Came across a real treat on YouTube

A young David Tennant in

Taking Over the Asylum

I saw this in Scotland back in 1994 - thought he was great then, so not surprising he has gone onto bigger things.

Ironically he wanted to be in Dr Who since he was a kid:)

More Scottish comedy

Sorry it has taken me a little while to reply. I have become a bit of a PS2 dance game fanatic.lol.

The only thing that happened with regards to the abuse was that I was put into care at the age of 14. I was put into care as a baby fpr 4 months because of neglect and abuse but I was then placed back home and the abuse started again up until I was 14, when the social services got involved again and found out about everything. I was told by a court psychiatrist that I could sue the local social services department but I decided not to, as it wouldn't really take all of the hurt or memories away.

I'm sorry that you were abused too. I was mentally abused by my ex and the scars are still raw. ********hugs********

Those dance mats sound really good fun and it burns up the calories.

Sorry to hear you were abused by your ex too - trouble is we hope the next nice person is the one we can trust but they let you down:(

Hi everyone again. :wave:

Having quite a good day today, been busy. OH went back this morning, which is always sad, but its his mum's birthday so we've been out for a meal and shoppping. Home now to get my stuff ready for work tomorrow-I don't want to go back, I want to be a lady of leisure :rotfl: Going back over in a bit for a BBQ-not that I really like them, but its better than sitting here moping!

Hope you're all doing ok XxxxX

Hi everybody

Not entirely sure whether you can help me, but I thought I'd give it a shot.

I used to be a very happy person. I don't describe myself as UNhappy now but I do seem to either be crying or angry. I never seem to laugh anymore.

Everybody around me seems to be deliberately awkward and making life difficult for me.....but I know they're not really.

They all seem to be really stupid and thoughtless..........I know they're not really.

I can't sleep. The temptation to drink a lot is soooo strong..............but I don't make a happy drunk anymore, but it does allow me to sleep.

Am I depressed?

Should I see a doctor?

I think I am going mad because I just don't recognise myself anymore.

Hi Fedupnow,Welcome to the thread.Only a gp can diagnose depression so yes i would suggest you visit your Doctor.Feeling unhappy ALL the time and trouble sleeping can be symptons of depression and i am sure you know drinking is not the answer infact although it may help you sleep alcohol is in itself a depressant and could be making your symptoms worse.

Heya.

I'm surviving - Anni style.lol.

I was abused as a child for 14 years so the memories are just of that and I get flashbacks and nightmares too. I've had extensive CAT to help me deal with it, but to no avail. I feel so stupid for getting upset over things that stopped happening 7 years ago.

Hi hun

Sorry to hear you were abused, something I fear most of us can probably relate to. I know I can. I was abused from when I was 3 or 4, the memories are still patchy.

No need to feel stupid hun, you feelings are important, something that could have effected us in childhood can still hurt us even when we are old. Sometimes the memories may never go, but to be able to talk about it and let some of the pain out can help. So well done for saying about your past.

We cant change the past but we can change the future. We have to find a way to deal with the past in the best way for us

What would help you hun?

This must have been had for you ((((((((hugs)))))))

I should have been put into care when i was little but the system is very different here, people turn a blind eye to such things, because the community is soo close, but it is wrong.

Do you remember the abuse you had to deal with? were you able to cope with how it made you feel?

I self harmed alot as a child, always just needed to get the pain out. As I couldnt handle what was happening, i was just farr too young to understand why people were hurting me so.

I think maybe you could do a piece of art to help you deal with what happened, but only if you feel safe to do so.

Hope your ok today

If ya ever wanna chat ya know where i am

take care
