    Hi my name is Rebekah as the nic suggests. I have had depression since childhood. Many types if child abuse etc. Any way I had been fine for a while but today has been a very very hard day for me. Having pmt just made the whole depression thing so much worse that I was even having suicidal thoughts. Any way I managed to calm my self down before work by having some aromatherapy treatment on myself. And feeling a bit better now. Going to try to sleep. Sorry to gatecrash just needed to vent.

    morning all, hope everyone is ok
    hi rebekah(((big hugs))), welcome to the thread, feel free to post as much as much as you feel comfortable with hun, everyone here is really friendly.
    got to go get dressed, daniel is goiing to summer camp today for two whole days :j :j :j
    of course i will miss him, but he has been so very difficult to be around lately, and i know most of it isnt on purpose, but part of his mental illness, but that is making my stress, anxiety and depression so much worse, can never relax, cos never know what he going to do next, he had a particulary violent episode on saturday, trick is keeping him busy all time, but so difficult when i'm tired too, and getting no help support or respite.
    oops turned into bit of a moan there lol
    hugs all

    Hi Rebekah,Welcome to the thread everyone is welcome here.Hope you are feeling better today.PMT when you suffer from depression makes it ten times worse but it is great that you are finding ways to help yourself such as the aromotherapy.At least you know the pmt will lift in a few days.Feel free to post as much as you want it has been quiet on here lately but there is usualy someone around.

    Thank you for being understanding everyone. I feel fine this morning. Makes me read back at things i've wrote and I feel like a right ole' attention seeking plonka. Oh well ... life goes on. The sun defintely makes a difference and I swear I suffer from SAD in summer as well as Autumn these days when its gloomy for weeks on end. I am going on holiday in 4 weeks and I can't wait. Not been away for 2 years. Any one else been away? Yes I am luck I have found ways to cope with it :-) I talk positve to myself like talking to another person. Sounds odd but the mirror treatment really does work. x
