    About Me

    Hi, my name is Emma and i live in leeds with my boyfriend of 4 years. I work part time in leeds centre at a stockbroker. I recently had 6 month of due to severe depression. I see a councillor most weeks, a nd i'm on anti depressents and sleeping tablets. I'm tired of not feeling like myself, fed up of not sleeping right, because i cant take the sleeping tablets when i have work the following day. I just want to get back to being they old Emma-Lou, any advice is much appreciated, anything that can g et me out of this cold dark hole i seem to be stuck in. Anything you want to ask me? Go ahead!

      From TunaMan January 14

      I wrote this poem several years ago and hope that you will enjoy it and that it may give comfort and reassurance into the meaning of life. It goes as follows: LIFE'S JOURNEY I pray that God will bless you At the start of each new day And grant you health and happiness And friends to share your way As you journey through this life To reach that Ultimate Goal May you find peace and happiness Deap within your soul The road is long and narrow Full of trials and sufferings too But you must continually endure it As the appropriate thing to do Each of us has a tunnel Either filled with thorns or roses We must travel through the thorny tunnel To achieve heaven and the roses.
