You're all kinder than I deserve. Remember no-one held a gun to my head re these debts. I just let utility bills bounce while going "La, la, la" with my hands over my ears. You put me to shame with your kindness.
Limey I'm scared at how I really considered suicide as an option. But glad that even when I believed the dose I had in my room was fatal, it still remained in its blister packs. Perhaps it's true that some people are born without the ability to act on the urges.

I will, yes. But that doesn't worry me. My main reason for waiting til November is that I am officially signed off until then and my GP said he does not expect me to work before that - and perhaps not even then. We had a double length appointment the first time I saw him, and he said due to my history he would prefer me to take things slowly.
Hence trying to get group work (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) and wanting to volunteer at the charity shop. Which reminds me I forgot to ask him about that today (he needs to sign me off as capable of work before I can volunteer). I may send a letter to the practice - I think he'd take a leave of absence if he saw me on his patient list any time soon.
