I'm back! I survived!

She was really nice, and she was wearing the same shoes as me. I'm sure that's a good sign. She asked loads of questions, most of which I'd covered before with the other psychiatrist I saw (who was a fat old bloke and I didn't like him very much). But she asked them in a nicer way and sorta in more detail.

Anyway, I'v got an appointment to see her again September 9th, and I'm going to see my CPN a few more times before then. She's not given me any medication yet, because she's not sure what I need. She thinks it'll probably be "mood stablisers" though.

Hi guys!:hello:
Here's hoping that this Thursday evening finds you safe and sound.

Firstly, a Tiffy to our new friends! :j
I hope that you will find all the compassion, support and wise experience you need, from the guys here.:T :A


In all honesty, I don't know where to start.
Ironically, I don't know if I should!
Maybe ''in all honesty'' is the best place...

I've had a rough few days tbh here on the thread, followed by big things happening in Tiff World and bigger things to come next week.:o

In addition with events on the thread, unfinished still though I'm not resurrecting them, I was left feeling betrayed, hurt, truly and totally ticked and ready to pack up my Tiff-case and leave.

I hope you'll agree that I've never been a drama queen here, or anywhere, not threatening to leave every 12.7 days , or getting Tiffy tantrums, unless it was connected with smartie pilfering! (you know who you are!!! )

Being a virtual part of your lives has been a blessing and I am in constant admiration of your survival instincts.
I hope I have been able to help sometimes and I hold only the deepest respect and affection for my Tifflings. You are indeed brave souls and so deserving of your happy ever afters.:T :A

I must admit to the fact that the thread issue earlier this week upset me, because someone I was trying to help, someone I spoke to in a nice way in defence of a thread and it's members I care deeply about, turned on me and seemed to take great delight in unnecessarily harsh replies. I did not attack this person in any way and did not deserve the responses I got.
I do not like scenes and in fact, I've tried before to avert us losing the thread because of ''people'' having personal issues with other members, and then posting blind accusations heatedly and, at times, over-harshly.:o

We all read things differently and we say things differently and are probably even more sensitive and insensitive due to the type of thread this is. We have to be careful not to jump to conclusions and I stand by the fact that we should be treated with respect. I bear all this in mind.

So guys, I'm sure you can see the Tiffster heading for the catflap.:o


Well I thought about that seriously.
I've tried to always help and support the underdog (which is how life with depression can make us feel) and I've urged you all to keep fighting, no matter how hard it gets.
What a hypocrite I'd be, if I just up and left this great crowd when I've done nothing wrong imho.
Of course if anyone thinks I have and should leave, I'm sorry you feel that way...


...because I'm afraid Tiff's don't quit and anyone who really doesn't like me for any misguided reasons they may have, can basically Tiff-off and stop yanking my tail!:D

I don't want to leave what feels like a virtual family to me and I won't be bullied into it.

So if it's all right with all of you, I'd like to stay around and carry on being the same Tiff I've always been - but maybe with some extra catnip?

Before I finally go off to my basket, I just want to say to dawnylou that I'll be thinking of her and her OH getting those serious medical results tomorrow.
And to the rest of the family, be kind to yourselves. Thinking of you all and wishing you well.
Much Love,
Tiff xxx

This post made me cry

hun i hope you know that this thread would just not be the same without you. I am glad you are staying, as i know you are not a quitter.

You only need to look at how many people you have helped and supported hun (me included), to know that you are a valued member of this thread.

Your a truly amazing person with soo much too give and you always see the best in people. You are kind hearted and soo many people have respect for you.

You care for us all in our individual ways and you dont judge a person for something they say, you are neutral.

This thread sure has its ups and down, well i know i have my on and my off days, you all know that, but the fact that there is this place to come to, to vent, talk, or just let it out, is something special in itself.

Tiff you have been here since the start really, as have i and a few others here. And you have always been honest and full of advice.

You will always be part of this family hun, and im soo glad to hear you not going anywere.:T:T

Now you put your cat bed nicely on the floor there and curl up and have a good rest. And maybe we can see about getting the smartie cupboard stocked up

much love hun xxxx

k, im off to bed, got the gp tomorrow and not looking forward to it, not even sure what to say, and i gotta cycle there :rotfl:

take care everyone

na nite and sweet dreams xxx
