I have finished my counselling for depression, as i am a lot better. Back to my normal self.

Very good, but all I'd just say is keep an eye on things and don't let them get that bad again if you can help it. x

That is my plan. I know how to cope better with the situations that caused it.

Onwards and up wards :kiss:

Yeah, what Curio said. I think you've handled it all in the best possible way;proactive and asking for help as well as speaking to people about how you are feeling. *hugs* xxx

Economy has tanked here, 50% devaluation over Christmas (making all expats 100% more expensive overnight)...so goodbye contract renewal and hello extendo holiday!

:DD

KovacsC · **Posted:** Wed Feb 03, 2016 23:56

Well February is starting off great... I feel mentally better, got my spark back....

You lot have known me a while, a few years ago I was nearly 18 stone, had a crap diet and drank too too much. This caused problems with my liver and kidneys, ultimately give me type 2 diabetes.

Just had my yearly medical. Let's just say it has put me in a great mood....

My weight is under 15 stone. My body fat index has dropped to 21. My diabetes is nearly in remission.

My plan is to get from 21 to 18 and be in the green for the 1st time ever, and hopefully come off my meds for diabetes by managing it by diet and exercise .

So I want to thank the folks that got me into the silly sport of triathlons and helped sort my diet.

It's a pretty minor yay but I'm now off the anti-depressants I've been on since Christmas 2014. I say minor because I was on the lowest dose possible and I've been mentally fine since the first few months of 2015; I just never bothered doing anything about it even though I could really have come off them at least six months ago. I'm curious to see whether there's any effects in coming off them as allegedly they can interfere with your libido and make you gain weight. I probably don't need an increased libido as there's not much chance of any romance on the horizon, but whatever. I am getting some withdrawal effects which are currently amusing me but I can imagine will get tedious if they don't fuck off soon-ish. It seems to be a common thing and is described all over the internet as brain zaps; though 'zap' is a shit word for it and 'pulse' would be a better descriptor I think.

Anyway, being medication free: yay!

Mate that is awesome. A really really big yay

I have been suffering with the black dog since October, so I understand

It has finally finally gone. Been smiling all week.

MaliA · **Posted:** Fri Feb 05, 2016 22:58

Good stuff. You're a recent sort so I wouldn't worry about romance not being around the corner.

KovacsC · **Posted:** Fri Feb 05, 2016 23:00

Just a few more hours in the office, then a quick drink with my colleagues, home for the last of my packing and then at 2am the driver arrives to get me out of here...so looking forward to finally coming home.

So yeah, 2nd date on Saturday. She is pretty amazing - we haven't stopped texting since Sunday. I'm very hopeful.

Half your age plus seven, then.

Twice my age minus seven would be... 67. That's ridiculous.

Half my age plus seven is 25, which is also ridiculous.

She's 24. 25 in May. So a couple of years older.

Half my age + 7 = 23.5.

Grim... · **Posted:** Wed Feb 17, 2016 14:06

67 is 40.5. You did your math in the wrong order - you need your age minus seven times two (58).

It's a maximum, not a target.

Wjat it actually is, of course, is nonsense.

No, I mean it wouldn't be weird if I were around that age, but having such a gap would mean that so many life experiences would be different.

I wouldn't have experience of so many important things in that person's life: rationing, the plague, which animals went on the ark in twos, and which in sevens...

Did all the fish just get to live, then? What about freshwater fish? Did they have fish tanks?

Cras · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 49232

Fish survived, yes. That's why there are so many evil fish, compared to other species.

Is it the previous or current woman that's 24?

Previous was only just 23. New one is 24, nearly 25.

Current. The previous was younger.
