I feel I can be a good member of the wimp club because… sometimes I feel sorry for myself and the old age I will be cheated of.
Love Debsxxx
anyone else?
Oh and I can start a daft club this should be in secondaries… help
i can be a wimp and a bit daft can I join both ?- especially feel wimpy and daft tonight!
Hi Debs
Think i qualify for both clubs. Feeling real sorry for myself right now, too many reasons to mention! and my
brain has turned to mulch on Tamoxifen. Can i join?

I’m a fully paid up member of both clubs Debs. x
Debs can I join both? Can’t remember what I did yesterday, forgot name of my fav actor, am frightened to move for fear I’ll pull another muscle and dressed my son in daughters clothes this morning!

Hi,
Add me to both as well !!!
Liz x
Yep, add me as well. Feeling very sorry for myself at the moment. I think it’s all the New Year stuff. I’d hoped to put last year firmly behind me but now I’m in the New, Better Year it, of course, hasn’t gone! The daft club bit goes with the territory!

I like the idea of a wimp club because hopefully it can knock on the head that patronising notion that only the brave and courageous get cancer. As John Diamond wrote: C…because cowards get cancer too.

Hi everyone
Definately up for the wimp club - everyone tells me how brave I am and what a good role model I am as I have "worked throught my treatment so well!!! As I say brave is something that you do out of choice - no one gave me a bl**dy choice with cancer - didn’t even get the first bite of the cherry - went straight to the rough stuff did not pass go did not pick up £200 or what every it is in monopoly now!! Anyway do people really think that you want them to see you when you are having a dark day - and yes I have them as I am sure all you ladies do. Whether they are days that I can’t stop crying or days when I feel to ill to do anything. Sorry whinge over - post New Year happiness syndrome!!!
Anyway up for the daft club too the chemo has left me with a brain like swiss cheese have to constantly make notes in meetings and often get half way to see someone - then forget who and what I am going to see them about - at least the walking back and for the is good for my weight loss!!!
Heres to happy club membership
Regards
Helen
I should be a ‘paid up member of the Wimp club’ Being feeling very sorry for myself over the past eight weeks due to GI symptoms.But what has made it worse is that even after all that D & V I have not lost a ounce in weight!!! Oh the injustice!! Feeling fat and miserable.
I want to join this club too. I am also looking to join a club for the paranoid and the delusional.
Deirdre
Count me in too. Been confused all week what day it is and had most disastrous day baking with my son - the results too awful to contemplate.
Lost some craft stuff and nearly got stuck in the bath. Having very wimpy moments and seem to have been in tears daily since christmas. Forgot about John Diamond’s book title - was it the book title or his newspaper column? See my brain has joined the swiss cheese club as well
Am paranoid and delusional too, Deirdre. The paranoia is awful but delusional can be fun.
Kate
Would love to join but cannot, just cannot be a wimp. I’ll have to be in the ‘be in my club - if you think you’re hard enough’… Well, I was always a difficult teenager…
This is not to say I don’t suffer from wimp symptoms but have awful fear of self-fulfilling prophesy, so happy living the lie…

Jenny - think I alternate between ‘living the lie’ and being a wimp.
Just remembered yesterday, I put the salt into the dishwasher but not the dishwasher tablet so all the plates, glasses and cutlery came out all salt covered and still dirty so had to do it all be hand as wasn’t convinced it would all come off if I rerun the dsihwasher but that’s not wimpish just dippyness.
Wimping today and yesterday as too cold to go out and want to be left alone with no-one to disturb me. Sad for myself and friends and family as always assumed that when kids grew up, hubby and I would go long distance walking, and holidaying with my sister and my close friend like my Nan used to do. Feel cheated that won’t see youngest leave primary school or twins do GCSEs, let alone the rest of their growing up and adult lives. Just got to age where i was having fun with them again despite the early teenage tantrums.
Feel sorry for myself today as back clicking badly and house a mess and although it shouldn’t bother me it does. Also still lost my ceramic paints or rather think hubby did but as can’t remember anything clearly who knows who put what where!!
Kate
I have definate potential for membership to this club. Trying to eradicate ‘thingy’ and ‘at the end of the day’ from my vocabulary - I fear I will never speak again!
Went to dinner party last night, a friends husband (who has already been told that I do not care to talk about my cancer - in public forums), starting drenching me with empathy re: the grieving my husband and I must be doing’! Some people deserve a smack!
Can we add a bit of intolerance bordering on thuggery to this club too please?
Fully paid up member of club already i think. I try not to care. Try my best to keep it together, mainly for my daughter. Frequently fail, whinge, scream, moan and cry. Wish it were not so but it is,
Most days getting daughter off to school, clean and with all she needs is enough. I work near enough full time (in theory). I feel I have to (financially) and will continue to do so as long as humanly possible.
I am no superwoman and if people ask me how I am, I tell them, much to their disgust!!

I think a bit of thuggery could be added to the criteria for the wimps club…mind you I’d rather like a few more friends who would talk to me about my death, dying, grieving, upset…rather than pretending its not going to happen or whispering about it behind my back…
Jane
Dippiness is quite unique to you, Kate!
I think I will have to leave my membership pending (if that is OK with the management) as I may well want to join one day.
Jenny

definately intolerance and potential for thuggery needs to be added although not sure if I’m using the word in the same or right way!!! Definately feel like hitting out at people who tell me how well I look and those who get cross with me when they have walked backwards or sideways into me when I’m on my mobility scooter when they haven’t looked!!
Agree Jane - nobody will talk about death and dying with me either and people want to ‘protect’ me from ‘bad’ news - like marraige breakups. Sometimes I want to talk non-cancer and listen to other people’s problems for a change. I’m also unsure how hubby’s family see my future so I asked my bro - in -law if his family appreciated how ill I was and he said they are all amazed I am stilll here and keep going. It would be nice if they told us that rather than making me feel as if our life is ‘normal’.
I told you about the dishwasher and no dishwasher tablet so all the crockery and cutlery came out covered in salt and had to rewash everything and then in last 2 days have managed to turn white socks pink due to my purple cardigan and the new teatowels grey due to my jeans and got all the timimg wrong on the toad in the hole today so don’t think I’m fully functioning at present - does that count as dippy?
Seem to have changed thread from wimp to daftness now.
Sleeping pills beginning to hit spot so stop now before I fall asleep with my hand on the keyboard as i’ve done frequently recently.
All the best to us wimps, paranoids, delusional, and general emotional wrecks.
Love Kate
