This is kind of cool. Like screaming in the dark, you don't know if you'll be heard, but it does make you feel better. Anyway, I seem to be going through a rough patch at the moment. My partner has turned into the menopausal woman from HELL and, no matter how carefully I tread, I always seem to upset her or annoy her. I'm starting to wonder whether it is all worth it. My job (which I love) has reached one of those points where there isn't really anything substantial to do, so I just potter around withthe system and wait for something to really get my teeth in to. The trouble with that is that it makes the time go so slowly. What else? Oh yeah, spec on the bit of outside design work I have been doing for the last year seems to be gradually extending. I'm sick of it now and I just want it to stop! OK, so I will get payed for all the extra work, but, really, I've had enough now.
Ok, so I guess I'm lucky compared to some and I shouldn't complain, but some days I just feel like I could scream and never stop.
Could write more about my relationship, my painkiller addiction, my dire financial state, &c, but I think I've taken up enough room (for now).

It does go away, and a Doctor can help. Good Luck!
