Vanilla has given me the great honour of starting the TENTH thread that absolutely no-one responds to. No-one at all. We have not racked up 9,000 previous posts talking about absolutely nothing.

Along the way we've become great friends. Newcomers are always welcome. So pull up a chair and join us in our mn version of Central Perk Café. We share jokes and memes, random facts and thoughts, our highs and lows, we are the card carrying lifelong members of The Union of different kinds.

So whether your life is perfection or;
Your job's a joke, you're broke, your love life's D.O.A.
(If) it's like you're always stuck in second gear
(Whether) it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year,

We'll be here for you.

There's
Vanilla who brought us altogether
Toad & Jet who are our meme champions
Better who is advisory
Portia who has a famous boyf Wink
AGL who is young
Jess who likes to flounce
Red who has red hair
Being who's always there
Noone who is on holiday
Legz who makes purple cakes and Mouse who makes lots of cakes
Cat, MrsTP and others who pop in when they can.
(Sorry to anyone I've forgotten)

Oh and I'm supposed to be starting blues clues but had no idea what that was so will do my homework and add them in soon.

A good friend of mine committed suicide back when we were 18/19. Nobody ever knew the reasons why he did it. He spoke to me about 10mins before, and I couldn't stop to talk to him because there was a car behind me. Told him to pop in to see me later, and then he went and jumped off a bridge. He never ever confided in anyone if he had problems, he kept whatever it was completely inside.

Then someone I grew up with, very well known in our town, hung himself a couple of months ago.

I don't see that there's enough help out there for mental health issues.

I was supposed to be getting CBT. Was referred over 8 months ago and I still haven't had an appointment.

Am not even remotely 'bovvered', AGL. Couldn't care less. Have far more important stuff to do. Like picking up Lego.

RedOnHerHedd · 28/08/2016 20:06

Jess Watch you don't kneel on a rogue piece of Lego.
Lego is evil.

ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 28/08/2016 20:10

red. I know, I have contacted my local MH services, but the wait is painful. Likewise, when I was drinking, the wait for acceptance into a detox clinic could take up to six months.

People at risk of suicide need help immediately, but it's not available. It's been sidelined, and yet so many (often young, with huge potential) lives could be saved.

RedOnHerHedd · 28/08/2016 20:14

Jess I was just lucky to have an amazingly supportive husband, family and in-laws. And I have a few amazing friends too. Not many, but the ones I do have are truly good friends.

AverageGayLad · 28/08/2016 20:15

Jess I'll be enjoying the company of two men, not one it appears Grin

RedOnHerHedd · 28/08/2016 20:18

Yes, we do love you portia - had a quick look and pretty much pulled a whitey even though I'm not smoking weed. The fucking huh? You're only mistake was to try and engage in such a debate in the first place. Absolute twats.

Very sorry that you shared such personal stuff and were treated so badly, but there are other threads where you can (and have) used your experiences to help others. Your honesty, humour and empathy is what makes you Ms Portia Castis. And why Aidie & the rest of us love you.

PortiaCastis · 28/08/2016 20:56

Im getting Gran on to them. They'd better run now fucking keyboard warriors
