Support for people with Depression

Raksha

hey ho - sliding back down again now, and on top of everything else, dear DIL was looking forward to a week in Cornwall now can't go, now that's enough to trigger her off down the slope as well, AND #1 son (her fiance) has been demoted from a job he was only put into a few months ago - cost saving, and he doesn't think that will be the end of it and now OH is in hospital for 'test' - he's showing all the same symptoms he did last time he had a pulmonary embolism (and #2 son is in the middle of his GCSE's)

hi raksha, i have two sons in the middle of their gcse's, they are so stressed, they are taking it out on me when they are at home, struggling here, seeing my cpn on a weekly basis at the mo

hi Sock-knitter - my lad is so bloomin' laid back about it all, he's almost horizontal! Which is probably just as well. OH is home - the hospital have done their tests and are satisfied it's 'just' a Lower Respitory Tract Infection, so he's back home, under my feet and disrupting my routine...

im kinda worried and am going to ring the doctor esp as i need more antidepressants, as i keep buying books to donate them, replace them, want to get rid of them plus want to buy things like staionery and arty sruff even though i cant draw for toffee and dont really need the stuff i keep wanting to buy?
plus i keep opening and closing a current account in natwest, encouraged my a member of family.
im still stressed about the same things but cant explain why im up and down like this, plus keep binge eating. my mood is up and down, not nearly as bad though?

Ring your doctor first thing UnluckyT, have a chat.

I seem to have highs and lows like a rollercoaster, but the highs are really short lived and the lows really are the lowest of the low. I'm desperate, I feel like I'm trapped in a box with no way out. I'm seeing my GP on Friday which seems so far away and I've no idea what he can say anyway.

For me evenings are especially bad.....

First post on this thread didnt even know it existed, but feel the need to write it before I punch my boyfriend in the face :mad:

God I bloody hate him, he makes me so angry whinging at me when he knows I am having a bad day, everything is about him and his f***ing feeling, and now im ungrateful because "he was just trying to talk to me"

He knows im out of my meds so havent been able to take any for 3 days yet he still acts like such a stupid !!!!!!!

He's told me he'll leave me if I hit him and to be honest there are times where if I didnt have any self control it would be so worth it just to get him to f*ck off.

I'm in so much pain my stomach because i'm so wound up!

Sorry for rant im so angry and upset

Hugs to you mummyplus3, men are such pains aren't they! Maybe politely but firmly just ask him for some space today.

You should never go without meds, your GP should be able to get you a prescription that day if you've forgot (we're all human) or a pharmacy should help you out for a day or 2 til you can get a prescription.

This thread isn't updated too often, maybe people are too scared of getting attacked by trolls or saying the wrong thing to us in our delicate states, but feel free to PM for a rant if need be.

It will get better xxx

:wave: Haven't been in this thread for ages.

Mummyplus3 - Welcome to the thread.
Could you phone up your doctor to get a prescription done asap, or if you're not able to, do you have a friend or someone who might be able to? Going without meds is never a good thing so might be exacerbating the way you're feeling at the moment.

Came back from Florida last week. M.E is being a royal pain in the !!!!. My anti-psychotic was upped the other week but my psychiatrist has now retired so I have the other psych prescribing my meds. I'm not feeling any effect yet so I might see if my CPN can arrange a meeting with her to discuss things.

We've put a deposit on a car. It's a Golf GTI and it's going for £700. It only has a three month MOT left but we've agreed with the guy that we'll pay for the MOT if he gets it done and it passes. It's having the MOT done tomorrow. We've been without a car for months and so have been car-sharing with OH's mum but it's really not viable anymore as I have so many appointments that we really need our own car. Please cross your fingers that it passes with MOT.

Apparently sometimes your pharmacist can do an emergency script so that might be worth trying?

My mood is still low. Don't feel my anti-d's are working at all but got to wait till 20th to get them changed.
