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 skintchick :hello:

So sorry I missed you last night, but welcome to the thread and big hugs hun, I hope the hugs still come in handy, even tho they are a bit late xx

How are you feeling today?

Y'know, in my book there's no "should" when it comes to how we feel, hun. You feel how you feel. Believe me, I know how 'inconvenient' that can be at times, to put it mildly:o But emotions are always true and will do their own thing, no matter how much we try to control them... trying to control them is often when the problems start... if that makes any sense? Anyway just my rambling thoughts hun xx

Hope you have a better day today. And you are always welcome here.

Take care and much love,
Sazzy xxxx

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
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.

Welcome pandora :hello: Hopefully once you've had a chat with the doctor, and things are a bit clearer, you'll feel a bit less apprehensive. There is a lot of help out there, even if it is the case that you are bi-polar. Let us know how you get on on friday and in the meantime please feel free to chat with us here. You are definitely not miserable or silly!

Much love,
Sazzy xxxx

I found the letter! It was underneath my bed. I managed to get out to post it. I got panicky though but I did it.

I swear Blade is on the rebound. I've never understood rebound relationships. Someone please enlighten me.

I had one rebound relationship. I think I mentioned the guy who got a new girlfriend not long after our 'fling', I had a brief relationship with someone straight after him.

I suppose in my case, I did it to cover up the hurt I felt that the relationship had ended. I wanted to feel wanted and attractive, and being with someone (anyone) seemed like the quickest way to do that!

Thanks. I've never had a rebound relationship which was why I wasn't sure why some people had them.

Blade and his fiancee have split up and he now has a new girlfriend. He told me that he didn't want to go out with the girl he was going out with and dumped her for his new girlfriend. Or so he says. Meh. I don't know. He dumped his ex-fiancee by email, which is what he did to me. I have this inherent feeling that I want to give his ex the biggest hug in the world.

Sounds like something I'd do A lot of people have problems with relationships like people have problems with alcohol. I'm sorry that its hurting you, have you considered breaking off contact?

Oh, and I wanted to say thanks for mentioning your letter - it reminded me that I had a wedding invitation to reply to, and I've got it all ready to post later today.

Yep. Blocked him on myspace now too. I already had him blocked on bebo and msn but I forgot I had him as a myspace friend. He says this new girlfriend is "the one". How many "the ones" does he need? Seriously.lol. Ah, well. His problem. I just hope nobody else gets hurt because his ex-fiancee is very upset and ha been messaging me and I'm not going to turn her away when she's feeling down and hurt. I'm too nice a person.lol.

I just received my new boots. I'll post a photo of me in my goth gear and new boots soon.

Hiya Skinty,

I'll always have a special place for you xxx

Hiya Pandora, welcome and help yourself to a hug

I have my near daily headache from hell today.
Just come out of a meeting and theoretically have an easy afternoon....so just gotta get thru it.

Had two weird txts from my ex last nite/this morn. She's having a go at me for something I haven't done when I have no knowledge as to what on earth she is on about. I think she's mixed me up with someone else.

TBH she is taking the mick....I don't here from her for ages and when I get a PM or txt it's advice she wants on software or something. We've been apart for longer than we were together now.....what does she think I owe her something?

I did my coursework the weekend this week....so I can get home and watch the footy without having 2hrs of homework to do......bliss. Now shall I watch arce/liv or chelsea....hmmmm......help me out here sazzy?

I'm glad Tiff is about (I loved the box of cat today). Pleased that Diamond is sorting her house out but hope her health gets better.

And to all you regulars and newbies...........live long and prosper
