Go to your profile, (tab at the top of the page, after Home, Help and Search).
Click on Forum Profile Information on the left of the screen under Modify Profile.
Then work it out for yourself.
To avoid clogging the airwaves, or something, you should post your preferred image in Photobucket and then put the link in the appropriate box. (I have probably lost you by now, but frankly I find I work out IT issues more by instinct than instruction.) More info on Photobucket on the Announcements and Board Usage boards.
Good luck and I look forward to seeing the result.

Depression is a serious business, so I thought we could do with a separate space for people to sound off or to be a but glum. I know it is. I was diagnosed with depression in January. I have my good days and bad. Today I am feeling pissed off (due to the fact it took me three hours to clean my car inside and out only for a bird to shit on the roof of it). Bloody things should be shot! Seriously though, depression is awful. I wish it would go away.  Yours, Nelson. |

Scott, I have known people who have suffered from depression and all I can offer in way of advice is just keep going, it will get better. Regarding your comment about wishing it would go away, I feel the same about my arthritis which has been unbearably painful today (which puts me in a bad mood)  |

Arthritis is not at all funny Jonathan. At the risk of being ridiculed can I recommend magnetic bracelets? IMHO they work!! ( I'll get my coat!! ) A  |

Scott,
There are a lot of people on this board who might be able to help. 'Meeting Life Challenges and Upsets' was the replacement for the 'Depression Thread', and has a lot of comments from people like Mort and Milly and George and HH and...... well lots, who seem to know so much better than me what the right things to say are.
I do hope the downs stay away. At least if you are angry, then there is a drive/energy somewhere in you which you can tap into, so in a funny old way, I am glad you are able to have a rant. But I do wish things pick up for you.
Glad to have you back posting here too
Tommo

( I'll get my coat!! ) A Thanks for that A - something else for me to try - it's my hips that are arthritic, by the way - I assume the bracelets work regardless of the site of the pain? - I'll have to look that up... Actually, my wife suggested biofreeze earlier and I've put some on and, by golly it works! Can't feel a thing! Marvellous! No pain (and much better than those horrible anti-inflammatories which mess up my digestion)  |

I believe it does but I just have arthritis in the little finger of my left hand ( great for a violinist!!) and I went on a week's playing chamber music several yeaqrs ago and I was in agony by about hal;f way through the week. I tried a magnetic bracelet and the following years have had little pain and it seems to have straightened slightly. Look at this page http://www.magnetictherapy.co.uk/well worth it !! A |

I am reading in Eckhart Tolle book A new Earth that is one is unhappy at this moment one can allow those feeling to be there. In onther words if you don't mind being unhappy, what happens to the unhappiness?
May be one should accept inner unhappiness. Non resistance to feeling perhaps are Buddhist attitude to life.
This is mad world we live in and we all need healing.
The author says that joy can come from withing of us and not from the world. We should not attach to happy event, or unhappy and not be dependent.

Hi t-p. I am not sure I agree entirely. Buddhists feel very strongly about things but just don't show it, they are able to manage their inner feelings better than the majority of us. I don't think we should accept inner unhappiness, I think we should fight it , and get on with the positive things. Think about good things , don't always dwell on the unhappy things in life. Try reading something a bit lighter?? A |

Hi t-p, I am happy to see that scurrilous rumours that you had been driven away from here are ill-founded.

Hi Bryn,
In secret I was trying to become enlightened. What is happiness? Is it success, youth, financial security, superior intellect?
I always wanted to be better, more talented, more knowledgeable, more paitient, etc, etc, etc. In fact I wanted to be like you, but I can't.
So I decided to accept it.

 t-p, if I had known your aspirations were set so low, (wanting to be like me), I would have advised you to study the masters earlier. Cage was my guide to what little I know of the Buddhist ethos.

I think I read book by Cage a few years ago. I remember a few things from it, but not too much. I did not know he was enlightened by Buddha too. But I think from where I am you come as close to Buddha as it is possible to be.
