    Hi

    I've just been counting up how many of you have supported me through this bad patch, and it is 16, plus 2 others on PMs.

    That is amazing, so THANK YOU ALL once again :!:

    This is me today because of you all

    Now look here, Buddhist priests, Jediism and Dark Forces do not equate to Ninja warriors :!: A kind of Dennis Wheatley meets Terry Pratchett, yes, but Ninja warriors, no :!: :!:

    Hi

    I would like to thank Trisher in particular for helping me when I was feeling so depressed. She stayed up until 5am talking to me, and she was wonderful.

    This was way beyond anything I could have expected or deserved, but she saved me from having to call the men in white coats to come and take me away.

    I feel very fortunate to have this forum, and a huge

    THANK YOU, TRISHER

    Joan

    I'm so sorry that you are not feeling too good now. Keep warm under that duvet, and I hope you will be better tomorrow.

    Hi Pheebs

    After saying how much better I feel, I have had one or two more moments of feeling like this today again

    However, I am fighting back again.

    Hi Cris

    Thank you for your PM. I will reply soon.

    Hi Jan

    I have done things for myself today eg. I had a long soak in the bath this morning, which was very relaxing. Also, I went out for a walk in the snow, which I enjoyed.

    However, there is someone on here who does not wish me well, and that is rather upsetting.

    I am trying to ignore it, but my trouble is that I do take things to heart. However, I am putting it out of mind today.
