    oh i just saw the cinema ticket thread - people were really nasty to you! sometimes i'm really disgusted by what i read on here!

    Yes but you didn't see the 2 replies to my post offering the free tickets did you? And both people deleted their posts now so I look like I'm going off on one over nothing! lol

    Oh wow, you must be so clever doing a degree like that! I imagine the work must be very difficult. I did a year of psychology at college. I wish I'd kept at it. :(
    Was very interesting. And part of me thinks I could have done with some of that knowledge now!! lol

    Part of me would like to go to college part time now to pick up on something like that. But working full time I am far too tired and stressed to take on anything extra.
    (I'm on the sick at the moment mind, but am suffering from short term memory loss as well as ridiculous mood swings!)

    dawnylou, i totaly understand what you mean about men doctors, i think thats why im in such a low mood 2nite as i had my assesment for councelling. Why do they not understand that I do not want a male to talk to you. I like you cannot look them in the face, maybe it would be the same with a woman as my previous councillor was a man but he was no good which is why im worse andnot better, he discharged me coz i never turned up for 2 appointmenst and put my antid dosage up to highest where im now hooked on it,i told him it was making me have suicidal thoughts-did he listen no did he care no way but im glad i got discharged.
    When I was first referred to a counsellor the thought that it could be a man never once crossed my mind!! :rolleyes:
    The waiting list was a year long but when my old doctor realised that I was having suicidal urges (I am too ashamed to admit to ayone else that I have these thoughts. I am so disgusted in myself I can't even bare to say it out loud!) she said she would try and hurry things along and I ended up getting into the sessions after just 3 or 4 months!

    Anyway after my first few sessions of just staring at my feet and crying I mentioned to my new doctor that I would prefer a female, but I was told to try and see a female counsellor I would have to go back onto the list all over again :rolleyes:

    Anyway I think it will all be over soon.
    Not that I think it has done me any good at all to just sit in a room with a stranger chatting about nothing in particular!

    With regards to driving....my driving instructor dumped me!!!! :eek::eek::eek:

    I don't want to go to work today. I'm not working in the branch I usually work at, I'm going somewhere else to do relief work. I'm really nervous I just feel like going back to bed and pretending to be sick.

    Hope everyone else has a good day.

    Xx

    Aw huni - just think if you manage to go through with it though. What an achievement!! You will be so proud of yourself!!! :)

    I hope you do cope well and I will be thinking of you all day! :)

    I am having a bad start to my day already - oh when wil it end?? - Fiance tried to get me to go back to bed for an hour because I'm tired but I resisted because I think if I go back to bed today I won't get up. :o

    morning everyone, and welcome to the newbies, not feeling great at mo, so forgive me for not remembering names.
    i even forgot my sons name yesterday, my memory is getting so bad. have been reffered back to the mental health team, for a re-assessment, as they are worried as my mental health is getting worse instead of better. think they are after me having a mental health social worker, not sure what they do?
    got to go back to the dentist for a filling later this morn, as the one i had done two weeks ago has come out already.
    hope you cope ok at work today meyore
    ethel, i am awful at getting started in a morn, seem to sit in my pj's far too long
    tiff, hope you have a good day, sounds exciting, going to watch ds in a show
    big hugs to all
    shaz x
    enjoy life, we only get one chance at it:)

    Good Morning all You Lovely & Beautiful People,
    There are to many names to mention you all, my memory is the worse you can get so its to all of you and that way no one is left out. Im so tired this morning, not feeling very well as Ive nt been taking my AD, when I dont take my seroxat I get the withdrawal affects, dizziness, shakes and feeling light headed and my bodys just knackered!!!!My own fault really, i am just so fed up taking it, the fact Im dependent on it makes me want to cry sometimes, as for the zispin i didnt bother taking it coz by the time I came off msn it was gone 2 oclock and I wanted to wake up without feeling like a zombie.

    Why are mornings stressful?Trying to get my son up and get him to eat his breakfast, get him dressed, i loose count the amout of times i say *come on eat your breakfast*, hurry up, *come on*-I say a million times and we still dont leave in time.I hate hearing my own voice, i sound like a nagging old bag, my poor son.I actually feel sorry for him for having a moaney mother like me but atleast Im taking him school. I hate the school run, its only round the corner so I dont have to go far which is great but its the thought of getting up and hearing my alarm clock, waking up to amy winehouse REHAB!!!! Hmmmm that is telling me something. I would actually like to go rehad for my depression if i had the money if they did such a thing but i dont have the money so when i win the lottery i will. Waiting for the nhs, I will be a manic depressive for ever. They do a great job i know, well some do, some just do it and dont even listen to you.

    I would love to do a degree in criminology, my sons dad is such a nasty peace of work, maybe i should be a copper to scare him but nothing scares him. He gets away with soooo much, the law knows what he does and he still gets away with it, living a nice cushty life.There is no justice in this country what so ever!!!What happened to all the laws ect.I wish I had to brains to study.Im due to have my interview next week for the childcare course, classroom assistant is something id like to do and the course starts in 2 weeks. Maybe i choose the wrong course, i dunno. I dont really know much anymore.
    I have a driving lesson in a few hours, im sorry to hear your driving instructor dumped you hun-his a fool. I cant concentrate though. I can hear him talking but not what his saying if you know what i mean and thats with everyone. I hear ppl talk and i take a bit in then my mind wonders off so I cant hear what someones saying after that.It can be embarrassing.My sons cottoned on to it he says *mum why aint u listening*but i am just cant properly.
    Hugs to all of u
    i still cant add the smileys lol wave
