THINGS ARE STILL TOUGH FOR ME.

[karl]

As Maxine said save the messages and show them to the Police you do not have to put up with this.
Sounds to me like she's maybe jealous of the friendship you have with her son.

As for your tablets Marian four weeks is a long time if they make you feel bad.

Many years ago I was on prescribed pills after my ear operation, the doctor was happy for me tokeep taking them but I wanted off them. I weaned myself off them and gave myself a few weeks to see how things were and I was fine, I then went back and told my doctor and he was pleased for me - but I said Yes but no thanks to you or I'd still be on them.

Anyway Marian perhaps you should try and get on without the pills, you have your dogs and your music to give you joy and the good friends you have. I've heard of people feeling worse on pills before so let's hope you can do without them and fight this on your own. I know you can do it.

Sounds to me that this Mother has more problems than her son Marian. Her aim and intention is to hurt and she wants to know that you've seen her messages. Don't satisfy her by replying to them. She will tire of this if she gets no reaction.
Nick Muir has just played Johnny Mathis ...On Broadway.

I had the same thought as Karl that the mother may be jealous for the rapport you have built up with her son Marian. Perhaps he was also praising you to his mother and she thought she would find a way to break up your friendship. You can be assured he will be missing you as much as you are missing him.

Another 3 messages that I am sure are meant for me--but I cannot prove it, as she does not mention my neme. Just spoke to my friend Laurreen and she says that I should stop looking at facebook for the time being, so I guess that is what I will have to do.

I agree with your friend ....don't feed this persons twisted game

Keep the messages anyway Marian ...she will shoot herself in the foot at some point ...as the saying goes ...give a person enough rope .....meanwhile keep yourself in the company of people who are kind to you ...especially at the moment...thinking of you ....

[Lena & Harry Smith]

Yes, forget this sad person Marian and do what I'm doing, listening to Nick Muir playing Johnny's "Misty "
Nick and Kathy phoned in and they are Johnny Mathis fans.

Karl, I understand your reply and Concern. I am a person who rarely takes pills,but when you get a case of depression like me, it is very difficult to get out of without help---even if that person had a seemingly perfect life-and mine is far from that at the moment.

I never ever thought I would feel like this, and I did not realise how bad I could feel. I am now halfway through the 4 weeks, so hoping I feel better soon, but the things that have happened over the last week, are not helping.

[karl]

Keep smiling Marian, just remember you are better than the sad person who is annoying you, rise above this and show her you are stronger than her.

I have never been depressed but if I get mega fed-up I go out and treat myself to something nice.

We're here for you, you know that.

[mariana44]

Thanks Karl--all the comments on here have really helped, and I say a big thank you to everyone.

Not in a pozstion to treat myself to much-I have a £4000.00 bill coming up for essential repointing !!

Thinking of you Marian ...depression can hit anybody at anytime ....as we all know .....but thank goodness more understanding and help out there these days ....and tablets are so etching that can really help ...ti know this from a family member ....and a friend ....they should never be shirked ...as they can save lives ....

Keep going Marian ...you are brave to tell everybody how you are feeling ....

[maxine]

And tablets are etching? Sorry Marian ...my middle aged brain ... ...anyway ...keep going ...and their is no shame in depression ...

Thanks again Maxine-I went to church today, to try and make sense of things, and afterwards they have coffee in the church foyee, I managed to speak to Annette, one of the pastoral assistants--she helped me when George died, and Annette said, I am doing everything right, getting help, counselling, and going to church for help, and she realised what an effort it had been for me to go there. Our church is lovely, it has loads of things going on, including "open House" on Friday where I go for a couple of hours. Annette and Laurreen, are 2 lovely people who you could call true Christians---June, although she worshipped at our church for many years before she moved, and is now at another church-- she is not !!

This is how supporive Laurreen is--when George was so ill, she stayed with us both all night the night he died, plus the following night, even though she only lives next door but one-she is a true friend, and i am so lucky to have her.

So pleased you have support Marian ....my friend has tablets but won't take counselling ...when i lost my. Mum and. Dad and I had counselling and it really helped ...Lorna was a fab lady and very motherly ...boy did i need a mother figure then ....she was a Christian too and I went to the Alpha course and people were mostly lovely there too ...my hubby and sons said i always came back with a smile in my face ......and when they cooked dinner i lie end it to going around to my Mums for dinner ...it was lovely .....so pleased you are finding all this helpful ....go for it

[mariana44]

Oh yes, I went on an Alpha course after I lost George--it certainly helped a lot, and turned things around for me. I really should have continued with the At Home days, but it was just a bit difficult at the time.

I am seeing the doctor again today, bt I am going to Hobbies this morning, as I am not going to let them decide where I should and shouldn't go---normally I really look forward to it--today, I am dreading it !!
