General Chat

Hi Chloe Been thinking about you today. Hope you're feeling a bit cheerier. Haven't you got some brilliant friends on here! Take care Ellen.

Thanks again, guys. Work wasn't so bad today even though boss drives me up the wall. He thinks he knows everything. Thanks for the emails Bec & Diana, I will reply some time tonight, just want to chill after coming back from work at the mo. Mags - ahaha! Safeway's!! You know, I used to live right behind Safeway's in my second year (2002/2003). Evil place that it is, was too easy just to go and buy things there, I spent far too much on food! I am visiting a friend who's still at uni next weekend, but she lives in Redlands now. Skanky Fishponds has been recognised for what it is!! Awful about that little boy in Kingsdown. Thanks again everyone. I spoke to my parents last night, and they did listen (I hope!). Still wish I saw my sisters more often though, but must learn that that is by the by. Chloe x

Oi, Chloe, stop talking like that. Consider yourself told off, in the nicest possible way. I think we all feel like this now and then. Things happen, are said, whatever, which seems to compound the situation. And people don't always realise what they're doing to their nearest and dearest. Oh God, regarding what your Mum said about watching TV, I've said that quite a few times to my daughter recently! Afterwards, though, I've asked her what she was going to say, and we've talked about it then. So your experience has helped me, believe it or not! Made me aware that my daughter may have felt the same as you. Your sister, even though she's not very pregnant, is going to be mega-tired at the moment, as so much is happening at this early stage. Be patient with her. I'm waffling on, but I haven't read all the replies and all this might have been said already! Oops! I won't say cheer up, as it's not easy when you feel like this. The most important thing is to like yourself, 'cos you're unique. Stop insulting yourself. Hope you feel better soon love, Glenys x

Hi Chloe. I hope that life looks a little better today. Lots of hugs. BC

Oh Chloe mate :-( Will email you! love becx

Chloe, You have to play the cards you are dealt in this life. If you have a bad hand, you can grumble and everyone will know you are a loser. Or you can bluff, and possibly win, but at least lose with dignity. GIVE YOUR BRAIN A SHAMPOO. Lincoln said, everyone is subsequently responsible for their face. If you think, fat, ugly and depressed often enough, that,s what people will see. Lighten up; smile more; think cuddlesome instead of fat. Try to go round thinking something nice is going to happen - particularly if you smile at people., - who knows. This may sound silly, but on this wavelength why not become 20/ georgous; and a nymphomaniac. Some of it might just rub off. Hardly anyone will know you,re not and for at least half an hour a day, you,ll be thinking just that Lastly, I,ll bet there are loads of people on this channel who have more problems than you have. Very best wishes. repeat - give your brain a shampoo. Happy days

Mags I'll have you know I'm 39 going on 12 so stop aging me!! :O)

Goodmorning Chloe, glad you are feeling better this morning . See you on the boards later. I'm going out but, I'll be back...as Arnie says. ((((((((((((((((morning hugs)))))))))))))))))) Deanna :-0)

Hi Chloe I'm glad you're feeling little better this morning. I really hope you have a good day Love Sarah x

Hi Chloe, There's not a lot to be said that has'nt already been said on here. Yep, we've all been there. I used to say I felt like an old grey dishcloth in a butler sink. The week before you are due is terrible, beleive me I know. I don't have any of that any more. I used to called it 'Funny week' and I would get so depressed, no one liked me, I had no friends, I was worthless and stupid, etc etc. IT DOES GET BETTER, TRY AND THINK POSITIVE. I know it's not easy, but try. Hope you feel better, luv Jo. X.

Every time I read threads like this it makes me realise what lovely people you all are, I've only been here a few weeks but I bet there is not another site like it.!! You have so many people here all ready and willing to chat Chloe try and let us help, and remember that each day is the start of the rest of your life,also it really is very hard coming off seroxat so try not to be too hard on yourself, you are doing really well!! :)))

Not sure how long i will be on today, but just wanted to see how you were doing. Hope you are feeling a little better, thinking of you :))))) Lots love kirsty xxx

Yeah Chloe - Pink's a real old fart! (NOT) - but she is about 15 in her head!! LOL Joking apart - that's a really good suggestion - please take Diana up on it. Mags xxx

Hey sweetheart, we all have days like these.... I can't remember the last family member that called me.... good old Diana you see, who is strong and capable and doesn't need anyone!! YEAH RIGHT!! We just have to do as Mags says.... pick yourself up, dust yourself down, paint that smile on and get out there!! If you want any advice on changing your job then email me..... recruitment and training people to move onwards and upwards was my area of speciality.... and even is I am old enough to be your Ma, I'm human and feel no older than you so I promise not to get patronising!! BIG HUGS!! Pink xx

Chloe - That's a shame! (not being in Bristol any more that is)....So coffee in Safeway's out of the question then?? LOL Sooo pleased you are feeling more positive - keep it up. Another hug We are all here for you you know! Love Magsxxx

Mags, you weren't harsh, you were positive and enthusiastic and inspiring! Choe, you need a lift. You are not being silly. I have a book that I use that might really help you. Also writing down your blessings, for every thing that you write on one list you need to write one on the other, ie, good and bad lists. I know the degree of depression I am feeling with whichever list grows longest first and which list I find easiest to add to. You're brain chemicals can be affected by PMT, true, but the nights are coming lighter and you should take full advantage by going for a walk outside at either end of the day if you can. Exercise is good for letting go of physical tension, healthy, etc, etc, but it also calms your mind into rhythm. It's knackering being pregnant yes, I was in bed by 8 every night, but your sister hasn't got the answers. They are there in your head and you need to tease them out. You don't sound fat and ugly and BLah BLAh BLAh! I'll give you an example. You try to guess what i look like and I will tell you how close you are. You see the physical appearance has nothing to do with our souls. Get back to me quick and I will come back as soon as I have dropped the children off at school! Love Abigail

Thanks everyone for your replies. Feeling more positiving this morning. Although I did want to go back to sleep again when my alarm clock went off but I think that's just cos I'm lazy! Mags - I was from Bristol. I went to UWE for 3 years. I'm back at home in Hampshire now! Chloe x

Chloe, I really have to go to bed or I'll collapes. I'll see you on the threads again tomorrow? Good night folks...Have a good time chatting. Deanna ((((((((((hugs for Chloe)))))))))))))))))))))

Sending you a big ((((HUG)))) as I forgot in my last message xxxx

Chloe - Hi again! I was just coming back to delete my message! - I thought it sounded a little harsh. Just shows that what one thinks isn't necessarily what someone else thinks. So take some time to think about that yourself. You think that no-one cares. We care - as shown by these messages - and in all probability your mum and sisters care very much - but THINK that you know that already! Hope you see my reasoning!! LOL Am I right in thinking you are in the Bristol area? Magsxx
