Julie Andrews once said: When the dog bites, when the bee stings, when Im feeling sad. I simply remember my favourite things and then I dont feel so bad.
If you're going to make me feel old and pretend you dont know wtf Im talking about, have a listen: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33o32C0ogVM"]My Favorite Things - Julie Andrews - YouTube[/ame]
So what are some of your favourite things? 10 would be good, 5 if you're really struggling.
Nothing thats against the rules ;)

PM me if you want a PDF copy of the ICD-10or the Mental Health Act 1983/2007. I ALSO HAVE THE DSM-V BOOK and am a pharmacology student.
