The common or garden GP/general practitioner (not sure what you call 'em in the states) is usually adept at diagnosing and prescribing for depression. They're the ones that write referrals to the specialists after all (here anyway). Some people I know with mild/moderate depression have their GP prescribe and manage their illness without ever sending them to a psychiatrist.

I'm consigning myself to Hell. I don't know why because I'm already there. I've just turned down a job. It pays 2000 more than I'm on, it's in a nice location with some lovely people. It's a relaxed atmosphere, it wouldn't be too demanding.And I've turned it down on the grounds that I'd be bored. That I wouldn't learn anything, get any marketable skills, that there's no career development. That it's a very small company with little contact with the outside world and it would be claustrophobic. First interview, second interview, meet the team, get referees to write in, even plan my farewell speech. Two and a half years spent trying to get out of my current job and get the money to move out of my current flat. Nights of black despair, days spent wishing I was dead. And I just throw it away when I'm offered it. As if these things grow on trees. And I have another interview on Monday somewhere else. Will I, won't I, do I want to, what if, yes but. Here we go again.

I'll second that, Alexis, Last year about htis time I had a wedding in my church. The mother of the bride (MOB) could not understand (in spite of numerous attemts to explain) why we had to have those "hiddeous" purple paraments and purple candles on the advent wreath. "But it's a _Christmas_ wedding!" She tried to tell me. "We are still in _ADVENT_", I tried to explain, to little avail. She wanted EVERYTHING in red and white. It all looked much more appropriate for Valentine's Day than Christmas. (Don't get me started about the three foot tall fiberoptic angel she wanted to put on top of the pulpit )

TICTH up-their-own-arse students who use non-standard notation in their answers to problem sheets and who write REALLY small and make marking so DAMN ANNOYING (especially late at night when you've been doing it all day). And I bet he's going to get stroppy in the class tomorrow because there's lots of green-ink scribbles on his paper.

TICTH - Microsoft, in all its glory - despite the fact that I am currently using IE.Why? I exported a file as text for the specific reason that I wanted to import it into Excel. By the time it got to Excel having been in transit from one computer to another, Microsoft has inexplicably turned it into a web page, which excel then couldn't find any columns in. Hence necessitating making whole new text files. Several times, since I had several data sets. Grrr. Rachel.

TICTH the DHSS.I have been unemployed for 3 months and I'm starting my own business (first day of trading:7th Jan). You'd think that the job centre would greet such a spirit of entrepeneurialism (sp?!) with cries of unadulterated joy. Hah!! It would seem that becoming a self-employed tax-paying member of society is, in fact, a VERY BAD THING. I'm supposed to take a sh***y, badly-paid, cleaning job instead, because that's "a proper job". Because I'm a naughty girl for saying no, they're threatening to withdraw my benefit payments. Just in time for Christmas. What is the point of trying to make something of yourself when the benefits system has been (deliberately) DESIGNED to squash your dreams and thwart you at every turn?? Bongo (seething!)

TICTH British Midland Airlines, or whatever they've renamed themselves recently . Not only to they change the first leg of my outward bound flight and increase the change-overtime by 3 hours and subsequently force me to arrive to check in at Edinburgh at 4.30 AM on a Saturday .... they decide that it would be fun to do that on the way back too. So now I have about 5 hours in between changing planes at Manchester Airport next Saturday, from 05:50 till about 10:30. What am I supposed to do in that time? Sleep would be greta, but have you ever noticed that there aren't enought benches to lie on, or if you're lucky enough to get one, that they're designed at just the right angle to make you fall on to the floor when you're just drifting off!!!

Why there is an Angel/Fairy on the top of the Christmas Tree
It was christmas eve, Santa was not a happy bunny. The elves had been on strike for higher pay and better conditions (the workshop was too cold, apparently, the chief negotiator wanted to move the whole shooting match from the North Pole to Mustique). Santa himself was just coming down with a cold and was convinced that it was going to turn into 'flu.
Mrs Claus had just announced that her mother was arriving on Boxing Day to stay....permanently. Rudolf had also announced that the reindeer had an outbreak of foot and mouth disease and he wasn't sure that he could raise a full eight to pull the sleigh. At this moment the doorbell rang, it was the Christmas Fairy(/Angel) "Santa," she cried, "I've got your Christmas Tree, where shall I put it?" ............

