gemini, i've been on the meds over 10 years now, i've cut down inb past even come off them for short while, but always end back on them, because circumstances at home never change.
both boys have a college place for when they leave school, think daniel will be able to hold down a part time job while studying, he is the more mature of the two
maybe after college josh will have matured enough too, i'll just have to wait and see.,
both boys are talking of wanting to live independently, think it'll be a long time for they are ready for that, they have no money sence at all

Hi guys!
Just got time to pop in to wish our amazing sazzy a truly wonderful ?*!th birthday!:T

You are a beautiful soul and I loves and misses you - and that's got nothing to do with the provision of double cream.

You've helped so many sazzy and I know you are highly thought of and muchly loved here.

So on behalf of myself and a few thousand others here who've had the pleasure of getting to know you...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAZZY, HUNNIE!

You're a real !

Have a fantastic day, angel.
Much Love Always,

Hi guys!

What better way of starting off a Wednesday morning?
CON-CAT-ULATIONS TO OUR LOVELY SAZZY AND GILLY-BROCKY-BADGIE!



I can't believe it's been a whole year already!

You both found a very special person in each other right here at MSE (and you weren't even looking! ) and I sincerely wish you both good luck, good health and every happiness for all the years to come.
Much Love,

hi all, hope everyone okay, getting their and if not will get better and look up soon. chin up those who need it, it'll get their soon im sure.
same old for me, plodding on although so called friends excluded me again with a hen night plus have only invited me to the evening for the wedding whilst the others been invited to the whole thing.
so me having had enough now and feeling brave has said thanks for the invite for the eve part of wedding but not able to make it now, and cheers for the invite to the hen party shame i couldnt make in-looks like i missed out on a good night? via facebook, so when i can im gonna see what the reply is and act accordingly? like with my sis, been really standing up for myself thier where i can too as she kept hiding her wall from me in facebook and is still playing a wannabe of me, the usual whatever i like she likes but it me copying her, not?
slipped back slightly (self harmed) and am just so sick of this now with the impression from these 'friends' plus others that im to be left out, treated as if im stupid, spoken down to condincendingly etc so im really having to up my game plan, think of what i can do to help myself and improve the situation. really hard though, as people are so used to me bieng a set way that now im putting my foot down it seems not only a challange/scary stuff for me it seems to send the others into a state of panic.

Hi everyone,

I've been lurking for a little while but only just come across this thread today. I've read through a fair bit of it and hoped it would be okay if I posted.

I'm suffering right now with pretty horrible depression. I have been for about a year now. I think I am having what could be termed as a 'quarter life crisis' it seems.

I'm really struggling to function at work at the moment, which is putting me further and further behind. I'm desperate to take time off to recover, but I only get SSP and I have a wedding and honeymoon to save for, so can't afford to take any time off unfortunately

I am considering going to university next year, and studying to become a paramedic. TOTALLY different from what I am doing now, but I would just love to do it! My only worry is that the financial pressure of being a student will push me over the edge again. Sigh, I feel really trapped and like I need help, but ultimately it's only me who can make the decision, but I just don't feel capable of it right now.

I'm sorry to just barge in and moan! I just feel like I needed to vent and the people on this thread seem amazing.

scotton86, your welcome here im sure and dont worry about it, given time and support you will get their and will achieve your dream(s).
hold on in their, isnt their a way of your doctor signing you off for a week or two on full pay perhaps? or could you spare a day or two of holiday/annual leave perhaps and visiting a friend down the coast or something like that?
have you tried the doctor? perhaps if you could be refered to the crisis team or someone like that that could help?
