    geminilady Have you been to the Doctor re: eczema? Have you got any cream/ointment that you can apply? I guess being on your back it isn't an easy place to apply anything either :( I hope it clears up soon.

    meyore :hello: I bet you've enjoyed spending time with your OH :) Is he on an assessment again? Hope you're OK.

    Diamond No, I didn't fill in the council housing form. I'm not a priority as I live with my parents, it's not like I'm homeless. I could afford to rent a room in a house share type of arrangement but I don't really like being around people so it wouldn't be ideal. I guess I'll just have to save up until I can rent somewhere.

    I hope you get to move into your new place soon.

    ilovegreatdanes Just wondering are you a member of pigsback? Get well soon xxx

    Tulip (((HUGS))) I hope you start to feel better soon. Hope you have a relaxing evening.

    Hi everyone

    How is everyone?

    Not been around, as I have been down to London, then to Surrey, then home for a few days, then back down to London for a Interview for a Photography job.

    I am now applying for jobs down the South East, have applied for jobs at the BBC, contacted my mate at Pinewood studios (Shipperton) and various other places. Im one determined girlie ;)

    I have came to realise something recently, and its time to do something about it.

    I must show you all some of the photos I got, whilst down there.

    When at my interview, we had to go out onto the streets of London and take some street photography portraits. It was good to do it again. :D And made me realise....you do have to follow your dreams;)

    You can all do it, if you want to

    I still havent had any of my meds since the 15th of March!! nearly a month, and still ok. I thought i needed them to get by, but im getting there...im sure Tiff would tell me off for this. So dont no-one be getting ideas. what works for me, might not for others ;)

    OK better go apply for more jobs, think ive done 10 within the last 2 days

    Will show photos asap

    Much love to you all

    and of course.....huggles

    Tulip, Im sorry you had an offish day today. I hope you have a good nights sleep and feel a little better tomorrow.
    Im watching Skins at the mo, its made me cry so much, If Id known it would of been sad I would not of watched it.
    Landlord sent me message today and said he would sort things out today and contact me later. I am very impatient!!To me later is the same day but he hasnt got back to me today. I really feel he is messing with me now. I went to view another flat today. I still have to view other places just in case but we got lost.I rang up the agency and told them and she directed me to the oppiste way,me and ds was walking around for over an hour and then the agency rang to say the guy had left as we was 20mins late. I asked her so many times to ring the guy so he could direct me but she never.Arrghhh I was so annoyed, ds never once complained about all the walking about to I took him off to a adventure play area whee they climb,jump and go crazy.Poor thing, he was so good.He really keeps me going.Then went to my brothers as not seen him for a while, he suffers with epilepsy, he didnt seem well, I worry about him so much.I wish his epilepsy would stop but he has had it since he was a tenager.
    Hope evryone else is good and well.
    Sending you all hugs xxx

    Hi - can I come in?

    I am really down. Part depression, part pre-menstrual, part genuinely upset over stuff.

    I should be in bed but I am sitting her drinking wine wishing I could have a cigarette with tears in my eyes.

    I HATE feeling like this! I want to be in control of my emotions! I should be happy for crying out loud.

    I just need a bit of a hug.

    Hi, is it ok if I join this thread/group thingy please?
    Suffered from depression for approx 10 years, on loads of meds, had a breakdown, suicide attempts, blah blah blah, the usual stuff. Going for a chat with my doc on Friday though as my counsellor, my mum, a few other people, and now me, are all suspecting I'm actually bi-polar rather than clinically depressed. Trying to do a bit of research but it's really scaring me as it seems sooooooooooooooooooo much more to deal with and I'm scared of the stigma as it seems like 'more' of a mental illness than just clinical depression :o
    Also trying to figure out how it can develop as I'm sure I used to be 'just' depressed, but then again I could have been thinking that the highs were just non-depressed phases. I know you can't give out medical advice/diagnosis etc on here, just a bit worried about how it's going to affect me, and whether finding out I am or I'm not is going to send me into another really depressive phase.
    Just hoping for a bit of support and hopefully make some friends that understand I'm ill and not just being miserable or silly. :o
