    Thank you everyone for the kind words and hugs.

    Daft as it sounds I am determined to be strong as this bout of depression has been so severe with suicidal thoughts that nothing else matters as much as me getting better. Yes I'm angry about what they have taken but I am like Vintage, things can be replaced.

    Thank you for allowing me to share my rantings with you :grouphug:

    Thankfully not too much mess and yes they have taken quite a bit but not the best of our stuff as we had taken it away with us :pAlso they have taken items like my DD2's Iphone which she had dropped down the toilet so she is excited to be getting a new one as our policy is new for old - so not all bad

    I am glad you have a good policy......though i know its not always just about getting something physical replaced. Hope it hasn't shaken you up too much as well - I was in the house one time when someone broke in - scared me silly, though i scared them too as they obviously thought the house was empty - i do laugh now when i think of them high tailing it down the road with me shouting all sorts after them :p

    Anyway i hope you get everything sorted quickly and easily - well done for posting your positive steps :D xxxxxx

    That doesn't sound daft at all TM - i know the feeling well! Just remember how much stronger you must feel to be able to focus so well on your goal of getting better :D Your fight for life and health comes from knowing you WILL get better and there is nothing more powerful than that in combating depression xxxxx
