Hi hun - how are you dong hun? I couldn't help but think that Miro's post was totally innocent angel - I took it to mean that he hoped he hadn't implied that she was a tart.
<<snip>>

Yes and the word TART was not mentioned from my lips.

You don't have to be a tart to be used

I give up trying to help if I'm going to be misunderstood!

I give up on men full stop - they react to things that aren't even said yet they say the most dumb things and I'm supposed to take it and be the bad guy for getting upset!

I'm going to give this thread a miss now, I don't need this !!!!!! just now.

I shall probably be slated and hated now for standing up for myself, yet I have to take the !!!!!!.

I am leaving this thread

Please don't leave CC_Star.

I think I was the one who initially kicked it off by saying 'S' had not been used to love, only s*x. I wasn't implying she was a tart. You understood what I meant.

You are a valued contributor here. Hope to hear from you soon.

Hi, I work within mental health and see people daily with a range of difficulties and diagnoses from PND, OCD, Depression with anxiety ranging to psychosis/bi-polar the lot.

The one thing we all need, whether we have depression or not, is hope. Hope is the key to getting through this mad existence that we call Life.

Medication will solve part of the problems for most, and may even be the answer for some. However, effecting positive change, surrounding yourself with positive supporters (ie on this site), and finding inspiration that gives hope will (and does) help those that remain.

I come to this site because i'm hopeful of one day becoming debt free... through all the struggles and hardships, i need to hold on to the feeling of happiness when i eventually become debt free. I am determined to achieve that. I can and will. This is hope... this is what drives me forward and we all need something, it's just not easy at times seeing what is left that drives us and inspires us.

:beer: for all of us.

Hi Hibees1875

I totally agree. There are multiple factors and approaches to attacking depression. The more fronts you can work at it from the better. I also appreciate there are times where all you can manage is to take the medication.

I view medication like a crutch. On the bad days it just about keeps me here. On the good days it helps me to work on my problems in other ways.

Thank you for not flaming me and I will get stroppy if anyone does!

I read the message as him thinking I called her a tart and I never even mentioned the word. I haven't accused anyone of being a tart and never would!

I have been having trouble sleeping and haven't been to bed yet.

Some good news, I had a chat with my husband and went well. We both get upset and both making sure we understand each other, rather than attack each other when the other one is low. Funnily enough our conversation was about me getting overaggressive when I feel upset, goes back to a time I got bullied when I was nice and I am scared of getting caught out and getting humiliated.

I do wonder how much is chemical and how much is circumstantial.

I also worked in a mental hospital and saw varying states of health too.

I agree about helpful and positive people, not only when the going is good but when someone feels scared and lashes out.

Being in debt isn't nice but if you are on track to getting rid, then it helps.

Just wanted to wish you guys a good day
I'm off out for the day, but will hopefully catch up with you all later.
Sending special hugs to my Sis, Rosie, been thinking about you sweetie. Whenever I think of you, I remember one of my favourite Johnny Cash Songs, some of the lyrics:
You're the one rose that's left in my heart, dear I love you, adore you, I do
Oh we ought not to part I have said from the start You're the one rose that's left in my heart.
Will be thinking of you today sweetie, take care.
And to all my other special friends here, thank you all for being so lovely, love to you all - Mwah!
