Support for people with Depression

elfen

I'm low already...lower than I've been in a long time. So far I'm trying to hide it, I have flashes of emotion....but then it's back to nothing.

I'm already on APs and 2 ADs, am thinking one of the ADs may need to be upped to help me - it happesn when my body gets used to it and I don't get the same effect anymore.

Hi

Just read the thread and thought I would join in if thats ok. I am currently suffering from post natal depression after having my wee boy 5 months ago. Iv been to hell and back the past few months and although I am having alot more good days now, the bad days are still bad!

Im not in contact with any of my family and my OH can be very dismissive when it comes to depression.....give yourself a shake idea! Sometimes I do feel very lonely and wish someone would give me a big hug and tell me its gna be ok....but hey ho!

((((hugs)))) I suffered from PNT following the birth of my third son and understand how you feel, there was very few people I could share it with and my husband wasn't very sympathetic. It will be okay though and I promise it gets easier and better.xx

Are you getting any support?

Vpb I suffered from postpeupral pychosis, the severest form of PND after both my children. My son is now twenty four and my daughter is seventeen. I promise you it will get better. Do you have a supportive health vistor. I had the same one after both children and she was wonderful. The Association for Postnatal Illness also have a help line 0207 386 0868 or you can google them and contact them online. They have volunteers who have also experienced PND who make regular telephone or email contact with a mother who is currently suffering. I used to do that years ago. Thinking of you.

Miroslav - hope you are ok after the anniversary. My 2 haven't budged all day so they will shortly be persuaded/shuffed out through cat flap.

The anniversary was more a celebration than a depression couple of days. It's how I wanted it - a celebration of the great character she was.

Poor cats being told to go out :rotfl:Mine are indoor cats, so they get to be waited on.

Just incase i'm not around, best wishes for the big day on Tuesday to Sazbo and Gilly.

May the 4th be with you

Hello to everyone. I need a good moan so here I am. I have bipolar, and I've been doing really well lately, but something happened this evening that's hit me hard. I got a load of abuse for no reason on a different site, someone I don't know really made me look stupid, telling lies about things I had supposedly said and done. I don't have a clue who she is, I'd never had any contact with her before, I made a comment about how I liked a certain computer game, and all this weirdness started. I just can't figure people out, it's just vileness for absolutely no reason. At first I ignored her as I thought she had confused me with someone else. Then she started sending me nasty emails. So I told her on the forum to please stop, and her friends (I presume?) started giving me a load of abuse too. I really feel sick and even had a bit of a cry over it. I envy people with thick skins, I hate how things get to me. I just don't know how to deal with stuff like this, I feel humiliated and embarrassed. I need to get tougher if I'm going to keep posting on forums. I should have been in bed hours ago, lack of slep makes me worse, but I can't calm down. I feel so pathetic for getting upset.
Anyway, if anyone else is still up, hope you are feeling okay.

I really feel for you- that sounds like a form of bullying to me and its not about needing to have a "thick skin", its about the other posters needing to think about their actions and the consiquences.

I know its a cliche but the best thing to do really is to rise above it and keep on going. No one has a right to make anyone else feel small or humiliated or embarrassed. Only you have that right- you do not have to accept the way they have made you feel. Walk away or carry on regardless, they will get bored and move on in the sad shameful ways bullys do and maybe karma will come around to reap their own "rewards".

It could also be that they are infact a little embarrased by you (rather then the other way around) maybe you have pointed out to them something they are trying to deny or hide from themselves, by you doing what they really desire they are likely to either be feeling jelousy or a reminder that a certain part of their desires still remains. They then try to belittle you and project all their own embarrassed feelings onto you. I know that doesn't help your situation, what has happened has happened but if you can maybe see its all their "stuff" and really not so much to do with you it may help take some of the sting out of it.

Hope you do manage to go back onto the forum and remember, most forums have many more lurkers who read but don't write. Many of them could be rooting for you but never actually say so. If you go back on it may not just be your own corner you fight for.
