Err, we need a new thread guys - I know this is Vicar's job so i hope you like the name.

This thread is a support group for those with mental health issues and generally feeling crap, some of us are on medication, some of us have help.

So come on in, grab a stool at the pub, the fires warm and the welcome is warmer - stay a while or move right on in!

All welcome

Ha! im not very good at this!

Nana do let me know what books you use. A lovely musnetter gave me amazon tokens in the cmas appeal. Haven't had chance to use them. Ive seen the ones for celebrities not keen on those. Countryside is good but no picket fences as I have a phobia of them. I am weird! :)

LEMmingaround · 01/02/2014 20:03

SnowyMouse · 02/02/2014 15:17

Thanks for the hugs, TAC Nice name Smile

SnowyMouse · 02/02/2014 18:07

Sad crisis team were talking about getting me up to see them at the hospital. No chance (no easy way to get there either).

TemperamentalAroundCorvids · 02/02/2014 18:18

Sad they are over-stretched Sad

Can I be of any help?

LEMmingaround · 02/02/2014 18:33

Tac - great name. I am a bit scared of crows ;)

SnowyMouse · 02/02/2014 18:38

They said that as they are not convinced I'm safe Sad I'm not going near the hospital.

LEMmingaround · 02/02/2014 18:52

Do you feel safe snowy?

SnowyMouse · 02/02/2014 18:55

I don't know, I'm trying to be. Hmm Just can't go up to the hospital, it would make things worse.

TemperamentalAroundCorvids · 02/02/2014 18:57

Some soothing Harry Potter? Or read a funny or uplifting thread from Classics?

SnowyMouse · 02/02/2014 19:01

I've got the Les Mis DVD on. It's helping.

LEMmingaround · 02/02/2014 19:27

Ive never seen that snowy, its on my list of one days.......... we are watching charlie and the chocolate factory, the first one - and the best :)

SnowyMouse · 02/02/2014 19:34

The first one is definitely the best!

SnowyMouse · 02/02/2014 20:50

I think I'm going to lie down/curl up in bed.

NanaNina · 02/02/2014 22:20

Oh snowy I'm glad you're still at home as I know you hate hospital but the most important thing is that you're safe you deserve to be safe snowy - assume the CPNs will be back in tomorrow. Hope you can get cosy in bed.

ColouringInQueen · 03/02/2014 10:18

Morning everyone. (((Snowy)))
Well I'm still in bed. Struggling to get going today (understatement) but trying hard not to beat myself up about it. Have a less interesting week ahead and cleaning today. But feeling pretty zonked again.

DumDum32 · 03/02/2014 11:15

Hi all,

New day today with a fresh attitude from me. Saw cpn this morning & they have made me feel at ease about being here. They said they will support me throughout the time & really help get me back to myself again! Don't feel unwanted now :)

Hope u all have a good day :) & hugs to all

DumDum32 · 03/02/2014 11:17

ciq just take it slowly & don't over do it with the cleaning - I get really bad with it once I start as everything has to be cleaned I can't help myself!
