    Hello Everyone,
    well today I didnt do much as my tummy hurt as you all know already,its better now :) Mum and Dad came over to see me as a surprise :) I had lunch,then I went out to go food shopping,went to an indoor market first to get a travel card leather wallet which is great :)
    I then went to Tescos and looked at the dvds upstairs,nothing interested me so started on the food shop,got quite a few bargains :) brought a doughnut at 10p :) I carried out 4 bags of shopping altogether,I waited for a bus to come and collect me and it came after a wait of 15 mins or so,I got on :) it was packed and so hot and my coat was done up,I had to keep lifting my shopping for people to get off,anyway on route home I suddenly felt strange and I felt really sick and sweat was pouring off me,luckally I was by a pole and I bent head between knees to shake off the strange feeling,then I looked up and I still felt not right,so shut eyes for a few minutes.By the time I got to my stop I felt a bit better although I felt still bad so walked home,got indoors,unpacked shopping,no doughnut was there anymore,didnt know where It was gone,could have dropped out of bag or left on bus I havent a clue,so I went out to get another one from a bakery and that was really nice :) so that was my day,just drinking a nice fruity tea called Tetley Blackberry Balance and its from Tescos for 79p for 20 bags and its lovely,I had a sample first and I liked it that much,I got some and got 6 samples of a different flavour :)
    love and light,
    Katie xxx

  • Hello guys :hello: Sorry that I haven't posted here recently. Work is taking up my life atm :( Only tomorrow morning to go and then I'm off for 2 weeks :j although there is so much left to do at work :( Oh well. I have done my best.

    Ethel must be about because she wrote on my facebook wall.

    Although I haven't replied to you all individually I have read all the posts. Big (((HUGS))) to all those having a difficult time atm.

    WELCOME to all the new posters :) The depression thread family is getting bigger each day :) You guys offer so much support, it's fantastic.

    I am OK atm. I think work is a good distraction and I like being able to help others :) I haven't self-harmed or overdosed in over a month now so I'm really pleased about that. Thoughts of overdosing have come into my mind a few times but I haven't acted on them. So yeah I am OK :)

    I have been dieting since last Sunday. Eaten 30g of Special K for breakfast and lunch all week and been to the gym. I haven't felt that hungry either.

    I miss posting on here. Hopefully I will be back to regular posting soon so that I can catch up with you all properly.

    Tiff, What lovely photo's. You look stunning! :)

    I was feeling so positive yesterday and this morning, but I've just got back from seeing my CPN and feel awful. I'm probably going to have to go back on medication :cry:

    Hi juno!:hello:
    I hope you're feeling a bit better today hun.;)

    Don't worry angel - the positive bits will come back.hug.gif

    Let's look at this from another angle juno ok?
    You're bound to feel low if you weren't expecting that news sweetheart. ;)
    Plus you've also got an ear infection so all your reserves will be low. Earache is nasty so feel better soon angel.

    The good thing is that your CPN must have noticed that you're struggling angel. Although no-one wants to take meds hun, at least you know they're there to help you. Surely it's better to take the meds offered, than to struggle on slowly getting worse?

    If you've been on them before then you know they worked so it may be that you can get back on your feet and your drs might think you can come off them again at some point - who knows?:confused:

    I know you must be disappointed angel, but it's better to accept the help now than to feel any worse. Don't fret hun, okay? Thinking of you sweetie.hug.gif
    Much Love,
    Tiff xxx

    Afternoon :hello:
    Hows everyones day been?
    Rose and SF how are you today?

    I'm feeling down today and can't cheer myself up. I upset someone a few months ago, nothing major, but its worried me since so I thought I would ring them today to apologise. The number was dead and i've found out they have rented their house out. Not sure what to do now, i'm thinking of trying the letting agent to see if they will pass a letter on or give me any contact details if they are allowed? Or would it be better just to let it go?

    Hi zippy!:hello:
    Hope you're well angel?
    It's strange how, when we're feeling really low, we find the smallest things coming back to haunt us - even when there's no need. You were thoughtful enough to try and contact them to put things right.

    Obviously that person has moved on, in more ways than one, (I'm not being funny, hun!:o ) and I think that if you feel that strongly about it, then a letter to your friend explaining and left with the letting agent is the best idea. Make sure all your contact details are on it.

    This will give you some reassurance that at least you tried even if you don't hear back from them. There are probably a lot of things going on for this person, if they've moved and setting up their life again, so don't feel bad if you don't hear from them.;)
    I'm sure if the issue was important enough to them and they got really upset over it, you would have heard from them hun.
    Life's strange in that sometimes, people can dip in and out of our lives for various reasons. It needn't be bad - we just have different paths to follow and they can weave in and out. So where that person once stood, another will soon appear. We're always changing as people and so do our relationships. I wouldn't fret over it hun, especially if it wasn't anything really important.
    You tried your best zippy and that's all you can do.hug.gif
    Much Love,
    Tiff xxx

    I agree andi pandi :)
    Lifes too short.

    Been having a really rough time lately.
    Ended up blubbing like a little baby at work this morning - which is humiliating in itself - but then I had to sit there feeling rough with a sore head for the rest of the day.
    Now I'm home and I'm exhausted and still emotional :(

    Hi dawny! :hello:
    Sorry you're having a rough time angel - is it anything in particular that's brought this on if you don't mind me asking? Smack my muzzle if it gets where it shouldn't go ok?;)

    I'm sure no-one thought you were a baby hun - you must have been really upset and stressed out to be crying. If anyone had a problem with it, it's exactly that hun - their problem!;)

    You obviously needed to release all that emotion angel which is good for you. You cry as many times as you need to hun, until whatever it is doesn't hurt quite so much.

    You'll find that a lot of people who have counselling end up in floods of tears and often go home exhausted and usually with a headache from all the emotion - that's because, even though it sounds like a cliche, they're letting the pain out.
    If you don't feel any better sweetie, visit your gp and see what they say. If you're struggling, get the help you need
    angel ok?
    I hope you feel a bit better this morning dawny and I'm thinking of you. Be kind to yourself hun.hug.gif
    Much Love,
    Tiff xxx
