Sorry mate another point you know I will get a reduced pension. £127 week. I still have a year and a bit to work or I will loose my £850 a month wage. That will mean no holidays for us. Cheers
Didn't I say I was only joking on that thread? You have deep rooted issues on the matter which you'll agree with, fair enough mate. For me hearing anyone say mental health isn't a direct killer is so far from the truth because I've witnessed it, not only that it's a significant contributor to young lives lost in my country. I've got no issues with you Terry.
I agree with you about illiteracy . . . . it's a major problem with me, and it's partly because people can't be bothered to talk/write properly and others can't be bothered to teach people how to I've thought about starting a thread about this, but I don't think that it would go down very well I'm already thought of as being a pedantic ****, and doing so would make opinions about me even worse
Can you wait till im pissed before doing that thread. Me, my phone and alxohol are a great match for spelling threads. I set the bar so low everyone looks really clever.

Simple mate. Get the DWP to ask the specialists. They ask them at any point. Most they ask is a GP at apeal stage. GP are easy to blag. Specialists are not. I've got no support mate. Don't can't even get therapies because it's underfunded and there more serious cases who are on waiting list that can take years.
See here's where this thread will get close to the bone. You're looking at this purely subjectively, based on what you think... here me out. My dad had severe depression and a gambling addiction and he killed himself. You look at that sentence and you identify the red part as the killer and I identify the blue part as the killer (I'm colour blind if I've got either of those wrong). The fact is, both lead to the death of the person, but without the (direct) blue bit, my dad would possibly still be alive. Without the (indirect) red bit, the man is still dead 100% of the time. That's the only way I can explain it, sorry if it seems a bit patronising.
Start the bloody thread, Gordon. If you're passionate about it, some people might 'listen'. I think it's worth pointing out though that this is a message board, not everybody will put the same attention to detail into this site, as they would a job application or an essay, for example. I try to be as clear and concise as possible on here, because I can't afford to get lazy with my writing as I'm often drawing up proposals and contracts for work, so I just tend to stay in the habit of trying my best. Others use phones, tablets, fat fingers... you know how it is.
The cemeteries are chock full of people who had mental illness & depression. It's a sad state of affairs when the government don't recognise this.
Can I just clarify Billy, I'm not a heartless bastard who thinks mental illness doesn't lead to people dying. The only reason I brought it up, is because of the way pharmaceutical companies look at it.
Sorry to here that fella. How long have you known about what happened to your dad fella? Costochondritis combined with Anxiety, depression, Your da killed himself. All those things happened to Georgie mate. Have you discussed BPD with your doctor? You mirror my lady's symptoms and life events.
Terrys right. Depression is an indirect killer, not direct. It's the actions of depression that contribute to people self harming, not the illness.
I know. Things are reclassified all the time as Brian has said. I wonder how many of those men that were shot for desertion in WW1 would now be diagnosed with PTSD?
Nowt wrong with a man having high standards Gordon Apologies about the "nowt". Local colloquiallism don't you know.
My mum told me when I was 16, funny story actually... He died when I was two, but she told me he died when I was 6 shortly after my granddad died, she realised I could deal with 'death' at that age. What she told me aged 6 was that he died of a heart attack. Fast forward 10 years and I'm having a medical (part of the Armed Forces thing) in Guy's Hospital in London, at the specialist heart unit, to see if the condition is ****ing hereditary I get back home off the train and my mum tells me he killed himself and I just wasted a full day going to London, to get some specialist to tell me my heart is in tip top shape I use him as a barrier in my life, to stop me going to the lengths he went to, to 'solve' his problems. I've seen first hand the destruction he caused the family and I could never do that to my family. I sort of use that to tell myself he didn't die in vain. He dug me out of some dark places in his own way. It's really easy for me to talk about it because I never knew him, we never bonded.
