I'm learning..(trying to) lyrics for 20 odd songs.
I've been asked to sing in a covers band, which is good.
But, the previous singer was a lady, so the songs are a bit odd for a bloke to sing.
I don't mind that, but she had a hell of a high voice, and I'm struggling a bit.
It's too close to my first gig, for any key changes, so I just have to dig deep, and go for it.
Folk with mental health issues are not loony's MW.
If you really are in one of those centres, then I hope they can help you.
I read elsewhere you are drinking?
That is not going to help you, that makes things worse.
You've been through a lot, I know that, but you need to help yourself.
You have two beautiful children, they need you.
Do it for yourself, but also for them, quit bloody drinking.
Harsh of me I know, but molly coddling does not work.
Your a good girl, but you need someone to tell you how it is, not bullshyte you. _________________
Sounds like lots of fun Xcotty. Let us know how the gig goes.
I''m not up to much just now.....working, usual houseworky stuff, and trawling ebay etc to find a suitable picture/artwork for the boys room.
Aye Alison, it's heavy going, but good fun, something to get my teeth into.
It's a gorjas day here today, hope it's the same with you pal. _________________

I hope the gigs go well Xcotty what over covers do u do? Most 80's stuff I would guess?
At present I am in the process of attempting a novel. I have completed my synopsis have all the characters sorted and the plots and the imagination but it really is a long term goal. I'm in it for the duration and even if it doesn't work in the end it will have been fun attempting. _________________ Self Determination is something you're born with - but propaganda is something we learn!

Aye....given the way the relationship had gone, and how it ended up--and indeed, her life afterward--it was a sadly three--dimensionally apropos song. Another facet of 'Going nowhere'....

so why mock mental illness.

It's not funny but we all mock it because we know we are all very close to the edge at times ourselves so like a lot of humour there's a fear lurking in the background
Too troo Bluemoon,most folk have skeletons in the closet,including yours truly.
Some times the best way to beat it is to try and cheer others up in some way or another.
When the guid lady always complains,i always say to her to think of the poor kids in Africa who are starving to death. _________________ Life isn't about how many breaths you take but by how many people you leave breathless.

Ah'm probably 5.6 inches from the edge. But as you say Wasere, if you canna mak yersel laugh. . . . .mak somebody else laugh.

Yeah I have just been through a bit of a tough time, also my OH really not funny, but neither of us would like to hear the above words, really not funny at all, we all have our problems and have to get on with it, you cannot help someone who is not willing to help themselves, enough said
I'm sorry but Mental health issues are not always down to someone helping themselves. I wish it was that easy.
I have a husband who suffers from a serious mental health problem and a grown up mentally handicapped son, both of whom I love dearly and neither of whom could be made better by helping themseves. _________________ Here's to the Little Gentleman in the black velvet coat

Far too complicated to discuss here I think. Things are not always down to someone helping themselves BUT I have found that if they are not willing or able to help themselves then they get no help because they have to agree to any treatment. Catch 22 I think. (And I have 35 years of trying to find a solution to the problem behind me)
I agree Blue Moon, It's a case of horses for courses I think. Each idividual is different and has to be treated as an individual and not lumped under one particular tag.
I think that applies to life in general because we are all unique and different. _________________ Here's to the Little Gentleman in the black velvet coat

I cant help being a borderline and maniac depressant. I am not going to use this as excuse for being who I am or was when I was in hospital. Yes Im on high dosis of prozac, valium and truxsal but im coping. There are ppl wose of than me. I appreciate a laugh, thats just me, but not make fun of another is not right who are worse than me. There is a special somone on this board that wakes me up to that fact. Thank you, I wont name you as you are brilliant _________________ Scotschat Madwelshie is my name - madness is my game!!!
wouldn't mind being in a Big brother hoose with some of the members of this list. That would be a very interesting experience. I don't particularly like the programme but sometimes like how they all react to each other. For instance how the others are reacting to the posh guy from the home counties who is actually a well balanced kind of a chappie. The fact that he has been up for eviction 5 times speaks volumes about class mentality. The sole Scottish lassie in the house drives me bonkers with her "Can't stand the way he speaks" that is her only reason for nominating him. Ah humans what a complex lot we are. _________________ Self Determination is something you're born with - but propaganda is something we learn!
How very true R R .
Unfortunately, I think the Big Bro is 'popular' i.e. gets good ratings because ratings demand programmes are targetted at the 'mass prols' in our society.
Depressive, like wot I is !! would make fabulous viewing, if only any of us could open up !!
PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
High on a hill stood a lonely goatherd, loee loee loee loee loeet !!
How very true!
I think living in a house with 15 others like BB would be difficult. It must be difficult for those who were in there and then watch back at how they really were in there. The current wee cl-eek in there have no idea how badly they are perceived by the public.
Now how about a group therapy session lol. _________________ Self Determination is something you're born with - but propaganda is something we learn!
Mad Welshie,
Of course you can't help your illness. No-one can help being ill. I live with a manic depressive husband and understand the illness well.
The only thing you can do is stick to your medication and simlpy ignore the few idiots who are out there. I hope your good times far outway the rough episodes.
I think much of the problems in Mental health is because it's such a taboo subject for many, and understanding is scarce. That's why I think it can be good to discuss these issues openly. It blows away much of the rubbish and ignorance about these types of illness and helps people understand.
You would be surprised to know just how many of the population suffer from various forms of mental health problems. I myself suffered from a severe clinical depression many many years ago and that was why I went into Psychiatric nursing. I remembered well how I was perceived by some in the community at that point in my life, and it angered me. I did not ask to become ill, it just happened.
