    Hi shaz and wvw hope you don't mind me listening in on your chat ;)
    I'm so glad to see I'm not the only one to feel like things are going backwards, 3 months ago I was feeling so good and sleeping so well, now the wierd dreams are back. Some posts on sunday made me decide not to post here again but with the help of two members in particular and their PMs I don't see why I should run away due to one or two, lets just say not too nice people.

    Hope you both got some sleep finally. Chat later Sssssss

    glad you decided to stay, and keep posting, this thread has been a lifeline to me, and sometimes when things have been so bad, i doubt i would be here without the support i get in here

    sleep well, am off to bed now too, got my hot bean bags and a good book and the dog to keep my feet warm, and the pusscats will probably sneak in onto the bed too. I'll probably drop off with the light on and book open (usually do).

    De-caff - sometimes, when I remember or if I definitely need an early night. I don't have to get up tomorrow morning so it doesn't really matter tonight.

    Have a good day tomorrow - I'm home all day and will be online probably most of it. I've been making a sock monkey today (well actually a sock monster) and will try to post a photo of it tomorrow when its finished. It's quite cute and I'm quite pleased with it.

    look forward to seeing your sock monkey, i have often thought of making one, there is a thread about them, but always end up knitting to fill my spare time, either that or shop on ebay, which is becoming addictive lol, just got myself some ugg boots, cant wait til they arrive, they look so cosy

  • I came here to see if Tiff had posted only to see your post. 'not too nice people' (Sssssss) it's obvious you meant I was one of them. I'm deeply hurt by your comment and in floods of tears as I write this. Don't you think I torture myself enough as it is in day to day life by thinking I'm not good enough, horrible, evil, can never fit in with groups, odd one out....I don't need to feel isolated on the internet as well. This thread is starting to remind me so much of being back at school but instead of people whispering about you behind your back it's being done via PM.

    I welcomed you when you joined, even replied to one of your posts and I don't think you even acknowledged me, not that it matters, but don't start saying new posters aren't welcome because they are.

    just to echo sazrobo, rbk- it is horrible when people say nasty things but sometimes they just lash out or don't realise that they are being insensitive, hope yu get things worked out.

    I remember a few pages back people talking about the questionaire's (sp) the docs give you, does anyone have a link to a decent one on line because all the ones that I have ever done in the past few years keep suggesting that I am bipolar when I don't think I am- happy jo (as my friends call me when i am my usual self) is just that- my normal self and it only looks bad because I am happy and go through these patches of deepdepression which shows the difference a lot- think I am babbling again, more getting my thoughts out of my head instead of being constructive!

    and shall toddle off now to leave you all in peace from the crazy lady lol

    Hi rbk, I am deeply sorry and no you were not one of them. It was the person who I had an exchange of PM with over the weekend and called me a 'petulant child'. In fact it was you who gave me the strenght today to re-post on here again, just as you re-posted again over the weekend, so in one way you've helped me out. Please please please believe me when I say you were not one of the people who I refered to in my post. I too have always been a loner and over time have come to accept that's just the way I am, hey sometimes I enjoy my own company :)
