Hi all I too have mouldy friut and unidentified substances in the fridge, but I also have 'unidentified body parts' in the freezer! These are leftovers that I have stored without labels - they all...
Dammy The more I read the more I think we are twins seperated at birth! So many of the things you say resonate with me. I live 150 miles away from Mum but ring at least twice each week to check on...
Lefty Had a sudden inspiration - ear plugs! If you wear them then you can't hear the whining and if you use one of those sleep masks you won't be able to see the pathetic faces those blackmailing...
Hi Countess All the above have said it plain - and I can totally agree. In my case I kept everything well bottled and no-one knew how ill I had become. When the cork finally popped it involved pills...
Hi Lefty You have my thoughts and prayers too - also my Mum's. She is saying rosary for you - she has a v strong faith (RC) and her inteventions have always seemed to work before. Hang in Luv and...
Hi Dammy I now have a whole raft of new things to concern me - thanks for that! As for the badger - in Uk we have an animal that's about the size of a medium dog, has short legs and has gey fur on...
Hi Lefty Your description had me in tears-laughter this time! Maybe you need to show them programmes like 'dogs with jobs' or the dog boot camps on 'cell dogs' to encourage them to change their ways!...
Hi Sober Well you inspired me. Today I got home from work and went out and attacked our garden jungle with the strimmer! Only a short burst- but you are right - I feel I have achieved something not...
Hi Dammy Thank God for you - I did think it was just me. I worry about the strangest things - lately it was how ducks keep their feet warm when the ponds are frozen. I even got to the stage of...
Hi Karlo Athough I believe there is a God my faith is not as the others here. I appreciate the deeply held views of others and wish sometimes I could have the same, but don't think it will happen....
Hi dammy All the wise councel above regarding meds and therapists is as always excellent. I've just had my first councelling session and although it was difficult I found it really useful. I know...
Hi Cheerdad Hope you're feeling a bit more 'up'. I'm trying to appreciate the good days and simply survive the bad - so know where you are. And to Sober - how do you do it? When I'm down it's all I...
Hi Cheerdad Sorry you're feeling so low. Have a cyber hug - all we can offer! We all know what you're going thro and if it helps the wise words I've had from you have been a lifeline - so you're...
Hi Dammy - stuff the dog - we all like you! As for the rest - well we all feel that way most of the time. Get the help - who says you have to be clean to get it? Can't anyone come to you? And make it...
Thanks all - the clouds are lifting a little. Had a difficult weekend, climaxing in a real cathartic sobbing session. Husband v. v. v. supportive, but left feeling drained. Hope that this week will...
/community/emoticons/scool.gif Hi All How do you cope with the post holiday blues? We had a wonderful time away-but now have to come to terms with reality. Have been very down for last few days and...
Hi Meg I've never heard of anyone dying form PD directly - it's usually the complications that are the problem. In my Dad's case it was a chest infection - he had a number of these when his swallow...
Hi Bloo Your story touched me. Hope the Dr can give you good news on 6th - either way keep us informed of your progress. Love and hugs Stumpytroll...
Hi Meg So sorry to hear your Dad's story. The part about not wanting to carry on if immobile is so reminisent of my Dad. Give it time - you've all had a huge shock and will need to grieve for the...
Thanks all Better2, if I can help let me know. I'm South Yorks based UK. Stumpytroll...
Hi Emi Welcome to the forum. I found this site only recently but it has been a Godsend in so many ways. I can relate to your experiences, and can understand the feelings of not being...
Hi New to site so just seen your post. I watched my father deteriorate over 25 years as a result of PD. Lile you I live too far away to visit daily, but kept in touch by phone. No-one can give you an...
Hi all, New to this forum. Just wanted to make contact and say hi. My father passed in August 03 having suffered from PD for 25+ years following diagnosis at 50. Drs thought he had probably had PD...
Hi D-rule I'm looking forward to the trip. After all the recent trauma it will be great to chill out. I'm going to take your advice regarding the work based councelling - thanks to all for your...
Hi all The posts have been interesting - I'm awaiting an appointment with a councellor via my Dr. Lord alone knows how long that will take to come thro, especially as I discontinued councelling after...
Hi Rosie My pets seem to know when I'm having a bad day. I have two cats and one-Mercury will sit on my lap, shoulders or knee and try to lick me when I'm down. She never does this when I'm feeling...
Hi Cloudy, I've been lucky as my closest family and friends have ben supportive - don't think anyone who hasn't experienced depression themselves can really understand. The advice from previous posts...
Hi all, Haven't been able to post as husband is working from home and younger son writing degree deisertation - unable to get near computer! Things a bit more positive - re-mortage came thro so...
Raindance Never was any good at quizzes! Stumpytroll...
CheerDad, Lefty and all, Your support has got me thro a bad day. I know All the theories - before my breakdown the last thing I did at work was to produce a staff booklet on stress management and...
Hi Lefty Your message has confirmed that I have finally found somewhere I can share feelings without pressure or censure. I am lusky in so many ways - as my husband said 'it's only money'! Will keep...
Hi Raindance Will follow the advice-am seeing occupational health people from work soon and HR so hope to get some positive outcomes. Stumpytroll...
Thanks for that. It's the partners who suffer too - without your support and understanding there would be no future....
I found this site today. Wish I'd known about you all months ago - from what I've seen if I'd been able to talk to you perhaps things wouldn't have got so desperate. Had a breakdown in Jan 05 and am...
Hi Janey I'm new today, but your post touched me. The symptoms you describe mirror my own, but you seem to have so many more reasons to have them than I do. My depression was triggered by a...
