Jokes are not about individuals involved. They can be about the situation and the reaction to it. What is more offensive is clowns seriously speculating about cause and outcome when they know f**k all. I also can't go grief junkies telling us about their deep shock....you're not, you might be surprised or even a bit concerned, we all are, but you're not involved so shut up.

People might shut up about their " deep shock " when you shut the f**k up with your pseudo intellectual jokes. There are people on here with genuine tears yet you and some others on here still put up the big LOOK AT ME banner.

Bump.

What's happening around the country? Can I take a snow day or not?

Absolutely brilliant television. So good even the crowd were watching it.

[Depression]

Cheers for the replies. Its lifted a bit but I genuinely felt I was getting over it. It just seemed to swamp me earlier today. Very up and down since the initial help from the meds but I'll call go tomorrow I reckoned.

You don't say how long you've been on your meds. It may be that they are the wrong type for you and a visit to the doctor will help. I was on a particular type of tablet for around a month and my moods were even worse until I got my prescription changed.

Edited to add, go and have a look at previous depression or MH threads.

It's not so much what you wrote, I was advised by a psychologist to do just this, it's the flippant/throwaway way you threw it into the debate. I would have red dotted you too but I realise that would feed your "look at me" syndrome.There are people on here trying to lay bare their demons and you jump in with a pathetic one liner that appears to trivialise the illness. It would have been more helpful if you had posted a link to the thread.

[Depression]

I've been diagnosed with depression for about seven years and from what I now know of the illness I have had it much longer than that. During that time, while on one type of medication or another and one type of therapy or another, I put anyone who ever cared about me through all kinds of shit. It all came to a head about three years ago when the arse almost fell out of my world. Over these past three years I have managed to come off the medication and start to take some control of my life. I felt that the tablets were making me so numb to what was actually happening around me that, against my doctors advice but with my familys encouragement, I started to wean myself off them. I'm not saying that taking medication for depression doesn't work but I am saying to concentrate on the longer term effect they are having on you. The best piece of advice I got was from a dragon of a therapist who said that I should start taking responsibility for my own actions. I'm not "cured" of depression but the bad times aren't so black and the good times aren't so full of sunshine anymore. I still find it difficult to talk about things but if anyone fancies a blether through PMing, feel free.
