Hey Summer
Well im up and down at the moment - got a funeral tomorrow a close friends fiance died he was only 23 nd she has a 4 month old baby. So sad, so im going to support her - she works where i do and ive been off work since march and my bosses will be there so i am really dreading it.
I need to hand my notice in i think realistically im never going back there....
I hate being down its really really getting to me now

Hi i know what you mean about being down,i feel am going backwards instead of forward,and i really should not be,i have two wonderful daughters,4 g/children,newest one born last wed,10wks early,but doing great.but it's not enough to pull me through.

that is really sad about your friend's fiance,she must be in bits,but its good you are going to support her,she will need your help.dont worry about your bosses,you are ill,god none of us wish to be in this position.is there a less stressful position you could do at work,or even go back 2days a week?

am still in my pjamas,but really need to go for a shower and venture to the shop as i have nothing for tea,seem to be doing a lot of over eating just now.

take care and will be thinking about you tomorrow,xxx

Hi RBK noticed your light was on.Happpy new year.How are things?and why won't you be going to the crisis recovery unit?really hope you get the help you need soon.

Happy New Year hun x

Things aren't great at the moment really not looking forward to going back to my flat.

I'm not going to the Crisis Recovery Unit anymore as they won't transfer me from one hospital to another without having a period of stability.

How are things with you hun?

hi can i join in? been suffering from depression,on tabs since oct,but tbh dont feel any better even on the meds,hopefully over the coming months will start to feel more like me,and maybe even begin to like myself again.

Hello, welcome to the depression thread. Have you been back to your GP to discuss your medication? Perhaps they could change it if you don't feel like it's working. Are you receiving any kind of talking therapy as well?

You all seem so supportive.
Thanks xxx

Hi RonniesMummy, you're very welcome here. Are you receiving any help for your depression and anxiety?

RonniesMummy

Thanks for your support re: funeral tomorrow.
Summer - Hope your youngest grandchild is doing ok - I understand that you feel down sometimes its hard to pull yourself out of it.
Well my job is where my ex Fiance works the person who really put the final nail in the coffin as far as my depression is concerned - Ah well.. My doctor wants me to volunteer for a bit of dog walking or something just to get me back in the swing of things.

RBK - Hope your doing ok ? If you want to talk i am here.

Im just trying to get myself syced up for tomorrow - have had a shower (a big thing for me these days!) even got dressed .. even if i spend all of the week in bed i have to be ok tomorrow for a few hours!

Hi guys

Its been a while since I have posted. Shameful really

Well, since the last time I posted I have not only halved my dose of tablets but have also started the process of coming off altogether! I take one every second day now with no ill effect so far **touch wood** so I am feeling positive. Much more like my own self.

Hope you are all well xx

Yay :T fantastic news.

RonniesMummy...Sending you a big (((HUG))) I will be thinking of you tomorrow.

Thank you RBK - and yes i am receiving help - if i can use that word, have never seen the same psychiatrist twice... so its a little bit hit and miss.

Thank you for the support x

RonniesMummy...I know what you mean. When I'm being treated in the community I don't tend to see the same psychiatrist twice which can be very frustrating.
