    A couple of weeks ago I posted on here saying how depressed I was - and that I was so bad I was thinking of getting admitted to hospital.

    I went as promised to the doctors. Got some medication and am pleased to say that I am feeling 100% better - still bad but can actually reason with myself now. Thanks for all the support. I just thought I'd let you know how things got on. I'm off work and likely to be for a number of months. Maybe the pressure just got too much.

    Kindest Regards

    Hi :hello:

    Welcome to the new posters :)

    Stebiz glad you are feeling better already.

    I've had a nice day today, woke up feeling good, which after a difficult week was really nice. Saw someone I used to work with and she is coming around one day for a cuppa. I've been working hard to try and make friends and felt I was getting no where, but realise I have a few things to look forward to next week.
  • sf....getting better and plodding on. thanks xx

    Evening all, (((((((everyone who needs one))))))))

    Actually had a good day today, went to a car boot sale and got a couple of things. Felt good at having some money to spend for once, but only took £10 so I knew I couldn't go over that. Think I'm going to start collecting Wade Whimsies, just when I can afford it. A girl has got to have a hobby :)

    There's no point talking to my Oh about his drinking Slowly Fading, he reackons its under control and gets angry if I mention it. Last thing I want (need) is him angry at me, so I say nothing. He's been asleep most of the afternoon so thats been good.

    ilovegreatdanes :) I want a third star!!!!! its the little things that make you smile that matter isn't it. (Updated: I just realised I already have a third star... shows how much I notice :) )

    Tulip, hope you have a cooler evening, muggy weather gets everyone down.

    zippy, stebiz and razorbladkisses, hugs to all, hope everyone is feeling better

    Evenin! How has today been for you all?

    I went to our local open air market-primarily to get an 08 diary-& must say it was rather pleasant strolling round the stalls in the bit of breeze. Not too many people around either, so plenty of space. Couldn't see what I went for, but my luvverly mum bought me an arrangement of brightly coloured silk flowers in a cheely little snail shaped china pot for my hallway. She said they were anenomies, but I told her the snail looked friendly to me!:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    :sad: :cry:Wuddumeye gunna doo wivowt Casualty? :cry::cry:Eye wun my Kazutee ba-ha-hack:cry:And why would anyone want be in a hospital where all the staff keep dying :rotfl::rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    OK then....best go get ready for the morning. I've left my ironing till now, hoping it would be cooler, but don't fancy doing it. Oh Tulip, I wish I was as organised as you!

    Hurrumf...Ok....I'm going.....no really....this time.......Ok....here I am.......going....now....

    :hello: guys, I hope everyone has had a good day and enjoyed the hot weather. It certainly makes a change from all the rain.

    I had a really good day today. I went to see my Grandad. He moved down to the south coast last week and so I just went to see his new place. He took my parents and I out to lunch which was lovely :)

    What has everyone been up to today?

    Sending (((HUGS))) to you all xxx
