    Careful - Nope, I'm from southern Staffordshire. I do have a lot of American and Canadian friends online though, so that may explain that.

    I really need to get on with my DLA form too... annoying as they are.

    LameWolf, I don't want to do the granny/sucking eggs thing, but have you explored other avenues to help alleviate depression? Talking therapies/hypnitherapy etc?
    Can I ask if you're Unipolar or bipolar? My Sis always says she wishes she was Bipolar rathe than Unipolar as she would get so much done when she was in a manic episode :rolleyes:
    p.s. I'm sorry, but your OH sounds ********!!!!

    :rotfl:@ granny/egg sucking. Yes I've done all the therapy/CBT/counselling stuff. Didn't help; on the contrary, it made things a lot worse. I'm Unipolar. Constantly having to work to keep myself out of the black hole; but I gather that lupus does weird stuff to the brain chemistry, so that might be a contributory factor.

    I agree the menopause hormone stuff isn't helping.

    You are so right about the ex-OH, he was a grade one loser; but the one I have now more than makes up for it.:j:j:j

    I did (what was diagnosed as) the depression thing when I was 16ish and parents ran away and left me (long, long complicated story). I'm unconvinced now how much was the Black Dog and how much was the beginnings of ME (as I ended up in hospital with massive abdo pains that were eventually just put down to IBS, but consultant now thinks is ME related) :confused: ...Anyway, I digress...my point is, I can empathise, and I know what it can be like to struggle to stay out of the pit of despair, I really struggled after sister et al were involved in Tsunami :o

    You certainly made up for ex-OH with Mr LW! :T

    Speaking of OHs...mine managed to leave the heating on at my house on Sunday eve (when I chose option b Cwta ;))...a thing I only discoved on my return at 11am this morning!! :eek: I am now DREADING the bill :(
