On the plus side, I got a really cute photo of Pippa, one of my mum's cats. She's so adorable.

Went to the physio yesterday and leg is healing well but hurts!! I have a lot of bruising except the area it hurts.

Mr stepdad is coming out of hospital today, I dread what my mum's life will be like, we can ferry them around but not do the stuff at home. The help is taking forever to get in place and costs far too much. Everyone is getting sick of the hospital visiting and he wants to go home.

Viewing a house later. I still have the dilemma - nicer house and cheaper in cost, share with OH - house alone, more expensive, flats, attached or horrible areas.

Our son is beginning to see sense in staying in more and outgrowing his mates here, so also househunting.

Supposed to be seeing CPN today. I'm lower than I have been for a while, bad thoughts are back, and I'm SH'ing and B/P more and more.

She phoned to cancel the appointment, and asked if I was okay. I clammed up and said 'I'm Fine'.

Nothing till 22nd now.

I hope no one minds me posting here but I'm wanting some advice on how I can support a friend that I'm concerned about.

We are more friendly than friends but she has involved some mutual friends in a dodgy investment and they have lost their money (she thought and still does think that it is just bad luck and the investment went wrong even though it is fairly obvious it was dodgy). No one blames her as she had as much info as them but as she introduced the idea to them she is devastated. She has made a few comments via email about her life insurance not being enough to pay back everyone but she is determined to spend her life trying to pay back the money to her friends.

I only have email contact with her and due to problems with shift work have no way of contacting her by phone, we live some way apart. Basically we meet up a few times a year when we have a big get together.

I made an effort to send her a nice friendly email as I was very worried about her remarks about her life insurance and how much of her emails are about how guilty she feels about the money. Frankly, I was given the brush off although in a very nice way . She told me that she appreciated the thoughts but prefers to talk rather than type (as we're never around to talk at the same time that is impossible).

I'm still really concerned about her - should I respect her wishes, which is what I would normally do, or ignore them and just keep emailing her chatty little notes to try and keep her mind off of her woes?

I honestly feel she is in at least a moderate, if not worse depression and was hoping that you guys can help me out here.
