    Feeling so bad. Depression beating me this week. Can't stop crying. Missing my mum (never gets any better even though its almost 6 years since she died). Have a 4000 word essay to write by Friday, no motivation and feel like everyone is taking the opportunity to kick me while I'm down. Finances as bad as ever. No money, no food. Sorry for this everyone. not like you don't all have your own problems.

  • Well hon you are in the right place to start to get things sorted when you feel ready to. I have wondered where you went and how things were.

    How is the doggy?

    Hi buffy. On the whole Honey is lovely, but she's been taking herself for a few walks over the last week or so and that is stressing me up to the eyeballs! Terrified she'll get knocked over, cause an accident or forget how to get home. But her cuddles at night time make up for it I guess.

    How are you?

    Please, we do not just come on here for our own problems; we come to provide support and solace to each other.

    Sounds like stuff is really getting to you. Who can you speak to to get support on real life?

    if you are having problems with the essay and are this upset, please please speak to someone NOW about and extension, even a week might help. You probabaly need to speak to the docs and get a note, but it might make a difference.

    It is important you do this before the hand in date.

    How much money do you have until you next incoming cheque/payment? And how long will it be?
    If you've have not made a mistake, you've made nothing

    aww mupiteer sorry to hear that things are bad again; PLEASE go see your doctor soo...it sounds as if you may be suffering from depressio and the sooner you get help the soner you will feel better. Ibattled on for ages (stubborn thing that I am) and now wish I had gotten help sooner...if you want to chat privately by pm get in touch ok? you are bound to miss your mum at a time like this because thats when you miss them not being there.
    As RAS said you should be able to get a note from GP or an extention and it would be worth seeing if the hardship fund can help you. Are you managing to take the dog for walks or is that hard going?
    For now just try and get through each day, hour or minute and see the gp. big hug for you...
