The 'have a moan' thread

This is not so much a moan, but just more of a vent seeing as everyone I know is on holiday and i can't be bothered texting or calling them to talk...

I start a new job tomorrow. It was sooooo sad to leave the place I was working because I've been there for five years and everyone there was really like a second family to me. I'm still with the same company, but just at a different branch/store as to say. My new role is a huge promotion and I will be the youngest manager there... I should be HAPPY and EXICITED! But more than anything I'm SCARED!

I haven't told my family that I've left work. I am shifting house as well and not telling them where I'm moving to. This last month or so they have been so incredibly cruel to me I really just want to disappear. I have a feeling that's probably what they want anyway...

When I was younger they were always mean to me, but what they have done to me recently is stuff that I would never wish on my worst enemy... I know it's bad of me to say I never want to see them again, (and I know I will get in touch with them... eventually... that's just reality) but in a way I'm quite content with the fact that they won't be able to find me for a while...

But I had a talk with my boss today and he was telling me how much he is going to miss me, and how much he appreciated everything that I'd done. He said that more than anything he's loved watching me go from the quiet/shy girl that started there to the confident leader that I am today. That it was a pleasure for him to be able to watch me grow up and literally change in front of his eyes. He told me that i had so much potential and that he was really proud of me. That really made me smile (and almost cry...) He said I shouldn't be scared. That I should look at it as new challenge and new things to learn and that if I didn't have what it takes, they never would have given me a promotion. He wasn't the only one who said that to me, there were quite a few others which really suprised me, but it had the most impact coming from him because I know that he tends to avoid conversations like that. He's one of those "tough" guys. Lol. He even postponed his holiday to say goodbye to me. But everyone was so nice, and I seriously got an amazing farewell.

With all the grief that my family have put me through, it was so nice to hear such encouraging things from the people that I work with. And that somewhere... someone appreciates me and is going to miss me when I'm gone. They don't know how much that means to me, and how much more confident they've made me.

So maybe I should be posting this in the Happy Thread instead...

My moan: - having a ticking biological clock when you're 19 and single. And halfway through a university degree. Darnit, I hate that babies are so cute!

I can't hardly even remember what it's like to stuff myself. Since my IBS developed I've found it impossible to eat large amounts without feeling terrible for days, sometimes weeks, afterwards. It kind of sucks at Christmas because I find myself missing out on loads of good stuff. :( I guess that's my moan for today lol.

Eat small amounts every few hours. That's what I do and it feels so much better than just eating 3 big meals a day. :) I have a small breakfast, a tiny lunch, a snack, then a small dinner, then another snack... then top it off with the medication. Feels so gooood! :lol:

My moan: I don't know where I'm going. I don't want to go to College/Uni because I hate school and I hate learning. I also have this disease hanging over my head and I'm afraid that it'll bite back as soon as I try and commit to something.

That's why I try to do, Cal, but my stomach is so messed up. Some days I eat several small meals and feel great, but I often forget to eat because I'm not hungry... I guess I need more structure.

I often forget too. But it just takes some time to get used to I think. I've been trying for a year and a half, and I've finally gotten the hang of it. :lol:
