Oliver: Ah, at least it wasn't too early in the morning. Timezone difference can be a major headache. Thank-you for the hugs. *hugs back*

Ileana: I can't offer an escape from reality, is it okay if I offer you a hug and a listening ear? *offers hug*

*hugs Julie*

JK: The Champix is a Quit-Smoking aid. Apparently not good if you have a mental illness. My GP prescribed it anyway. I managed three days, but already was suicidal and right back in the middle of the depression. If you know someone that has a mental illness (especially a mood disorder) and wants to quit smoking, please advise them not to go on Chantix/Champix. I don't know if it has any other names. *cuddles in tight to you*

*walks around the ward and through the garden and smoking area to find and offer hugs to everyone then slips into her hidden space to sit down and cry again*

Mark: Sorry I must have been typing while you were. *hugs you back*

hey Kahlia, Champix sounds like a bad call from your doc. Hoping that you're off it now and things will return to "normal" soon. *hugs*

I gave up smoking using nicotine patches about 15 years ago, not sure if they would be any better for you?

depression =not good
suicide = worse

Please take care hun, we are here for you, and happy for you to slink off into the garden for a while if it helps you get through.

*stays cuddling tight*

Thanks JK. My housemate and I were both on it, and are now both off it, for the same reason. He's pretty much back to normal .... I'm not. I'm going to ask about nicotine patches, I'm just a bit worried they won't stick and may contain traces of latex - which would mean they will burn me. But yeah. *cuddles into JK*

Ugh , well my nights sleep started with me lying there feeling very tired and achey but not sleeping for about 3-4 hours . then I slept for about 11 - 12 hours.
Today , well it's too early to tell how today will be , my Sister and brother in law are coming over to use my P.C. as theirs won't play a disc or something , They will probably bring Mariama my 4 month old neice .

* Hopes toady will be nice and I get nice post *
*Hugs JK goodnight*
*Hugs Kahlia back again :)*
I feel in the need for hugs

*crawls under my blanky*

*hugs Mark* I hope your day turns out okay.

*gives Julie a cuddle before letting her go under her blanky*

*sits back down in her spot and curls up because the tears have dried up ... for now*
