so, hows 2006 ben for you all?

[Superphil]

It's amazing how people pour their hearts out on NSC, and the support offered by posters on here is exemplary.

We hear about sadness, illnesses, redundancies and relationship problems, and we are able to offer condolances, suggestions, comfort and ideas without judgement.

I wish everyone who's had a bad year the very best for next year, and those of us who've had it good will be thinking of all of you.

I think I put that how I meant to,

Merry Christmas, here's to a better 2007.

The absolute worst year of my life

We lost our beautiful daughter and while we have had a new baby since then our home and our family will never be the same. I just hope, that while the hurt never goes away it gets a little easier to deal with because I am not sure I can deal with any more years like this.

Here's to next year...

Not that i have any idea how you must have felt starry but they do say time is a great healer. I'm also not a particularly religious person but im sure your gorgeous little girl is looking down from heaven thinking how perfect her family made her life whilst she was with you

It's been, the odd blip aside, very very good.

Got a bit ill during february with a horrible case of flu(directly after the coventry away game) which made me feel rank for a few weeks.

after that however things picked up, i began to get paid for my football writing allowing me more visits to the pub without fearing waking up late(afterall, i could write articles any time).

spent most of the summer scattered across pubs in brighton.

did well in my a-levels and got accepted to uni.

uni has been a challenge so far, as London is a manic manic place. I do like it there but it's hard to adjust from one social group to another, especially if you were the leader of one.

first few days were such a headtrip, not having a routine or whatever.

19th birthday was mental, totally mental. first time i'd seen all my friends since leaving for uni, then trying to fit 9 of them in my uni room(hehehe).

I only have one regret, I never asked out the barmaid at the albert.

still...there's always time for that one.

Not the best of years to be honest, but when you read this thread and the one started by Dave yesterday, it puts things in context.Thinking of you Starry.

About 7/10 - got diagnosed with depression, which has helped me treat it. Started a new course, which i absolutely love, but it took me until september before i got accepted into it.

a friend of mine got diagnoised with depression earlier this year, he got prescribed prozac and it made him a lot worse. Luckily the doctor found something to suit him and he's 100% now. Are you better now laura?

Yeah, i am better than when i reached my ultimate low about 6 months ago now. Don't feel fully cured, and still have really nasty moments, but im getting there, thanks

 

[itszamora]

Pretty average here really, nothing awful's happened, but then again, nothing inspiringly great has either.

Here's to 2007

 

[Beach Hut]

keep up the fight.

i admire anyone who can survive all the cliches of "keep your chin up" and "pull yourself together"

We were thinking about you earlier today and wondering how on earth you managed to keep going through everything at the start of this year. It is difficult to imagine how you got your lives going again. We are glad you did.

Anyone who doubts whether or not an Internet messageboard can be anything other than a excuse to post rubbish from behind the protection of a keyboard should take a few minuets to look at the stuff posted after Anastasia died.

RIP Anastasia - you are in our thoughts

Here's to next year

 

[m20gull]

Mixed.

I was proposed to on St Valentine's Day and married in May.

We have spent all year until Tuesday with one of her boys on bail for something he just plainly did not do. Discharged not guilty this week, at last.

Mother-in-law died suddenly in September; it would be her birthday on Christmas Eve. I took the funeral and it was the hardest thing I have ever faced but also one of the most satsifying - she was a lovely friend.

Sister finally separated from her alcoholic husband and found a new boyfriend.

Wife off work for three months with depression following over-work the loss of her mother and the threat of the court case.

Apart from that it's been OK.

 

[Frutos]

My 2006 has been infinitely better than my 2005 was (not hard, given that 2005 was by far and away the shittiest year of my life), which is more than good enough for me.

 

[rospants]

my whinges and moans seem liked nothing compared to what a lot of you have been through

Time is a good healer Starry, Although you never get over the hurt of losing a child you do learn to live and deal with it. 12 years ago yesterday my sister lost her eldest son in a car crash and it devestated the whole family and I did'nt think my sister would ever come to terms with it, But over a period she did learn to deal with it as we all did. My nephew will never be forgotten by any of us and even all these years later I still get a tear in my eye and a lump in my throat when I hear E17 "Stay another day" playing on the radio ( It was played at his funeral ) But like I said time does help to heal.
