I can, must be at your end?

And the whole BPS crew praying that Michael Sharpe doesn't go on twitter.

This slightly concerns me. ME is often wrongly diagnosed as depression, and one of the ways it can be distinguished from depression is that if you ask a depressed person what they would do if they weren't depressed, they'd struggle to come up with much or find any motivation, whereas an ME...

That line is starting to look like a bit of ubiquitous fluff which Drs, therapists and anyone else who reads it skims over on their way to get to the meat of whatever it is they're reading. "Yeah yeah, but where does it say what I actually have to do ...". I certainly glaze over whenever I read...

Even "experts" have been on that list.

If the SMC put out their usual spin this time, every MP who was in the chamber or watches the debate will clearly see them for what they are. The SMC will probably continue until they are calling everyone else in the world a liar, but the number of people involved and likely to think "Hang on a...

At my self-help group we regularly have new members who want to know how to continue to work, how to get better and be able to do more. It's what we all wanted at the beginning. Being confronted by the hard facts of this illness (it's not going to get better and you need to cut down your...
