Hi

im new on this forum,i've been quite depressed today and was looking round the net for anything to do with carers,im 28 been lookin after my ma for 6 years she had a brain haemorrage and i was only person who could stop her from being put in a care home,i wouldnt of let that happen for various reasons,but increasingly of late i just can't stop being depressed about my future and dont feel i can talk about it with any1,i also think people are very presumptious about carers its all jus gettin me down basically dont really know what i expect from this forum but anyways thats how i feel today.

i not really sure how to get around the site yet ive just been reading a few things so far,i've got to be honest i never really liked the idea of talking about anything to do with caring and never liked the idea of groups and the like until recently,it just feels like if u help people out sometimes(not my mother) family in general they say and do all the right things then eventually dont wanna know anymore,i gotta admit i just feel like gettin all off my chest today.

So...shoot, let it all hang out.. where are you from in Scotland?
I'm in Kilsyth. And I have two tickets to the big UEFA match at Ibrox on Thursday for me and my boy, so I am in tru blue heaven. What team do you support, if any? Or if you are in the tiny minority who don't follow follow follow the 90 minute wonders - well what else do you enjoy ?
