    It is likely to get better, but it is no guarantee.

    You don't know that - you don't know with 100% certainty that it will get better, so don't make me false promises please :)

    I appreciate the hope I really do, I just don't want false promises cos they hurt so much :o

    3 bad days out of 10 isn't bad at all, so I've got nothing to complain about really.

    I just am being realistic - I might not beat this. That ain't admitting defeat or being pessimistic - just aware of the situation.

    That must be hard Carol :(

    At least I've had someone wrong with me for all my adult life - I'm used to living like this. Still hurts though.

    I am going to go out now, I'll be back at about 4pm, hope we can chat then x

  • We will get better, if we lose sight of the fact that we will get better then every day becomes a bad day, what are we aiming for if we wont ever get better?

    To manage days where we are bad, worse than bad, terrible, and not so bad?

    NO! We must realise that we will get better, through any means, we will find a way of coping with the bad days and make sure that at the end of the week, the good days are winning 6-1 / 5-2 / 4-3!!!

    I'm not making false promises, hun.

    I know you are feeling really low at the moment and the it's the depression thinking / talking.

    I'm not saying everything is going to be okay tomorrow, it will take time. Tomorrow things might be a little bit better but still crappy. It might not be tomorrow, the day after or next week but it will get better.

    I feel for how low you are know - I have been there far too many times myself.

    From your posts here and chatting to you I know you are a wonderful young lady with a lot to offer this world. Please take some heart in this.

    You have lots of friends here.
    You do deserve to be happy
    You do deserve not to feel like this.
    We do care about you.

    Hang in there - even if it's just for me ;)
