my boss is getting stroppy about me being off sick and I am sick of being ignored.

I really have had enough

*hugs*

Whether this is a good idea I donr know, but:
Can you do other duties related to your job, instead of your usual ones?

Sorry to hear you aren't doing too well, Sandy. Please don't stop posting here, there are lots of people who have been where you are now. Everything seems bleak and a waste of time. Please ring Samaritans as they will have an actual ear to listen to you instead of a virtual one as we do here. Go back to your GP and tell them exactly how you feel and mention the S word. There must be someone who can help you. Hugs for you in the meantime. ((()))

Still not much point though, things just seem to be getting worse.
My meds aren't working and I am sick of being treated like a freak, Ds brought his school report home and it's terrible, have been trying to claim on my mortgage cover for the last 3 months and they are still messing me about, DH will be late home from work, will be spending another half term stuck in the house, my boss is getting stroppy about me being off sick and I am sick of being ignored.

I really have had enough

As beachbeth says go back to your gp if your meds are having no effect.The other problems are the sort everyone gets but because of your depression they are magnified to you.Do not worry about your boss as long as you have a sick note there is nothing he can do except be stroppy.

Thanks everyone for being nice to me, that makes me cry as well:o

I can't ring anyone, I can't talk about things without breaking down and I don't want to be talked into or out of anything.
I see my GP regularly to adjust my meds but I can't have anti dees as they will interfere with my AED's. I can't mention the s word because after last time I promised him I wouldn't do it again. He has been my GP for 20 years and I don't want him to see how weak I am.

I can stop posting on here if thats want, there seems to be a lot of that on this whole site.
No point in ringing the samaritans they can't do anything. I am trying to be normal but underneath I can't see things improving.
I had one session of counselling after my last stay in hospital (not allowed to use the s word on here and I don't want another thread closed because of me, I am hated enough on here) then put on a massive waiting list.

Not much point in doing anything to be honest.

:(

Sorry Sandy- I think you misread my post- I said don't stop posting!

Please try the Samaritans, don't underestimate what a phone call can do, no it wont give you the winnings of the lottery, fix the roof or buy you a holiday but a talk with someone in real time can do amazing things. Its not easy to do, and tbh when I am very low I have to "tell" myself to call for help as part and parcel of depression is that the belief that things can get better just vanishes. Telling yourself to do things is (for me and many others I know anyway) the only way to get yourself through it. Reminding yourself it wont last forever is another but you sort of have to train yourself to believe or trust that as while your down, it doesn't feel at all ever possible. Trying to go on your emotions is not possible every time. You have to keep yourself safe.

To get yourself out of the hell you are in, I think you have to make logical choices to try improve things even when it feels pointless. I can tell you the clouds will lift, but I know you wont believe it, I can advise you to try things, and it is up to you if you try them even though it probably tears at your emotions to do so, its just advice and saying what has worked for me many times. The first few steps are the hardest.

No there doesn't seem much point in it, but that is the nature of being depressed. If you felt there was a point, you wouldn't be where you are now.

You're not hated pet.

It's just that, because of how you're feeling, you are drawing negativity and thinking something is there, but I personally, don't believe it is.

You can't help how you feel, and it is because of what you're going through, that you feel you're hated.

Take strength from the fact that there are people on here who care about how you are and please don't stop posting.

I hope you are feeling better today, and that your arm isn't causing too many problems for you.
