    :hello: Everyone,

    wooh guess what? Jumps up and down in excitement,I have had a letter sent to me from Princes William and Harry :)

    it says:

    Hi Everyone,
    I went to get my post from my box this morning at home and I looked at an official looking envelope with Buckingham Palace stamped on it and I realised it was from Princes William and Harry :) Their secretary wrote to me on their behalf and it says :

    Dear Katie,
    Prince William and Prince Harry have asked me to thank you for your recent congratulatory letter in connection with the concert they held to celebrate the life of their mother Diana Princess of Wales.
    It was so kind of you to write as you did.Their Royal Hignesses are grateful to you for your kind words of support and have asked me to send their warmest thanks and best wishes.
    Yours sincerely,
    Mrs Claudia Holloway
    its on Clarence House headed paper as well,going to treasure that letter forever

    a very happy Katie xxx

    :mad: this site is so annoying. You write a long reply and then it won't post so you have to re-write the whole thing! :mad:

    happysinglemum, I've read the thread you are referring to and you really don't need to worry. Sometimes when we've had a drink it can alter our perceptions of things. I can assure you people like reading your posts. You definately aren't offensive at all (((HUGS)))

    flis21, How are you? Did you enjoy Harry Potter? I hope you have a good time at the BBQ this evening.

    It's good that you are finding things to do to prevent you from thinking about work.

    (((HUGS)))

    stebiz, I'm sorry to hear that you are feeling so low.

    How did you feel when you were taking Citalopram? Do you feel that it helped with your depression? Did you stop taking your medication or did your Doctor advise you to do so? I really think you should make an appointment ASAP to see your GP.

    Do you have a CPN or social worker whom you could contact? Do you have the number for the crisis team?

    If you are thinking of overdosing or anything like that please seek medical help straight away. A&E will have a duty psychiatrist available to assess you.

    I think a lot of us have felt extremely low at some point. A few of us here have been admitted to hospital. I've had a bad time this year, overdosed 5 times and been in a psychiatric hospital twice. You aren't alone (((HUGS))) Please don't suffer in silence.

    There is usually someone around on here who will be willing to listen/offer advice.

    Please get the help that you need.

    ilovegreatdanes, What a lovely post :) I agree the support that everyone provides here is amazing. I am very greatful to everyone :)

    Katie, How are you? Did you do anything nice today? Awww what a lovely letter that you received :) I bet that's made your day!

    slowlyfading, You lucky thing! :)¡Buenas vacaciones! ¡Cuidados! Hasta luego xxx

    I went to see my Grandad today. It was really good to see him. He's moving house at the end of the month. It will be so strange him not being around as much. Quite sad really. I went into town afterwards. I needed to get a tube of majirel hair color. I also bought a couple of necklaces, bracelets and earrings. I haven't been into town for ages and it was quite difficult today. I could feel myself becoming quote anxious, you know when you just know you've got to get out of a certain place and go home.

    I hope everyone is OK xxx
