Thick...

I am speaking from personal experience here..and i don't know if anyone else who reads this get's it too... but i just hate it when i am involved in conversations that i have no clue as to what it is all about. I am so stupid. I don't watch the news or read the papers... i like to be oblivious to what is going on the world, makes me think that everything is A-Okay... But then, if my BF happens to turn on the news and there is all this trouble in Greece, they've got a new PM in the hope that they can somehow sort out their financial difficulties, but after watching a show on C4 the other day about 'Going Greek for a week' it's no wonder they are in so much trouble. Then it worries me because the they expect the rest of the EU to bail them out... Where we as a country as already SO in debt.... ugh... see THIS is the exact reason i don't watch the news. Doom 'n' gloom, all the way.

So... What do you do when you're in a conversation that is way over your head, which quite frankly, is all too often. Do you nod and agree/disagree in the right places...or what you think are the right places? Do you make your excuses and leave?

My boyfriend also watches a lot of shows on Space and the Earth.... He had something on the other day which was going on about what happens if the water runs out on Earth. Plagues, tornado fires... See again, doom and gloom... I have not a lot of interest in bad things, it raises my anxiety levels to extreme levels and i don't need any more encouragement to be panicky.

I like to stick with things i know about... gardening... yay.... flowers... yay..... creating a perfect room.... yay.... ALL nice happy things that create harmony in my life. I'm currently planning on redecorating my sons room. It's not been done for such a long time and he's now desperate to have it changed, but i don't know how to do it as yet... I'm thinking maybe another sliderobe kind of thing, like i have in my room. He doesn't have a lot of space, so keeping furniture down to a minimum is essential. I don't know... Lots of ideas... (and plans for my front room too, so excited about that).... :)

I've been gardening this morning. Tidying up ready for winter. It's all ready now. That will be the last cut of the year. ROLL ON SUMMER!!!

You hit the nail on the head already - you like to stick to things you know about. Nothing wrong with you being interested in one thing, and other people can be interested in what they want.

You're not oblivious to bad things just because you don't watch the news. I know already that you care about animal welfare and get involved with the things you do care about. You're not alone regarding the EU. Unless you have a degree in economics I don't think anyone really knows what's going on.

Happy gardening! :) x x

From the mouth of an EX agoraphobic

-
A friend of mine yesterday pointed out what a person had written on their blog about being agoraphobic. Said person is an EX agoraphobic...this is what was said. "Agoraphobia is a selfish state of mind. Its completely "curable", and yet some people just wallow in their own self-pity and will never ever get over themselves and recover. When you are so worried about yourself all the time, how can you possibly be a good mother to someone else? Or a good wife/girlfriend/friend? I've unfortunately been the agoraphobic, and I've been the agoraphobics friend. As the friend, it was miserable. Nothing was ever about anything else but them. It was annoying and frustrating. And completely in their hands to change it, but they wouldn't. Because they're too selfish and self centered. Those aren't qualities people like in a person." Opinions please?

It DID get worse..

...now there's a shocker! I have spent the entire evening in hospital. We had to call an ambulance, these feelings in my heart were insane. I was sat in the back on the ambulance and they did all my obs. I was tachycardic, my BP was really high (usually its stupid low) and my ECG was showing Atrial fibrillation, meaning the top two chambers of my heart are beating faster than the bottom two. I was put on oxygen as well because my breathing was a little bit crappy. The medic man stuck a candular in my hand and hit a valve apparently, my hand swelled up in seconds, it was so painful. Got to the hospital and did all the necessary things and then we had to wait...and wait...and wait. Where they'd stuck that needle in the back of my hand and hit the valve, it started going dead. I couldn't feel 4 of my fingers! I called to get someone to take the bugger out. I'm left with a lovely bit blue bruise this morning. My step-father was called to pick us up because we thoug...
