You'll be pleased to know that I was forced to go to A&E today by my co workers. I had a ring block or something done and they cut my toe open to relieve the pressure and then dressed it. And now I've been sent home. Thanks very much to you all for all the advice you gave me.

Yeah, I guess I could go to the walk in centre tomorrow if I get time. If I don't get time tomorrow I'll go on Wednesday if it hasn't got better.

Thanks for the advice people.

It'll have to wait until thursday at the earliest. I'm at work tomorrow and wednesday. Can't really take any time off to see a dr. Unless it falls off or I can't walk at all when I wake up tomorrow!

Ok.

Thanks.

It just seems like such a trivial thing to go to the doc for. A toe. Not even two toes. It's embarrassing. Is there nothing I can try first? Something I can put on it or something?

I think my toe is infected because under the nail has turned purple and the skin around the bottom and side of my nail is purple/black/red, a bit swollen and I can feel that there's fluid under there. And also, it freaking hurts!

I tried sticking a hot needle into the swollen area to relieve some of the pressure and some fluid did come out but it's swollen up again now and is the same colour and still really hurts to the point that it's making me limp.

Does anyone have any advice on what to do? I'd rather not have to go the doc for just a toe so any ideas would be good.

Thanks

That's good mate. Glad it all worked out.

They're not boyfriend and girlfriend. Friends blow eachother off all the time. It shouldn't be a big deal. I would just call and make it into a joke and just be relaxed about it. If it's bothering you call her. Don't sit about wondering what she's thinking.

Thanks. I know I need to confront her. I'm just stalling because, well, I don't know why. I haven't answered her calls today. It's almost like if I ignore it, it never happened but it did. I know it did because I saw it with my own eyes. I guess I'll confront her later when she comes over.

I like girls with really long eye lashes. It looks really cute, especially when the light is just so and they make shadows on her cheeks.

I disagree. I think you should contact her, not to have a go but just to make sure she knows you're ok with it. Maybe she's really annoyed at herself and thinks you don't want to know her anymore because she made a mistake. Sorry is a pretty hard word to say sometimes so she's probably advoiding it.

I agree with the posters that said you should meet this other person and make sure there are no lingering feelings. If there are and you can see it then I guess it's your right to put your foot down and say no.

You said that you were going to use your alone time to focus on you. Have you actually been doing that?

Yeah I felt like this once and I just let it run it's course and one day it was like the cloud had cleared and my motivation had come back. Maybe you should set yourself smaller goals instead of thinking so big. Big dreams and aspirations take a lot of work and effort to achieve and just seem so unattainable so you give up before you've even begun. Smaller goals are more easily attainable and once you've completed some your motivation should start to increase too.

I read a fair few posts as a guest and this seems a good place to get some advice. Currently I'm in a relationship with a girl, have been for 4 years. We don't live together or anything like that but I always thought we were pretty solid. Until last night. The basic gist of it is that I saw her with an another bloke, kissing, hands everywhere. I didn't go over, instead I stared in shock for a couple of minutes and then walked out leaving my mate in the pub on his own. He says he didn't say anything either. The question is what the hell do I do? Obviously I can't be with someone that cheats. I'm absolutely furious with her and this guy (who I know). What I really want to do is smash his face in and shout in her face, which really isn't like me. I don't want to lose my control over this but obviously I have to tell her I know. Has anyone else been in this situation before or got some advice for me?
