of oil so ( based on my google reserch) it could be the cam seals??

As you say it looks like a cam belt change too as they have to be done but with a v6 and garage I get the feeling I am looking massive bill. Hmmm shall i just run it into ground me wonders  />.

lol....nope i'm certainly not capable.

I have looked at yes the rockers do need changing but according to a garage I went to just ( i'm doing the getting out today aint I lol, on a mission and yes I am a little manic about it all today but I am coping like this its  when I get tired  later i'll be the complete opposite)

Oh yeah he said the rocker cover gaskets need changing, the cam gasket also needs changing as the oil is running into the plug wells as well as down the front behind pullys etc. He  said the cam belt would need to come off anyway so he's see if it needed changing and if it did he's change it but only charge parts no labour seeing as he's got it off anyway.

I'm a little puzled though as he reckons £200 all in to change rocker gasket, cam gasket and cam belt. I'm thinking naaaaah thats waaaay too cheap surely. Maybe i'm just suspicious though but I would have thought csm belt would have been way  more????

oops sorry for hyjacking the post peeps.

I'll get my act together and then most likely start Zaf, just worked myself up so much last night and really dont wanna havethem affect the families holiday, i'd rather struggle on another month before let that happen but we'll see eh  I'm more concerned that I notice I am swinging way up and down in moods now than before but maybe its just as I have a lot to deal  with right now. Its the doctor asking me if any family had bipolar, it made me start worrying I too had it and as i dont know anything about it other than stacey from eastenders lol I associate it with being crazy lol

[cornish]

does seem a bit cheep, he might be using pattern parts though and if so i doubt the gaskets would last long, its something you might want to ask. even so its a few hours work and seems a tad cheap, cab belt kit alone is normally around the £100 mark,  you might want to research part prices.

just feeling really unmotivated today and I have no energy. Mom thinks I look really white today and I keep getting really dizzy so maybe I am coming down with something or maybe its just because I am not eating enough.
my house is a mess my artwork is just sat looking at me and there are a million other things that need doing but I just dont have the energy to do them which sucks

[Pete]

When I have days like this I just try and accept it as a day of rest and relax doing as little as possible intentionally so I feel in control. Tomorrow is another day and if you feel any worse as in the flu or something just see the doc but try not to worry too muchm

Well said Pete!

Like I was discussing with Cornish earlier - if you feel low and unmotivated (as I have done today...) you are better off just listening to your body and having a quiet day. Then at least tomorrow has the chance to be a good day - not a day when you are exhausted because you have been forcing yourself to do something you are not upto.

Guilt is a part of depression (its the whole anxiety-guilt-anger cycle again) so try and look at it as part of your illness. No-one is going to judge you for just taking a step back for a day - and if they do... thats their problem

[Pete]

Not sure today? fuzzy sort of? hmmm

[Zaf]

Feeling really irritible because of the heat

Worrying about "what ifs"

[Munchroom]

Snap with the heat!

Didn't sleep too well last night - wasnt having a brilliant day and then someone posted a supposedly 'funny' comment on facebook about depression....  kind of like a red rag to a bull...

Also a bit over-sensitive and pissed off over actions of other people. Don't really know where to put myself at the moment....

[smirfy21]

I dont think I have ever felt this tired in my life. I am not depressed just a bit low and so tired and jumpy.
today has not been a good day and I've not really had the chance to relax and take it easy because I have spent the day being dragged round art exhibitions which was great but I wish that it had been scheduled for a different day when I felt more human but mom really enjoyed it so that was all that I was thinking about really.
I am going to try and take it easy tomorrow and get my head straight so that next week I am more on form, I think I am going to schedule an appointment with my psychiatrist aswell and see what she has to say however she will tell me that I need to re-think my decision not to go on any medication for my bipolar disorder so I need to decide what I want to do about that aswell.
