How do you get to do that?

If you click on someones name in blue over there <---- a menu drops down, and you can choose send PM.
To read your PM's, looking in the top right corner, there is a little box that says how many private messages you have.
Let me know if you get the one I sent.

Hi everyone. Just got back from the doctors. He is very pleased with my progress:j and doesn't need to see me for another 2 months, unless I get bad again. He has given me a gym referral (to help both my weight and my depression) which gives me 2 one hour sessions free with an instructor, then 20 sessions at half price, so it should see me up to Christmas.

A bit scared, I have booked the first gym session with an instructor for tomorrow at 1pm, so I will come on here after and let you know how I get on. It will be good to be doing something positive, both for my weight and my depression.

Am feeling quite good now, which is an unusual, but very pleasant feeling!

I finally answered to phone to my personal trainer, 3 weeks I've been ignoring the phone - didn't realise it'd been that long.

I posted near the begining of this thread and cant beleive how it has grown! WOW!!!
I Just wanted to ask a quick question really.
I went to my drs on Friday as i have been really bad lately!
He has decided that medicaton just doesnt work for me. I have been on and off meds for years and never found the 'right one'.
Anyway he has refered me for councilling. I mentioned that i was thinking of trying st johns wort but that it affects contraception. He couldnt offer me any ideas for alternatives.
He has, as one last try, put me on Mirtazapine. Has anyone used this? I am concerned about what side effects i may experience. Can anyone help?
Thanks.

I am taking this one - no proble side effects - just it feels like i have a had a pre-mde for an operatoin: very sleepy after about one hour. But it certainly has not liefted the depression - I too have found nothing works for me but I hope it will for you,.

Thanks Rose. Saz is a real sweetheart too isn't he? I'm hoping Miro will find time to be a little bit more calm today, not so hard on himself.
Sadly, things are not black & white, or all or nothing - if it were, life would be very easy - but there are so many possibilities and shades of grey and we shouldn't jump to conclusions (says the voice of experience;) ).
Tiff-type vibes coming to you for a good Monday Rose Any kind of Monday is better than none! oh dear... I bet Karma heard that!:rolleyes: :rotfl:
