How are you feeling today?

[Zaf]

I've had a reasonably good day despite the heat getting to me, hopefully I wont crash tomorrow as so often is the case after a good day.

Sorry to hear that seamie, I keep meaning to ask about your picture, thats a stunning coloured cob, is it yours?

[smirfy21]

woke up this morning feeling so much better and refreshed so I am very thankful for that 

[Munchroom]

Today seems brighter than the last couple have been!  :)

A friend of mine suggested I should write a childrens story... I have a tomato plant that another friend gave me in my garden and she has grown so huge, she's take on her own identity!! (Tilly  ) I have just made up and quickly scribbled down a story about her and how she grew so big because she wanted to be like the beautiful sunflower she looked at everyday and I'm about to type it up - feeling really positive  :)

[Zaf]

Thats brilliant Munchroom  :)

I feel really tired after my counselling session, some of it was a bit tough but most quite positive

[cornish]

im feeling nothing at the moment, better than earlier when i was feeling horrifically low

[Munchroom]

Tired!

Just finished a 10 hour night shift... my friend very kindly gave me a lift home, got through my front door, put my hand in my pocket and realised my pager was still in there.... Which they need at work 

Frogmarched the dog back down the hill and had a lovely chat with my boss about how I am, came home, got into bed and am now looking forward to a good sleep! Knowing I have not only done a nightshift, I also walked the dog by myself! ^&*  />.

Night all!!  x

[Zaf]

sort of tired and despondent,  no real reason, but I'm itching to get back from work and slum on the sofa in front of the TV

[Zaf]

Still very tired and down, I hate days like this

[seamie]

despondent just about somes me up to

[smirfy21]

angry as a member of my extended family is sick and really suffering, we all know that its going to end in death and I don't know how to deal with that as we have always been close and losing her will kill me.
I know its selfish to think like this but I just cannot lose her.

im sorry and really do feel for you and im sure were all here for you, its a hard time for anyone but when your already suffering from depression its a difficult thing to handle but please believe me its possible, you will make it though this







this may sound strange but all i can think of is cheese on toast and how it compares to my life,  the cheese gets cooked and will taste nicer but its been forgotten and its now burnt and ruined.

I lost my dad about 18 months ago, he had a dreadful time in the last year of his life as the cancer paralysed him from the waist down, it was heartbreaking see him deteriorate and I was with him when he died and holding his hand.  Its not going to be easy for you to deal with but I would seriosly suggest you get some professional grief counselling, its not too early now which I know sounds daft but you are almost certainly grieving already because you know you'll be facing a loss.

You arent being selfish, you simply can see how difficult it will be to lose a good friend, its perfectly understandable, please dont beat yourself up about thinking thst way

[Zaf]

Having another really down day, brain racing wildly, near to tears, body exhausted 

[George]

Smirfy, it's always difficult when a member of your family, near or far, is having a hard time and possibly coming to the end of their life, isn't it? Just hope that they don't suffer too much and that you can cope with it reasonably well. Neither their problems nor your pain will last, they'll pass away and you will recover.

Zaf, hope you settle quick. Get out in the sun, if you're tired then just sit and benefit from the light. Hope you're ok

[Zaf]

Thanks george, unfortunately its been pouring with rain all day!  I'm sure its just a blip, possibly still a bit tired and unsettled after my counselling Thursday
