Prior to living here in the house of lunatics, I was living on my own, renting an apartment in another city. I had just finished a contract and was contemplating my future.
I had decided I wasn't too excited about doing more IT work, that I wanted to work on my own projects, without the pressure of a job. I also decided to take on a project which involved creating a site to sell all the knick-knacks my mother collects. We would split the proceeds 50:50, maybe even 60:40 (in my favour), given that I was doing all the work, creating the site, photographing and uploading the items, listing the items, packaging and posting them to client, as well as maintaining the site. My mother was simply buying them at very little cost.
She persuaded me to come back to live her, so that I didn't have to keep on travelling the 3-4 hours every few weeks to collect the items.
Once I got back here, I got really sick. I had some sort of viral infection (it seemed like chronic fatigue syndrome to me) as well as having hundreds of heart palpitations every day (my heart has been checked out and nothing intrinsically wrong with it). I was exhausted and feverish most days. Needless to say, the web site didn't happen for a while.
Then my brother LayZ boy came to live here too when his wife kicked him out and the rest is documented here - about his lunacy.
Once I am out of this house, away from these crazy, volatile, angry people, I wont have to be subjected to their angry tirades and volatile outbursts, it will be much better for me, because I wont be upset every day. Whatever idiotic things they want to do or say, I wont be exposed to it and that will make my life much better! I can then get on with my life and find my better life!

I have a really bad flu infection
I have been feeling so sick the last few days. I have a really bad flu infection.
It started on Saturday and became worse on Sunday and today (Monday), I still feel totally sick.
My throat got so sore, my sinuses got so inflamed and infected, to the point my teeth are hurting me, I have a bit of a cough, my head really hurts, I have a fever, I feel totally lethargic and my bones hurt. All this yucky yellow and red (blood) stuff is coming out of my nose that I have to spit out in a tissue. It's so gross!
I was sleeping most of the day on Saturday and Sunday as well as today. I didn't do anything else but lay on the couch and watch TV, drifting into sleep every so often on the weekend. Today, I spent most of the day in bed with the heater on and the cat at the foot of my bed.
I was quite hot and feverish last night and I have sweated through my pyjamas today that I had to have a shower to feel clean again.
My head just hurts so bad and my energy levels are so low.
I just came online today to check email and check some other things, really quickly and write these posts, but now I am so exhausted. I feel like I have run a marathon! I need to go back to bed!

You cant get sense out of people without any
Woke up this morning feeling like total crap. Still have the fever, still feel totally exhausted and sick. Definitely have the virus still. I decided not to get out of bed and stay there sleeping for another few hours because I really did not have the energy.
Later I went out to the sun room, where the cat and my step-father were sitting on the chairs there. My step-father said something about the cat always sleeping and I told him that he slept on my bed the last two nights and my step-father responded with, "That's your job" as he walked back inside to go to his ensuite to have a shower.
I later went back inside and when I came out to the sun room to see the cat again, immediately upon entering the sun room, my nose crinkled up in disgust to the smell in there, it was like an offence against my senses! My step-father had washed with some of my brother's toxic-smelling personal care products, which I cannot tolerate, as the chemicals they contain make me sick.
As soon as my step-father saw my involuntary response, he mocked me with, "Smells, smells, quick go away", laughing at me.
I don't think either he, my mother or my brother can comprehend that this stuff makes me sick. I am allergic to most personal care products (unless they are organic and mild) and being around the makes me itchy, makes me sneeze and makes me unable to breathe properly. And the fact that I am already feeling sick from a middle ear infection/sinusitis, just makes me more vulnerable.
They are ridiculous people who care naught for me.
Another illustration of this flagrant disregard for my health was that one day my brother LayZ Boy bought a hand soap that he got from a supermarket. He put it in the main bathroom, which I use too, but every time he used it, it would leave such a strong smell that would make me feel sick every time I had to use the bathroom. I then moved it to my parents' ensuite. I told them that it was too strong and I couldn't tolerate it as it made me sick. I was told "too bad" and the liquid soap was put back in the bathroom. And my mother even lied and said she bought it! What a liar!
That night I took the liquid soap and crept into my parents' ensuite late at night and placed it on their vanity.
The next day I asked them how can they justify using such a toxic liquid soap when they recycle the water from the bathroom and put it on the garden? Especially when she talks to everyone that she doesn't use any chemicals on her garden, but now she will be, so how can she justify it? She then talked some nonsense and said she would put it in the laundry, so I reminded her again that that water is again recycled into the garden. She again talked some nonsense, because she cant handle being shown she is totally wrong and I left, just shaking my head at her and her idiocy.
I think she may finally have understood the sense of what I was saying (even though she wont ever admit I told her so, she'll have to make out that it was her idea, yeah right!) and the liquid soap remains in their ensuite.
So basically when I tell her the liquid soap makes me ill, she takes no notice because she wants to make sure my brother does whatever he wants it's his soap (and he has more rights that me as far as she is concerned) and that I have no say in anything. Yet when I remind her that using the soap in the bathroom or the laundry means she is recycling all the chemicals onto the garden, only then she takes any notice. That's my mother. She is totally lacking in any motherly care for her only daughter, she only cares for herself and her son. I don't matter to her. I am alone here. I have no support or love here. I am totally isolated and alone, so no wonder I am sick all the time. That's my family. Or rather, my non-family!

