Omg! The acute care team rang my exT told my gp that I sent him suicidal texts. I didn't I just said goodbye and I wasn't going to try therapy in text he rang and I sent a text saying if I was three was nothing anyone could do about it. But I never said I was sui. The team now think I am.

But you can see how he might have thought that, right? Maybe stop texting him. If he were still your therapist he might talk to you before doing anything, but he’s no longer under that obligation. Expect him to misinterpret anything he can misinterpret just to cover his posterior.

I have stopped texting him not since last week. I hadn't looked at it that way. I have no intention of texting him any more. Thanks.

Must remember not use sarcasm or humour of any kind in intake interview.

I was right to be worried. The idiot banker very nearly scuppered the whole deal. Fortunately, our lawyer went over her head and saved the day.

I think the messages can be interpreted differently. I agree with @@ he is just doing whatever he can to just protect himself now.

I'm glad your lawyer was able to save the day.

I do see how saying goodbye and that you're not going to try therapy could be seen as your giving up on life. But he's definitely just trying to cover himself. Hope you can convince the team that you're not.

At least where I am any attempt at humor is taken waaaaaay out of context. I got myself in BIG trouble because of my joking and sarcasm... and it wasn’t even around mental health! Even worse if you are smarter than they are and they miss it!

I decided to come home early, and got back last night. I am feeling a little bit better.

For the last eight years, Game of Thrones has taken the world by storm. The fantasy TV series, adapted from George R. R. Martin’s ‘A Song of Ice and Fire’ novels, has gained a loyal fanbase around the globe. To say the TV programme is one of the most popular of our time is no exaggeration.

The finale of the show was always going to leave fans distraught after eight years of enjoyment, so we’ve launched a specialised Game of Thrones counselling service to help bereft fans seek support and get the help they need through this tough time.

Fans can speak to qualified counsellors (who are familiar with the series) to discuss plot twists and storylines. The professionals will help them digest their feelings and interpretation of the show, which could range from anger and confusion to sadness and grief. Most importantly the counsellors will be on hand to guide fans on how to move on after almost a decade of fandom.

The Game of Thrones counsellors are available via Skype, and will charge £20 for a 30 minute session and £40 for an hour session. Fans can book as many sessions as they see fit with their chosen counsellor.

I have never watched even one second of that show, thank goodness.

Welcome to the couch grannies!

Google two words Una: Jon snow. But I liked Robb Stark the most.

I only got into it after 6 seasons had already been filmed and mainly after watching a youtube documentary on King henry the 7th. So a trailer came up on the side.

My goal is too watch less shows after (Dark obviously).

$40,250 is the starting price for the BMW.

Is he even working at the moment?

It's not all about him, and you do also have a choice..

Any item over £500 would have to be discussed for me.

I simply cannot fathom $40,000 for a CAR. I would have to be able to live in it comfortably and it would have to drive itself (because I would be afraid to drive it) and serve me a hot breakfast too. Just for comparison we paid less than that ($38,000) for the 1200 sq ft manufactured home that we lived in prior to current house.

ChickenNoodleSoup · May 20, 2019, 10:23 AM

The cool thing about a tesla is it MIGHT be able to drive itself in a year. But you should be able to have that sort of money to spend on something, which first means having a roof over your head, having a job, food, all that. I'm sorry your husband is so inconsiderate, Scarlet.

Hugs going out to everyone who's not doing great.
