Christine how lovely to see you. I'm pleased you still look in. I have missed you, but can't force people to post, so didn't want to pester you. xx

Caz you should be in rehearsals now, ready for panto season coming up fast on us. You learn your lines and I'll sell the tickets. I so miss tales of Toby. But Gails wildlife posts are really interesting xx

Vods you have been very quiet too xx

Sharron errr! Gherkins. Never tried them but I know I do not like them!! xx lol

Fran nice to see you making friends here xx

Been to mum and dads today. Watched octopus man. Oh had three friends here to watch football
so I went out. But before I went, I said to them "Can you pick your stuff up off the floor I want to whip the hoover round" It was so funny all of them shouting what, your kidding. Yes I was lol xxx

Caz, OH YES YOU CAN!!!! Lots of things you can still do to be in Joyce's panto or circus, don't throw in the towel yet lady!

Sharron, Gherkins, yuck, but probably healthier and less fattening than heading for the biscuits and chocolate lol You come and let off steam when you like, we don't have smellocomputers lol

Hello Carole and everyone.
Its been such a while since i wrote on here,but i do keep looking in ! .It really does help me in away..
Love as always
Christine x

LOL Fran, I was embarassed but it is funny to look back on now. I am not a loony really I am just an individual that does stupid things from time to time. A friend on here had me down as her clown, partnered by her dog of all things, for her pantomime when she gets it written. Sorry Joyce P cannot do it now.

Caz xx

CAZ!

like i tell the kids at school when they moan that somebodys called them 'weird'

ALL the best peole are weird/loonies

and I bet u went red over that! looking back it must have been a moment to make you smile. (i have a warped sense of humor too!)

Sharron, I havent been on here long myself but hey, if it helps for you to rant at everybody and noone in particular u go right ahead girl.

bottling things up never did anyboy any good.

i like gherkins!

Sharron you reminded me of the time I had the engineer up to mine, which is a manual one. I had been finding it harder to propel myself until I thought I had better get it checked out. He came and took it all to pieces, said there was nothing wrong, and it was in rather good condition. Then he asked me if I was having trouble with my hands and arms, oh Lor did I feel stupid, my arms were getting weaker. It was the beginning of my fm starting but I didn't connect it and thought my chair needed oiling or something.

Hi Fran, welcome, there are a lot of us about, depressives I mean not loonies like me.

Caz xx

Just popped on to say hello to everyone on this thread, and others who may just read it.

Sharron, hope enjoy your gherkins. YUK!

You have to remember that my dad has had a stroke.He lost his speech completely for a while and consequently does not have the same power to express himself anymore.

I was not with him when it started to behave oddly so I could not explain to the engineer.My dad did his best but,of the things that could be wrong,we did not actually get the engineer to the correct one.

Sorry, I am hi-jacking this thread I feel.I have not had depression for a long time and really I am coping.I just need a place to let off sometimes.

Most of you have far worse things to deal with than me and I do wish you all the best.

Now,I am going to eat some gherkins.As soon as something winds me up I am in the pickle jar.

Thanks for listening.

No! that is insane. Poor man.

Hope that engineer gets the heave! miserable osd!

Sorry,ranting again. Dad noticed the wheelchair was snatching to the right a bit sometimes when he was out so I called the engineers.Apparently there was nothing wrong,indeed it was not possible for there to be.

Today,he was up the road with his mate and the wheelchair threw out the drive which would not go back in.He had to be pushed home.The wheelchair will only go backwards.

Having just rung the same engineer it seems that one of the motors is seized and I now have the old man in a manual wheelchair until further notice.

GODDAMIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OO Yuck, I couldnt be like that. I told the quack from the outset that i did NOT want anything remotely addictive.

Thanks for the welcome tho' Tink, nice to know I'm not alone.

We still dont know what caused my drop into the hole, could have been a mix of lots of high emotional stuff. Guess I will never know, but at least I know I have a brain that doesnt work properly!

Hi Fran, a few of us on here have a citalopram club!!
Welcome to the club! I have been on it about 14 mths now. I know if I forget to take it for a day or two. I don't get anywhere near as many head aches as I used to. I think it suits me better than prozac and all the other stuff I have been on. Although diazapam is nice, gives me a zombie like feeling
and makes me feel floaty!

xx

My stars! etc etc

I had no idea that depression was such a widespread thing!

8 years ago whilst walking in town with my husband i started to shake and cry........ one visit to the quack later and I was on Citalopram.

I'd been almost abusive to my son, argumentative etc and didnt realise what was wrong.

Even on 40mg a day I still get headaches and what have you if i get REALLY stressed. But I'm pretty much ok now.

Keep Smiling. It will make people wonder what you've been up to!

Where are you all?


Ooppps!!!! Had the settings on newest, and didn't see you below me!! lol

Elaine isn't he doing well to be eating! Wow. What a relief you must be feeling. Can't believe he will be home so fast! That is good news. xx

Hi all, especially to my 'Sis' Carolb, glad you are keeping in contact with us, love, at this even more difficult time for you - you have been in more thoughts more than usual this last few weeks.
To Gillie, hi and welcome, and to all who have posted lately, and those who haven't, I send love and hugs as I try to send positive thoughts to you too.
Vicky, sorry you are low now your little meccano engineers are gone, bless them, and hope you will feel more cheerful soon, will try and talk with you soon.
Eileen, apologies for not getting in touch, so much going on and I can't keep up, have found some more relatives I am trying to fit into the tree and also been doing some looking for o.h.'s family while his dad is still around to give any info he can. Think I have been lucky with o.h.'s late mum's rellies so might give him some people he can talk to about her maybe, it seemed to be gone and forgotten as far as his Dad was concerned, they didn't seem to keep her in their lives once she had died. O.h. has no photos of her, altho his sisters have and I asked them to get him a copy but it hasn't happened. Seems an odd family to me! Thought mine were bad enough lol

Had a quick pm from Betty to say she was busy trying to pay bills, but bless her, she sent me some funny jokes that had me giggling, better not put them on here but maybe Betty will another day.

Nlp (which Betty read the other day as nip and wondered why I was going to nip lol) is a bit wierd, think it is going to take me a while to understand it as I don't do visualisations very well but will give it a go and the chap is ok who does it with me so must make an effort.

Better get off here and catch up with more threads and such, otherwise I have no idea what is going on, kicking off or just happening on the boards.
Oh, before I go, last night I went to see my friend (and her daughter who has been here for over a week), from Germany, my friend came here in September, been here 6 weeks and we only managed to meet up three times and one of those at Liz's funeral. They go back on Monday, wish we could have spent more time together but never mind, will stay in contact as always by email and phone.

Catch you all later today maybe, have a good w/e everyone, if you can.
love
Lizxxx

Hi to everyone. Welcome to CarolB.

Not added to this thread for a while, but just thought I would say hello and give you all big hugs, only if I can get a hug back.

Had my grandsons this week, and they're away home now, and I'm feeling a bit down.

Glad to hear that Deanna is doing well, and still thinking of Y.Caz Lynn, Daff etc. :0)))

((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))
