The demons are creeping in and I've had a bloody terrible 24 hours, having missed two job interviews due to being too depressed to leave the house, then having a blazing row with a grumpy, childish, reactionary boyfriend because I borrowed his last blank cd to make my a mix of her favourite songs for her birthday as I've got no money. He decided this was a mortal sin, and screamed abuse at me even though I apologised. It having already been a bad day anyway, I snapped and threw my dinner at him when he called me a slag! This was very out of character for me and I scared myself. Then I spent a couple of hours trying to sleep on a park bench in the early hours, accompanied by my cat who wouldn't leave me on my own and and acted for all the world like a guard dog. Now I'm desperately trying to find somewhere else to live, a friend has offered me the tenancy of her flat but I need to raise the deposit, nigh on mpossible since I have no income whatsoever! Meltdown ahoy...

Moral of the story?-leave a bi-polar sufferer well-alone when they are having a downward mood swing!

Oh heck that sounds like the sort of I'd do...
I got myself cut off by the in coming tide one day in my search for solitude... fortunately the sea didn't come right up to the cliff face!
I told you we weren't poles apart....

Blimey, were you asleep while the tide was coming in? Scary! I only lasted a couple of hours, got far too cold, plus my cat was shouting at me, think he was cold too, so I snuck back in.

Not asleep, no, just lost in my own world and not aware the tide had come in and cut me off. By the time I realised there was nothing else for it, but to retreat to beyond the tide's reach and wait for hours until it went out again so I could get off the beach...

I know things look bad to you, but don't become a tramp! Sleeping on park benches is seriously not at all advised. Have you thought of asking your local council for advice, or you could try the Citizen's Advice Bureau, they are excellent.

But please: no more sleeping on park benches!!!

Tom.

I won't do it again, it was far too cold for one thing. I know it was silly, but sometimes my mental safety seems more important to me than physical safety, which sounds ridiculous I know.

It's good that you won't do it again. Mind and body both need looking after equally.

Tom.
