Illy, couldn't tell you, I couldn't tell much of a difference, but that's not saying much

That's the beans though, not got ground stuff in ages.

Of course the weather/climate here in Brittania's Fair Isle is crap shit much of the time but there is nothing we poor, hapless Brits can possibly do about the geographical position in which we are locacted on this planet. For sunshine and barmy breezes either remain in Yankeeland or head for the Spanish Costas if you seriously "want" to visit our Great European Continent. Why do you think the UK looks so MARVELLOUSLY GREEN AND BEAUTIFUL? Right now both Scotland AND England look supremely lovely as I am sure much America does. For sunshine and barmy breezes either remain in Yankeeland or head for the Spanish Costas if you seriously "want" to visit our Great European Continent. Why do you think the UK looks so MAVELLOUSLY GREEN AND BEAUTIFUL? We also do some AMAZINGLY great curry takeaways, too.

NO but very many thanks for asking me. This life can be a pain at times but I am NO different from millions of others like me who suffer from clinical depression here in the UK.. Please do NOT get me wrong as I am NOT seeking any sympath as I do not deserve any.

I am not a drama queen, God forbid that I should ever be such, I am jst a 28 years old male who has enough of this life.

I am. A drama queen, that is. And depressed. But I really do think you should do your share.. afterall, you are only 28.
You haven't suffered enough yet to be released.


Maybe a quick vacay to the States? Come get some Yankee sunshine n' lovin'. It'll fix you up right quick.

Are you diagnosed and if so are you taking your medication? If not, do so.
