This thread is a continuation of THIS THREAD

Clinical depression is a recognised condition that affects people in many different ways often altering the sufferers personality and ability to function in a 'normal' manner. It can affect thinking, judgement, and social behaviour in ways that cause serious problems and embarrassment.

If the depression support thread on MSE is to continue it must be remembered that not all posters on this thread will always be able to express their feelings in a nice, sociable way.

If you find the posts of any particular member difficult to deal with then the ignore facility is available. Just as one person may not be in a place where they can post 'nicely', another may not be in a place where they are able to read said posts.

Please remember that this is a money saving site and the following should not be discussed

PM's are private and should not be posted in a thread

Please respect the fact that MSE allows this thread on what is a moneysaving site :)

    hi all, how is everyone, not been around for a while, having internet probs,and waiting for new modem.

    had a lovely massage today which was really relaxing, then went to see my parents this afternoon.
    got back just before son was due in from school, so didnt bother locking the door, and my ex called and just walked right into my house, totally unexpected. was totally shocked and felt scared and after he left, i was shaking and in tears, taken me until now to calm down.
    big hugs all

    Ooo we've been moved again.lol.

    Ccstar - I only answer the door if I'm expecting people. I get very anxious when someone knocks on the door because the sound makes me jump Heck, my own shadow makes me jump.lol.
    I'm not sure what it is about answering the door that I don't like but sometimes I get scared about seeing someone I don't want to see or someone who has hurt me. so that may be part of the reason why.
    Could be kids playing "knock down ginger" though. =/

    We had a nice meal tonight and a bottle of wine. Made us feel better:). OH and our son are off out to an event tomorrow, so getting house to self - will have a pamper day.

    I know what you mean, I can get jumpy too. I used to quite like people at the door until one house I kept getting horrible people coming to our door, and this was in a nice area. I was the same about phone calls but they were mostly sales calls, so use my answerphone to screen people.
    An average day in my life:hello: :eek::mad: :coffee::coffee::coffee::T :o :rotfl: :rotfl: :p :eek::mad: :beer:
