    Just popping in to say hello.

    I hope we are all doing as well as can be and that the summer months prove fruitful.

    I'm not around much at the moment as life and myself seem to dislike each other even more. I'm not sure how much more I can take of life, but i'm still breathing as I type this. I've been told to think of the future and the positives it may bring - a bit difficult when 99% of what you know is death, pain, destruction and lack of love and affection. I mean, who would want an unattractive, mentally damaged, in debt idiot like me, with my history, albeit none of it my fault.

    Take care all and I hope positive things are happening in all your lives.

    hi miro, (((((big hugs))))), good to see you posting, been wandering how you are. i know it seems hard now, but it will get better, try to enjoy each day as it comes and do one small thing that you enjoy each day whether its reading a book, listening to music etc, when you feel better about yourself and start smiling again, hopefully more people will notice and get to know you, thats what i'm hoping for anyway
    big hugs

    enjoy life, we only get one chance at it:)

    Hi Miro,Thanks for posting was wondering how you were,sorry things are so bad for you at the moment.Not really sure what to say just wish i had a majic wand and could make you feel better.I know you do not like to take AD,S but maybe a course would help you feel a little more positive.I think i remember you saying you did not like them because they made you feel like a zombie but not all AD,S have that effect maybe you tried the wrong ones for you or the dosage was to high?anyway if i was feeling as bad as you i would give anything a try. I hope you are not feeling so bad that you are thinking of ending things because i know you do have people that care,your flatmate for one,and i believe you have some family although you do not see much of them.You say 99% of what you know is death,pain,destruction and lack of love and affection so concentrate on that other 1% while you are living and breathing there is always hope of something better, please try and hang on to that.Not sure if you want any advise but for what it is worth i will tell you what works for me,i do not post much about myself but believe me the lack of love and affection is something i have lived with all my life the feeling is a major part of me but i live with it and at the moment am managing without sinking into the black hole and am proud of myself for that.I do it by keeping so busy that i have not time to dwell on it,i work 6hrs a day,spend lots of time online doing various things,i read a lot, anything that keeps me busy.Maybe it would not work for you but it is worth trying.I remember you posting about going to the gym to help with someone causing trouble,maybe you could go more often?they do say exercise can be a good help in improving mood.Also what about trying some more voluantry work?i know you had one job that did not work out but there are lots of organisations crying out for help.Just a couple of ideas and please try and remember this world is not ALL bad concentrate on that 1%.

    Heya Miro. Many hugs for you. ********hugs********

    The repairman is coming out to look at the leak on 15th April. My friend has his transplant on 15h April so I'm going to be on edge. The repairman better take his shoes off or I think I will flip.lol.

    I brought a babydoll type nightdress from ebay the other day and it arrived this morning. It's all frilly.:) Only cost £2.50 and it's new. I needed something to cheer myself up.

    I hope everyone is okay today. :) Sending many Morticia hugs your way. ********hugs********

    Hi elle!:hello:
    How are you hunnie? Thanks for posting with us elle. Of course no-one minds you joining in angel - I always find a gap in the fence to get through.wink.gif You're most welcome here hun.

    Hey everyone.
    Not posted on this thread before. Hope no one minds. Just feeling really sad at the moment. All the time. I know I'm going through a break up but I don't seem to be able to shake off this bad feeling. Feel lonely and lost.
    Obviously, I don't know any details, elle, but I'm sorry to hear about your break-up. Whatever the ins and outs, please try and remember that what you're feeling is completely natural.sLo_hug2.gif Everything is raw when you come out of a relationship hunnie and you need to be kind to yourself and give yourself some time to grieve over the break-up. How long has it been, elle? Were you feeling any of these emotions before the break-up?

    I can't say what's causing the sadness angel, but if you're concerned enough to post, it may be a good idea to see your gp and talk it over with them. Don't worry hunnie, they'll have heard it all before - you won't be wasting their time and it's better to tackle any problem as soon as possible, rather than to let it grow and fester.wink.gif
    If you think you'll find speaking to them too hard, I always suggest that people print off their post and show it to the dr. When people post here, they're in an emotional upheaval and the magic of this thread allows us to be brutally honest about how we're really feeling. This can help the dr to gain some insight into exactly how you're feeling. They may even refer you for some short term counselling - they really are a gateway to many resources. Either way, they're your frontline of contact as it were and they know your medical history angel. They'll be able to diagnose any mental ill health issues such as depression if necessary and will work with you on a plan of action.

    I know you're in a world of pain right now sweetie. It sounds to me like this was a real shock to you and you're bound to be feeling lonely and lost. You're having to rearrange your life and grow a new perspective and that's a healing process and it takes time for everybody.
    And the very fact that you posted, elle, shows that there is still some fight left in you! Just as the problem builds up piece by piece, you have to take it apart piece by piece too, so don't put too much pressure on yourself angel - just one step at a time!wink.gif
    And when you're ready hunnie, there are various options to get you back into the flow of life, and you'll show everyone the really nice person that I'm sure you are.
    I hope this helps a little, angel. Post whenever you want to, ok? Take care.sLo_hug2.gif
    Much Love,
    Tiff xxx
