FRANNIE

Hi Sam, thanks, i am much better just a really bad day . and i know it is silly but sometimes as you too would know we have shit days.  my Doctor is good and Daryl is great. my Bi-Polar2 is mostly under control but some times i go in a heap guess that was one of them. 

how are you ? hope you are keeping okay i am bitching about dick head partners of sons and you are having your own hassles yet comfort me. you are one heck of a girl.

this day sounds sooo much better than before..i am so sorry u had to endure those others-life can be pretty shit sometimes, but we are here to LIVE life and thats comes with good and bad (unfortuntely) i saw a saying the other day, can't remember the exact words but here goes---- True happiness comes not from enacting revenge on another but sitting back, smiling and letting Karma do its thing!!!!

Love to you Fran..seek out any support and from wherever when u need it...never let depression take hold-i'm sure it is as bad as the cancer itself at times (we have our counsellors number permanently on our phone!!)

Chin up..another new day agaon tomorrow

Sam  xxxx

had a better day today my son Steve turned up and we had a small party. i loved it and the partner ? well she didnt say much at all. but the kidds enjoyed themselves so did Oma and Grandpa. 

Hi there Fran, you're not coping all that well today are you???  Things are getting on top of you more so today as it is supposed to be a happy family day, with kids, laughter and of course CHOCOLATE !!!! so you definately don't need the bitchy D-I-L.

Depression gets all of us from time to time so there is no shame in admitting it - in fact I think acknowledging it is a step towards overcoming it.  Are your anti-depressants ones prescribed by your Doctor or by someone qualified in this field?  Are you getting professional counselling?  If not ask your GP to give you a referral.  I did this a few weeks ago as I felt that things were getting on top of me for one reason and another (not only B/C).  I had the shits with the world in general, would cry for no apparent reason and lost my sense of humour (and that's bad!!!).  Some mornings I would push myself to get out of bed and was neglecting the things that I normally enjoy.

This doesn't happen all the time but I have recognised the signs and decided to do something about it before it went too far.  I remembered a phrase I used during my C/L training ..... that I am in charge of my own destiny .... so decided to practice what I preached.

I'm pleased that you are sharing your thoughts and fears with us, that's what we are all here for - to support and encourage each other during times like these.

Take care of yourself ... don't forget YOU are your number one priority!!!!

Love ....Shirl xx

Fran,

Sorry to hear that your plans were derailed. Enjoy those Easter eggs.

Tomorrow is another day. 

Take care, Deb
