nope

Nope.

No. It's a bit like me and the doctor - I've always been brought up to think I don't need to go and that I'd just be cluttering it up for people who need it more than me!

I phone NHS direct once because I had a very strange mark some where after an operation that shouldn't have been there, I thought it was just a bruise but rather than waste resources I phoned them and they said they thought it was a bruise as well, it went in the end.

What about those helplines on the end of all the soaps? Like "If you've had sex with your boyfriends brother and become pregnant because you wanted him to think it was his after you told him it was his because he loved his adopted sister then ring this number" :rolleyes:

Yep. Although thinking about it now I don't really feel I needed to. But at the time it felt pretty serious.

There's been times where I really wanted to. But I just fold up the feeling into a tiny box, and bottle it up deep inside my heart, only for one day to suddenly erupt with anger and hatred.

If i did that, i would have to move out because the boxes would take up too much space :rolleyes:

Yes and every single one has been a patronsing lump of poo. Possibly the most ineffective way to deal with problems. I'm with the box idea, but then again, I take drugs for that.
