If you were to seek out a bunch of people in real life who all had experience with depression like we do I'm sure they'd be just as accepting.

Hi Guys,
Most of you are asleep and im awake still as usual. Just been reading the posts. Hope your all ok.

Tulip uhn, driving lesson was ok, altho I feel im never going to pass my test as the manouvers are a bit difficult,it should be easy im a 30 year old woman but i just cant concentrate.He tells me what I have to do and well it goes through one ear and out the other. With every other aspect of driving im fine, but the 3 point turn, paralel reverse and all the rest of the dodgy manouvers yikes, I just wish i had someone that could help me with driving as practise makes perfect but i dont have anyone....

after i picked littleman up from school we went to mcdonalds,mmmm i love a bigmac meal.

when i got in, i crashed out, this happens to me often, i dont know if its from the sleepless nights as I couldnt move or keep my eyes open.I hate feeling like that, so weak that you cant move or keep your eyes open. I was like that till about 7pm, i just stayed on the sofa with my son trying to get onto the next level on his nintendo ds-kids games are actually hard!!!!

Tulip did you enjoy facebook???Hmm cant remember if i read it right lol and if it was you, im a little addicted to facebook so pm me if you want and i will add u and you can add all the silly applications and groups i have that i spend my precious time on lol.

Thank god its friday, no more school for 2days apart from getting up with the mad rush later on in the morning.I take my son to play football saturdays so dont get a sleep in saturdays either, only on sunday and well im like an alarm clock, tend to get up early anyway. Oh how i would love to get up at 1pm.

Poor Britney Spears, not a lot of ppl are being nice to her so Im glad she isnt getting stick on this thread.Is it any wonder she is suffering the way she is???Majority of ppl that have been in her life have used and abused her in different ways,she has hardly had no love and when your in the public eye and have loads of money in celebrity world its fashion and cool to do drugs even tough they know its wrong. She has got so much stick and such awful pressure from the press. !!!!!!!s they hounded her so badly when she was in the car in the middle of the road, if i was in her situation Id be the same.

I wish i could help her, same as Amy Winehouse. Yes they are adults, yes they know from right to wrong but everyone is in their face 24/7. You can never trust anyone as they secretly film you then quickly run to the papers selling the stories. No wonder Amy went the way she did, she lost her husband to prison, he is the love of her life, we have all made mistakes.

I hope and pray that they get better soon and get lots of love and care from genuine ppl.

I will never be famous and never want to be. I never want my son to be in the public eye coz ppl are evil cruel and vicious.

Im glad we are all nice on here, atleast we care about each other even though we dont know each other.

see ive gone on and on again, well atleast ive made u sleepy now

nite nite all xxxxxxxx

Hi guys!:hello:
Hope all is well with you.
I just want to share a couple of Tiffy Tips! (calm down gilly-badgie - I said 'tips'! Bad badger!)

You may have already heard about it, but just in case, I wanted to mention the Message In A Bottle scheme. This is available in different parts of the country and can also go under the name of Data Link. These schemes are along the line of the Medi-Alert theme - but it is NOT meant to replace that, you should still keep that. This is meant for use in the home, in case you suddenly take ill and can't communicate for some reason. (God forbid!)

What happens is that you obtain a special plastic bottle. Inside the bottle is a medical form. You fill in the medical form, put it inside the bottle and then you close the bottle. Said bottle is then deposited in your fridge. With the bottle, comes 2 or 3 stickers with a green cross on them. You stick one sticker onto the door of your fridge. You stick another sticker on the inside of your front door to alert paramedics that you've stored important medical information in your fridge. Once they see the sticker, they will look straight away for your fridge - so don't be tempted to put it anywhere else - and then they'll find your med history, allergies, meds etc. all in one place and that enables the paramedics to decide the best course to follow! I think this is a fantastic idea.
Even better is the fact that it's completely free!:money:

Now it may not be available in all areas - don't forget to check under the name Data Link too - but generally speaking, your local charity branch of the Lions Club, chemists, CAB, your surgery and your local neighbourhood watch service are all places that stand a good chance of having them. The Lions in particular have been promoting this scheme nationwide. To find your nearest Lions club, visit this link...

Another scheme which is really helpful is called ICE. When we need a paramedic etc., it's an emergency situation and who knows whether you'd be able to communicate with them to give them any information. It can be really important for the paramedics/hospital to know who to contact in an emergency as that person would then be able to help answer any questions or do certain things you're not in a position to do, like collecting the children from school, for example. Most people name their next of kin.
Mobile phones can be the bane of our lives, but with ICE, they can be a lifesaver. What you do is to enter the word ICE in your mobile as a new entry in your contacts list - this stands for In Case of Emergency - and you then enter the contact person's name and phone number. By calling it, and saving it,as ICE on your mobile, it should be near the top of your contacts list and the professionals would know who to contact. Again this is something that paramedics could check for, if you became hurt or ill while out. It saves them time trying to figure out who to notify because you've specified this person as the one to contact in an emergency situation.

I hope all of that made some sense guys, , and that it'll help someone!
Meanwhile, I'm off to my cat basket for a desperately needed catnap.
Have the best day you can, keep hope for tomorrow and safe journeys to you all.
Much Love,

Depression is not hereditary. I suspect he is depressed for a variety of things. Is this the one who gets into scrapes at school? Maybe it's to do with that?

they both tend to get into a lot of scrapes at school, but daniel is tougher physically, josh seems to be the one who puts up with it, and very rarely fights back, he longs for friends, and tries to fit in, but the others at his school are awful, they bully him, and get up to alsorts, which luckily he dosent want to get involved in
