Write it on here Rose, pm anyone, anyone who stays around is willing to help, thats one of the reasons people are on here.
You want to talk to someone on the phone, I can do that, I'm a bloke as well and I am a bit of a bull in a china shop sometimes, but I also can be sort of sensitive as well
Its not as good as speaking to someone face to face, but then if you haven't got anyone..

I hope you didn't drink too much last night.

Morning everyone else.
If you take the first thread as being the start, we're one year old today who would have thought it.
Many thanks to everyone who had helped us move up from the arms and stay on MSE, including Glad, Edi lass and lots of others, sorry I can't say all of your names, but you know who you are, also of course, Martin, who has let us stay on his site, even after the unpleasantness before and his staff having to work extra hard because of us.

Happy birthday to us

happy birthday thread. i didnt find this till i was calean hate to think what i woulda posted if i did find it before.

nice one for starting it beer! do you ever post anywhere else? i never see you. i read on an early post some said you post under a diff name, i see al loads and used to see feelie. but i never see you.

what was the unpleasentness your on about? people being judgemental? hiding behind their pc's? i had that when i posted amends on here.

Yes I sometimes post in other places, I also have an AE which although I hardly ever use anymore, sometimes I do. I don't like to live my whole life on here, I like to get out, so I zip around MSE and spend alot of time here talking to people, but thats it.

The unpleasantness, was what forced us out of the arms and onto the health thread, we had some people wanting to upset the thread and it wasn't very nice.
Some people were banned and although they might be back under other names, we haven't had any trouble for a while. We also caused the staff at MSE alot of work, by them having to watch the thread all the time and them having to delete loads of messages, I think we learnt who were our real friends at that time.

i have to admit im better hearing someone than talkin to a piece of technology

i have had aload of vodka already today,

and yeah there a reason why

there is a friend of mine on the run and not well he rang me wanted to see me , i ended up meeting him and we drinking shots of vodka this afternoon dont know why, guess it was there. was a very hard situation.

now he has been saying things, and my meds have changed and in one day things have changed from bad to worse
