Well now you know you can face the truth instead of guessing and worrying that it is something else . I sincerely hope the meds help and that you respond to the talk therapy . Good luck .

Absolutely. Getting to know how and why mental issues can occur makes it 100% easier to deal with them. Cos frankly, in ignorance, it can be terrifying. I was always puzzled why mental health could be addressed with meds, but once I learnt about it, I understood. And once you get to that, you will have a decent chance to learn to deal with it, meds free.

When my aunt and uncle were first married they bought a Siamese cat, paid the earth for it from what I can remember because of its breeding, champion parents and all that. It was treated like royalty and never allowed out for fear of it running into the road. They lived with my grandparents and whenever I visited I had to take it out for a walk on a lead, hoping against hope that no one would see me, must have been about 11 at the time. It escaped once and I got the job of getting it before it left the garden, I picked it up and the damn thing bit my face. I hated that cat and have been wary of cats ever since. When it was about 2 years old it developed a white patch near its nose - it wasn’t a pedigree after all! Although they tried my aunt and uncle never got a refund.

So I found out more about the bullying of my grandson. Apparently 2 girls and a boy have been taunting him saying he’s gay. It has been going on for months and months. He told a teacher first who arranged a meeting (not sure what that entails) but it‘s part of the school’s anti bullying programme. This made no difference and he’s been suffering taunts and name calling until became too much, was too scared to go to school and told his parents what was going on. He may be gay, who knows, he’s only 13 but who cares if he is? Well those little toe rags at school do apparently. His parents took him and his sister to the Pride March in London on Saturday hoping that it might help by showing them that it really doesn’t matter whether you are, whether you aren’t just be proud of what you are. They had a good time, saw lots of famous faces and one of the marchers left the parade to present them each with a flag and a rainbow umbrella hat. He was still a reluctant to go to school this morning but two friends met him at the gate and walked in with him.
Poor little lad. Hope things improve for him.
Wow. I think if I was in your position T I would be pleased to have a formal.diagnosis and have a plan to deal with your condition. Good luck mate.I used to watch that cat prgram on discovery where he'd help with problem cats, can't remember what it's called and bengals are no good as house cats and no good if you're out all day, they need a lot of stimulation, so good luck with that lol lol

Little gits. I wonder if the meeting was some attempt at mediation. Never works in my opinion ininstances of bullying. There's always too much of a power imbalance between one side and the other. Glad they enjoyed the Pride march in London. And as you say, who cares if he is gay? The school need to take a long hard look at their policy. If he told someone and it continued for months afterwards then what were they doing to monitor the situation. Poor lad. Hope he's feeling a bit better about the whole thing.
As others have said ,what does it matter in the long term ,tell him to just look at the people he sees on tv who were probably marching .
It is one of the hardest things to be bullied ,I was but for a different reason and the thing was I was made to fight "the spokemen " and once ran his head into a wall ,every time I beat him but it was the sheer numbers that was my problem .
I had a nephew who at two years old was obviously gay ,at seventeen he came out to his parents ,his father was in complete denial .It is so hard hence the reason for these marches .
He has to know it is fear that they are showing because they don't understand .The school must do better . Take it up with his MP or someone higher than the headmaster/mistress if neccesary .
Good morning all .We had rain yesterday ,quite heavy for two 20 minute spells now it is like Southern Spain again. I hope all had a good night and a better day today .Thinking of you @Terrarian , the start of a better life .

Morning all, weather is erratic here too, T. Cloudy mornings after a bright start then sunny very warm afternoons, evenings cloudless skies with lovely sunset. Light rain here at the moment. Mr G. just gone to pick H. up so we’ll see how he is today. I always worried he would be picked on because he’s a ginger, his Dad was, but that’s never been a problem for him. Gay must be the new ginger. Anyway off to see my friend this morning to chew over the fat. lol Have a good day all,?
I'm so sorry for your troubles and worries Gwladys , genuinely hope things get better soon.
