Support for people with Depression

Thanks Jennie, I think you pretty much described exactly how I'm feeling. I was speaking to a work colleague about it and she said it shows I'm not well as thats just not me at all.

Can't sleep again, after tossing and turning for a couple of hours decided to get up. I think the tablets are making me worse, I constantly feel sick so going to make an appointment at the docs to see if I can get them changed. Don't know if/how I can face going in to work tomorrow, everything just seems so hard at the moment.

Hi Losingpatience, hope it goes well with the GP, Remember with all meds aside from the OTC ones we are all used to, they can take up to 2 weeks and sometimes longer to work. I know with one antidepressant/anti anxiety I was on it actually made things feel worse before they got better- though its a different sort of worse, when you think something will eventually help it can give you some sort of a boost- enough to ride out the intitial side effects anyway. But make sure you get a good chance to talk it through with your GP- do you not have a psychiatrist who can talk with you? or social worker/CPN? The reason I ask is they have more knowledge and experience of the pills then most GPs seem to.

Just take it one step at a time re:work. I don't know if it is a good idea to go in or not- only you know, but I know when I was at work in a job where if I didn't have a smile stuck on my face all the time, customers complained (oh the life of a River Island shop assistant!) which can be a very lonely experience. I'd expect it to feel similar with most jobs, the loneliness can make things feel even more iscolating so theres that to watch out for. But then again, staying at home can make going back to work feel like a huge burden. I know for me, even though I have had mood drops and then felt more capable a few days or weeks or etc down the line, when I am down, it doesn't feel like anything will ever lift. So I take the day off work, feel like I cannot go in, feel like as I've not gone in its because things are so bad, then I worry I will never be able to go back- I think it depends on whats going on for you and if your able to take time off and really relax rather then take time off and worry and stress that your taking time off. Again, only you know that.

Do you have any support at home if you were to take time off? -its not easy when things feel bad to be alone. Its also important to keep yourself safe.

I know they said there'd be side effects, but I don't know whether I can handle them to be honest, one of the reasons I couldn't sleep is because I feel so sick. I've lost 4lb this week as I've just got no appetite because of it, I'm having palpitations as well and feel panicky so definitely have felt worse the last couple of weeks!

I just can't see an end to this which is whats scaring me, I didn't think I was "the type" to get like this, my parents don't understand, my mams adamant I shouldn't be on any medication which is so hard. Just feeling really crappy right now, and yeah I suppose I am feeling sorry for myself, feel like waking the BF up so I can get a hug lol

Hi Sandy

You're not being stupid so don't think that, my feelings are all over the place at the moment and I think people must think I'm going mad! But the way your feeling can't be helped just now, I'm sharing feelings on here that I've bottled up and never even told those closest to me. It's reassuring knowing I'm not going insane, that there are others out there going through something similar!

I hope your feeling a bit better this morning, just have to take things a day at a time x

Thank you. Things just pile up then I can't take anymore. Thats why i like posting on here, no one judges me and it's easier because it's anonymouse.

Hope you are doing ok. x

Hello Everyone. I managed to get to my walking group today and we had a very short walk round the park as it was so wet and cold!! Went to tescos straight after so didn't have my own bags. They only had tiny little bags which was abit of a struggle as I'd bought a six pack of cat food and a huge bag of dried which was on offer along with the rest of the shopping!! Went to the diet clinic yesterday and have lost another kilo (2.2lbs) so really pleased. All this walking is doing me good.

How does anyone cope when they have to endure people who won't stop being a nasty aggressive bully until they bring them down?

No matter how good you feel or get yourself up, they are relentless.

I need to escape the people who are doing this to me. I feel I am being destroyed by them.
