    She is very very very damaged. I've never met anyone even as much as 10% damaged as she is, but when we have good times, they are like nothing I have experienced for so long, she is absolutely fantastic.

    We sound alike. 'S' is different in the way that it's her illness that is treating me bad. Flatmate and others can see she doesn't want to treat me bad - I can see it. She's scared and I don't want to leave her, I have grown very fond of her. I can still see her, but I need new interests, new friends.

    I don't throw loads of money at 'S', I don't have much. She really is too naive to use anyone, she's clueless, and when she's good, she's so kind, generous and caring.

    Right now, she's unwell............and i'm scared for her :o

    well there is only so mcuh you can do, you can be there for her, go out as freinds and just continue as you are, if you feel a freindship is worth continuing, i can only give advice on what you tell us, but ultimately you are with 'S' so you should know her better then somebody on the internet.....

    maybe if/when she sorts herself out she may 'see the light' and eventually wake up the fact that shes 'self destructing' others around her.

    you say you have good times then let them roll, just go out, meet new people, dont just rely on this person to be a 'maybe' on the relationship side you tried and she didnt want to know or cant make her mind up due to conflicts or her illness messing with her head.

    as any person on this planet you can only do so much, support so much and take so much before it really starts affecting you, sometimes you have to let go of certain things take a few steps back and control your own life, well try to....

    Well, she isn't going to have any kind of relationship with anyone, because she's not capable. I really don't know....

    Flatmate says hopefully she'll realise what she's lost and get in touch.........nobody sticks around, she has to make friends up.

    I know I owe it to myself to move on - I will - i'm going to Charity Shop tomorrow and asking about voluntary work. I was going too anyway, but i'm determined now.

    My problem is, I care too much. She's on self destruct, I don't want her to be alone......I care :o

    Hi guys!:hello:
    I'm sure you all probably know about it but "The Times" newspaper is giving away a free deep relaxation CD by Paul McKenna. It says in the advert that it is NOT hypnosis. May be worth a try.

    From "The Daily Mail" will be a series of free DVDs about health, exercise and lifestyle starting today I think. You have to take the coupon (not tokens) to WHSmiths from Monday to get them each day, but I think they have put free ones inside today's and tomorrow's papers.
    Much Love,

    God I need sleep!
    My depression has cycles within it from when I feel hyper to when I feel rock bottom. My sleeping pattern is affected too because when I feel hyper I just can't sleep even thought I want to. I have been referred to a consultant psychiatrist but the appointment is not til March. My doctor wants to keep me on me medication til then (Dosulepin 125mg).

    But I can't bloody sleep and now I'm cold, shivering and feel like a zombie. I have tried lavender, camomile, warm milk and even Whittards Dreamy Hot Chocolate drink. !!!!!! all.

    Anyone have any other advice?

    Hi cif - good to hear from you again hun!:hello:
    Sleep problems are awful cif I know.
    If you can, resist the urge for catnaps and keep busy until early-mid evening and then do the relaxation processes.

    If that hasn't done the job, I don't know if you work or if you have ankle-biters but if possible, try not to fight it too much and rest when you can. Believe it or not, lettuce leaves with the stalk in are good for depression and sleep if you take it regularly - maybe sandwiches.:rolleyes: ;)
    It's probably a good idea to see your GP again and tell them about the lack of sleep hun. They should be able to help the most hun.

    Intercourse is another option - STOP LAUGHING GUYS!!! - although not with your GP obviously!:D How is that for a real MSE :money: idea?!:rotfl: It's free, you'll hopefully :rolleyes: feel good and you'll sleep like a baby too!:T

    I'd steer clear of any supermarket or pharmacy sleep ''helpers'' or alternative meds because they may interact with what you're already taking. Hope you're ok hun - keep us posted and good luck with your March appointment angel.
    Much Love,
    Tiff xxx

    Ahhhhhhhh, it was so much easier when feelings weren't happening........the chances of rejection were so minute :o

    *Poops self and leaves*

    Hi miro hun!:hello:
    Although it may seem a strange thing to say hun, enjoy the feelings - that can be a sign of improvement in your health. Yes, the chances of rejection were minute but you never had any joy or fun or hope either! Now you are feeling just like anyone else would in your position.;)
    Sazzy - bring the shovel!!!:D :rotfl: ;)
