Hi Shaz only just seen your post hope you are feeling a bit better now.Was there a reason for the od?things going wrong in your life?don't know if you are on meds but it would be a good idea to see your gp for a review.

Thats brilliant

Im having a few off days. Feel very useless, cant be bothered with anything. Just dont see the point of it all.

Sequeena

My medication got changed today. I've gone from sertraline 50mg to venlaflaxine 75mg. I hope it works because I feel so terrible 80% of the time and I'm having horrible nightmares

I've had to cut myself off from my mum, sister and niece because they have said some truly horrible things They don't care about me, didn't care when I overdosed etc. I only spoke out about my childhood sexual abuse to help my niece and I've been used. I should be used to it though, nearly everyone else in my life has used me

Just popping in to say hi as not been here for a while. Things not great at the moment, even coming online is a task.

Hope everyone is as well as can be.

Hi guys,
Just wanting to get my feelings out really, feeling very down at the moment.
My daughter lives thousands of miles away, recently moved due to a new job, and I speak to her regularly on skype.
I don't know if it's my depression but I feel as if we (her family,) always come very low down in the pecking order, we only seem to speak once or twice a week yet they speak to her hubby's family a lot more. Things we'd bought for them as gifts etc. they just passed on to his family not even asking if we'd like them back - even toys bought for her siblings children at Christmas and birthdays and left at their house to play with went to her hubby's nieces and nephews.
They are hoping to come home for Christmas and I was looking forward to them coming and staying with us but she's now said that his family have invited them so they'll probably go there - I just feel devestated, we miss them too and it doesn't seem as if they realise that.
We aren't going to be able to afford to go and see them, we're pensioners and just don't have that sort of money.
There are obviously lots of other little things that add up to make me feel like this but I really just wanted to get it out of my system and writing it here is the only way I can do that.
Thanks for reading.

Sorry to hear things are difficult for you at the moment Louise, Sequeena, Miroslav and sal-ad daze (great name didn't get it at first!). Do you not alternate between the families at Christmas? It's a tricky time sometimes isn't it! One of my cats seems to want to write to you all! She keeps jumping on the keyboard! Love to you all xxx

i haven't posted on here in a reeeally long time..i hope everyone is ok as they can be, i've only read back a few pages, and thoughts are going to Sequeena and Shaz..

I'm still on a waiting list to for a counselling, it's been 18months so far with my current doc, after my previous doctor refused to refer me as they didn't want the referral to go on my medical records, saying that it could cause problems as future employers would be able to see that.. (?!) So in response to the last page or so, yes it can take a while.
SOmetimes I feel I don't need it anyway, but other times i know it would be a helpful thing..

Has anyone had any luck with lithium? It's been suggested by my doc recently that this could be the way to go, as i'm having problems with my curretn meds - sleeplessness / nightmares when i do sleep..I'm bipolar, and was told to give it some consideration, whilst i come off the current meds. I've not found much by way of goood / bad reports tbh. Not sure what to do :S
