How long will this property website go on saving l the homeowners

triathlon

The property website HPC.com has for 15 years provided the thick home owning public advice on the inevitable and impending property crash. How long do you think this invaluable service will hopefully be around to continue to save us all. I am going for 2034 thereabouts

Forever. the website doesn't cost a lot to run and brings in cash.

Its a particular bad business. Make a few bucks by fooling your customers into losing hundreds of millions speculatively shorting the housing market

HPC has been sold at least once.
I am certain as I can be that the owners do.not want a real property crash and losses of revenue. They are well known for banning posters who suggest getting pro active on the so called housing crisis, that's the last thing they need, a property crash �� Best keep them addicted, ranting and raving for the next few decades about something they cannot change

Is your life that boring that you now have had to make another user account and have a conversation with yourself on here?

Nearly everyone's lives are boring. Its mainly just sleep, work, travel (to and from work) and eating.

It was never meant to work - its not even a therapy. its a scam. But thats not surprising given its the NHS - all they want is a cheap bulk pretend solution to all of this country's mental health problems so it looks like they are doing something.

I hope (and I actually do) that you find something to sort yourself out. I'd probably argue that there is nothing that can give you long term happiness other than yourself, so it doesn't really come as a surprise that someone is suggesting CBT doesn't last for life. It isn't supposed to be a cure, it is supposed to get you to a place where you can progress and figure stuff out yourself. An ex of mine went through it - took her 3 years, but she came to a point where she came off medications, and came out the other side of her depression. I like to think a large part of that was meeting me, having a fulfilling life, seeing a future, starting new hobbies, going out partying again etc etc. She'd had a messy divorce which had put her into a funk. If you spend your life waiting for other people to fix you, you will forever be saying well nothing works, I'm broken, it's the fault of the NHS, it's the fault of CBT, of doctors etc etc. Nobody other than you is responsible for your happiness. Spend less time on here and more time in the real world would be my best advice. Get a hobby, join a running club, whatever.

Anyway, I'd best not pollute the thread and let Great Ape and Great Ape, I mean Great Ape and 'Triathlon' get on with his / their debate about whatever it is. Hilarious.

Why did she become your ex? Was it the depression that caused you both to separate?

Telling someone with depression to just go out and do stuff is like telling a cancer patient to go out and do stuff and things will be better. This shows you have no clue about depression despite being in a relationship with someone with depression.

We all think we have the free will to do whatever we want, but actually we have no free will at all. Its an illusion. If someone has the genetics and the right environmental factors whilst being brought up to be a serial killer, that someone will be a serial killer.

Seemed to have hit a nerve ☺ . Just saying it's good if these people wanting to save us from our lovely warm independent homes with loved ones in the background as they type away on HPC 24/7 in their dark bedsits trying on the odd chance when they meet with a woman that they have a plan where they will one day take over all the luxury housing as they yet again politely walk off to a man with some realistic prospects

If you actually ever read what I wrote, you would have read that I said that I feel the reason she came out of her depression was that she met me, started doing hobbies again, went out, socialised etc etc. We separated for other reasons. Whilst we were together, she came off her meds, stopped needing counselling, and generally snapped out of her funk. i.e. it wasn't anything other than engaging with life again that made her better. Where have I said that I just told her to snap out of it? I actually thought what I wrote was quite reasonable - I'm at a loss as to how you have interpreted it how you have, but there we have it.
