Firstly the explanation. I have not been posting recently due to the fact that I am going through an incredibly crappy stage in my life. I am today at the lowest point I have been in such a very long time. I can't remember a time in my life when I have cried as much as I have cried just recently. I have shut myself off from everyone and crawled into my little corner to lick my wounds because it's the only way I know how to deal with things, and now it's time to draw a line under all the hurt and start to pick myself up again before I get any lower.
Secondly the apology. To all of you who have contacted me to offer the hand of friendship, only to have me refuse in my own inimitable way by saying "I'm fine" - I apologise. Friends can only be friends when you let them, and I have refused all offers of help and friendship thinking that I could struggle through this on my own. I had started to make good friendships on here, but me being me, shut everyone out of my life because I felt it was the right thing to do. Also, in my own misery I neglected to realise that other people out there have feelings too. I was a complete shit, and I apologise.
Thirdly the request. In attempting to re-join the land of the living, I have in the past few days put my name forward for a couple of munches. The first one being the Yorkshire mini munch. I'm not feeling on top of the world at the moment but need to start getting out and about and meeting people. If, at the munch, I disappear off outside for a minute or two, it's not because I'm bored, it's not because I'm a miserable moo, it's just that I think it's going to be a bit difficult for me just getting the hang of being around people again, joining in the chat etc, and it maybe that I need to withdraw for a minute or two, take a couple of deep breaths and regain my composure. Confidence is wonderful when you have it, but when you've lost it and are trying to get it back again, it takes a while. Bear with me please. Try not to see it as me being aloof, it's just me trying to cope.
Lastly, I want to say thankyou. To the person who has devoted spare time to me recently I want you to know that although I hurt, I will in time come to realise that you were a true friend. I appreciate your kindness and sensitivity when I asked for the impossible, and one day, maybe, I will be able to smile at the memories.
Looking forward (with some trepidation) to meeting new friends and repairing past friendships

wink never met, things can only get better,when you hit bottom bounce :bounce: soon you,ll be flying high :wink:
Sorry to hear that you've been feeling so down Juliett, perhaps getting it out in the open like this and not bottling it all up inside is the first step to putting it all behind you. Well, lets hope so anyway.
See you on Wednesday, you know where, and mines a pint (of cola, might be driving) lol
Come out smiling Jules.
You have so many friends in here, all wishing you well.

Just remember, every silver lining has a cloud lol

Jules,
Dont feel bad about your current situation..... These words have kept me going on more than one occasion.
There is an old Scottish proverb that says, 'I am wounded but I am not slain. I shall lay me down and bleed a while, then I shall rise and fight again.'
Get back up there !
Ian
Thankyou
To all who replied, and all who pm'd, a huge and heartfelt thankyou. I won't reply individually to everyone, cos you've all been so nice that it would take me forever, but I have a warm glow inside me knowing that people out there do care.
I'm sitting here right now after having several pm's from an incredibly nice lady, who I hope in time can become a friend, knowing that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I can't see the light at the moment, but I know it's there, and I know in time that I'm going to be working my way towards it.
There is one last thing I should like to say, I never edit my threads, I never change what I was thinking at the time, but the thankyou section at the bottom of my original thread needs to be amended. It has come to light over the past night, that the person concerned wasn't such a good friend after all. So I should just like to add that despite your messing with my head at a time when I was already so down that I needed a friend, I will pick myself up and get on with life. It's the only way forward.

I think it's wonderful too. Thankyou Ian, it makes me realise that it's ok to be hurt for a while, and that I will get up and start to live life again, and hopefully very soon.
Thankyou
