:hello: I've just got back from work. I had great fun IDing everyone for cigarettes since the age has gone up. And I got to refuse to serve someone

Lol bet that was fun!

Slowlyfading, if you did phone Nightline I don't think they'd know who was calling. You could always pretend to be Jane Smith if they did ask for your name. And if you get scared because you hink they'll recognise you, you could always either pretend it's for a friend, or ask for something else. Apparently they always get asked for pizza delivery numbers etc!

Really? I might give them a ring then if I need to! hope you're alright x

Hi everyone

How are we all?

BMF – Hi mum, how ya doing?
Now this meal, you need to put ya thinking cap on for this one, lol. Hmmm, well I think you should see what happens, maybe after the meal, you could say how much it was nice and all, but how ya a more sentimental thing, doesn’t have to be big to be beautiful, just say it how it is hun, you don’t wanna spend ya bday worrying whats gonna come.
And as for ya av, send it my way hun, will help ya there with my techie knowledge must be able to do something , take care you xxx

SF , hi hun, how r u feelin today? Are you looking after your cuts? Im gonna tell ya something someone taught me, no matter where you are or what your doing, there is always someone thinking of you, so you are always special in someones heart. And hearts are precious things hun.
Now what BMf said, there will be a student welfare officer you can go see, go see her asap hun, we are all here for you, but there only so much we can say and do. When I was severely ill in my last year, I was practically forced by a tutor of mine to go see the welfare officer after I emotionally and physically collapsed, he was very supportive. Now that there is a new year hun, is there someone you could talk to? A friend, a tutor or housemate etc…?
I know that uni can be a very stressful time, and the last year is a very hard one, and with all that been going on for you hun, you bound to be feelin carp, so you need little support to get ya energy and to get you out of how ya feeling, but its easier said than done, im sure Tiff will point you in the right direction tho, with all the info she gonna give ya, you take care hun, im always here if ya need, you know where I am xxx


Sazzie, hi hun, how r u? Was thinking bout ya this evening and how ya councelling went? Hope work isn’t too tiering either. Isnt work a pain eh hun, makes ya feel like ya don’t know which way ya going, hope you ok xx

Gillette Hi badger babe, how r u doing? Hows the kitchen coming on and work sounds like they got you busy, which is good, but don’t let it get too much xx

RBK, hi hun, how is the studying and ya job going? You know im always here if ya need xx

Dawnylou, god hun sounds like you really feeling it atm, I want you to know you are not alone, I was on citalopram, and it had an effect on me I was getting awful headaches, it also made me drowsy. I also want you to know when you have depression it takes over hun, you don’t realise it, but it begins to control you, not being able to do anything is part of this hun. When I was at my worst I didn’t eat for 2 weeks, I drank only mik, a didtn sleep, I didn’t get dressed, I didn’t see no point, that was a bout 2 years ago now. Before anyone here knew me. We are all here if you want to talk hun, shoulder to lean on is all ya need sometimes, talk here whenever ya need xx

Tulip, hi tulip, how r u? it sounds like you have been busy, exp on those comp boards, lol. Its good your finding things to do each day, keeping busy is good, but don’t over do it x

Juno , hi how r u? Sorry to hear you have been feelin awful atm, and do not beat yaself up about the drink hun, just see it as a false start, now you can start again. Don’t worry hun it will be ok x

Pills , I am very glad you managed to sort out things with your friend,….only wish the problem with my friend would get sorted, thing is she hurt me a lot, more than I thought she would, but I don’t think my friendship must mean anything to her as she hasn’t even tried to talk to me. Make me upset. x

Geminilady , hi how r u? have you managed to sort things out with your friend yet? Hope you do soon, as we all need a friend xx

Elona, hi, how r u? I know you read this thread, so just wanna send out some hugs to you, and hope all is well with ya xx

Feelinggood, you should be proud of yaself for how farr you have came x

Ethel , I hope your daughter is ok, and that you are ok too, you show such strength in the way you have dealt with your daughter and the way you mange things, I hope you realise how good ya are xx

Ilovegreatdanes , hello, how r u? hows ya dog doing, here is my little one,
http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n72/rose07_01/holly/IMGA0261.jpg
she is a right bundle a joy, but she not getting any younger, think she got arthiritis now, and like her owner she has numerous problems wrong with her, ahh well, like odog like owner lol xx


Tiff, hi , how r u? whats happened hun? x


Consnmattsmom, cb2, Carol, Charlene, fliss, pc, pj, blinky, all newbies, and anyone I have missed as there bound to be loads xxx

As for me,
im really struggling atm, have lost 2 friends in the last few weeks, and have watched another friend slowly slip away, what are ya meant to do when ya feel soo helpless?
This is also an awful month for me, this is the month where it all happens, this is the month I got raped in, the month I got attacked in, the month my ex split up with me, and I know this is gonna sound silly, but im really hurting, I really miss her, I feel like a part of me is missing, and all the things I put her through with my illness, I just want to say sorry to her, and be able to tell her just how much she means to me, I know we can never go back, and I know we can never be again, but I will always have a place in my heart for her, even tho she prob isn’t thinking of me, I think of her, and it hurts. And now we just haven’t spoke in ages, I don’t know what to do, I just wanna say sorry, I guess there is nothing like ya 1st love. X
There is also a lot else going on to the point rosie balancing on a type-rope…..wasnt going to say this, but another poster has encouraged me to talk, as well how can it help to keep things in?...on weekend I thought about ODing, I shut people out and go on lock down when im not well, and was like that, was shaking as It all became soo real. I didn’t do it, as all I had to do was look at my babys eyes and it makes my heart melt, she keeps me going. But it scared me, it scared me that it had came in my head and how close I was to doing it, and doing it properly, I miss my councellor, I miss having someone to talk to, a shoulder to lean on, I know I have friends but they are busy, and most of them are scattered all over the place, my best friends are in London, too farr away lol.

