ok,thanks

Thinking of you Maxine and hope your spirit picks up, i'm sure you will find catherine to be a good listening ear.

Take care hugs.xx

Maxine, I am sure that somebody will have some advice for you on here. But for the times you just want to shout, there is a thread on the general bard titled anxieties and depression. It is a good thread to let off steam and there is usually somebody around to listen and offer support.

Obviously I don't know your situation but maybe this will help you. My father always believed that when things were bad there was always an answer somewhere and through my life I have found it to be true. It may take time to surface but things usually work out if we hang on in there.
take care

Thinking of you Maxine...

Always talk about it, never try to cope alone.
