An anniversary.
Today is the anniversary of the death of two young men who died in a car accident on the Moreton Spur last year. It doesn't seem that long ago. The co op and most of hoylake was shocked and stunned by the accident, and it hit the community hard. I am thinking about the lad's families today, and their friends who must be missing them even more today than ever. I can't imagine what it would be like to lose a friend like that, I don't want to know.
I went to the doctor this morning. Apparently I am 'a bit depressed'. They're geniuses these doctors! Anyway She has put me on antidepressants...Citalopram. Will see how they go. Oh and apparently my cholesterol is too high too, so in a month she wants to start me on cholesterol tablets too. I'm gonna rattle by the end of the year.

you should try and get a psych referral- they are much more knowlageble about these things.. well you might get something more informative than 'a bit depressed' out of them anyway!
