    bizzybek, well done you, for manageing going all that way on your own, you should be really proud of yourself
    meyore, glad you had a good day too, i'm going to my first ever execrcise class tommorrow, more a mix of dance and exercise, need to get fitter
    sf, glad today has been kinder for you too.
    tonight, i am especially proud of my son joshua, he has won a prize for the best bike design, a competion run by own local youth group. josh has special needs, and lacks attention, so has to try a lot harder than most kids, its first time he's won anything, he's going to have his picture in the local paper this week, and he gets a new bike, so i have no excuse for not going on bike rides this summer.
    big hugs all
    shaz x
    enjoy life, we only get one chance at it:)

  • Hi everyone, that's lovely news Shaz about your son! you must be so proud of him..hope he's proud of himself too...he should be! sounds like you're taking some really positive steps to make yourself feel better. Guitar lessons and keep fit...now, that's something i should be doing.

    Bizzybek..well done you! what a good start to the year..hope you're proud of yourself too.

    I have been to the doc today and been prescribed antid's (for the 2nd time in last few months) but I'm going to take these. was trying to battle on without but i just can't do it and i cannot go on the way I have been. i know it can take a while before I notice any improvement..feel like taking the boxful now so they can hurry up! They're different ones to those I've had in the past so hopefully I won't suffer the same bad effects I've had before.
  • SF..glad to hear your nan has improved a bit..hope this continues. you must be so worried.

    ILGD..hope you start to feel better soon, hopefully you will once the antibiotics take effect.

    Katie, glad you found your keys in the end. I go sick when something like that happens..it's horrible isn't it.

    Meyore , glad work went well for you today.
  • Dawnylou, ouch :( hope you manage to sleep and your pain is better tonight.

    Firstly, thanks to those who PM'd me & e-mailed me within the last 2 weeks. I shall get around to replying to you all in due course, when I am wide awake and not falling asleep at the PC!

    Also thank you to those who took the time to respond to my most recent post approximately 2 weeks ago. I'm dreading going back and reading the replies.

    Anyway, i'm still alive - no wait, i'm still existing. Although I don't feel like it, I have a flatmate and cats that need me. I'm hoping to move my flatmate on at some point - that's not as clinical as it sounds! I'm hoping she meets someone/some people and moves on and has a really happy life. My cats are getting on a bit and when they pass on, that will kill me anyway as they've been my best friends for over 13 years! I just have to hope something comes along and gives me something to live for, although I really can't see it happening! I meet all the wrong girls - want money, perfect looks and anything material. What ever happened to the nice young lady that wanted love, affection and companionship?

    I have nothing to give but a big heart, which isn't enough, well, according to all the ladies I meet.

    I'm still hugely depressed, but I guess i'm in the right place, especially as alot of anniversaries are happening right now regarding my partner and daughter.

    lou....have sent miro a pm a few days ago but no replies as yet.hope hes ok.think sometimes how much his life mirrors his idol, so lets hope both improve asap.

    That's why I have a relation with Britney - because in so many ways her life is like mine. People wouldn't understand that though!

    Yes, these things materialise in many different ways, but so many of them cause the same problems and some of the issues are exactly the same, so I relate to her. Even my flatmate points out how Britney's life and my life are very similar.

    Only I don't have looks or money :o Although I should be grateful I don't have everyone using and abusing me right now :o

    I guess many won't understand that, but we all have things we cling too, I cling to Britney's every breath and every footstep - it's safe, because i'll never meet her and I don't want to meet her, at least not in my current health! I've done the depressed man tries to help depressed girl thing too many times and they always end in disaster, plus she may not be as nice as I like to believe she is and it will blow the last 9 years of 'affection' out the window and depress me even more - shock horror - 'Britney is a self centered, shallow, nasty piece of work'. I don't think I would be able to accept that and I refuse to think that is true, so it's best I admire her from afar!

    Still, i'll always have the 'fantasy' of her being a nice person and both of us living happily ever after. I still want to be there for her when she's getting flak and when she's being used and abused, but that's the 'white knight' in me :o Totally depresses me when she's being used and appears in the magazines/on the news looking totally miserable :(

    At least until I hopefully meet a lady that I thought never existed and is totally adoreable.

    Ahhhhhhh, I could talk Britney forever, she's great :T It may make me sound sad, but I adore Britney and i'm proud of it :T

    Okay, i'll go to bed now and try and sleep it off :rotfl:
