For all who gave support and understanding, i guess a few of you know what depression and anxiety is like, its worse than a cold for sure, but the main aid to a cure is support, all though not cured i feel a heck of a lot better when i can drive the bad thoughts away with the good ones some of you guys have given me, recovery may be a long road but the journey is much nicer meeting friends along the way.
:biggrin: Wooly.

There are times when things look bleak and it can be easy to let that settle in your mind. I can't tolerate psychotropic medications (haven't found one that doesn't make me worse) so the options are "get out" "move around" "think of something different" "try something different" so the days (especially in winter) don't take on a relentless sameness. If you lived on this side of the pond, I'd insist that we take on restoration projects on British bikes and tune them up and flog them all summer long.

I wasn't sure what to say, to joke or be serious, so I left it up to those who know you.
I am glad to see you feeling better though. :-)

We're with you, pal. Keep your pecker up. (For non-Brits, that means 'stay cheerful'.)

Ah, yes... I phrased that badly. Of course, I meant to explain to non-Brits what it would mean to a Brit. (I do get the irony of your comment, but thought that maybe I should explain for the benefit of some who don't have English as a first language. :wink:)
