Hi everyone

Boysma, sorry to hear about your son, there are some <insert suitable expletive here>'s about aren't there. Hope he isn't too shaken by it all.

I've been out and about this weekend catching up with my mate, we planned to have a few quiet drinks in and watch the Take That concert DVD... 3 and a half bottles of vodka later :eek::eek::eek: so was feeling a little delicate this morning. However a couple of very cold hours watching an incredibly dull football match soon cleared the cobwebs!

Piggin, I was hoping to watch dancing on ice but b/f has commandeered the TV to watch darts :mad: seriously what is the point?? Has Heather Mills danced yet?

My pad today is 50p to the change tin please Green. Sorry I'm gonna be doing rubbish pads not really helping your total!

Hope you've all had a good weekend, I'm not looking forward to work tomorrow!

xx

Evening All!

Boysma I hope your son is o.k :eek: It's awful reading about those thugs...happy slapping has got to f00king answer for...shame I had to read more stories of mindless violence from others on here too...what the hell is the world coming to when you can't walk to/from somewhere without worrying that some f))ker is going to give you a doing?! :mad: I sometimes get a bit freaked out when I'm the house by myself as someone came into the house when OH had left to go to work a couple of years ago (was about half 5/6am and I was 7months gone!) and I've not been able to settle properly since...hate to think what I'd be like if something bad happened to me out in the street!

Flower how'd your doctors appointment go?

Well thank you to all who wished me luck for today...I went in this morning but barely made it in on time after getting stuck in the snow only to be told that from now on I'll be the paper/pen pusher and (I quote) 'will be given all the s*it jobs to do because I only work part time' I obviously queried as to why all the s*it the week was to be left on my desk and I got the reply 'well, why shouldn't it be?' :mad: - After 3years of working with the same company you think I'd have at least managed to gain a wee bit of respect.

Pad for me is £10.00 please Green!

Hope you've all had a fab day! x

Basically gave me some relaxation advice - said it wasnt unusual after everything that has happened.
Was told i was showing signs of depression (which to be honest i kind of knew unfortuntly is something both my mother and grandmother suffered with) - he advised that he could give me some tablets. Thats not something i want to jump straight into though.

Im on a waiting list to see a councellor. The doctor wants to see me again in a few weeks (have another appointment for two weeks time) to re-assess the depression aspect.

Overall he told me alot of things i pretty much knew myself, but its just a case now of waiting to speak to someone and hopefully improve things for myself.

Thank you for asking.

think it round about 750 or 800 posts. I didn't notice mine straight away.

angelic thats a terrible way to treat people. When my sister went back to work after maternity leave for the second time, she was job share, but had no-one to share with, and found that everybody just left everything for her.

Has speaking with a GP made you feel any better?

Im not sure if 'better' would be the word i would use. It has made me realise that this isnt something i have to go through alone, and there is help out there.

If im honest it has scared me a little, in that i dont want to be labelled as someone suffering from depression - and i dont mean that in any disrespect to anyone who does suffer from depression.

I remember seeing my mother go through it, and at the moment am thinking that cant possibly be me. I am looking forward to speaking to a councellor, but not overly looking forward to this next 'assessment' with the doctors.

I was really annoyed a few weeks ago when I went in to talk over my shifts with them and so on, I found out that all the stuff I'd spent months working on had been ripped apart and f*cked up and of course, as I wasn't there I got the blame.

I don't think things will be left on my desk as I don't actually have one anymore :rolleyes: I appreciated my boss' honesty as I suppose I knew it was going to happen but they're pushed for staff anyway so I think maybe they shouldn't have such a horrible attitude....makes me want to go back on maternity leave!

I'm lucky in a way though as it's only 2 shifts a week but tomorrow's shift is 3.30 - 9.30pm and I'm going to miss the kids going to bed....that doesn't happen very often and I'm a wee bit upset about it because I've always been there for bedtime but annoyed at the same time because the office offically closes at 7pm so I'll be sitting by myself in an empty building, in a little office at someone else's desk doing other people's work

I think being scared is probably just a natural feeling under the circumstances. If you are clinically depressed then there is help out there for you and if you need to, grab it with both hands. It must have been hard on you to watch your mum go through it but you've got a (despite waking you up inthe middle of the night to tell you about his crap shift!) lovely, supportive OH who'll be there for you every step of the way...and us of course! :cool:
