    RBK - how are you feeling today? 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.

    I saw the same one twice at first she was amazing totally listened and helped - since then i havent seen anyone the same its horrible. I dont feel confident enough to phone them if i feel down id rather just hide away cos i dont feel like i have a good relationship with them. If that makes sense?X

  • 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?
    hi rbk,am on meds,doc put them up to highest dose last week and back to see him next week,but to be honest i still feel as bad as i did from first day of taking them.
    i know i have a lot of issues i need to deal with but i cannot do it yet,really cannot face them.
    doc not said anything about therapy or anything,but then i go in,and he asks how i am,and i start crying,argh it annoys me that i do it every time i go,started avoiding going out the door,because if i meet anyone i know,they ask if am ok,i know i look terrible.

    Hi tulip am glad to hear your on the way up,fingers xed i can join you one day soon!!
    i came into the world with nothing,and guess what? i still have it!!!:p
  • 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!

    well i guess am really not alone,my boyfriend was cheating on me,and the other one pregnant,so i got dumped.that was nail in the coffin for me,had a few nasty shocks before that regarding family members who i now no longer talk to,but getting dumped just finshed me "god thats me crying again" am 47 you would think i could just get on with it but it still hurts.
    well my first shower since fri,badly needed.
    i see what you mean about your job and ex.
    big (((hugs))) for tomorrow,but be easy on yourself too

  • Louise22...I am OK, head is a bit messed up. How are you doing?

    RonniesMummy...Do you have a care co-ordinator/CPN that you could talk to about the psychiatrists?

    summerof0763...I don't have any advice just a (((HUG))) to let you know I'm thinking of you.

    thanks rbk sometimes you feel so alone,have found that people who have never suffered depression,dont fully understand you.

    i feel myself shutting off from the outside world more each day.

    how are you today?
    i came into the world with nothing,and guess what? i still have it!!!:p
  • hi ronnie mummy just wondering how you got on today? and how you are? been thinking about you today (((hugs)))
    i came into the world with nothing,and guess what? i still have it!!!:p
  • summerof0763...I know what you mean. I don't have much of a life outside of my flat. I'm not doing too good today, having bad thoughts. How are you?

    awh rbk keep your spirits up,i will be around on thurs/fri am on msn if you feel like a chat.
    again like you i dont have a life outside,i have no-one to call a friend,am no longer in contact with my family,and all i have left is my daughters and g/kids.
    am not doing so great today,as told my daughter would go and see her tomorrow,which means facing the outside world,and i start panicing outside.and i have to put a face on:(
    i came into the world with nothing,and guess what? i still have it!!!:p
  • summerof0763...Thank you. Sorry to hear about your situation, it can't be easy (((HUGS))). The outside world can be a scary place but hopefully if you're with your daughter you will be ok x
