VD, I know Sorry, but it's kinda obvious

When you experience full psychosis and come out the other end let me know.

It changes your life.

sorry  you are feeling shit  vd.

and  you can come out the other side.

I am a full supporter of Ducky's bubble..   its her survival strategy and it works damned well!     I have borrowed her bubble now & then, and it does help.  

The other survival strategy that we both use is humour & laughter....    she's pulled me out of a dark place tonight with the power of stupidity & giggling 

Velvet - I'm not happy at the moment either...    life can be completely shit sometimes 

It's not a competition. I bet there are so many people here who emphasise with you but few who would trade places. 

You say it changes your life. From what you say it's not for the better but I bet if you put your mind to it and with a lot of support you can turn that around 

Cheers.

Lightweight.

Clueless.

I can't even begin to understand VD, but I hope I can nearly 'half' understand, given I lived so many years with with my dad's manic depression

Well thank you, Supes.  I'm fortunate to have turned a complete 360.  But then again, everything got sorted because I could.  Some aren't so fortunate.

That corny adage of being in the gutter (literally!) but looking at the stars applied; I just took my chance.  I never had health issues to hamper me.

I am eternally grateful.

Can't beat it!

That's a tough one to deal with. 

if this is aimed at me, you are probs right, but all in all what  would you know?

if it's aimed at cags, then it's a bit shit cos she was trying to be understanding and supportive.

c'est la vie.

It's not aimed at you Jacko  

I knew that Cosi, without you saying! That's why I said what I said......bit of luck, bit of judgement, coupled with a loving family who liked you and supported you.... means a lot

Bloody hell Cags you're a tough bugga sometimes!

Jeez JB  

Dunno...are you?

I can't begin to say I know how you feel donks, all I'll say is I hope you get through it somehow.   

As for being happy?   Is life storybook perfect, no, I guess not, am i unhappy, no, I'm not  (although I suppose people who don't know me that well think I should be)     I guess I'm content.    I hope you can find contentment, donks.

whaaaaaaaaat

I'm alright Kaffy  

Just not happy  

velvet i havent been where you are, im nearly 30 i havent had the perfect life or been the perfect daughter/grandaughter/sister, i have no idea what its like to have a good dad, or bloke around me.Im sure theres alot on here have seen bad things in their life. you always seem the strong lovable funny one on here, and in a way understand you a bit more after this thread. all i can say is hang in there and look after you. i hope you find that happiness that you deserve,

Velvet Bowie is on BBC four. That's got to cheer you up .

Can't be arsed to scroll back to quote, but I will say this: Those who feel shit about themselves often have pops at others to make them feel better about themselves; I have every sympathy with those who have had shit childhoods, but, there has to be a point when, they're not children anymore and can't keep 'on about that'......Does that make me sound like a heartless bitch?

I'll get over it JB  

Dinnae worry justa.

I'm seriously okay.

Hope you are too 

No takers for Bowie then

I assumed that you were meaning she wasn't happy about you being happy JB? Maybe I got that wrong!

I've turned over 

Thankyou

Supes ,who is Dominic?

Good

And one for you too, Justy

Bowie for me too!

i think she was probs just weary of my happy face day in and day out...

always looking on  the bright side and being cheerful, it can be very wearing.....

i also sing, off key , in the mornings.

well i sing off key as a matter of course, regardless of meal times..

no it doesnt cos you are totally right. shit childhood or not im who i am and probably turned out a nicer more caring person for it.

Supes ,who is Dominic?

 all round 

justa     

He'll be the f'd up a'hole who justifies his f'd up a'holeness with some pseudo antiestablishmentIwankininpublicandtalkaboutitshite

Benedict. 

Well I think I just about grasped who you mean.

Could you inform the waiting hoards in your thread too?

The Sherlocks and Marples are getting restless.

I have returned with the info.
