I think that was just a threat - I have no idea if he really meant that.

Does he not feel able to offer the support you need? Could another friend or family member share the burden with him? Not saying you are a burden btw it's this condition that is!

hi all, been up and down like a yo-yo the past few days.
i doubt certain people around me realise what theyre doing to me and the effect it has with me trying to cope. tried to have a word with them a while a go, but as someone once said to me 'have i got anything to loose if i have it out with a particular group of them' and the answer is no, so will have to at least try.
on the good side ive finally got a councellor for specialist councelling and start next week.
so in the meantime im off this week and trying to fill my time, and make the most of not having at least work stress me out. especially as i had some wages spare to buy a weekly bus pass to shop elsware and get out anyware rather than be indoors. shame not had a little more to go down to the coast for a day or two or something.

Sounds like me. OH is taking the mick as are quite a few people in my life. Always been seen as the strong one so I get landed with everyone else carp. I once decided to take myself off on a drive nice quiet area, picnic and a book. Before I got out the car (this will probably sound daft) I let out a scream, yell call it whatever you want. It was great to vent. But these days I feel like doing that every day. There are so many horrid people around me that I'm 'supposed' to care about. Yet they take, take, take and I never get any me time. OH yelled at me tonight as i hadn't heard my phone, felt about 2 inches tall and nearly crying typing this so I know where you're coming from UnluckyT. Not got much to smile about at the moment. Tried talking to them about it and (don't know if anyone else gets this) you get called 'selfish' or some other nasty word....all I want is a bit of respect, a bit of me time and a bit of understanding. I don't think that too much for any of us to ask for. Sorry for the vent.

Hi, can anyone advise me of somewhere i can talk online regarding what I feel is despression, I don't really know for sure if that's what I have but i'm really struggling with my life and nothing i do seems to be right.

I try so hard to make the finances work, i fail when it comes to relationships and just have so much on my plate i can barely get up for work in the mornings.

I stuggle to eat, yet cook nightly for my two teenage kids and appear to them 'normal', this is probably my last little bit of self respect and sanity i hold onto.

I can't cope with my finances anymore although i'm not in debt i just know i will be yet all i do is save every penny where i can.

Is there anywhere I can just feel i'm not alone?

(pls move to appropriate place)

Stop being brave hannah, see your gp, ask to see a councellor, you really need to talk to someone who is impartial.
You dont have to take medication if you dont want to, talking sometimes helps a lot. Do yu have an OH, can you not talk to him.

Do you just tink youre feeling a bit down, does anything in your day make you smile.

Keep posting, we will help if we can.

Hi, no i dont have a oh nor parents or family and the couple of friends i do have are not really closer friends so im very 'isolated' on a personal level.

I seem on the outside (when I venture out) well dressed and 'with it' but in truth on the days im not working i find it so hard to get dressed and make any kind of effort to do anything, i literally have to force myself, yet at night all i feel is lonely and sad and hate going to bed because i know i wont sleep until 4/5 am :-(

Thank you, i'm not trying to be brave, i'm just trying to cope and I feel scared to ask for help or even say i need help, that sounds strange i know, but that's how i feel x I undermine myself, play things down, but i will go and try and talk to my GP, thank you. I just don't want to waste his time I guess and I'm so worried I will be just told to go away. uhh.
