Hi @Zoe7 and All,

I had a meal break to eat some insects....ok you guys are way smarter than me! 

I will concede defeat if you can answer this: How many species of frog are there in Australia?

And my Kelpie is doing well thanks - not dropping so much hair from stress. So that's a good sign 🙂

Frog & Dog

Hi @frogdog 🙂

Re: Am Not Coping

@Former-Member 4740 + 1(that would be you)

Re: Am Not Coping

Ok @Former-Member scrap that last answer - that is in the world 

In Australia - don't know - Google won't give me an easy answer - can't be bothered looking it up when I'm sure you already know!!! What's the answer?

... and we still won!!!!!!!!

Re: Am Not Coping

216

sez one site

but there is only ONE @Former-Member

Re: Am Not Coping

So true @Appleblossom - and thank goodness that one @Former-Member is with us here Smiley Happy

Is that the correct answer @Former-Member?

Re: Am Not Coping

@Former-Member - the answer is less than you think. With the logging in my mountains - more and more are becoming extinct. Oops. That was a bit of a downer.
@Zoe7 - I did see @Appleblossom try and refine us a little with some fella called Shakespeare. Don't think it will work with me tonight.
The article was titled:
Mental illness is caused by misery .... so why is there still a stigma?
Something like that.
After reading what this idiot loony psychiatrist wrote about me after an hr visit - & saying it is genetic - when there is no family history. This article hit a positive nerve.
Lets say I do have Bipolar II like he says. Rather than say it's due to my genes - why can't he say - what is blooming obvious to me - is that it's cause is likely due to the environment I grew up in & what I went through living with a violet and emotionally unstable dad. Bloody idiot Psychiatrist.
I'm going to send a copy of this report to my old psychiatrist from last year and see what he has to say about it.

Re: Am Not Coping

@utopia I had no idea about your father - so sorry you had to deal with that too.

I think that psychiatrist is 'looney' - how can they possibly make a 'diagnosis' after seeing you for only an hour - shite - I'd be labelled with all kinds of things - depending on the day and the time.
