    Hi Meyore :)

    I understand what you mean about hating your house, I hate my apartment too, we only moved here 4 months ago but I associate my depression with living here because I've never been like this before. We're moving as soon as the lease runs out and then hopefully it will help me get better.

    I always sit with all my blinds and windows open so I don't feel closed in.

    Did I read on another thread that you're getting married? When is the big day? I love weddings. (If you're not getting married and I'm getting mixed up just tell me to shut up :rotfl:)

    No you're right I am. My OH is in the army, so we can't live together properly until we get married. As a result I'm stuck at my mothers and I can't stand it. I love my mum, but our lifestyles are too different for me to stay here much longer.

    Not entirely sure when we're planning for-spring next year we're hoping for. Its hard to know where he is going to be based at any given time, but hes home on Thursday so thats when the real planning begins!

    I'm very excited! :D

    Work yesterday was crap, but not because of the thing I was dreading. That didn't happen. But today was really really good, and I remembered why I love my job.

    But last night I received some horrible emails from someone who used to be a friend. She says I've been !!!!!ing about her, which I haven't - she wasn't a particularly good friend, so I haven't even thought about her since we stopped speaking. And she says I lied about something which I didn't and I don't even know how she knows. And her can't even figure out to block her emails on this new hotmail thing; I thought I'd figured it, but just managed to delete one of the emails.

    And I've been tired all the time recently, and spending most of my time crying.

    I got married last summer (didn't last very long though but I got someone a million times better so it's ok :)) It's soooo great planning your wedding, costs an absolute fortune, wish I'd come on here then and got some money saving tips! If you ever wanna chat about it, PM and we can swap email addresses or something. I could talk about weddings all day long :D

    I went to a wedding fayre with OH last weekend, just for the fun of it, we pretended we were getting married so I got in for free, :rotfl:Had to walk around with a big "bride" sticker on :eek: and everyone kept asking when the big day was :rotfl: cheered me up a bit must say plus I got some freebies :T

    Glad you had a good day at work. Try not to let this person get you down too much, if she's got a problem, just let her get on with it and ignore her, she can't be worth it. Could you say her emails are spam so they go straight into your spam/bulk folder and then you don't even have to look at it?

    I hope you start to feel a bit better soon, big hugs xx

    Use your judgement, and above all, be honest with yourself. :)
