  • Hi Iceblond.

    I'm afraid I can't offer any advice on the processes as I'm in a similar boat to you. It's just nice to read about other people in my boat!

    I spoke to my doctor before Christmas about how I was feeling. I told him that I just felt like my stress and anxiety were rising all the time and I was finding it hard to cope with things.

    He diagnosed me with depression, I've not taken the tablets but now I know things are going to get sorted out and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel I feel so much better and I hope you'll start to feel that way too now things are getting fixed!

    Thank you for replying

    My doctors pretty decent, one you can actually talk to,I just feel so isolated sometimes and though I have good friends there all married and have children and there own lifes to lead. Just sorting out my finances will take a lot of pressure of me. And in todays financial crunch type of life Im better sorting it out now as in general its not good out there in the job/work world and Iwant to sort it out while Im employed etc.

    I have my BR date now to work towards, and the forms are being sent out to me, and my doctors this afternoon so my days busy, this is my day off today, Id normally be of to town buying something to compensate for how I feel but cannot do that now as I have chopped up my cards, I did that in a fit of I dont need you mood, feel bad now as Ive cut of my spending but its a good thing in the long term.

    Hope the doctor understands my silly shopping addiction, as that is what it was a kind of addiction.

    I hope you feel well soon, everydays different, this is going to be a real eyeopener for me and the first glance at myself makes me shut my eyes.
    But whats that film called oh yes Eyes Wide Open is how I need to look at myself,and deal with it. Hope things are ok with you and thank you for replying

    Many thanks to D for your message, Im not sure if I managed to send my reply properly but once again thank you.

    My doctors appointment went well, she listened and said that while she didnt think I was too depressed the fact that I felt I had to seek her help made it obvious things were not going well for me, so she suggested a couple of weeks of work which I said yes too, this might give me the time to sort myself out and sort out my finances.My employers are not going to be pleased but they can supervise there business themselves and see the stress Ive been under, couple of days should do it then they can run for the hills with stress working with the lazy so and so`s I have to supervise.

    I have finally sussed out how the SOA template works and will post it tommorow and hopefully get some comments back so that my BR forms are going to pass muster with with the judge/court.

    Have a good night
