Those are great links, thank you!
Some churches do counseling for free and obviously at your gp surgery although it depends on where you live on how quick you get to see someone also how severe your problems for example I live in Wales and took me months to see a counselor and then they told me she only deals with mild depression so it was a waste of time for me. Good luck!
I never even thought about churches but that's definitely something to look into. Thanks :)

I'm not sure where to post this, so please move it if there's a better place. I keep getting a problem with chat, where I can't type anything into the box. Boo hiss! It lets me copy stuff into there though. Any suggestions on how to fix it would be greatly appreciated :)

I miss living next to the woods and being able to find secluded outdoor spaces in nature. Watermelon poptarts! I miss how mellow and easygoing the 90s seemed.

Supposedly there are places you can contact locally for free counseling sessions sometimes run by charities. I just wondered if anybody knew about this or the best places to look online?
Thanks

Being able to laugh at myself
That kind people do exist
That the constant movement and change in the world means there is always hope

I feel shaky today and isolated and very hormonal.

I am proud that when someone was being excessively negative with me today, and I felt my mood slide, I was able to stop the conversation and be firm about what I was willing to tolerate.

The poetry anthology Being Alive. It helps me remember how beautiful and rich life really is.

I kept trying to talk myself out of getting out the house today but I got there in the end and even exchanged smiles with a few strangers. :)

Thanks guys. This place really did help before - lots of understanding and supportive people : )

I don't think it equals hopeless at all.
It sounds to me like he possibly meant it more to do with the way you could speak about it so clearly, without it being muddied or complicated by other issues.

Eating some chocolate and thinking I really should go out today - it's so sunny.

Well I'm not shiny new to this forum. It's been long enough I felt I should say hello again before posting however. I'm in a much better place since I used this forum last, but a slump has crept up on me and I'm determined not to end up in a mess like before.
So hi, and I'll be seeing you around :)

Thats great! It never even occured to me before to use visualisations to help. I was told to focus on breathing and i guess, the reality of the situation, but i think doing this would help distract me and combat it at the same time, plus i am more of a visual person... I'll definitely give this a try - it sounds like a really useful technique. Thanks very much for posting this.

several times!... but apparantely it's meant to be lucky, so it might balance out all my broken mirrors!
HYE been so distracted whilst shopping that you reach for and hold the hand of a stranger, instead of a partner's who actually walked off a while ago?
-

I find I can make it subside a little by drinking some squash.
As in the vegetable squash? Or is it a fancy English name for something else?
i think the concentrated fruit juice stuff you add water to

The Logical Song - Supertramp
When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful, a miracle, it was beautiful, magical
And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily, joyfully, playfully, watching me
But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible, logical, responsible, practical
And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable, clinical, intellectual, cynical
There are times when all the world's asleep
The questions run too deep for such a simple man
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd but please tell me who I am
I said now, watch what you say, now we're calling you a radical, a liberal, fanatical, criminal
Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're acceptable, respectable, presentable, a vegetable
But at night, when all the world's asleep
The questions run so deep for such a simple man
Won't you please (Won't you tell me), (You can tell me what) please tell me what we've learned (Can you hear me?)
I know it sounds absurd, (Won't you help me) please tell me who I am, who I am, who I am, who I am
But I'm thinking so logical
Did you call, one two three four
It's getting unbelievable
