Depression Support Thread

beachbeth

Thank you so much, Tiff for going through my letter. I will change the few points you have altered and get it posted. I will send virtually the same letter to my MP too, explaining how difficult (and insane!) the whole system can be and letting him know how it affects people like me.

The unconcious mind is black and white. Your concious mind isnt but then unlike the unconcious its not switched on all the time. Your unconcious mind is far more powerful and depression is a product of the unconcious. its a bit like smoking. conciously a smoker knows its bad for them. Unconciously the brain sees it as a protection against something eg stress.

The conscious mind isn't switched on all the time?

So...I finally did it - booked myself an appointment to go to the doctors on thursday, tell him i stopped my tablets etc, quite scared, but i'm sure it will be ok

trying to have a productive day today, but just cant get motivated. Will maybe try in a bit.

hope everyone is ok

i'm so fed up of feeling this rubbish - crying for no reason

i woke up this morning, and because i've put on weight lately, i can't get any of my trousers done up, so im having to sit in pyjama trousers, so i can't even go out

i just hate everything about myself and my life. i;m sitting balling my eyes out, but i've got no-one to talk to. i don't know why i even bother pretending that everything will be ok...things just keep getting worse and worse for me, never better. I can't take anymore.

I've not posted much lately, not feeling too well. Have had two months of catching every virus going, and am now really tired and getting loads of headaches. I'm starting to get quite miserable about it.
I'm also really fed up about work, had to write a polite letter to my boss as I feel I've been treated really unfairly. I can't remember if I've posted already about this but basically because I've been ill so much (but still struggling into work most of the time) I missed the last two team meetings. Without any prior warning I've now been told I won't be given any more work (apart from three days training) until the next team meeting (mid April). It's so unfair, I was ill and she gave me no warning! I would be fine about it if anyone had told me before hand but to tell me now is just mean! Anyway, I was very polite but told her I feel this is unfair (fortunately DH has lots of work at the mo but I wanted to contribute to our finances - we are on the breadline) and could she inform me of all my responsibilities/what's required of me so that this doesn't happen again.
I've got to get over this. It's just that we are trying so hard to get out of debt and DH is working really hard and I was so looking forward to earning my own money and being able to take some of the burden off him. I feel really disappointed. I'm only going to earn £100-£150 this month!
I'm really looking forward to her reply. I wonder what she will say.
