So because of my undiagnosed illness I am now considered a flake. I cancel last minute on things all the time because I feel sick or out of it or tired. So that really sucks.. to be unrealiable. yep. *sigh* please tell me this isnt just me...

I Will Be Diagnosed !

Don't be so hard on yourself Hits on Head

your not a flake aggressive

I think I can speak for all of us here when I say Social life is nil Question

. I don't want to go anywhere or do anything simply because I'm in so much pain. I manage to visit family often but that is because I'm understood and taken care of, if I need to flop on the lounge I can without feeling out of place Wink

I do the basics, shop, pay bills etc, but very limited life style. So don't feel bad, just do want you can, on the odd day if you feel just a tiny bit better push yourself just that little bit more to go to the park, walk around the block or just get outside Big Grin

When all else fails, play dead!

Mwahaha! You're not the only ones..I had to flake out on a party that I'd been planning to go out to for two weeks! Stupid idea of mine to ask Aids and Equipment for help...I was given the number for an approved repairer(who, last time I blew a tyre wanted $125 as a call out fee) who I'm not willing to call.
I've spent $150 on getting my shopping delivered(it normally costs $60), the cats are being fed pet roll, and I have green potatoes for dinner. The cats are pooing in their enclosure, which means I'll have to clean and shift a litter tray in there. Crawling around picking up cat crap is not my idea of fun!
The dogs are going stir crazy. I normally take them out every 2 days at least. Kaos barks at everything, Mishka is happy to stay at home, so I'll have to be grateful for small miracles.

You're a flake? There are lots worse things in life...

Your not a flake! Especially when your in a situation that you're in.
Don't be so hard on yourself. I think even healthy people flake out sometimes Wink

Thanks guys.. but alot of other people that either dont get it or they think its in my head now think I am a flake.. should of clarified that. its not me that thinks I am a flake but others have classified me as this.. so dumb. Whatever they just don't understand and won't until they have to deal with it themselves.