Im watching something on 4, that ya might wanna watch btw, its bout young people like meself who have been abused as a child, and it’s a project designed to help young people realise their potential, don’t know how long me eyes will stay open tho lol.

K, id better get off, as im wrecked and it only Tuesday….i think lol

Take care everyone

Hope your angels watch over ya



And remember there is always someone thinking of you, you are never alone

Hi guys!:hello:
How's everyone today?
I know that a few of us are having a hard time atm, so for anyone who needs it...



Or it will be!;) :A

I'd like to say sincere congratulations to oliver27 for being September's Post Of The Month! :T :j
And huge Tiffy hugs to the kind souls who put me forward - it meant a lot to me.:o :T :A
I think it's fantastic that there are so many people here that go out of their way to try and make a difference and try to help others.

You know guys, I've been thinking about it :think: - and I now realise that it was all part of a clever plot to cheer me up and make me a happy and fluffy Tiffster, just so that I wouldn't be eligible to post on the Depression thread anymore!!! :silenced:
And that would have meant that the smartie cupboard would have been conveniently left unguarded!:eek:
Well I'm on to you now - you can't Tiff a Tiffster!:D :rotfl:

I'm off to do smartie inventory!:cool:

*got to find out where that sazzy works & check her desk...miro's gone very quiet too...and what's katie up to right now?*

Have a good day guys & please look after yourselves.
Much Love,
Tiff xxx

Morning! Can't stay long as me muvva has decided we can visit A Supermarket that's an hour's Drive Away:eek: Unfortunately we like their stuff & prices, but it's our closest branch---told you us southerners miss out on soo many bargains!

:j Rose! Good to see you back! Guess the Tiffster has encouraged us all to 'de-clutter' our lives & get rid of the carp:o I am so sorry for your loss..but you know where we are OK?

Ethel, if we were in control of the country, Life would be sooooo much simpler:rotfl: Sometimes I think "the powers that be" just like to cause aggro so they can justify their inflated pay packets & stretch their egos! I know what I'd like to do to some of the little hitlers I have to deal with;)

To All of Us I raise a :coffee: & propose a toast I]I'll have marmite on mine please, &milk no sugar?[/I to"Get Us Through Today Without Major Hassel":beer: Lay-dees n Gennulmen.....hi Thangu!
Peaceful Minds folks.BMFx

Good morning my lovlies :wave: Am not a feeling 100% today, I think it's fair to say. It all gets a bit too much sometimes don't it?

But just wanted to say to Ethelbomber I hope they get their act together at the crisis unit today... let us know how you get on. It's a nightmare you getting messed about like that, as if you don't have enough on your plate right now.

Rosie, sorry to hear your having a tough time. But here's thing hun - I know what a brave, strong person you are - you've been an inspiration to us. All I can say is you've been through so much, I know you can do anything if you put you're mind to it (and that goes for all of you here x). And thank you for thinking of me Rosie, counselling last night was kinda tough going. I knew it wasn't going to be the easy option, which is why I put it off for so long, lol, but I'm trying to be a brave Sazzy.

Dawny hun - thanks for the tip - feeling zonked this morning, so I'll give it a go.

Katie - sorry your session yesterday was a bit difficult hun x I completely understand how you feel, it all gets so confusing and you don't know what to do for the best. But maybe it was just a bit too much too soon for you yesterday after a 6 week break hun? Take a step back and see how you feel about it in the next few days. Big hugs to you x

And Tiffy - I'd like to echo your congrats for oliver27, but I reckon you gave him a good run for his money:) The nominations and votes (thanks juno and Gilly x) came from the heart - and even though you didn't win, I hope it gave you some small indication of how we feel about you. I'm raiding the hat fund to buy you a prize of your own - I might just have enough to buy tea for you and that nice centurion... I think he's got the afternoon off;):D

Ok guys, I'd better quit.

Love and kisses to you all,
Sazzyxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

thanks, that's a lovely thing to say. I'm alright today, and my cuts are nice and clean and they're okay.

I will go if I feel that I need to, but I'm feeling okay today. There is a counselling service which I could go to. I dont want to burden my friends with this really, this is a really important year for us all and I dont want to be a pain for them as well.

I know that uni can be a very stressful time, and the last year is a very hard one, and with all that been going on for you hun, you bound to be feelin carp, so you need little support to get ya energy and to get you out of how ya feeling, but its easier said than done, im sure Tiff will point you in the right direction tho, with all the info she gonna give ya, you take care hun, im always here if ya need, you know where I am xxx

Thanks Rose, I'm here for you if you want to talk as well. I know you're feeling down at the moment, but I'm always around on msn or whatever. Keep that chin up. x x x

I went to the church and everyone was pleased to see me This afternoon I have just felt so so tired that I went to have a lie down and a sleep for an hour,then I had a bath.I would have gone for a walk but I just couldnt because of how tired I am feeling,Dont worry going to tell my parents later today that I still feel tired I havent been for a walk because of the way I feel and I dont like going for a walk on my own because its not much fun anymore .


Anyway I am going now to do some sluthing of my own to try and catch someone who did a murder in the game Agatha Christies And then there were None as that arrived today from Play.com so if I am not online later you will know what I am up to :rotfl:

feelinggood_2

Still no word from the CMHT. I have a feeling its going to be like last time and they won't bother getting in touch, then I'll chase them up, then they'll tell me that I'm not ill enough for thier help. I daren't phone them again incase, would rather hold on to a little bit of hope!

Not sure what will happen if they say no - my Doc won't alter my prescription, let me come of them or try something new. If they won't help, then I'll just have to stay as is with a medicine that doesn't make me any better lol.
