    Miro hun - did you think any further which film you wanted to see? I'm supposed to be going to see Marie Antoinette on Friday, which doesn't help you with reviews, I appreciate. But secretly hoping I can get out of it, just can't face going out know what I mean? :rolleyes:

    :idea: Saz - did you, miro & 's' get hit at the same time by lightning on Halloween?

    Or are you all switching personalities just to confuse Tiffy? :undecided

    Or maybe this whole board has just been all in my head?:shocked: :think:

    I'll ask the 5 other Tiffs and we'll get back to you!:D :rotfl:

    (...Tiff sneaks away to look for blue smarties!:shhh:)

    Wishing all of you a peaceful night. Tiff off for a catnap (groan - I know guys - sorry!) :rolleyes:

    Much love

    Question:

    I sort of posted this the other day in my original thread.

    When is the right time in the relationship to tell the other person about your depression / mental illness?

    To be it's not really a subject for early dates - I find you never know how anyone is going to react to what you say (even people you know well). I worry that the other person will think you're a psycho / madman / complete basket case. If you keep it back to long often they can sense there's something you're holding back and that can cause trust and related problems.

    I posted this question on a depression forum and was frankly shocked at some of the responses. Some people said should shouldn't tell. To me that seems wrong, it's not healthy and everything we do or experience shapes us in some way, even when we recover from our problems.

    Please don't fret about this question all night :)

    Always we remember we are brave admitting we have a problem and talking about it frankly hear. Please take some heart in that.

    Better go to bed. Work starts at 7am again.

    Sleep well. (HUG)


    Yeah I need to quit too. Not that I sleep anyway though. Alarm goes off at 6 LOL. All I'd say is it's a question of picking the right moment, not a helpful answer, I know. But R sounds like she'd be understanding about it, so I'd say probably honesty is the best policy x

    I know how that sounds - I don't like superficiality either. I'm very much a people person but it's taken me years to realise that - pity I lack the confidence to go and meet people.

    As Miro says we all need our downtime. :)

    Me thinks you are really 82, aren't you Tiffy ;) Acting all young when really your mind is playing tricks and you can't remember if you are Arthur or Martha :o

    Thanks, R is a caring, intelligent young lady and I had sort of touched on it before we first met.

    PS. Our first date was a long lunch - turned out to be 7 hours :eek: :D
