    Aw, thank you darling. That's what Sheena said. Just wish I felt it.lol. But it's not about other people see me, it's about how I see myself and people could say I'm lovely as I am until they're blue in the face, it still doesn't change my perception of myself. :)

    I'm sorry to hear about you friend's mobile. Can you email instead? Or call around to his home?

    Dont look at yourself then:D . What you look like doesnt matter to you, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and that is everyone but you:p
    Its the person underneath that counts. A happy person always looks better than a sad person even though they have the same face.
    If you still dont believe me have a look in the mirror now and then after you read tomorrows joke and see how much better you look..
    Who I am is not important. What I do is.

    We never think much of ourselves, do we, I suppose we're conditioned to see it as arrogance.

    My friend could really do without having to buy a new phone, he is even shorter of cash than I am. These idiots don't think or care about the harm they do, do they? Still, karma should get them soon. We do have email, and he lives fairly close by, I just like knowing that we can call each other if we need some support. He always cheers me up, and he's the one person here who really cares about me.

    I'm alright. Not that great, but yeah. No one knows how down I am - I'm not diagnosed with depression or anything, although my tutor knew that I found things hard at times. Its up to you - how do you think you'll cope? If you think that you'll need support, it'd be better to say up front rather than struggle along, if you get me? xx

    Hello all, I've been lurking in this thread for a little while now. Was just wondering if I could join you. I seem to have found myself also in the 'Big D' club. Mine's work related stress and depression and had my first panic attack last week. Starting to really stress now coz I'm not sure how much longer i get sick leave before I go onto half pay. Also been cutting myself a little bit but nothing serious. Mood swings are really wearing me out - one minute I feel invincible - the next I'm suicidal.

    Best wishes to all, J xx
