Just wanted to say on here how at ease i feel talking about my illness and how i feel know it sounds daft but had a shave tonite after 3weeks of stubble surprising how something doing something small can cheer you up

It doesn't sound daft, it makes complete sense! And I bet you also look great now! Not that I'm suggesting you might not have done with three weeks of stubble! :p

Hi Duncan, I know what you mean about the small things that most people take for granted but when you're depressed even getting washed feels like a monumental task, I know as I've been there, and believe me it DOES get easier with time! Keep on keeping on x

Hello ruby thank you for comment you are right things will get easier not easy because sometimes i get impatient and into much of a hurry to get better im learning day by day

Hi again Duncan I'm sorry that you are feeling inpatient, but I don't think there is a quick way as when I was ill I hit rock bottom and it took me a long time to recover. Just be as patient as you can and you will get back where you want to be. I wish you a speedy recovery

Thank yout ruby think its because i feel i haven't done much with my life but guess i need to be content with myself and what i do in life anyway thank you again and hope you are well

Hiya, I'm glad this forum is helping you, I am always amazed at how much I can be lifted by just having a chat with someone who understands and well done on the shave!! Keep that good feeling in your head and take baby steps with yourself. Take care.

Hi Duncan

I agree it's a great help coming in the forum and chatting to lovely people who understand.

You mention how doing something small can cheer you up :) if there is one positive thing about this illness it's that it makes you appreciate so much those little things in life :)

Totally know what you mean Duncan! I can go weeks without washing my hair or having a shower ( I know, disgusting..lol), and I know I'm not the only one ;)

It just seems like such a task, but you do feel so much better after it!!

So it doesn't sound daft at all! I think it's just part and parcel of what we're suffering from..

Good on ye for getting it done and glad it cheered ye up!

(Shame it doesn't last forever and you have to do it all again in a wee while lol)

take care Duncan,

Love, Holly Xxx
