Downer

I feel that someone who appreciates the beauties of nature, as you do Chrisov, won`t be down for long.

You certainly lifted my spirits with your imaginative post. Thank you.....Ange.

Hi Cris our posts must have crossed. How lovely to live by the sea. Your description was fantastic, I was right there with you. You have a real gift. To sit by the sea must be very soothing to the soul. I would love to live by the sea, it never looks the same twice. I am glad you were able to get out, it does help.

I hope you haven't suffered too much for it though. Thinking of you.

Hi Chrisov,

That sounds so nice, I do it down here as well. Sit on a rock and watch the sun go down over the sea while the Atlantic comes thundering in. 'My' one is a big high rock and it makes you feel so much better to have such a day.

I hope before too long you will back to your old self and thank you for sharing your day. I could picture it so well and understand when you say about not wanting to leave but having to cus of payback. Take care and thanks again for sharing it. Cris x

Hi Chrisov

What a wonderful way of writing you have. In just a few lines you described your visit to the beach so well, I could imagine it clearly. I know how it feels to have to negotiate steps though! I also hope it didn't cause you too much pain afterwards.

All the best

hi christov just noticed post have not been well. I am sorry you are under your black cloud today remember it will pass. look for the chucks of sun shine like your little granson. go out for a walk and maybe that bad cloud will move away. It is good you live by the beach and can get out for a while. recharge them batterys how about writing about your beach it may help lift you. I hope you will feel better soon but dont say nasty things about self they are totally untrue and we all value you and only have good thngs to say about you hope you feel well soon joanne

Hi there,
sorry you've been feeling down....... I'm not here much at the moment so have missed a lot of postings, but had to give you a message of support.

And, hun, as in the past you know the 'down days' will be followed by 'up days' Good on you for getting out - didn't know you lived by the sea, are you in a seaside resort? I love the sea.

Anyway, sending you good vibes,

Sometimes I get really depressed. I know it helps if I just step outside the back door and look at the natural world going on around me and it usually lifts me and makes me see I'm not alone. I'm lucky to live in the countryside with quiet lanes, this is also something I find makes me feel a bit better. I envy you the sea side though, its always, since childhood, been my ambition to live on the coast.

How are you feeling today?
Love Sue

Iam afraid i am on a downer today got up felt quite chirpy but now lapsed into a black donwer. I cant do this I cant do that sort of day and feeling dare I say it without fear of being scalded and ridiculed I am worthless a cretin an imbecile all rolled into one one miunte I am up and then bang back to earth and I am taking the anti d's feel like getting sloshed to relieve the downess sorry for a moan but just feel rotten waiting for a fairy godmother to take me away and help lift the blackness

Hi

Sorry you're felling a bit low. I think we all have days of gloom its getting out of it that's hard. For me it's a good film; a drive to the beach; music or a good laugh. Life throws so much stuff at us and you sounding off here is a positive thing.

I hope you're feeling better today.

Just looked on youtube again and its under the search evil baby look. It's a baby of ethnic origin (sorry don't know how to describe him and stay PC about it!!!) and he has a chocolate covered icecream cone in his hand.
As for the java script bit sorry no idea!!!
Sit back watch and laugh!!

Hi all I am lucky to be able to get to the sea as I live quite close and there i find my spirits are rising and a new feeling come abroad, a sense of exhiliration combined curioulsy with a desire albeit olbique and perverse for things to get worse to get as bad as possible until i stare directly into a black abyss again so that then i need to fight back against arthur this seems to confirm that the situation was hopeless before the impulse of resistance could be properly aroused, these days for me are extraordinary as i keep being affected by such moods the ups and the forebodings i wish i could keep a steady even keel do others get like this or is it just silly old me and how my arthur is???????btw I did laugh at the baby on you tube thanks KK Linda Legs what makes you think it was a ciggy he he

lindalegs

Don't tell me you're a St Bruno man Chrisov?????????? My old boss was and the smell of pipe smoke takes me right back to him - I can remember taking dictation from him in the morning whilst he lit up and his whole head would disappear into a fog of pipe smoke. :shock: Those were the days - not that many people smoke pipes now :roll:

Or are you a cigar man - those Happiness is a Cigar called Hamlet adverts were so funny

... you're not a roll-ur-own can***is man are you Chrisov :? I've heard it's good for pain - please note folk that is not a recommendation :shock:

Luv Legs

Hi legs no Im not a St Bruno man working andsmoking environment would be soo no no now I read a book about a doctor in a hospital when they smoked doing the round mind you went to Prague recently and they still smoke in cahes as they do in some other counries no I am a non tobacco smoker altho I might have a cigar at Christmas perhaps what was I smoking then ???please deduce that yourself and some say this helps stem arthurs pain but Im not advocating it :!: :!: :!:

Hi all many thanks for all your kind repkies I feel as though I am coming out of my blues and could climb Mount everest how strange my moods feel less imbecile and worthless I keep feeling helpless like i did when a teen with arthitis and feel I need to talk to someone about those times perhaps on here but dont like to moan about the past sorry for being so down but feel brighter a bit more today hope you are all Okish

angel1

It`s good that you are feeling a bit better Chrisov, but forget about Everest. Perhaps another trip to your lovely beach.

As a Counsellor, I often think that the only reason I`m still in a job is because people - like you - feel that they don`t want to "moan" to those close to them. Everyone seems so wrapped up in their own lives, with no time for anyone else. Sad really.

Have a good day, whatever you decide to do.........Ange.

Hi, I am glad that you are feeling a bit better today. Sometimes we have to put the past into perspective in order to be able to move forward. It sounds as though you had a really rough time with arthur when you were a teen, a difficult age at best. I wonder, if you did share your experience, it would help others. Both to see how things have changed, and to see how you coped.

I for one would find that interesting, especially as you are such a good writer.

Keep climbing the up today but don't overdo it!

Have a lovely day

You carry out very worthwhile, good work, Ange.......it isn't always because people do not want to talk to people close to them, is it, but it can help people to pour out to someone they do not know - it is often that bit easier once they have trust in that person. You often cannot say what you really wish to someone close to you as you may really hurt them even if what you say is not directed at them personally.You may at a later stage regret saying what you did and it can be very difficult to undo. When attending counselling, one feels safer, one can say whatever comes into ones head, divulge secrets for the first time, not speak if you don't feel like it, become very angry, very weepy, be oneself. I have never had to use one but I know people who have benefited greatly.

Keep up the good work.

Hi Chrisov

Good news that you are feeling much better in yourself again. Take it slowly, little steps at a time.

It is raining and dull here, I fear the beach will be a little desolate today unless you are blessed with a dry day.

You're right, Chrisov, a bit of forward planning is just the ticket! Best stay put today, for various reasons, aye? It was sunnier here earlier, just a memory now!! We both get the same weather don't we?
