Support for people with Depression

wolvesinwales

Is there a forum for supporting people who try to help their partners with depression but have everything thrown back at them ?

Just a quick hello to those who remember me, as I don't post here often anymore. :wave:

Hopefully people are doing the best they can and the nicer weather is around the corner which will hopefully help moods, although if you are like me, sneezing season is about to hit

I'm still with my young lady and things are going very well and i'm on a new diet. My body doesn't like it much though even if I do feel better generally

Take care everyone.

You can post on here, there are others in your position too, I know it can't be easy for you, I imagine I wasn't the easiest person to live with when I was married either.

It's a struggle coping with depression, and we always seem to vent our frustration out on the people who are closest to us, I know I did it, and even realised it while I was doing it, then I'd be eaten up with guilt.

I hope your partner gets the help they need, and I hope you get the support you need too.

hi all, hope all is okay or will get their.
cross with myself again for doing my wasting money from the same saving pot by comfort eating.
i cant pinpoint what exactly what causing it other than giving in to certain people with their ways, the hampster escaping in the middle of saterday night and just about finding/catching it plus work getting more stress full becuse of the rules plus i cant help but talk a lot, plus feel guilty about it and bieng personal and talking so much about myself.
i will keep trying to stop, like losing weight and saving as i want to plus i really want to be slimmer and get back into riding again.

Hello everyone - love to you all! Have been feeling rather blah lately, exhausted in a lot of pain. Will try and pop in more often to keep up with you all.x

Help!!! I'm trying to deal with my depression, but I'm feeling overwhelmed by life events

1) #2 son has admited he's smoked cannabis (he's 16 at the end of April and wants to join up as soon as possible)
2) #1 son announced to everyone he's getting married in August (date to be confirmed) on Facebook, and I'm feeling upset that he didn't tell me first.
3) OH has got a deep abcess on his leg - last time he had one of these, it turned out to be an 'antibiotic resistant infection' and he was admitted to hospital where he was critical for 48 hours.
4) #3 son is in trouble at school for his behaviour, not doing homework, not attending detentions and, this is the straw that's broken this camels back - buying cans of pepsi for 25p and selling them at school for 50p
5) I'm receiving JSA at the moment, but my Dr thinks I shouldn't be considering anything temporary, only part time, and each time I get within sniffing distance of an interview, I start getting anxious/stressy.
6) I finished a 26 week course of councelling yesterday and now feeling rather alone.

At the moment I couldn't feel more alone.
I have felt like I was ok, and coping, and then mroe recently that things are spiralling out of control. I have lost the only person who I felt I could rely on to help me through and care about me, and to be honest I'm not suprised he has given up on me, I'm giving up on myself.
Off to the docs in the morning, but not holding out much hope for any help. Just get sent off with a prescription each time.

Hope I'm OK to join this, I don't know what to do... I am just completely alone. I don't even know what to write here. I've got a decent GP, I went in and just rambled, and of course out came the Citalopram prescription (it's so easy for them isn't it). Then it was all a mess to get it which just made my panic even worse and everythings just.... I can't even construct a decent paragraph. I know the reasons why I feel like this, but I can't get out of it...

Welcome Littlestar.
I think i can safely say most including me here know or can empathise with you their to some degree or other. It can be hard, but please hang in thier.
I can hardly talk though, dont feel too bad in myself, still having abusive customers and some crap from work but cant shake this spending/over eating habit i have. the money im trying to save for clothes, prescriptions etc is dissopearing and i really got to get things sorted/worked out - fast.
It a comfort come reasaurance thing i think, to make up for the crap i get and so on.
hope all is okay and looking up for everyone.
