    Sorry things aren't going too well for you. Please try and remember that thoughts are just thoughts, not instructions. Best wishes.

    I'm getting pressure from OH to 'pull myself together' and get back to work - but I'm terrified of the whole job application/working process - rejection letters, getting the job leading to performance reviews, not getting along with workmates, making mistakes...... :(
    Please forgive me if my comments seem abrupt or my questions have obvious answers, I have a mental health condition which affects my ability to see things as others might.

    if u feel up to working, how about doing something voluntary to start off with, that way there isnt the same pressure.
    if u dont feel up to working then i understand how u feel, and you need to talk to ur other half and tell him how u feel

    Hi all, hope all okay, getting their and all that is good or will pick up soon.
    Sock-knitter, please hold on in their, try to ensure your wounds are cleaned etc, your worth being alive and here on the planet.
    Same carp for me, plodding on with it all with the usual tirade of crap life throws at me including the usual so called freinds excluding me, only bieng invited to the evening part of the wedding when the others 'freinds' are invited to it all, members of staff treating me differently to the others in the sense that theyre condensending, talk to me as if im silly or thick, and are quite happy to chat and be freindly with the others in work but not me and generally treat me completely differently to others in work.
    Plus i get my sis trying to convince me she's not up to her wannabe tricks, when she is, claims she's shtting her facebook account down but doesn't and has it so i can't see her wall.
    Plus she claims her and people are veggetarian when she's not, she eats fish, and bases her diet on the vegan diet despite eating stuff that also isnt even vegge let alone vegan? plus claims people she knows are veggie but eat chicken or fish and when i explain what the vegetarian society rules are for vegetarianism,veganism and so on she argues the toss with me and throws a childish strop claiming it easier to call herself vegge and that im not veggie as i eat eggs? And despite me also explaining that her and these 'others' are giving me a bad name in a sense and making it hard because of what theyre claiming?
    i keep trying to plod on but it all really getting me down and on why wick, esp when i seem to have to behave and act so much like the way a child almost does or the way certain people expect and not myself.
  • Just checking in and therefore bumping this thread.... where are you all?

    I was full of beans last weekend and after an awful 3 days at work I'm at rock bottom now... the point of feeling such a failure in everything that I don't see a point in anything anymore, anything I touch turns to disaster or failure it feels

    hi tiff, how are you hun, been wondering how you were, been a very long time since i last saw u post here, and i missed your kitty pics
    gemini, how are you, the didnt work out, been on my own for just over a year now, yep the boys still playing me up, and they've just turned 16 this month, and leaving school this year, so i expect unsettled few months
    unluckyt, i dont understand why your sister acts as she does, try to ignore the things she says, see if that helps
    raksha, how lovely to be helping others, hope the work with the youngsters is going well, and that you are still loving it
    littlestar, sorry to hear things arent too good for you at the moment, please remember your not alone on this rollercoaster of depression, my life is a series of ups and downs too
