Help me shift this depression.


Recommended Posts

Posted

As I'm sure many of you are aware I suffer from Manic-Depression/ Bi-Polar affective disorder.

 

I just can't seem to shift this depression. Post something that will make me smile, laugh or at the very least make me think. I have been away from work and university for a while and need something to cheer me up and get my mind ticking over.

 

Sorry if this is in the wrong section but I'm not sure where to put it.

 

I'm sick of feeling like this. :(:(

 

For those of you out there who think I should just cheer up, Want to swap ?

 

I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.

 

Hmmmmmmmm:(:(:(:(:(:(

Sorry you're feeling down and hope these cheer you up a bit, they certainly make me chortle.

 

The following are real extracts from actual complaint letters sent to various councils and housing associations throughout the UK. What a literate bunch we Brits truly are!

 

I want some repairs done to my cooker as it has backfired and burnt my knob off.

 

I wish to complain that my father hurt his ankle very badly when he put his foot in the hole in his back passage, and their 18 year old son is continually banging his balls against my fence.

 

I wish to report that tiles are missing from the outside toilet roof. I think it was bad wind the other night that blew them off.

 

My lavatory seat is cracked, where do I stand.

 

I am writing on behalf of my sink, which is coming away from the wall.

 

Will you please send someone to mend the garden path. My wife tripped and fell on it yesterday and now she is pregnant. We are getting married in September and we would like it in the garden before we move into the house.

 

I request permission to remove my drawers in the kitchen.

 

50% of the walls are damp, 50% have crumbling plaster and the rest are plain filthy.

 

I am still having problems with smoke in my new drawers.

 

The toilet is blocked and we cannot bath the children until it is cleared.

 

Will you please send a man to look at my water, it is a funny colour and not fit to drink.

 

Our lavatory seat is broken in half and is now in three pieces.

 

Would you please send a man to repair my spout. I am an old age pensioner and need it badly.

 

I want to complain about the farmer across the road; every morning at 6am his **** wakes me up, and its now getting too much for me.

 

The man next door has a large erection in the back garden, which is unsightly and dangerous.

 

Our kitchen floor is damp. We have two children and would like a third so please send someone round to do something about it.

 

I am a single woman living in a downstairs flat and would you please do something about the noise made by the man I have on top of me every night.

 

Please send a man with the right tool to finish the job and satisfy my wife.

 

I have had the clerk of the works down on the floor six times but I still have no satisfaction.

 

This is to let you know that our lavatory seat is broken and we can't get BBC2.

 

My bush is really overgrown round the front and my back passage has fungus growing in it,

 

... and he's got this huge tool that vibrates the whole house and I just can't take it anymore.

 

... that is his excuse for dogs mess that I find hard to swallow

Please say it made you chuckle Donuticus.

Donuticus for light humour may I suggest 'Jeeves and Wooster'?

 

Books or TV series are excellent - it's a world in which the worst that can possibly happen to someone is that they have to marry Honoria Glossop, and where Roderick Spode, leader of the Black Shorts, (no typo!!) can be sent packing by the utterance of the word 'Eulalie'. :)

Excellent choice! I watched a couple of the Fry and Laurie series recently, and they had me in tucks.

Dozy that's the funniest thing I've read for some time. Please tell me they were real! Where do they come from? :hihi:

 

Donuticus, you know I've been there and I care. I'm so sorry that you're still in the trough. And please don't feel isolated (which you mentioned in another post) when you have the SF misery club at your fingertips. ;) There's always someone here. :)

 

My contribution to exercise your chuckle muscles is The Framley Examiner. It's completely silly and never fails to make me giggle.

 

I really hope you come back up soon. You have before and you will again. Take care.
