The Problem of Pain - CS Lewis.
Lewis was a brilliant theologian and the discussion of suffering being permitted by God is treated from his own previously held Atheist view and the monotheistic argument.
Orthodoxy - GK Chesterton
The greatest theology book of all time imo. Chesterton compares Christian philosophy with others and it is brilliantly written.

Like you M, I'm no doctor, and I wouldn't like to say who amongst the punters on here is truly depressed, or who' is on the way there.' But even if positive thinking just worked on the cases in bold, wouldn't it have been worthwhile?
Btw, as a nurse,would you say that there are different recovery rates for patients with negative/ positive outlooks ?
Positive thinking works if your mind is clear enough to think. Having dealt with elderly people who have had breakdowns, there is medical intervention required when the mind is sick. If you can clear your head, you are not clinically depressed

In theory that's a crime against nature
I agree. Temperance and enjoying nature are a superb way of appreciating the World. I went hill walking in Sheriffmuir recently and had a hip flask and some Glenfiddich. I had enough to keep me warm and give me a glow but getting drunk is disgusting and dangerous in that context. Well said Henry

Bushmills do some really nice single malts but overall I've got to say Scottish whiskeys are the best.
Anyone recommend a good yin?

One of us is enjoying life Davie...and the stats don't stack up in your favour, Champ.

Oh my. Someone is rattled. Wanna hug it out big guy?
Nah you're alright. You just keep posting.
Realise though that superficial cynicism ruins you mate. Think deeper and enjoy life more. You're ok by the way; a good guy

Frozen River - 7/10
Takes place in the days before Christmas near a little-known border crossing on the Mohawk reservation between New York State and Quebec. Here, the lure of fast money from smuggling presents a daily challenge to single moms who would otherwise be earning minimum wage. Two women - one white, one Mohawk, both single mothers faced with desperate circumstances - are drawn into the world of border smuggling across the frozen water of the St. Lawrence River. Ray and Lila - and a New York State Trooper as opponent in an evolving cat-and-mouse game.
Hadn't even heard of the film when i picked it up in Fopp, but it's really good. Liked the ending as well. I've recently realised i enjoy the majority of films that are set against a snowy backdrop! This really reminded me of Winter's Bone, which is a very good thing.
It's good but I strongly recommend Winter's Bone. It has a female heroine but is far more compelling

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button: Overlong but still an engaging and moving fantasy adaption of F Scott Fitzgerald's short story. Blanchett and Pitt are both excellent and the conclusion is heartbreakingly sad. 6.5/10

I thought you hated swearing?
I do but no one is perfect as human nature is flawed but within the confines of preference, I hate swearing.
I also find you a bit creepy. Sorry about that

Suffered with it big style from my late teens and into my early twenties now.
Very nearly killed me a couple of years ago.
Brutal.
Depending on how serious it is and you can tell yourself, the GP is the first point of contact. Those resources are good for mild depression but if it's your's medical treatment is vital

I think it is a very debilitating experience for anyone who goes through it. It can be caused by either chemical imbalances or underlying psychological reasons. It is something that is easy to laugh at but like a stone on your back when you have to deal with it.
Thank you for speaking up.
And before the wise crackers start their shit. I am an ex infantry soldier and have suffered for many years with something called PTSD. The biggest, toughest b*****ds you will ever meet can by crushed by mental health problems. But sharing with others and understanding you are not alone can be a hugely beneficial experience.
I don't suffer from it but I have known people who have. Your's being related to probably horrific experiences will be more difficult but I hope you get through this. It is good that you and sufferers like PA can discuss and empathise
It is a Partridge quote, yes. I am on the Mobile skin, so I am blissfully unaware of any red dots I may, or may not, have received.
It is a pity you can't see the red dots. Your post earlier was a bit idiotic, in fact you come across as a total c**t. Hope you can read this

Inbred: Low budget British horror/black comedy. Appalling script and direction. Not even bad enough to be good.

The Dark Knight Rises - Absolutely fantastic; not the best in the Bale starring trilogy but up there.

House Of The Devil: Retro 80's style shocker that moves slowly but builds the tension well to a gory climax. A young student accepts a babysitting job in a large country house to pay for her new accommodation. This takes place the night of a lunar eclipse and she finds her employers to be more than strange. It's really tense and becomes scarier as strange noises and happenings occur.
8/10

The Ward: John Carpenter horror set in the 1960's which is a unique twist on "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" in that the central characters are female. It begins with a young woman being incarcerated in a secure ward in a mental institution after she burns a farmhouse down. She then meets her fellow inmates and then they realise that they may not be alone. The twist is predictable but it's a scary, tense and relatively gory (for John Carpenter) horror. 7/10

CS Lewis theology books are far superior to the fantasy novels he wrote. They are however allegorical for this Christian beliefs but his arguments are brilliantly thought out and clear and they stay with you
