    What an utter balmpot I am sometimes, and aye, awwwwwwww you lovely bunch of characters have picked me up heaps, thank you for your ever so kind replies. Anyway, maybe last night I was just listening to my emotion and letting myself go with the flow of the feelings evoked, it did me a lot of good to curl up in a ball and shed some tears - you know exactly what I mean.

    Have woken up today from a very restful nights sleep, bright as a button, feeling so much better, tears are very good for you aye, maybe I just had to get rid of an excess of salt in my tears I propose, laughing at the notion. See?!!

    Or maybe its because I'm typically British and being British and all that I possess the good old British stiff upper lip which holds emotion in, sooner or later, the pressure gets too great and like a safety valve, we have to let off some steam as it were, to release ourselves into the next stage of our up and coming good mood, blimey, now it sounds like I get mood swings, can never win!! (The Celtic balmpot grins)

    Thank you so much all of you, now pay attention to those that need help far more than I, I be fine now, cheers to all of you, love you to bits.

    Kindest regards!!

    Celtic! The other morning, when we were in chat together, remember me telling you that you are meant to be a writer? GNAT, btw, what an exquisite description of Celtic! That was simply gorgeous! Celtie, there are so many awesome suggestions from so many here on this thread..........Mav is right, as Maya said. You have to let it out, no matter if someone is listening or not. You express yourself wonderfully, so, either record vocally your throughts, or write them down in a journal........believe me, I am the most resistant to journaling too. So, the compromise I've made is to use my computer........typing for me, is easier and quicker when my thoughts are flying and my fingers can't keep up!

    Smooches, lovey,

    I am sending you a big hug over the pond. I hope you feel better soon. Sometimes live is such a bitch. I wish I had a magic wand to make everyones pain disappear. Some of us have suffered greatly and are still hurting over things in our life. I do hope that you can feel free to express your thoughts and feelings. I care for everyone, even though I only know you and others through the board.
    I don't chat very often as sometimes I get confused by all the different conversations and its sometimes difficult for me to concentrate. But I still like to post and read about the stories and lives of people.

    I hope that you will be okay and just maybe today is a bad day for you. But whatever the case know please that I care and would love to hug you and let you know my feeling.

    Please be well my friend

    All the best and good luck

    Be good to yourself.

    Love Orangefatcat...

    Ahhhh Celty, I love ya, wooden leg and all *muah*

    For me, I dont have very many bad feelings anymore to try and communicate. But last week I was having a bad day and a bunch of people really made me feel much better.

    I sure hope you would never want to give up on expressing your feeling here. After the recent UK translation thread, I understand you much better.

    one more *muah* for the road

    Celtic, you are a member of this forum and we do care, i also have problems with communicating feelings, i sometimes stick my foot in my mouth or say the wrong thing and don't mean to . Believe me everyone has crap days , some more then others lately i am in the more range. Each day things will get better and if you need to post for help you know we will be here , we are family.

    Celtic, I'm glad to hear you're feeling better! That's one good thing about these emotions, the lows always give way to high points, it just takes some time.

    I want you to know that I have always thought very highly of you. Even when you exasperate me, I just want to smack you upside the head, then give you a hug. Or a beer. Or both. Granted, it's hard to say that you really know someone you've only met via the internet, but all of us here, myself included, have formed such a positive impression of you. You have such a unique way of writing about your life, your thoughts, etc., your posts are some of the best writing I've seen all day. It's always such a treat to see the photos of your beautiful Cornwall. And you can be so funny; a few times in chat, you've actually made me laugh out loud- and I almost never smile, much less laugh.

    Please hang in there when these emotions get hold of you. All of us here were so wounded by what that "religion" did to us and our lives, our emotions seem always to be either bubbling very close to the surface, or they are buried so deep we can't even find them most of the time. You seem to be the first type; this is definitely the healthier of the two. We're all trying to have "normal" lives now, and maybe working through these ups and downs is just part of the process.

    Bless you, Celtic; may you find peace and lasting happiness, as you truly deserve them.
