    saw the doc this morning. ended up bawling my eyes out. I think I scared him.
    he said 'hmmmmmm, yes I think you may be suffering with depression'
    I stopped crying and looked at him as if to say 'no s**t sherlock!!'.

    He's given me some forms to fill out and return so that I can be put on the waiting list for a psycologist. (*sp.)

    sorry for being angry... i'm really angry today... i wonder why. I wish I knew.
    god, I hate feeling like this.

    I'm so glad it's friday...

    This just about sums it up for me!
    Last August I saw a practice nurse, she listened to my "ailments", watched me in tears and said "yes, I think you are under stress". I was more anxious about the tests she proceeded with -blood tests and being put on a heart monitor. Every thing was OK physically and the prescribed drugs ( 7 day course) helped even if I was like a zombie. But I'm still not better. In September a girl in Church asked me if I am depressed and I just looked at her and couldnt decide yes or no? She said our minister is very good with problems but I would have to approach him as he wouldnt presume to give advise otherwise. But I couldnt approach him. I'm just not good at asking for help, never have been, I just feel stupid.

    Hi Guys

    Sorry I haven't been around for a while. Been having a !!!!!! few weeks. You know when everything you touch, everything you do goes wrong? well that's been my few weeks. And I have a lot of anger at the moment :confused: I don't know why. I have never felt this angry before. I want to literally punch something. This could apparently be because of nicotine withdrawal. Tell you what, if I continue to feel like this, I will go and buy a pack of fags :mad:

    I hope everyone is well. I haven't read back (forgive me).

    RBK -Hope you are well.
    Tiff - Hope you and your mum are well.
    Rose - How's the love life? ;)
    Kate - What do you think of Kates choice of name for baby?

    Oh and I have discovered that I am in love with..............Keifer Sutherland!! Ohhh er! Just watched the 1st series of 24 and kinda fell for him. I am a sad ol' bint really. :D He's not even that good looking I just like the character Jack Bauer! Shut up Karrie. Ok. I am off. Gotta go to a party which I really don't want to go to.
    Please don't buy any ciggies - it's not worth it.
    When I was quitting I had a foul temper and several times nearly gave in, but am so glad I didn't the health benefits and the extra cash make it worthwhile :)
    You will get there huni.

    And how can you just have realised how hot Kiefer is?? Have you never seen Lost Boys?? :rotfl:

    Morning :D

    Thanks for your reply. I was sooo close to buying 10 cigs yesterday but didn't. I don't know where this temper/anger has come from. :confused: I am positive it down to quitting the cigarettes. But you are right, the health benefits are more important and my bank account has slightly more money in it lately, well quite a lot more money as I used to smoke 20 a day :eek:

    Anyway, went for a run this morning and feel much better.

    Oh and Kiefer?? Phwwwooarrr. I did see Lost Boys but many many years ago and my memory is [EMAIL="cr@p"]!!!!!![/EMAIL]. I now need to get series 2 just so I can drool.

    Hope you have a good day.
    Life is like a box of chocolates, ya never know what yer gonna get ;);)
