    Hey Matey
    Feeling like that myself today. Kids at school and at home on my own with the blasted pleurasy. :( Have watched Jeremy Kyle Show so must be feeling bad!!!! But I will say something for that show it does make you realise just how lucky you are!!!!! Am off to bed in a minute 'cos I am absolutely Kn*****ed. In some ways I'm glad the rest of my family aren't here as I know it upsets them when I am down so got 5 hours to sleep and paint on the smile for when they all get home.
    Hope all oges well with the rheumy.
    God bless

    Hi Chrisov
    That black dog again! He visits me too sometimes! The good thing is that generally he goes away agian eventually. How is the hip coming along?
    You are probably wise to 'put on a front' to others so long as you do have someone to confide in though. Tell little Charlie (he can keep a secret!)
    I hope you do pick up soon.
    Take care

    Hi

    I am feeling like that myself as well today, I also watched the Jeremy Kyle show. I have to say it is a great way to make yourself feel better!!! If they are true firends they should stick with you on the ups and downs as I am sure that you have with them. Take care and I hope that you get on well at rheum. :)

    Hi All again,
    Perhaps we should start a thread on the Jeremy Kyle show. That should help us all to feel a bit more normal don't you think?? :)
    And give us something to laugh at on those "dark" days we are all prone too.
    Keep smiling all of you- because all of us know the effort we have to put in and we should all be very proud of ourselves. We are all allowed bad days aren't we?-If we can't sound off here it's a bad thing bcos where else are we gonna find others who KNOW!
    Thanx to you all for the support I have found frm you during my short time as a member here it does help-even better than Jeremy Kyle!!
    Love

    The black dog has been sniffing around my ankles for years, but he does seem to be accompanied by a companion now. It is difficult to shake them off especially pain. AS my gp says: 'just hang in there!'

    for what it s worth, I often think when we feel miserable, one good way to deal with it is simply give in to it. it may be we are neglecting something in us that needs to be dealt with, simply bring on the depression but don't wallow in it. almost enjoy it- then go out and smile at the world, at people, and do something nice and pleasant for someone. this I believe and i often do this, is a way of balancing things out.

    if you don't want to be with people, sadly we often have no choice, simply be alone. but don't hang on to the sad state, simply accept it, but afterwards, do something nice and pleasant, or simply go out and --smile at people!!!!. I am in the habit of talking to anyone I meet, more often perfect strangers as though I had known them all my life.

    I often think it is easy to be miserable but takes that bit more effort to be happy quite often. depression turns the mind inward, and it can be beneficial, but then we must do the opposite, and turn outward, which can be hard work.
