Support for people with Depression

La-Cara

I've had enough of having no hobbies, and not enjoying doing anything. It's even worse just now because I can't get out to the shops or anything to pass the time. I haven't really "done" anything since before christmas. The past 2-3 years have basically consisted of me doing coursework for uni. I have an exam and a report both due on the 15th, so really I should be concentrating on them, but I'm so fed up with spending all my time on uni work. None of my "friends" ever seem to have the time/money to be able to do anything with me., so I've given up asking any of them to do anything.
I'm not sporty or artistic, and I've tried doing things like volunteering. I have 8 weeks left at uni, then I will have to get a job, but there doesn't seem to be very many jobs that appeal to me or I would be suitable for.
Going to try and get a doctors appt this week, and will hopefully see the careers advisor at uni after my exam.

any ideas?

Put to sleep at 9.39am.

Oh Miro, Im so sorry to hear of your loss this morning. You must be in bits. I really feel for you because I know exactly how heartbreaking it is when they go. Keep us updated with how you are doing. I hope you aren't too snowed in and can sort out the cremation for your little darling. RIP beautiful little cat.

It's been trying to snow here. I hope nothing comes of it and we can go tomorrow or Wednesday, or she'll need to go back to the vets and I don't want that as I want her here lying in her carrier until she is cremated and we get her ashes. I don't want her not here for as much as one night.

I'll reply to beachbeths other post another time. I can remain ugly for another day, I don't care right now.

Take care, Miro. You have enough to deal with at the moment so only come here when you need to and have the strength. Best wishes and hugs. ((()))

Im not doing too well today. Im supposed to be getting the dinner at the moment but feel overwhelmed for some reason. Ive had a blood test at the docs and am anxiously waiting for the result. Im hoping that it comes back with something because otherwise Ive got certain symptoms (diarrhoea one of them) with nothing to explain it. At least if the test says x, y or z is causing the problem then I will know how to deal with it. Im going to peel the potatoes and put them on to boil and not think beyond that and at least tea has been started. If I start thinking about the meat, veg, gravy etc then it becomes too much and I feel frozen.

Hate depression.

Beth the same thing happens to me - i feel as though things are crowding in on me - even the most routine things - and suddenly it all feels completely overwhelming. I think you've got the right idea tho - deal with it one bit at a time.

Re your symptoms - of course you must wait for your test results, but just wanted to mention that I have quite a few colleagues off work at the moment with a gastric flu bug - with the symptoms you mentioned, I've had it and my o/h has it at the moment quite bad. Not suggesting at all that you've no right to be concerned, but just wanted to mention that in case it's relevant. Big hugs to you xxx

Think of you Miro too. I'm so sorry for the hurried reply, but leaving work soon and given that o/h had to go and dig our road out of the snow this morning at 6.30am so we could travel to work, I'm a little anxious about the car journey back home tonight :-/

See you later, have a good evening everyone.

I have felt in real hiberation mode this week. I have also found it hard to do the most routine jobs.

I hate January. It is gloomy, boring and miserable:(
