Support for people with Depression

A big welcome to all the newcomers, share as much or as little as you want.



Morning Tulip, you know i didnt even know it was april fools, aslept thru most of it :rotfl: , so what prank did ya play on your parents. I used to play exactly the same joke on my dad every single year, but caught him out each time heheh. Hope your well today.

Hi CB2, what a fountain of knowledge you are. Interesting article tho...Interesting because when I was in hospital we had no free phone service to the samaritains altho there was a phone, that was broken haha

Milliemonster Big first. You have been through alot over the last wee while. Have you ever stopped and given yourself credit for the things you have done. Im soo sorry to hear about your mum, were you close? Have you been able to grieve for your mother. Alot of the time we keep our emotions inside, unable to express them, but it is a great release when we do. If you need to talk I am here to listen. I hope your ok today xx

Saz, Gem, LM Nice to see yas. Hope you and yours are both well xx

Right I had better go get some thingas done. I went for a nice swim just now, very refreshing

huggles to all that need them

Aw, thank you Shaz for your kind words (post 1131 -26th March). I'm so glad to hear you felt so helped and supported by the Samaritans when things were desperate.
We are just ordinary people! Just volunteers.
Some Sams have suffered depression themselves in the past, so they know from their own experience what helps (and what doesn't).

If anyone reading this is feeling useless and worthless, may I encourage you to take heart; with a bit of support your life can be turned around no matter how black things feel right now........

May I say Shaz, from your posts, you have shown remarkable resilience and perseverance in your difficult situation.
Do you feel things could change? What might be of help?
If you need a break, you're very welcome to come and stay in my home and enjoy some relaxation and chill out time.
<hugs> CB2X

hi cb2, i think things will only change once the boys are adults and are well supported in suitable housing to meet their needs, til then i will remain a full time carer with no respite or support, from services that are supposed to support families who are struggling.
thanks for the welcome to your home for some chill out time, unfortunatly where i go the boys have to come too.

hugs
