Support for people with Depression

loveabargain, i haven't posted on this thread in ages, but didn't want to let you feel like you were the only one - i suffer from awful bouts of anaemia, currently not too bad, but have had to take varying quantities of iron supplements since i was 12 or so..the annoying part is i also suffer from insomnia and so spene a lot of my time feeling exhausted and listless, but not being able to sleep..
i never seem to have an appetite, so am not eating enough, so my metabolism suffers, which in turn doesn't help the constant battle to maintain / lose weight..
sometimes feel like i'm spiralling out of control, i'm bipolar and a fairly emotionally rocky person, but i read this thread with interest as it definhitely helps to feel like you are not the only one sometimes!!

Have you been suggested anything to help with the anaemia? Iron supplements are a lot cheaper direct from the pharmacist than through prescritpin FYI. Hope that helps a little. :S

Thanks piratefairy thats so kind of you. I have just been sitting at my desk sobbing.
I have suffered from it about 5-6 years ago but I don't remember feeling quite so low, I am taking 2 ferrous sulphate tablets a day, its like a vicious circle you have to eat to feel better but I have no appetite and feel sick. Thank you

oh i rememebr having to take a hideous ferrous sulphate liquid whilst i was at school. it was awful -had to go to the school reception twice a day for three spoons of this evil metal liquid was so glad when i got to move on to the tablets!

if you want to PM, feel free hun..hate to think of anyone sobbing at their desk

Hi, can I join in? I have depression and anxiety. Took AD's last year, came off them in November last year but have just started taking them again. Three weeks in ad feeling really low, anxiety is through the roof, but it is common when you start taking the AD's so I am just trying to ride it out. Managing 3/4 days a week in work, thankfully boss is very understanding.

Thanks elfin, struggling again today, this weather is giving me headaches and I can't be bothered to do anything. Just want to stay in bed all day, Got to write a report for my boss by tomorrow, have done all the work previously just need to pull it all together, but haven't started it yet. Just don't care about anything.

Meeting went ok with boss felt like an interogation, but at least I have a clear picture of what I need to do next. Going home this afternoon to plan the work for next week and work on another report. Gah I hate life at the moment. Really want to get from under this cloud.
