Morning Army!

Lovely morning here today. Sweetest Puppy has had her short walk - the long one is in the afternoon. She's now playing with her plant pot. She has her human's genes.



Funny how you wake up and know This is what I want to listen to today? Today's a Bach day chez Dreamy.

Hope the broken back and triple fractures of the leg and arm are healing nicely after yesterday's troubles, JC. And that LS the havoccy dog will get to go walkies.

Laters!

My plan today is to totally ignore my son & husband who went out to watch a football match in the pub. for an hour, at 5.30 and returned - husband pissed -at 10.30.

Dinner I was making when they left sat there all that time !
Obviously the people they met there were more important than me & the dinner I made....
It's not funny or quaint any more.....

Sorry Dreams

Morning Army!! I had a bit of trouble getting in today--databaseerror...

Dreamy, thanks for the coffee--I love classical in the mornings-- the girls call it, "our morning music"-- could you put on our morning music, mama? Always manages to lift my spirit.
Satz, sorry about the DH thing. That really sucks the big one. My feelings definitely would have been hurt and I'm kindof pissed at yours-- he should be more thoughtful, for sure!!
Molly, I hope you have yourself a nice, relaxing Sunday--glad you're seeing the light and that it continues into your week. Way to change the situation, if it's situational?

:l to all of you and wishing a lovely Sunday. We're lucky that the sun's out--but are mourning the end of our summer break. Tomorrow is up and at 'em...

Think most men would rather admit they had the pox than depression (now there's a huge generalisation).

Simple thing is if he's got clinical depression he needs some pills to re-wire his brain as its a bit broken (geez I wish I knew the long words) and he needs to see the doctor or he may just need talking therapies.

I suppose it is a bit mortifying - even I'd struggle to admit I was depressed /down / need help.
& I'm a woman
I've never been in that situation - so I don't know how it feels. I think if I was in a really black place - I would deffo go looking for the medication..... no doubt about it.

And the alcoholism increased the depression & visa versa?.
Have you had it to the same extent since Molls ?

Morning Jackie!
Molls, sorry to hear about the hubs-- I think, like you said, it is more difficult in some ways, if the depression only shows up periodically but in huge waves. It's something I've suffered from my whole life--I've decided against meds and it seems to be better now than ever before-- but I know it's been tough for the people I live with. Especially the loves of my life. They seem to be the ones that see the "re?l" me, for better or worse! Tough situation, Molly, but the fact that he has asked for books and is reading is perhaps a good sign/first step..?
I am doing alright on the not drinking front-- it's been VERY tough going the past couple of days! But I am happy and relieved that I fought the fight, did the work, used my tools and made it through. I will not give in again to the lying voice of al, but f*** it's a pain in the ass sometimes... as you all know!!
