    Hi Tiff!:hello:

    Sorry to hear of your troubles at the pharmacy, RBK. Im sure they wouldn't have been laughing at you. Thats very unprofessional. Something like that can really upset your day can't it? Hope you are feeling a bit brighter this morning.

    hi Anni, sorry to hear you are feeling so rough. Try to take it easy and be patient with yourself. It will take a while to recover from glandular fever, and feeling ill for so long is bound to affect your mood. Try to enjoy having a good excuse to have a rest!

    Hi Shaz how are you? What you been up to today? I had a nice day seeing my family and some of my old friends
    hi rosepink, not been up to too much, still suffering after having a tooth out over a week ago and it got badly infected, just been chilling at home or at the parents, kids are loving it as i havent been well enough to stand and cook proper meals due to feeling dizzy, so been living off junk convenience foods, something my kids are not used to so they see it as a treat lol
    glad to hear you had a nice day seeing family and friends

    hugs

    shaz xxx
    enjoy life, we only get one chance at it:)

    My last post. I guess it will make some peoples day. It appears I have upset some people by writing my views in a truthfuil manner and for that I apologise. Like Ssssss and others I have been getting increasingly fed up with spending time writing posts and answers that then get deleted for very dubious reasons just because a board guide or abuse acts on advice of a mob with a different agenda.
    I think I misunderstood the ambiguous title of depression support. I thought it was to support those trying to find a way out of the misery of depression but it appears it is to support and maintain depression itself.
    For those of you who want change and a happier life my PM box will be open.
    For those that dont all I can say is carry on doing what you are now.
    Kind regards to all

    I really wish you didn't have to leave, AB. I agree that there seems to be certain people who act out of malice and hide it under the pretext of 'reporting abuse'. I think there is room for us all here. As I have said before, I don't always agree with everything you say, but it is interesting and refreshing getting a different point of view. I like a debate even if in the end you still disagree with someone.

    Some people have been upset by your comments and its not their fault if they feel this way but there is the ignore button. By the same token some people have been upset by having their posts removed which is wrong too. We are all here for support and possibly help and there isn't anyone here at the moment that I think should be leaving. If it was up to me both you and Sssssss would stay.

    Hugs to anyone that needs them.

    As you state the above is your last post i will try not to say anything which needs a reply.The posts which are deleated are removed because they do not follow board rules.I have seen no evidance of a "mob"with a differant agenda and even if there were i am sure the guides would not take action on their say so.Your comment that this board appears to support and maintain depression is complete rubbish .If people think you can change their lives and give them a happier life they are of course free to pm you.I however will continue to take advise from my GP.

    Depressed all I want to do is eat- not good for my diet, and drink-also no good for my diet or spend money, which is not a good idea at mo.

    kids are driving me mad and upset cause think my mood is rubbing off on youngest aged 7, he threatened to kill himself this am! I have never spoken like that in front of him, scared for him.

    I have managed my depression on and off by myself ni medication for 11 years, think if i have more good days than bad I am ok?

    But I took voluntary redundancy-seemed like a good idea at the time, take my money and get out of a job i disliked, but now my hubbie is at risk of losing his job.

    He has just upset me as he says it will have to be 1st one to get a full time job, which I just don`t want to do.

    Apart from depression we have our health and no debts and I know it could be alot worse, but that dosn`t help.

    Thinking about going to see the GP,but feel then I have failed, can`t afford the prescription anyway!

    I agree that bounder has been screwed. There sems to have been a sudden influx of people recruited by rosepink from the weekly flylady thread ie xx_jo_xx , ZCC72 and Mrs tootifrooti. All new to this thread :rolleyes:
    Flames in the Garden of Eden
    Heaven in pieces at my feet
    I faced the raging ruins
    Of a million sleepless nights
    I need to rest my weary head
    On your resurrection bed.
