i encourage you all to join me for some casual drinking, social lubrication and light laughter right here in the beer garden.
Oh and before anyone gets up in arms about alcohol and its dangers the main beer on tap is VB or virtual beer
beer is the third most commonly consumed drink in the world behind water and tea
why not share the worlds joy with friends

Thank you @Faith-and-Hope, I might do a forum search and read more about it. From what I've read there are varying degrees, I think my experience is reasonably mild, compared to some things I've read, I've kind of just learnt to accept it.
I can see that is a very difficult challenge for a carer. I know it's very difficult for those around me at times.
You'd be surprised at the things that I didn't realise were symptoms of anything, or the impact on those who care for me. It has been difficult for me too, I had been diagnosed with depression, but I'm pretty certain now it's something else, although I don't have a diagnosis yet, so not sure I should say what, at least I'm positive that I have a better way to explain myself now.

Hi @Former-Member, I can't remember how long, I haven't been on here very often. Not bad that you're not bad. A little gardening, some reading, more writing, and even more thinking, happening in my world. And yours?
