    Jen, What an insensitive thing for your friend to say :( that's not going to help you at all. That reminds me of a colleague at work who said to me one day 'are you ever going to move out of home or just stay there forever' nice. :( Definitely talk through your options with someone before deciding on what to do. Are there specific people at Uni that could advise?

    Tbh Jen, without going to work I get even more depressed. It sounds sad but without work I don't have anything else in life.

    quote]

    She is quite sometimes; i dont think she understands the impact what she says has... and she still seems to believe that if i am given enough hassle (dont know another word for it) then i will suddenly come to my senses and get it together....

    lol it took me a long time to move out of home ... coming to uni was part of that as it is sort of a half way house between actually moving out and living at home IYKWIM.

    I know what you mean about work ... its not sad - it was the same for me but i found my job too stressful.

    How are you today? what do you do on a weekend?

    Jen

    hey all :hello:

    ((((big hugs)))) to Jen, sf, juno and anyone else who's having a bad day. Also anyone who'd just like one. And a welcome hug to anyone new that I've overlooked....

    Just thought I'd share a bit of good news I got today, I've got an interview for a new job next Thursday! Would have been Alex's 40th birthday so feel he's looking out for me a bit.

    Thanks!

    Thats brillant, its funny how things happen like that isnt it...

    Have you practised interview techniques and come up with answers to stupid questions?

    thanks rbk, it would be good if this works out, its the same job as I do at the moment but a smaller development of 12 residences.

    slowlyfading I worked this morning and then went into town briefly. There were way too many people about. I didn't like it. What's up hun?

    diamond I'm glad they were able to give your son something. He must have been in quite a bit of pain, poor thing. Hope the cream starts to work real soon.

    I was watching Eurovision but I've turned it over to watch Mean Girls.

    LM You have a lot of determiniation. Hopefully once you go to the clinic you will get the support you need. As someone else suggested, take it one day at a time. Is there any specific food that you love? We're all here to support you hun xxx

    Hi Jen :( some people don't seem to think before they speak sometimes. Just keep doing your best, that's all anyone can ever ask of you.

    I have lived away from home when I lived with my now ex boyfriend but atm I can't afford to rent a place myself so stuck at home for the time being. Oh well. I think I remember you saying you lived in a shared house, is that right? What's it like?

    I have to work every Saturday morning. Other than that I don't tend to do a great deal, just coursework, watching tv, internet. I guess having no friends doesn't really help either. If you don't mind me asking, how old are you?
