I love how many positive threads there have been recently.

Like Oliver, I've had GP appts that last over 40 mins, (which always makes me feel awkward coming out and seeing the queue of poeple :s) including one who was a GP at my parents town when I registered as a temp. patient so she didn't even know me, and still sat with me for the best part of an hour talking. The worst bit of that was my dad in the car waiting for me thinking I'd only be ten minutes. :p

I had a nice nurse when I was kicking off in A&E who was still polite to me and then was like "wait, let me do the back of your gown up" and was really kind even though I'd been a complete nightmare.

There's a mental health advisor at uni and I went to see him once and he was like "do you want a chat?" and I spend over 2 hours in there, even though I knew he must have been busy and I'd completely disrupted his morning. Same with my department support advisor, I've spent a lot of time there too, and they're always really good about it and just let me talk when I needed to.

	It doesn't matter where you come from; it matters where you go. No-one gets remembered for the things they didn't do. We won't all be here this time next year, so while you can take a picture of us. We're definitely going to hell, but we'll have all the best stories to tell.
