We all need to be heard for a little while.

DH took his Mam to the garden centre today, so I went with them even though I'm not a big fan of garden centres, or indeed gardening! I just grabbed some flowers I liked the look of and potted them the best I could and well, let's hope for the best! :rotfl: We've got Percy Thrower one side and Alan Tichmarsh the other, seriously, it's like garden wars round here and we were letting the side down! It's looking very summery now!

Code, sorry you've had abit of a crappy day....no pun intended! Hope you're feeling better soon.

MU, sorry you've had a crap day too. I used to work in retail, and can totally sympathise how stressful full it can be sometimes (a lot of the time!). We used to have to work every Boxing Day. We were meant to get half an hour for dinner, but we were lucky if we got 5 mins, it was madness, and probably breaking the law regarding lunch breaks.

WaS, hope you have an awesome day tomorrow! Sounds like a lot of fun!

It was crappy but i feel better now. Weirdly, i think watching that documentary has helped. It's reassured me that even at the bleakest times, there can still be hope.

had a bath now talking to Swain and watching a bit f more lightnhearted telly

I must have been hard to read that note from your uncle Somewhere i still have the note i wrote during my first suicide attempt. I say note. Its actually 3 poems. Its hard to read over them. Knowing how bad i felt at the time, as the they progress the desperateness and despair kind of comes through. If anyone ever wants to read them i can give you the link but they are quite triggering for me, so probably would be for others.

Thank you for drawing that programme to my attention. I missed the first few mins, but have the recorder going on 4+1 now, so will be able to see it later

Its very emotional JM. But had a happy ending.

It's made me think what i'd do in that situation. God forbid it ever happened i feel i'd do my best to try and help if i could. I have honestly been there and felt it, and i'd hate to think of someone going though it who felt so bad they had no other options. I'd hop i could make a difference.

Just watching Jimmy Carrs stand up show. He talks about people who have a spider phobia and how to cure it (not really, because his way is quite graphic!), and I kid you not, out of the corner of my eye, this great big mahoosive spider crawled out of the kitchen! :eek: I had to shout of DH and I woke him up bless him!

I can quite happily deal with spiders and moths (I've rescued several ex bf's from both! )

Mushrooms though...*shudders* all of my nope! (I still don't understand that phobia....)

I saw part of the programme. I think if I was a passerby I'd be panicking about what to say in case I said something really stupid that was the final straw. I hope I'd say something helpful, but how would you know where to even start?

It was hard. Especially how shaky the writing was. You could feel the desperation, but also the determination to go through with it. It was straight to the point and you could tell he felt there was no other way. I wish the doctors had been there for him more and that he'd felt he could have talked to someone. I'm the only other person who's read it apart from my Aunty.

I didn't know you've been through that MU. (((Hugs))) Watching that programme tonight has been a real eye opener for me, I think it will have been for a lot of people to be honest. It's given me more of an understanding.

My Mam slipped on a mushroom in a Morrisons once! Luckily she didn't hurt herself. I found it very funny though, like slipping on a banana skin! :rotfl: I'm easily amused!

I've got a phobia of Opticians. Don't even know if there's a name for that one?!

I must admit i HATE getting my eyes tested, i hate the way they have to lean in really close to you! Feels like they are invading my personal space

Anyone who remembers Beau (well ex Beau) he;s just texted me telling me he;s going to try and make a go of things again with his ex (before me). I can't help but think its because he's feeling lonely and hating being single. I know i shouldn't care, but i'm the kind of person who doesn't want to see bad things happen to people even if they are a part of my past. Plus in my experience people are exes for a reason. I know there was some stuff he said after we split up that was unacceptable but i still don;t want to see him get hurt. I don;t have feeling for him. I just have doubts and don't know if i should reply to his message. And i dont think he;s messaged me to be malicious or anything, i've told him in the past i want to see him happy and he knows i'm with someone else.

Maybe it will work? I mean she was the one who was accepted by his family, where as i had to be kept a secret. So i guess they won;t have that barrier.
