Support for people with Depression

Hi miro!
It was indeed truly fantastic news to hear our sazzy and badgie were getting wed! They are two really wonderful people who both deserve all the happiness they can get.

Glad you had a great time. Hope work is not too bad, but I suspect you have an extra spring in your step now

Looks like not many of us left unattached....hey Tiff, I have June 19th free....

Oh miro, this is all so sudden!
Actually, there were signs back in 2006 when I think about it....

Maybe this game wasn't such a great idea! :rolleyes: I've got more than just a dusting of the Fern Britten's, but you're ok with the Norman Lamont eyebrows - I haven't got them - it's his legs that I've got!!!:rotfl:

It's such a big step. This may take a while - I have to consider my answer most seriously......

You can't run now, miro - it's in writing so it's a legal contract! Hang on a minute......hey - you didn't say which year!
Be kind to yourself, hunnie.
Much Love,

Meeting went fairly well, my boss knows my OH fairly well and was happy to have him sitting in on the meeting. I was only really able to read from the notes I had already prepared. Next review will be in 2 months (so at least I still have a job) lots of mention of 'asking for support' but it's not always easy to recognise when you need support etc... Think he's finally beginning to recognise that the way the firm has grown in the last year is now meaning that just working smarter may not be enough and my hours will need to be increased - we shall see......

Most importantly (for me) he recognised at the end of the meeting that what I needed most was a hug

Glad it went well Hopefully everything talked about will be actioned

I won't quote the pics - one set is more than enough for Miro to stomach in one year

I've searched high and low for a temporary replacement for you that was named 'Michael', until you find the one that escaped, and you are in luck!

Wonder when we will get little Sazger's or Gilbo's (Sorry, nicked your tappy fingered man)

:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: The lack of such information of the year has saved me......for now

Maybe I could convince Mr Barrymore to increase his pursuit of you :D

Aww Miro you are funny Not very likely - we're a bit long in the tooth for kids - we'll just have to be content with acting like big kids ourselves... we're good at that!

And how are you today? Been out in the sun? I would myself if only I could prise myself away from my desk *rolls eyes*

Hope everyone's doing ok. Much love to all :wave:

Thanks for that V!

Could do with some help and hugs, please:
I ran away again today (yes, I KNOW I need to stop doing this) and got a lecture off my friend about it. We were talking and for the second time, he's said that he thinks I'm ill, etc. He said it sounds as though I have BPD. (borderline personaility disorder)

He said that I must go back to the doctors and he asked what had already been done and I explained that they offered me counselling (no good for me - I have NO idea what's causing my behaviour) and that they offered me medication - which I refused. My friend said I'm better off waiting until I get a diagnosis and then consider medication.

How do I go about getting a diagnosis (although I'd rather not have any more - already been diagnosed with depression plus a rare genetic disease, so far this year) and the help I need? Whatever that may be.

To get a diagnosis you'd need to see a psychiatrist who will asess you (45ish min chat) and then formally diagnose you by discussing with you, you get to ask questions, its just like a chat really but concerns how you are and how things have been, bit more in depth then your regular TV chat! You need to speak to your GP who can refer you to a Psyhciatrist for an assesment.

There are from what I understand quite a few options with bipolar (if you do have this- am not a medic of psyhciatrist) medication seems to be popular and you can get a far better quality of life if you take the condition seriously and work hard to make things better.

Hope everyone else is well/doing OK, not been on the thread for ages, have energy spikes where I feel as if I can get on OK, then energy drops where I find it hard to keep my eyes open. Not worked out what thats all about as yet and am struggling not to use and abuse caffiene in order to bypass them- I'd rather know what exactly I am bypassing before I do!

Then had another depressing supermarket shop tonight- I hate this: I go shopping and for whatever reason, security guards just follow me around the store- pretending to shop with a basket (yet radio or uniform badge gives them away). Am thinking of changing supermarket or just shopping online (if it weren't for the delivery cost or risk of substitutions) it just really doesn't help, I feel fine until I try to shop then feel horrible leaving- I haven't even done anything wrong! It just really gets to me. Doesn't help when I already have mood/depression issues, guess its because it sort of brings things out that were already there, odd sort of guilt complex for somthing I have no idea about. Feel rubbish though, decided against calling the Samaritans as I think I need to learn to handle this but can't understand why it does not get any easier.

Morning everyone,

I had the health visitor come and see me yesterday, she was really nice, although my Husband insisted on being there so I didn't end up talking about alot of the 'issues' between us. Because of his shifts he's going to be there next tmie she comes, a week on Monday, as well. I don't know how to tell him that I don't want him there. I can't be free to say what I want as I'm worried about saying something that will upset him. Our relationship is already a bit rocky, I don't want to make it worse as I really couldn't manage without him.

Anyway, the health visitor is coming to do 'listening visits' and she's arranging me a family outreach worker. Apparently the outreach worker can help me get out to playgroups occassionally and things, which will be lovely for my 2 year old as he loves going to groups, I just find it too hard and stressful to get out with him and the baby.

She did point out to me that my baby is now 24 weeks old and I really should be weaning him, I can't believe I didn't realise. Made me feel like a bad Mum. With my first I knew how old he was in weeks all the way through.

Got the relationship books through yesterday that I ordered from relate. I had a quick read through last night and I think they will help. Having read it I have realised that I have a tendency to blame OH for everything and always think that everyone else has it easier than me! I also think I've developed such close bonds with my boys that I've almost pushed my husband out. Must feel horrible for him. I don't give him enough credit for the things he does do, like work 43 hours a week and be a great Dad to the boys. (Although I'm not saying he's a saint, he could still def do more around the house and take a bit more responsibility for things!).

Sorry for the long post but I've got a lot on my mind and it helps to write it all down.

I hope you are all feeling well and happy today, I do find the sunshine helps a bit!

Hugs to all
Flis xx
