    CCStar I think many people on here make a lot of effort to help/support you.

    Hello everyone, hope you're all doing ok today :)

    Sorry to hear about what happened at the counsellors september blues, that must've been an awful experience. Don't let it put you off though, I'm sure it'll do you good in the long run :)

    Good luck with your exams SF and Badgie :D I have faith in you :)

    Hi RBK, Alba, LadyM and anyone else about that I have managed to forget. My mind is like a sieve, nothing personal, honest :o

    Well, do you know I think it did help, because I came out of there thinking "I'm not going through this again"(panic attacks), and went into town to have a wander round and take my mind off things, whereas usually I would go home and think about what had happened. I called a friend and we are going to meet tomorrow and have a chat, I've been very insular lately and go over and over (bad) things in my mind. So I'm going to try and have a bit more fun in my life, it's been missing lately!

    Although it was a horrible experience it sounds as though its had a positive effect, hope that makes sense :)

    I hope you have a lovely time with your friend.

    Thanks, she was with the Mental Health Services (as a patient) for several years so she knows where I'm coming from. We go and sit in the local McDonalds, I have a cup of tea (89p) and we sit and talk for hours, I'm a cheap date! Am actually feeling a lot better today, it's been good to talk to you all.
    KEEP CALM AND keep taking the tablets :cool2:

    Sounds like a very positive step there, well done you :) Something good coming from something bad at least.
