I see what you're saying Ted. May well get both. But just to clarify - does that mean it would be ok to take the 5s all year round, or, like the 50s, should they also be stopped in April (I'm not taking any other supplements at the mo')?

You should not NEED to take vit d supplements in the summer because you should be able to get sufficient by going outside during the day and getting sunshine on your skin. But UK weather is sometimes crap and it is possible to go several days with cloud cover, rain and wind and nobody is going to lie in that with the hope of getting some sun and free vit d.
Therefore having some 5000iu would fill the gap BUT a 50000iu provides 12 days at 4000iu/d and it's unlikely either you or the MET office will predict a fortnights no sun at all in the UK.

So it really would only be safe for someone who was UNABLE to go outside in the summer, to take the 50,000iu. If it was really sunny and you had just taken a 50,000iu you'd be doubling up your vit d and getting more than you need if you went outside. But a shift worker may think it's a good idea as between 10 am and 3pm he might be always in bed and never get to see the sun when it's best for Vit d production.

Can you see the 5s give you more flexibility if the weathers crap and you feel you need a boost but ideally once it's April if you get outside 3 times a week and get plenty of skin exposed to the sun your wasting your money taking vit d, especially if you are taking the Cod Liver oil for the DHA it contains, as that will give you sufficient vit d to tide you over a few cloudy days.

I won't do it naturally, would never do it, the fact Im thinking its an easier way out than having to go to work / deal with my debts etc is really showing that there is a serious problem. I dont see a way out, everyone built me up on here about ASDA and I was sure it would be a new start, one day in its the same !!!! again, its f*cking happened again!

I dont believe it really, I cant believe it, just had a bit of a cry just then too!

I know it will get better, but I can't handle the "here and now" of sitting here feeling worse and worse about things, the thoughts of ASDA churning around in my head, the uniform, the store, the aisle, the work, the hours, the breaks, swiping in, everything is panicking me and making me think more and more and more.

It shouldnt be like this, I must have this condition worse than people seem to think, I almost wish my counselling was tonight, because they would have seen how bad it gets me. When Im fine, Im positive, Im me, but when Im down Im literally through the f*ckin floor, i had a mini panic at 12, had to stop myself crying and get a grip, that hasnt happened before, best way to describe it was a panic attack of sorts.

My worry is that if this doesnt work out (ASDA) then what do i do? This was my big chance to have another go in retail, but already im dreading things, when I was off work I was fine over Xmas, even started to get a bit bored in honesty but as soon as I return to work Im fooked.

Im working to live at the minute, I know I have to go in to pay my bills, thats extra stress because Im not making enough to live, if anything I should be doing more hours but there is no way I can do that, Im going to struggle with 3 nights initially. Its a huge huge mess, Im going to make an appointment at CAB tomorrow, and ring up Samaritans too, not now because people are about, I havent told my parents about my latest downturn because I dont want to worry them. Ill just get grief that Im not telling them everything when I am, If I knew the answer do they not think I would sort it out myself?

Im losing my enthusiasm for a lot of things, everything is such an effort, I cant read the chapter for my CBT I've got to, I used to read a book a day sometimes, I can read 4 pages before my mind wanders, I cant even bring myself to ring up the PCT to leave a message about counselling.

Ok hun, you're going to speak to CAB and Samaritans tomorrow, that's good. Probably right now the best thing you can do is try and get some rest. Try not to spend any more time tonight turning things over in your mind and worrying that everything's not going to come right straight away. Don't compare how you are now to how you used to be - that will just demoralise you. Do something relaxing now, a hot bath for example, listen to some music, then get some sleep. I'll be turning in myself soon. Then tomorrow's another day - talk to CAB - make a little more progress. Easy does it hun, everything won't get fixed right away. Take care, Sx

i have had another awful day..... got woken up by my mother to tell me "two council people are here to see you" so i got a bit of a shock as there was no arrangement.....so im getting ready and they are banging on the door, despite my mother telling them to wait! so shes lets them in while i get dressed etc, after that they proceeded to ask me about living arrangements, i told them everything, despite them trying to trip me up! so off they went, after an interrogation...

so i go to the cash point for my ill father and the bleeding machine takes the card as i went to check the balance! even though i entered the pin once and correctly!

i had to get my ill father out of bed and down to the bank to explain everything, after details were checked they allowed him to withdraw the amount he said the amount and i repeated it to the trainee, but shes gave us £100 more! so i had to explain to her to debit it back.

to make matters worse royal mail and DHL could not be bothered to knock on the door so left cards through the post box, so now i have to go to the local royal mail office (need to get up early friday as it shuts before midday) then trek to the DHL office! luckily the items are NOT mine (my name on them but not my items) and so i can get a lift for the DHL delivery, out of town, also they (royal mail) have incorrectly spelled my initial for the first name, i can imagine the fuss that will be made!

so i have to get up really early (which is a real mood and health killer for me)

Just a quick hi, to basically say i'm still alive.

Not going into details on here right now, need some time.

Hope everyone is okay. Sorry I don't have the strength to read all the thread, but I wish you all the best until I am ready to return and spill my guts out about what has happened (Please don't fear it!)

Best wishes to everyone :wave:

What a horrid day! can sympathise with having to get up early.I am NOT a morning person,always been a night owl never go to bed before 12 and it was 3am last night.luckily i work afternoons and younger son likes to get himself off to school(he is nearly15)both my sons are very independant and like their"me" time.I suppose a night job would be ideal for me but i have been 8 yrs in my present job and its only ten minutes walk away,boring but conveniant lol.
