:hello: Everyone,
I got up early today 7.00am as I had a cold which started last night,I went to get the bus to get to Pottery class the 2 hours go fast,I was on the pottery wheel again which I like and this time I made a slightly bigger bowl and I was very pleased with it,I went to Asda for dinner and I wasnt really totally impressed,Lukewarm potatoe with cheese on top with salad so I filled in a comment card and said they should make them hotter then I went to a daycentre to drop in some money for a xmas meal I am going to have next month with them,then went back into Asda and did a food shop,I got home and lay on my bed,I rang mum to say I dont feel too grand and I have a virus as my legs just shook,so in a minute I am going to have a sleep for an hour or so to see if I feel any better.Got warm slippers on and my dressing gown and pjs

I will chat later when I feel more up to it

Hi Everyone,
I have just rang Volkswagen re the Bourne Dvd Boxset and they know nothing about it, and I wont be getting it at all,I feel really cheated,I know some Mser's have had theirs and I am crying as I type this,they said it was someone sending an e-mail pretending to be them and I have been stung.I feel so unwell too and I am crying hard.They said if they hear anything re the dvd box set they will phone me,the saddest thing is I have the e-mails as proof that i won a boxset.
a very sad and unhappy Katie

Hi everyone

Looks like a few people have been having a tough time, hope everybody is feeling a bit better today. Katie - I hope you get better soon hun

I've not been too bad the past couple of days, only a few small panicky moments. I had my counselling yesterday which went ok. I had my meeting at work this morning which I was soooo scared about, got really upset on the way and started crying when I got in there but then I calmed myself down and answered all their questions. Felt like they were trying to catch me out, might just be me being paranoid though. They ended up giving me a formal caution and I have to be back in work on the 26th November or basically they are going to fire me, she didn't say those exact words but it's what she meant. I'm not going to worry about getting better for that date though, if I am great but my mind and body doesn't fit itself around them. I understand their reasons for wanting me back but putting pressure on myself to be better on that date wont do me any good.
I just managed to have a couple of hours sleep :j First time i've been able to nap in over a week, sooo needed it. Let's hope I start sleeping better at night as well.

Anyway big hugs to anybody that would like one (they're good hugs, honest )

Aww hun it's not what you need while you're not well is it. Could you not speak to somebody higher up at Volkswagen or send a copy of the email to prove you got it? Big hugs hun, try not to get too upset. You might feel a bit better once you've had a nap.

hi to all.
i had an ok day yesterday my son was 16 so he stayed off school and took me to lunch. he is a star. at night though i started to get that empty lonely feeling. its always worse when my oh is late shift and he comes in too tired for a chat or hug. it comes on suddenly for no apparent reason this feeling of being left out and not part of anything, feel lonely and uncared for even though i know i am. times like this i get v unsettled and usually spend too much on nice food an glossy mags, so today me an ma boy are watchin old eighties movies in out housecoats and catchin up on our reading. just have to resist the urge to overeat which is another of my problems when low. anyway hope all are well

I know that empty lonely feeling,i feel it all the time not got a oh got two sons but they are usualy in one room while i am in another,they like differant tv programes to me and seem happy in each others company.Feeling bad at the moment as i have had another fall out with my text friend,sounds pathetic i know but he was the only chink of light i had.I to tend to binge eat think its a way of trying to fill the emptyness does not work as you end up feeling guilty for binging and the weight piles back on.

i find it amazing that with depression we all feel so lonely and feel we are the only ones who are like this and knowbody else could ever feel like this but we all share so many likenesses and i find it comforting that its not just me
i hope that sound like i meant it, as i wouldnt wish anybody to go through what i feel, but its nice to know there is somebody the same its not just me and it kinda sets your mind at some kind of ease
oh god that sounds really bad, but believe me its not
i spose what im trying to say is this site has helped me alot and ive only been on just a short while.
so thank you all for being brave enough to share, and feel good in the fact although it hurts we are all helping each other as there is somebody else there and we only have to type a short message for somebody to say hello and make a difference

sorry got a bit soppy there

Hi Chelly

I know exactly what you mean, I used to feel very lonely and isolated and I still do quite a lot but coming on here and reading all your posts makes me realise i'm not alone or "weird". It is a great comfort this site, I'd be lost without it
