This thread is so boring. What is so interesting about an insane peice of meat that comes out of a females stomach?

I was hoping you could tell us from first-hand experience ?

Sweet love of the mythical entity called God,

I pop in from time to time and see this board plumbing new depths of utter hopelessness.

It seems to have turned in to some sort of whacked-out love-fest featuring the multiple personalities of the only two residents of this board.

Stop molly-coddling and pandering the youngster. Wrap him in cotton wool and he won't try and break out.

Sit him down. Put a pistol on the table and say...

"Look, stop pi55ing around. Either top yourself now, or make an effort to sort yourself out". Judge his reaction.

If he pulls the trigger (on the unloaded pistol), then he really is scr3w3d and needs help. If he doesn't, then he is at least willing to confront his problems, and recovery is much more short-term)

So to recap : Trigger = Long Term Basketcase. No Trigger = Saveable

ps...If he does go for the shooter, you may like to shout "BANG!" just to heighten the tension.

pps...only joking

SasGuru is not a twat.

Now don't go jumping to any hasty conclusions

Your boss is SasGuru and I claim my £5

Ardy SasGuru is not my boss, AND SasGuru is not a twat.

Good grief! You're not that useless bint I hired a while ago are you? So you've spent all your time posting on here? I'll definitely have something to say when we meet. On the other hand you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours eh? Fnaaaahhhhh

[SallyAnne]

Yes, I am, and it is compounded by the fact that knobhead boss wants me to go and see him - in another building no less. Can't imagine what he could possibly want on a Friday afternoon - to sack me perhaps ! He's managed to ignore me most of the week...twat

Perhaps he's in a friday mood and he's chancing his luck at asking you out for a pint tonight?

I'm sure he'll just want to see how your week's been - try not to be too honest!

Good to see your initial impressions of your boss is in good health.

It may seem as though it's not working for her right now, but it most surely is. When your friend looks back afterwards is only when she will really see what help it was to have a good friend such as yourself. It would be much, much worse if she was just left to collapse into a funk of despair.

We've been best mates since we were kids - I more like a pain in the arse sister than a good friend. But I know what you're saying.

[Lucy]

Yeah I guess.

How are you today anyway mate? Are you still feeling poorly?

Yeah I know - I'm doing my best. It doesn't seem to be working though. I've got another mate who has "hibernated" for the last year or so - all of us have taken that approach, and it does make her a little better.
But Tracy (my best mate, who I'm talking about here) - that just doesn't seem to be working for her. Its depression caused by real problems you see - its not in her mind, she's facing it every day. And visiting her just isn't helping at all. Nothing is going to help her except her son getting better.
I feel a bit useless.

You are not useless, like others have said, just keeping in contact with her will help, even though it might not seem that way at the time.

Yeah I guess.

Nah, don't feel useless - you think it's not helping, and she may even say so - but after the dust has settled and her son is on the mend, even if it takes years - she'll know that you were there, and she's supported. Make it known that you're there for her - take her out of her situation if you can, to the movies, on a day trip... it's escapism but she may need the break.
