I'm still struggling with depression over many things and staying in bed alot. However I have started going to my kung fu class again and eating slightly better, so I feel like I'm slowly climbing out of the pit. The main title of my blog is a bit misleading as there are very few crazy things happening in my life at the moment! At some point I will try and put down some of the interesting experiences I have had within the mental health system and elsewhere, but not today because I just don't feel up to it.
I hope everyone outhere is feeling o.k. but if not I hope you feel better soon. I have ordered a lap-top from the internet so I should be able to blog more often. At the moment I am dependent on my good friend Gary, who kindly lets me use his computer.
I'm very worried about my mum at the moment; she has progressive myopia and has been told that her condition is deteriorating. I can't imagine what she must be going through, as I know she is terrified of the possibility that she may be going blind. I feel really powerless to help her and its a nasty feeling! Anyway that's enough good news for one blog! Take care everyone and I look forward to blogging again soon on my new computer!

Hya simon,
slowly but surely & onwards and upwards.
I think its really good that you've started kung fu again, if nothing else i should imagine that it would be a laugh & i reckon being active and getting fit is conducive to good mental health.
great to hear you've bought a laptop too, access to the world and all its information is at the tips of ya fingers!
i'm really sorry to hear about your mother, i don't know what progressive mytopia is, but its such a harsh thought the thought of loosing sight. my nan has something wrong with her eye's to do with diabetes, which builds pressure up, they leak something or other & basically its an awful process of doctors prodding around at them, that she has to go through quite a lot. i cannot begin to think how it must feel to be faced with that reality.
i think all that you can do is be there for her, and be as supportive as you can. Take care of yourself though, because the stronger you are the more supportive you can be.
take care simon, keep on keeping on!
i'll look forward to reading your next post!

Hiya Si,
Glad to hear that things are looking fresher for you.
Sorry to hear about your mum, my mum had an op yesterday and you do worry about them - that's what she says about me too :-)

Hey Simon-
Sorry buddy for taking so long to comment on your blog. As we discussed when you put up your posting, it can be most difficult to find the right words to type.
Sometimes, as we realise, lack of comments means that folks are touched by the blog but are at a loss for words. I fall into that category.
So all I can say is this. I sense your despair for your Mother. This is such a difficult time for her and your entire family. I know it is little consolation, but it does make your family unit even more unified. You know your love and support for your Mother gives her some solace in this heart-wrenching situation. My thoughts are with your Mother and your entire family.
Keep challenging your negative environment Simon. Dare to believe you have the right to be happy. You have loads of support from kind, decent people. Embrace this Simon. Grab that positivity you so richly deserve.
Warm regards Gary.
Hi Simon,
It's really good to see you bloggling again and it was great to see you last week. You're looking good! Very glad to hear that things are on the up for you, particularly that you're back doing the old kung fu! Sorry to hear about your mum though mate. Just the idea of losing your sight is difficult to imagine.
Come and see us soon, we'll have a cuppa and sort Stairway to hell! :-/ (not sure if anyone else will appreciate it, but it sounds like bloody good fun!)
take care my friend.
Mx