Feeling sick - still
I still feel sick today. I woke up feeling like crap, everything in my head hurting me, a bit of a fever, feeling very exhausted and my lungs also hurting, but I had some food (blueberry smoothie) and I feel a bit better and I also took my iron and multivitamin formula too.
Thankfully, now my head doesn't hurt like it did when I woke up. I still have the fever, I still feel tired and my lungs hurt a bit, so at least one part is getting better, hopefully the rest will become better soon too. Here's hoping!
This is the whole problem with me. I am always getting sick. My immune system is so pummelled by the three idiots who I live with, the family who is supposed to love and support me, but who, instead give me abuse, violence and threats! So no wonder I am so susceptible to getting viral infections all the time.

I don't get so sick in other places, where I am nowhere near them. I know that I am worse in the city I live in, but I think it really is them. The constant negativity, the constant put downs, the constant demoralisation, the threat of violence and abuse, never feeling like I am safe, always on the defence, always needing to feel vigilant about my safety. All of this has to be bad for my immune system, which is being beaten down by this horrible behaviour. It's not right or fair that I have to bear the brunt of their anger with the world - I am not at fault and I am not the problem. It is them!
I need to get to sleep earlier tonight and have a more restful sleep to help give me the energy I need to feel better. Actually I need to have a bit of a lie down now, as I am feeling very exhausted from being on the computer for a while!

Heart palpitations
I have been feeling incredibly sad and wanted to cry so much all day yesterday, but it's almost like I don't even have the energy to do so.
In addition to this, I feel totally and utterly exhausted, drained of all my energy by these three people who call themselves my family.
On top of that, I have been getting these heart palpitations, which became really severe yesterday and last night, where my heart was beating incorrectly it seemed like almost every beat. I would get fast heartbeats for a few beats, followed by skipped beats and then a thumping beat. I have had this investigated previously and apparently I have "ectopic heartbeats" both ventricular and atrial, which means I get a heartbeat starting in either the top chambers of the heart (atria) or the lower chambers of the heart (ventricles) instead of in the sinoatrial node (in the area between the layers of the heart). I have also been having supra ventricular heartbeats, which is when the heart beats very quickly (over 100 beats a minute) but only for a very short duration, like for about 5-6 beats or so. All of this, the cardiologist told me, about a year ago, when I was first diagnosed, points to stress. So it comes as no surprise that it's been happening more and more lately and culminating so much last night, again.
I have also been feeling really tired physically and I feel like I have a bit of a fever for the last few days too, like as if I have some type of a viral infection. I feel quite warm today and really lethargic. This means I have some type of viral infection, but because I don't have any other symptoms (no sore throat, no upper or lower respiratory infection) it could be that my immune system is not functioning very well and I may have chronic fatigue syndrome. All I know is that I get sick like this all the time and it comes after being greatly stressed. I wake up feeling tired and I just want to sleep all day as I have zero energy. Not only am I a little feverish, but I also feel really dizzy, which could be due to the palpitations or it could be due to a middle ear infection (which I get quite often, several times a year) or it could be due to a gastrointestinal infection, the last two are definitely due to a virus.
I have been doing a lot more exercise these past three weeks. I started at 45 minutes a day, but now I am at 70 minutes a day. I have been walking up and down hills for about 45 minutes and then for about 25 minutes I do arm and leg exercise (Pilate's basically) to tone them up. I have noticed a difference in my body, but I think I have been over-doing it. I have been totally and utterly stressed by my family and I am putting more stress on my body with the daily exercise but not doing anything for stress-relief (like meditation or yoga or relaxation), which means my body is just getting overly stressed in every way with no respite, with too much pressure to bear all at once. Hence the heart palpitations and the fever and lethargy.
These people are literally draining all the energy out of me. I just need to get out of here, but with no energy, no money and no motivation, how can I????
