| Hi, I've been in a relationship for a pretty long time and I just can't do it anymore. I hate it. My depression is terrible, I'm made to feel like he is constantly having to make concessions to put up with me and I feel so worthless. I want to end it, but how do I do this without looking ungrateful ... |

He's going to be moving from his parents' place on the south coast of England, up to Manchester. Does anyone know of any support o... |

| Hi, Wanted to see if anyone could relate to this as it's a huge issue for my hypersensitive hearing, even if I wear ear plugs. Would be good to know I'm not alone, especially as some people are just plain mean about it, and it's not like I go around demanding all hand dryers should be banned or anyt... |

| Hi, I have a diagnosis of ME/CFS although I was recovering from PTSD at the time. The CFS is better now that I'm over the worst of PTSD, but it certainly isn't gone. It's interesting you mention adrenal issues. I do have issues with regulating adrenaline (which isn't quite the same as an actual glan... |

I'm only part time verbal anyway (I experience episodes of involuntary mutism) and although the speech therapy helped a lot, it is still di... |

| I'm told I speak quickly too. I had to have speech therapy as I spoke so quickly that I stumbled over my words when I was trying to speak. I speak more slowly now than I did prior to therapy, but I'm still often told that I speak more quickly than most other people do. It doesn't bother me though. W... |

| I certainly think that if someone spreads HIV wilfully and knowingly they should be prosecuted. If someone genuinely doesn't know they have HIV, and has not had any symptoms to indicate it (although the symptoms are not that clear cut anyway!) then I don't see how one could justify saying it is murd... |

Thanks for clarifying that demeus.
It is pretty depressing that many organisations' priority now is 'what can we do to not get sued' rather than 'how can we offer the best service'. |
