Getting myself back to the point where I could again hold down a job was bl**dy hard work. There were enough tears to break a drought. So hearing ignorant tosh about depression makes my blood boil. I wouldn't wish it on anyone but if you haven't been there you _just_ _don't_ _know_. I'll stop now before the mods have to get involved.......

All the best to you David. I wouldn't worry about some of the senseless comments here. People are always quick to judge everyone else harshly, esp when they're judging from ignorance. Of course (regardless of the justice of the woman's claim) there is no one on this site who would come out squeaky clean if their affairs were kept under surveillance. But you know, don't let that get in the way of our fun whenever we see a fellow inmate get the boot. More surveillance I say. Lets watch everybody 100% of the time and make sure nobody ever gets away with anything. God may have given us free will but we can fix that.
