as i said to gee.i think of the song by eric idle."ALWAYS LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE OF LIFE"think of a song and it gets me through lifes problems.love and hugsxxxxx(:

hi lisa, will be about in fits and starts today. how do i deal with frustration? alchohol helps a lot! i'm a bloke so my attitude is there are no such things as problems, just challenges to overcome! xx

what is it paul.love i'm going to the pub for a couple.and we all know what your couple are don't we paul!!!!glad to hear your on today.love and hugsxxxxxx(:

two techniques 1. SMILE - now matter how bad things are, there's no point in wailing and moaning - if you try and stay cheerful it helps no end 2. TALK - sometimes it's great to talk things sthrough - sometimes it's great to just talk about any old rubbish to take your mind of things... but keep talking... thats what your friends are for (and if you don't have any, go and see a counsellor)... I would have cracked up (even more lol) if not for some of the lovely people on here (you know who you are !)

i agree paul it's good to talk.i know from experience that if talking with a friend or member of the family is too hard then see a counciller.they are not there to judge you or tell you how you are feeling.that has to be done by you.and also like you said no matter how bad life is.KEEP SMILING.love and hugsxxxxxxxxx(:

thats what i have my happy pills for- they deal with it!! lol

steedie take care.and keep smiling girl.you will feel so much better.if you ever need to chat email me.i know how it feels i've been therexxxx(:

I tend to hibernate and not really show others how i am feeling unless it really gets me down.... having parents that can't hear means i never really learnt to TALK about things.... still bottle things up then explode when really angry!! :O) Not good but true.... still have my painted face for outside the flat tho and smile and laugh whenever I can.

yeah see i'm still a big fan of the alchohol approach! x

thanks lisa-x-x-

we're here di.it's hard i know to try and be happy when deep down in side it kills you.but your a stronger person and i can see that in your personality.it shines through.WE LOVE YOU DI.love and hugsxxxxx(:

i take after my mum alot though...we are both very emotional and do tend to cry easily, not sensitive but when im down i like to have a cuddle and cry! also tend to hit the drink, try not to do that so much though, sometimes it just makes me feel worse!!!

steedie we'll have a group cuddle later.love and hugsxxxxxxxx(:

1. A good cry 2. A real good shout 3. Bend the ears of someone close 4. Pick myself up 5. Dust myself down 6. And stick that smile back on my face ... in that order too! Mandy :)

I know you are babe and it's easier talking to you lot on here than it is my own family..... they have seen me as the one that copes for so long that they can't accept that sometimes I am the one that needs support!! :O) As for the alcohol..... without doubt the dark nights would be worse without that glass bottle of Red!! :O)

Aren't you all good. I find swearing helps a lot. And kicking. I gloated over the demise of our old photocopier. Told it was going to the great scrap heap in the sky. And what has arrived in the office today? SON OF PHOTOCOPIER. Think I'll invest in some steel capped boots!

I turn to chewy sweets to relieve tension!, (but not good for fillings!).

massage aswell helps with aromotherapy oils.failing that punch your husband!!!!xxxxxxxxx(:

don't bottle things up - not good for you. Can all go horribly wrong.

i agree paul.can lead to alsorts of health problems aswell.i used to get terrible migraines.but now touch wood i am migraine freexxxx(:
