Monkey time🍾

PortiaCastis · 21/08/2016 22:58

Grin spanking the monkey

RedOnHerHedd · 21/08/2016 23:04

Thanks all, you don't realise how many people are affected by anxiety/depression. It's horrible. But yes, I've been far far worse than my bad day today. Today's bad day would've been January's good day. I'm getting there. Most days are good now. And I have so much good in my life. I'm lucky to have an amazing husband and children and a really supportive family and in-laws. It wasn't until I started to talk about it with other people (mums at school pick up started to ask if I was ok, because I looked dreadful), that they told me they suffered with it too. It felt good to hear other people's positive stories.

Thank you for sharing with me. Tomorrow is a new day. And I look forward to it.

That monkey thread was classic fair play!!!! Thanks for the recommendation!!!!! GrinGrinGrin

AverageGayLad · 21/08/2016 23:09

Way ahead of you ladies ;) fucking good to finally have some privacy

PortiaCastis · 21/08/2016 23:19

red that's the idea I'll tell you something, I finally admitted to my Mum that I was addicted to ads she paid for me to get help. I was taking almost lethal doses but Im off the devil pills now and LTB so much happier. Dark dags do get brighter.

AGL you'll get RSI and go blind

AverageGayLad · 21/08/2016 23:33

Portia It was only once, RSI? Hmm

MyDressIsInferiorBlue · 21/08/2016 23:36

Red I'm another who's suffered depression and anxiety. In the past 7weeks my antidepressants have been tripled (all since ex decided to cause trouble again). I'm coping but I still get really anxious times and down days.
Flowers things will get better.

PortiaCastis · 21/08/2016 23:37

Doubt I'll get that Grin

You were probably high on drugs again Vanilla

PortiaCastis · 21/08/2016 23:45

Erm it was about uni and you were pointed Vanilla in your reply to a person and you just made me laugh with your adept use of language without swearing.Grin

RedOnHerHedd · 21/08/2016 23:45

AGL That's awfully rude! Couldn't we have had a warning sign first:

Warning, AGL about to engage in activities that could cause RSI. Please cover your eyes if you do not wish to know about such things.

RedOnHerHedd · 21/08/2016 23:47

AGL, why do you need privacy? It's perfectly natural, and the monkeys do it all the time in public Angry

MyDressIsInferiorBlue · 21/08/2016 23:50

Portia don't worry I know it was to AGL

VanillaSugar · 21/08/2016 23:53

Ah yes. Saying sweet nothings through a mouth full of halitosis - works every time Grin💩

MyDress we'll all get through it. I always say it's a case that I have to get through it. I have kids, I have to get better for them. And I will. I will never ever give up. FlowersChocolate

Is anyone watching the Rio Closing Ceremony? There are a LOT of empty seats. And not even including those who are reserved for the athletes.

No Vanilla I have a drunken Gran snoozing on the couch so we are stealthily creeping around with the tv off in case she wakes up and starts singing again.

PortiaCastis · 22/08/2016 00:15

Her sea shanties are most disgusting I had to cover my ears Grin

RedOnHerHedd · 22/08/2016 00:16

No, I'm not watching it. I'm lying in bed contemplating whether to put ear plugs in to drown out DHs snoring. He goes back to work tomorrow (college lecturer) so I'll get to starfish the bed in the the morning!!!

RedOnHerHedd · 22/08/2016 00:17

How old is she Portia? She sounds like great fun!
