    Glad the funeral went okay, Katie. ((((hugs))))

    Putting a portfolio together at the moment of my photography to hopefully help me with photographic jobs in the future.
    Sam says that he has faith in me that I will go far in life. Maybe I will. I don't know. Photography and art is all I want to do. He says I certainly have enough talent without qualifications to get a lot of work. I don't know.I need to work on being less critical of my work and myself.

    I haven't been feeling great lately. I used to be able to talk to my doctor but now I can't. Used to talk to Janette, but now I can't talk to her either.

    I did something the other day though that made Sam proud of me. It was an enormous thing to do and I'm not sure if I can mention it here, but it was a massive step after relying on it to get me through for the last 7 years. I've done it before though and always ended up going back to it but this time I want it to be different. I'm scarred enough as it is.

    Sam keeps calling me beautiful. =/ Can't believe he's seen me in person and he still thinks that. =/ I think he needs glasses. I did ask him if he maybe wanted to borrow mine but he said that he can see perfectly fine.lol. Still think he needs them though. :rotfl:

    I'm really looking forward to seeing him in a couple of weeks.

    Gemma said that it's unlikely that she'll be coming on Wednesday but that she wants to see me before my birthday. She'll be seeing me the weekend after my birthday too.
    Still need birthday ideas as I'll be alone on my actual birthday and I don't want to just do nothing. Sam wants me to stay online to talk to him.lol.

    I think I'm just tipping my mind out now. Sorry.

    Welcome Arne and WPC. I'm Anni. :wave:

    I had a good day today,I went to the pub for lunch and met friends,got a few prizes for my daycentres christmas Raffle and I gave them to the staff to take back and they did.

    I am relaxing tonight and not doing much,just sent off to Andrex for a cute winter Andrex puppy for £6,£1.50 of which is going to a teenage cancer trust and I thought it was about time I supported such a cause.

    Have a lovely evening!

  • Hi all,

    Haven't posted here in a while... not sure if anyone will remember me, I posted a few months ago about anxiety and about having been a house hermit for two years. I'm back at college which i'm finding alright. Seems that the initial 'high' has worn off though, and I'm feeling rather down (not about college - in fact this is the only positive thing I have! - about life in general). I don't know what to do next, if that makes sense :confused:

    Do any of you find that caffeine makes you feel worse? I have been drinking a lot of tea, cola and also chocolate recently. Not sure whether I'm looking for something to blame, but my moods are erratic. I'm addicted again though, and it is better than the alternative (alcohol). :o:rolleyes::mad:

    Sorry for the rant, ignore at your leisure, just feels better to type it all out! x

    Heya CompletelyLost. I remember you! :D

    Great news about being back at college. What are you studying? Sometimes studying can be stressful and that's bound to have a detrimental on your mental health in general. Enrolling at college is a big thing after being a house hermit for two years and it is a great positive step. Remember to take each day as it comes hun and not overdo it. ((((hugs))))

    I find that caffeine makes me feel better.lol. Not sure why but it always puts me in a good mood.But I do know that it can have a depressant effect on some people. It has the same effect on some of my friends.
