someone is watching you and that's not right, whether it's an old bag or a peado. It needs to be sorted, it's !!!!!!! with your head.

Kinda agree with hooters here Wanty...
If definately sounds as though someone is watching you.
If you have the strenght to complain to the police/social services then I would do so.
And if you think you know who is doing it, then all the better for them to investigate.

Good Luck

morning all, feeling really down again, dont seem to be able to pick myself up, the rubbish weather isnt helping either, its so dark and miserable, so looks like another day staying in seeing no one apart from the kids. would love to go outside for a walk, but while its raining, i'd have no chance of persuading the kids to go outside, and i cant leave them alone in the house. hope every one else is having a better day
big hugs

Hi guys!:hello:
I hope we're all safe and sound this morning peeps?

Ok - who was the last one in and left the front door open?! It seems we had a veritable stampede here last night - now you'll have to share your smarties with all our new friends! Nope - I'm not opening a new box!
Oops - think I've scared the new peeps away already. Just kidding everyone - the smarties are a little thread joke that pops up sometimes and before you ask, yes - I do know that I'm not a cat! That doesn't sound very convincing on a mental health thread, does it?!

Anyway, a most sincere and proper to our new friends loublue,specialk, shawz ,toothsmith, horace, tom(tomstickland), iom-rf, hooters, wanty(iwanttosave), hev, haribo(haribo-junkie), quasar, ws100(windowshopper-100), turkishd(turkishdelight) and nopot(nopot2pin).You'll find a wealth of support, experience and information on resources from the wonderful clan here, , guys - and I hope you'll stay around and get to know us a little more.

There seemed to be some confusion on where the depression thread is located. This thread is called Depression II but really, it's our 4th new home to the thread (so this'd be Part IV), - it's always been in the same place, it's just the titles that have changed. I was but a kitten when it all began. So as you will see, you were nearly all correct about it being in the marriages or health & beauty sections as they're all linked. And the thread covers any kind of mental ill health issues, not just depression.
Forums > Home, Work & Play > MoneySaving in Marriages, Relationships & Families > Health & Beauty MoneySaving » Depression Support Thread

Now that I've confused everyone completely, including myself, I'd just like to throw out a few Tiffbits...

- sazzy - good luck with work and the launch, angel. Hoping you're well - nice to see you posting again hunnie - we missed you!

- ilgd, meyore, katie, steph & et al who are poorly - get well soon guys. I'm sure it's all k9 related! Thinking of you all.

- to everyone going back to work today - !!! Seriously though - good luck everyone, and special thoughts to antronella and juno.

- rosie - who let you into Scotland?! I thought you were still barred after the last time? Take care hun.

I'm so behind with letters and pms, it's untrue - so sorry to anyone still waiting to hear from Tiffy. I'm trying, honestly. Thank you or your kind wishes for my mum too, guys.

Huge Tiffy hugs to everyone with counselling, appointments, treatment, meetings, assessments, college, workshops, anyone who is struggling, or who has poorly people they care about, or those who are feeling a little lost or lonely ~ or to anyone who needs one. Hang in there guys, ok?
Be kind to yourself everyone and safe journeys.
Much Love,
Tiff xxx

Hi to all,

"Working from Home" Today.
I went to bed late (1:30am) and then proceeded to lie there until 7am without a wink of sleep. Just cudn't turn my brain off. Nothing bad just silly stuff. What I want to do to the house, what I should sell on ebay.....
Then my alarm goes off after 2hrs sleep and here I am totally shattered and spost to be working. Can't see me doing a fat lot. So much for my new 208 keen-ness.

The influx last night was due to a merging of an arms thread into ours I suspect.

I'm cold, headachey and dead on my feet.
But me and Gloria Gaynor will survive.

PS
Weighed myself this morning and should be back on the diet.
But I have such a craving for comfort food today.....

Hi, I have posted this on the relationships page but was pointed here by Tulip (thank you), I hope you don't mind me adding this as I would really like some adcive and help.

I am in need of a little advice, I hope I have posted this in the right place.

My OH and I have been together for a year and a half, we are expecting our first baby in nine weeks time. Generally we are a very happy couple, we enjoy being together. The problem is I suffer from M.E and my partner has had to seriously change his life to fit in with my abilities. When we met I was well and we would go out every night, drinking lots and staying up late. My symptons became worse and by the time we had moved in together I was really ill again. I have attended M.E group sessions and we have both had to adapt our lives to my M.E. My OH had coped well with it but there are times when it becomes too much for him. He has has issues with depression in his life and things have been steadily getting worse and worse for a while. He drinks when he goes out but seems to drink too much and it brings out his insecurities and worries but in an angry way. Things that have happened while he has been like this include many smashed mirrors, bottles, glasses etc. We have managed to stop this and he hasn't done it for about 6 months. Now it manefests itself as him getting angry at me, paranoid about me cheating in him or going back to my ex (neither of these things have or will happen), upset that we don't have sex a lot (not thinking about my M.E, arguments making it difficult to feel like it and being preg!), he feels like I have stopped him seeing his friends which in a way I have, he is used to going out all night drinking and taking drugs and I feel worried about this as I can't go out for a long time and certainly can't drink anymore. I get jealous and it stops him going out which then means he resents me. When he does end up going out he gets really drunk and it usually ends with a nasty argument.

We are both at the end of our teathers to be honest. We hate the way this is affecting us. OH has made an appointment to see GP again, he was taking anti-d's but had recently stopped taking them as he was forgetting to take them and that made his mood worse. I want to know what he can ask GP for? We both feel that he needs to talk to someone about his general relationship issues. He has not has a healthy relationship history and he knows this now after we talked things through. Does anyone know how long the waiting list for NHS councelling would be? Do you think they might prioroties? As I said our baby is due in 9 weeks and we really want to be on the right path by then.

Any advice would be helpful. My partner and I are totally in this together, we have talked about it a lot, we now need to take action to help us both. I am sure that if he gets a grip on his depression then he will begin to feel more confident and happy with himself and that will affect the rest of our lives. I juwt wonder if anyone else has been in a similar situation or can offer advice about how to approach the GP or what to ask for?

Many thanks,

Purplegirl