TITCH the practice of at least one clergyman (notice I am not consigning the clergyman) of a highly irregular sect of our fundamentalist brethren. He makes fun during his church service of those churches that do not permit older children to dance in or run up and down the aisles during church and who have "music that would put wild animals to sleep." All this in front of my impressionable 11 year old daughter, who regularly attends a moderately high Episcopal church. I really didn't need this, and I don't think she did either.

TICTH bad religious art, and I ESPECIALLY consign TH bad modifications to good religious art.
True story - worth a chuckle perhaps.
At my former RC parish there is a large and quite beautiful statue of the Risen Christ (truly GOOD art). A very conservative member of the parish convinced the pastor that the statue should be decorated for Christ the King Sunday. So the folk were treated to a vision of the statue draped in gold lame and crowned with a (I kid you NOT!) Burger King paper crown spray painted gold and sprinkled with gold glitter.
It makes me VERY glad I've moved over to the EC.

I'm not particularly consigning anyone or anything to Hell, but I'm writing on this thread because I seem to live here. [Hello Carmel, I see you have moved in]I went to the charismatic evangelical church I occasionally visit - all went well until the intercessions when 3 young, healthy (teen) men stood up and prayed. I think I am speaking with Holy Spirit discernment when I say that the first 2 were clanging cymbals and show ponies. I wondered how much struggle and life experience they'd had. There was the usual high density 'Father Gods' and the stream of enthusiastic hackneyed prayer talk which says nothing, then they spent a good 10 minutes praying against homosexual law reform. The whole of it. I wonder if they even knew what was in it. Including equal opportunity, funereal rights, next-of-kin, nearest relative. (Thank goodness for the last young man who prayed humbly on behalf of the whole world) It was not so much prayer against homosexual law reform but against homosexuals. The first young man declared vehemently 'WE CHOOSE LIFE', as if being homosexual is choosing death. Wood: there is a worse thing for an evangelical than to be considered a liberal... that is, that one is going straight to Hell. I left straight after the intercessions and went home and cried. Shoulda stayed with the tat. Even if I do not hear enough that I am saved by grace through the atoning blood of Jesus in his sacrifice on the cross in my stead, the perfect oblation made once and for all for the sins of the whole world. ;~~(~

not really consigning this to hell, but the stories about tacky religious art remind me of the psychedlic statue of Mary that my husband's grandmother was given as a present in the sixties...she couldn't bear to have it in her home, but wasn't sure how to "dispose" of it...didn't seem quite right to toss it out in the trash...she put it in a paper bag and visited the local convent, placed it in a corner when nobody was watching (ha!), and just knew the nuns would know what to do with it.

TICTH Electronic muzak (or any other sort of music) played by the "worship group" (sic) as a background during the prayers of intercession. God does not require our prayers to be prettied up for Him, the congregation generally found it a distraction (except for the hard of hearing, for whom it was the only thing they could hear during the prayers) and the person reading the prayers said afterwards that it was a struggle for her not to start trying to sing them, in tune to the musak. What will be the next thing that gets a musical accompaniment? Any suggesttions of suitable tunes to go with the Euchaistic prayer, anyone. And the day started so well, with a nice quiet 1662 BCP HC service. Just when I thought it was safe to go back to the church, Family Worship happened. Enought to make me consider joining the Quakers.

Come back soon. Unfortunately I've just realised that I am on the rota to read the prayers at the next Family Service.  My plan is this...
Server announces prayers. I walk to lectern as Worship Group start their "tinkly tinkly, this is what heaven sounds like" muzak. I say "Let us begin our prayers with a period of silent reflection. Collapse of stout party.
It could work.

TICTH my fiance's ex-wife who is refusing to let him speak to the children on the phone. And she is threatening to never let him see them again despite court orders giving him extensive access.
She is trying to brainwash the children into hating their dad whilst we have never been anything but nice about her in front of the children.
