Xmas has started for me ...

Last day of school, now two weeks off. I haven't posted that much recently as I've been a bit down and haven't felt up to communicating. I changed medication about two weeks ago and it's beginning to take effect, which is helping. Really not sure what the next two weeks have in store for me, as Mum is very poorly, but I intend to try and make the most of my time off and do things for both the people who are close to me, and myself. Looking forward to spending a bit more time time chatting to my lovelies on here! X

That's great, Lucy. I'm glad the meds are helping. Now you have a couple of weeks to re-cooperate and enjoy yourself :).

Having failed my teaching course, I admire you for being able to cope with so much in your life. Being a teacher is hard enough without an ill family member and a daily battle with depression. I take my hat off to you! xx

Hi David and sorry about your Mum , it's a hard time when parents are ill.

Each other up.

Thanks so much for your support David, it means a lot. It must be really tough with your Mum being back in hospital and your dad having difficulties too. Always here to chat anytime to want to x

Hi Lucy

Ah great to hear from you. I kind of guessed you weren't feeling the best. Hopefully

The Meds will kick in now. You are so right to just make the most of Christmas

One way or the other, especially as you have your own two and you.

Hi Lucy yes I realised you are going through tough time at the moment but good that you have time off and that the meds are kicking in. Even though you haven't posted quite as much lately (which is 100% understandable in view of all the pressures you are under right now ) you are definately one of the "regulars" and I always love hearing from you. Love your cat too :)
