About Me - GAD123

Belfast, N.I., United Kingdom
I first got on the net over 15 (2009) years ago and have had my own site for at least 7 (2009) of those years (a place where I could dump the misery of my everyday life!), you can see my fist efforts @ www.freewebs.com/gad123 and my current blog @ www.gad123.co.uk . I am a kind person, smart, (I know that is subjective) and witty, the dry, sarcastic type! I am told that I am easy to talk to and am very laid back. I enjoy playing poker, listening to any music, watching movies & American TV shows, love going to the pub, dancing on a Saturday night and am a bit of a nerd as I own a Wii, PS3 and built my own PC! I am a creature of routine, love the night time when all the exciting things happen, am a bit of an insomniac and love getting trashed at the weekends! If you want, you can catch me on MSN @ graham@gad123.co.uk! Take care and enjoy you browse around this GAD123 Page!

Spending Money Is Depressing...

I was supposed to post this yesterday but never mind, reading through it and my last posts I think we could do with some fun here but anyway;

God bloody Monday again, how depressing?! How many times have we heard that? It does not really mean that you are depressed, it's an off the cuff every day phrase, right? I am not so sure. It might just be me - please someone correct me on this because I am just talking from my own, recent experience and I am not belittling anyone who is suffering as it must be a complete mare to deal with - but is everyone depressed? Maybe I should quantify that, why are most of the ladies I come in to contact with depressed? Seriously I know so many that have been diagnosed by their Doctor as being depressed. Why is that? I mean I can think of like 1 guy, compared with like 50% of the women I know! Is it the pressures of being a modern women in the naughties? Which is funny, because YOU feminists asked for this, career, kids, home maker, whatever! Is it the Doctor / Patient relationship? A loss of coping skills? The weather?

Maybe more men feel this way but just don't speak about it, we have all seen those TV Ads aimed mainly at men with the tag line "Look after your mental health"! Is it better to suffer in silence? Is it that MORE women really suffer with this disease or is it just that I find myself friends with them? I am really just thinking allowed here but I have two questions that I would like answered. The first is how come I rarely heard about it 10 years ago and now it seems like it's everywhere? The second is why do so many women seem to suffer from this condition? I bet if I visited my Doc today and explained that I don't sleep, spent the whole weekend in my house alone, getting trashed, stuffing myself with junk food and can't be bothered going to work on a Monday morning that I too would be found to have a mental illness! Obviously I would fail to mention that I actually had quite a nice weekend and was happy to do that!

The reason I mention all that today is the uncertain time that I face. I have been talking about it for years and now it's fast approaching, some people will know what that is and some will not but it's coming and I will need to make life changing decisions and I just don't know what to do. I like the status quo and find the whole thing very depressing saddening!

Contrary to the above, thinking about my future, needing to be careful with money and that, I bought a Play Station 3 but I will talk about that more when it arrives! I can justify this purchase all I want (It was a VERY good deal) but on top of holidays, entertaining visitors, etc I am spending a lot of cash. Obviously being single again, not doing restaurants, pub, clubbing, dates, presents, etc is saving a fortune but I NEED to reel it in a bit before I am officially skint!
