I'm fed up with people. They use you and hurt you. They put upon you and are never there when you need them.

I'm tired of being the one who makes the arrangements or props people up. I'm always let down in the end.

I just don't want to talk to anyone right now, it's all too painful.

^Some people don't Understand how they use & hurt you but you are better off without them. You are a good person & you deserve better. If you need someone to talk to then I am here if you need it.

I've got to got to the hospital in Stoke in October for an MRI scan, having the scan done because the heart specialist who I seen last month he wants me to get it done, as the wall around my heart, the blood is thick, so he wants it looked it. Thing is I'm a bit nervous about the scan, as I'm claustrophobic, so any tips on how to prepare myself etc, so I dont panic?

Thanks :)

Can I give you an honest reply? I know you posted this a few weeks back, but since you haven't had the scan yet (Unless it was brought forward) I expect you're still after tips.

Whilst Pembie is indeed correct -you ARE allowed to listen to music during the scan (I wasn't even given the option during my last scan, they just played music regardless) - it personally didn't help me. The combination of the scanner noises and the music was quite unsettling, even more so if it's a piece of music you've picked yourself that you would normally listen to uninterrupted. It may well help you, of course, so that's your decision to make.

I wont lie.... MRI Scanners are noisy! They start off fairly quiet, and then suddenly it's like a (rather loud) drilling noise around you. Your ears gets covered for you, but it doesn't make a huge amount of difference, IMO. You should try, somehow (though it may not be easy) during the start of the scan, to prepare yourself for a sudden loud drilling noise. It may very well make you jump at first though.

During my last few scans, I've found myself focusing on looking as much towards my feet as possible. It's not the easiest thing to do, since when you're lay flat, you tend to just stare upwards anyway, but if you can somehow get a glimpse of your feet/the open space of the scanner, instead of focusing on the machine around you, it may help ease the claustrophobia, even if just a little bit.

Thinking of hobbies tends to help to. During my second-to-last one, I spent the entire scan thinking of a TV couple I was obsessed with at the time. I thought of their current storyline, and even came up with a whole new fanfic idea during it! If you have a creative interest, try focusing on that. You've been learning to play guitar, haven't you? (I'm sure that was you, anyway) Try thinking of songs/music you'd like to learn to play.

There's no garauntee to any of these things I've suggested, since it's probably different for each person (and I can't really help with the claustrophobia issue), but they may be worth a try.

Good Luck with it :) xx

Thankyou Amy. That was a great read & indeed helpful :) I've not had the scan yet.

Yeah it is me who is learning to play guitar, been having lessons with a band for 6 weeks now - so that is going really well!

God I am sooo shaken after last night.......Myself and my whole family were held at gunpoint!!!

Seriously never so scared in my life! Was in bed last night when I heard something banging downstairs so I went down to see what was happening when some man in a balaclava actually pulled out a GUN! I screamed and then everyone came out to see :/

I was only PETRIFIED!!.........He sat us all down in the sitting room and told us not to move....I felt like I was in a film!!

In the end he left with my dads car and lots of my dads money!! At least he didnt hurt any of us.....I thought I was gona die :( :( Really wont be able to sleep tonight :(
