I started a club in my bath - stange place to start one, which I call the Black Dog Club. When I realise that I'm feeling really crap and the ol' D is setting in I think of all those who have/had what I have and wonder at the great things they have acheived and it comforts me - you have acheived great things! <BR/>I know it sounds a bit peculiar but I'll be thinking of you as inspiration the next time I enter the BDC - God that sounds worrying! I really am quite normal I hasten to add... oh dear I think I'm making things worse!!!! <BR/>What I am trying to say is - I have a inkling about what you went through and you've come out so strong you probably have no idea! <BR/>Love the trees and yes an empty home, a ruin etc sets me off too especailly if it is deliberate!Tattieweaslehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10723634612274763884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2290730210325479006.post-28302547067417501392007-06-11T16:34:00.000+01:002007-06-11T16:34:00.000+01:00Oh my darling girl...I had no idea...

I came over to ask you about cooking bats and did a double take as I read this.....but very glad you got it out. Better out than in. I too have sat in a car with a baby, wailing my eyes out...it's a horrible place to be.<BR/>The cave place sounds fascinating btw.<BR/>loads of love<BR/>jxxxxxxxExmoorjanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09230395732150659356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2290730210325479006.post-37335635085329475942007-06-11T10:04:00.000+01:002007-06-11T10:04:00.000+01:00Yes it did touch a nerve, I can so relate to what ...Yes it did touch a nerve, I can so relate to what you were feeling and am amazed at your friend and your Dad ... glad you feel better for letting ot out - that's what we're all here for!Suffolkmumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15123007594112557168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2290730210325479006.post-4969468170496982852007-06-10T15:39:00.000+01:002007-06-10T15:39:00.000+01:00Yes, I definitely believe in a problem shared etc....Yes, I definitely believe in a problem shared etc.. The past six years for me have hardly been my own but I knew the day would come when I could live my own life with my own feelings and thoughts. Yet, just as you have done, I kept it all to myself for fear of burdening anyone else. Now I look back, there is so much I could have done but I just didn't have the courage to stand up for myself. However, through my own weakness, I have learnt how short life is and how incredibly special we all are, in our own way. <BR/><BR/>A lovely blog, probably touched a nerve for many people.

Perhaps having a good rant will help you let go. The knees up last night sounded good fun. I'm trying very hard to stop being a people pleaser. I've done it all my life and now it's my turn. I'm going to get old and cranky and be very difficult indeed.

That feeling of holding everything together - you nailed it. I wished for someone to just take you away from the 50th and ask you what you really needed.<BR/>I'm glad you had such a good time last night!Pondsidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02407539138546412482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2290730210325479006.post-10286458472852466782007-06-09T13:46:00.000+01:002007-06-09T13:46:00.000+01:00Oh BodranI really sympathise.I know what it is lik...Oh Bodran<BR/><BR/>I really sympathise.<BR/>I know what it is like to have so much happening it eventually overwhelms you.<BR/><BR/>None of my friends know the half of what I have been through. I am actually a very private person by nature. And I have battled and battled for at least a couple of years 'something' like depression which I haven't been able to put a finger on. I have only just admitted to myself since I have started blogging that I must have a problem and how unhappy I have been-everything caught up with me. I don't have much family as you probably know and several of my friends were too consumed in their own issues. For whatever reasons I didn't feel able to talk to the others. <BR/>I was quite angry that I am always there for other people but no-one could see the state I had got myself into. <BR/>But now I have been able to accept that we are all different, not everyone is as sensitive as me to pick up on things and that I shouldn't judge everyone by my own high standards. <BR/><BR/>Instead I carried it all myself and at times it (depression/stress) has consumed me and I have been miserable and irritable.<BR/><BR/>I have been to the doctors now and I know I said I wouldn't blog again on the other site. But somehow I feel comfortable here on CCW and now I have started my Orange Man Blog, which is a journey of self discovery, I feel compelled to continue and put to rest some of the feelings I have towards different people that are close to me.<BR/><BR/>What I am trying to say, somewhat inarticulately is that I do understand what you are saying. <BR/>I hope you will continue blogging and maybe today's blog have helped get some of your feelings out in the open.<BR/><BR/>We are all here for you and won't let you down.<BR/><BR/>warm wishes<BR/>xBluestocking Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01502764742097142372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2290730210325479006.post-72510221853688259042007-06-09T13:19:00.000+01:002007-06-09T13:19:00.000+01:00Oh gosh Bodran, me dear, do you feel better for le...Oh gosh Bodran, me dear, do you feel better for letting that all out!
