    no problem just keep typing it sometimes can help, my self esteem is shot too so i know how that can feel, people are always saying im 'intelligent' and are suprised by my age for the way i talk, even though i can sometimes get in to conflicts because im pretty openminded, but there is no use changing who you are, i would kill to be in your position with ladies falling at my side (is that my bedside :rotfl: ) so you should consider yourself lucky, just get yourself in to a meaningful relationship, if it works out with 'S' then just give it your best shot, make sure she maintains her stability too as you noted the problems she faces, you just have to think about yourself sometimes before others, i learned that quickly and the hardway!

    most of all good luck!

    People always say i'm nice & intelligent etc, but I never truly click with people - until now!

    Well, I don't want them falling by my bedside :rotfl: I only want the 1 lady :o

    I want a good relationship with her, with the emphasis on sharing and caring. Sex is for later, when we are both ready, if at all.

    I will think of myself, even if I will 99% of the time, put her first :o

    40 minutes until I leave - I am totally bricking it. I feel physically sick :o

    :A I was diagnosed with depression when I was in my late 20's but I had had these feelings as long as I could remember, certainly 5 years old. I come from an awful family blah blah blah - know the story?

    At 48 I decided that I was not going to spend the rest of my life depressed - or why bother? By 50 I was not depressed anymore - how? I had taken endless anti-depressents and saw a psychiatrist regularly - NHS, so Quite bonefide.

    I tried everything I came across - some really wacky. Everything gave me something to help me in my war, sometimes only a very little but worth having. I was reading a book about human resources and there was a mention of NLP - neuro linguistic programming. I thought it was worth a try and tapped NLP into a search engine. Came up with a company called Marlin who ran a taster course in Harlow. I went along and felt in my water it was a real possibility. I did the practitioner course - eight months of a weekend a month, hubby went along half price a deal they did (do) for partners.

    Threw ourselves into it - not easy - very painful - after the eight months our lives had changed. Depression gone. this was 2000 and I am still depression free. I have my ups and downs BUT THAT IS NORMAL it is not depression. When I was depressed I though people who were not depressed were happy all the time - GUESS WHAT - they are not. They have happy times and miserable times.

    About a year into my war I decided to have a song to help me. I chose 'I Will Survive' by Gloria Gaynor. I had it in the car and played it really loud.

    Getting out of depression is not easy, but I found it worth the fight. At some point in my young life I decided that I could not cope with what was happening to me and I went into this world they call depression because it was all I could do to protect my little self. Maybe I was lucky because it happened to me so young I had to learn strategies to live and work because there was no alternative but death. I chose life even though it was a strange existance.

    I can't say I will never be depressed again because I don't know what will happen. What I do know is that it doesn't have to be the end for me.

    Love to you all ::A

    Disaster - probably never see her again. Even Flatmate is very annoyed with her, she said nothing of what she said to her yesterday, and even flatmate is considering walking away from her.

    I'll explain shortly if I can stop being so angry.

    It's her not me, and the upset is not here yet, more anger. Flatmate is angry

    She's a liar, she can't tell the truth. She's very very unwell.

    I care for her so much, but maybe i'm not in love with her, maybe i'm in love with just 1 of her many personalities. I deserve better.

    I will be distraught later, now i'm just very angry. I've not been this angry for a long time.
