Support for people with Depression

Hi all,

Hope you are all doing ok, like you CCstar and others have said isn't the weather lovely.

well done to your daughter rubytuesday, is she already having driving lessons? Good that you are keeping touch with your family, my brother cut himself off from us for over 3 years for no reason other than his mental health we believe, fortunately now he seems better and stays in touch lots more.

Tulip, glad the hospital appointment went ok and sh1305 hope you get the help you want.

Emzy hope you'll post again.

As for me, not having a good time again, no reason or nothing happened. My anxiety is getting worse, feel very low and feel matter of time before breakdown in tears again . Guess just so much going on in my mind still. I'll keep going. I have to. But some days it is so damn hard.

Twinklebelly my daughter started driving lessons in November she is doing really well and has her test at the begining of June.
I came across this website for anxiety in some information I picked up the other day https://www.no-panic.co.uk, they have a helpline 0808 808 0545.

Sorry- just need to sound off!

Had a very difficult Easter with my mood already being low as my tharapist was away. I then had my skin default on me and with it my sleeping patterns reduce to nil (about 4 hours a night of very broken sleep).

Managed to pick myself back up off the floor about halfway through thinking I was doing fine and quite amazed at myself for doing so, even managed to prevent the spread of one of my 4 skin conditions, I get a phone call cancelling my next few sessions. Stupid Volcanic erruption!!!!

I knew this would happen- I had been waiting for the phone call, but it would seem even my negative thinking did not help prevent my reaction. I was in floods of tears for a good few hours, pathetically trying to focus on the next few minutes etc etc as I try to rearrange back my next week which will no longe have any therapy sessions in it.
Its amazing just how far I thought I was in terms of coping, infact all along I had just been able to wait as I had a date I could foresee. It feels like now the ground has just been removed from under my feet.

It had been going so well!

Jenniewb try and think positively that you have actually been able to cope, even if it's because you thought you had a therapy session due, that doesn't matter you still coped, so you have been strong and will probably be able to cope a bit longer. Don't be hard on yourself. Take Care x

Thanks- am trying to do this! It was a nice thought though- I seem to have been doing a sort of 'mindfulness' without actually realising- concerntrating on what I havem where I am, how the breeze in the air feels on my neck...things I am 'happy' about. I guess now it just feels a whole lot harder, didn't realise just how much I was hanging on for things and then the goal posts move. Just suddenly feel exhausted- like I wasn't aware of the effort I had to put in to get myself through this Easter (thought it seemed a bit too easy!)

Thanks for the reply Am trying to do the take it easy thing and use my mum being on holiday as a bonus- am going over to her flat to use her tumble dryer and get some of my flat back as its otherwise a constant battle for space with 2 massive clothes horses in it! Deliberatly ate so I knew I wouldn't pinch her wine which I am itching to do! Still pretty woozy after the sleeping pills I took last night (they weren't working...I took more...I got to sleep at about 8am) so alcohol is out of the question! (PS NHS Direct already know about the pills)

Well just take it easy, it sounds like you could do with some rest now.
