Reduced libido is a symptom of depression really, I didn't think it was because of the AD's. You are right tho, they do have side effects and it's best to ask about all the options available. Personally I would rather take the tablets and have a reasonable life and even some happy feelings (wow!) than not take them and go back to what I was like, but that's just my choice. Counselling or CBT are good options.

Wise words.

Only done a bit this week, I'll catch up by the end of the week

I had another CRUSE session today, it has gone really well and a big thanks to everyone who said it would be hard but worth it. It was! Only one more to go and I feel much better and more at peace at long last.

Actually I might just go and finish off the LR list while Econ Gast is on

It amazes me how much you all get done in your HHC time! How do you all manage to do so much?

My living room is - erm - minimalist!

I have a thread....of my very own here
Blueberry and Rose thanks for your comments - I like that bit about charging interest (but DD could charge me - you'll see why if you read my post over there :rotfl:)

Feefee I think you should keep an eye out for Mummyoffour (I think that's right) her hubby had a car crash and has epilepsy I think. Although their situation's a little different and he was back in hospital I think.

what people fail to realise is the effects of a brain injury, i was guilty of the same you think someone either lives or dies , unfortunatly theres always major problems involved, we are trying to cope with a full memory loss, even of our baby girl, paranoia (extreme), major mobility problems, mortgages bills, and to make it worse you always find the person on the other end of the phone is a total jobsworth and wont speak to you because your not MR XXX its so wrong, if he CANT speak how can he talk to you... RAH RAH RAH. sorry ladies, had a quick flick through your all doing so well, feel free to nip in and help me....pleeease lol, im in rotherham!!!!!

hugs for those who need them xxx

I have just read this post and your one from yesterday. I am very sorry for what you are going through. I think you probably need the hugs that you are giving out. I hope you find a way to get the insensitive people on the other end of the phone to help you.

I will be thinking of you, take all the hugs from me that you need for yourself xxx

jinky don't hand over your life to the GP. If they stick you on antidepressants, bear in mind they can have side effects...reduced sexual function can be one of them Counselling may be better, or consider whether hormonal contraception is good for you?

I did have them last year:cool: they had the opposite effect on me though:D

i was considering the hormone route myself, I have been getting worse again in that respect:o

i was offered counselling last time, but didnt feel comfortable with the whole idea, and reading the depression support thread on here, people have said some counsellors are just no help really, but I will see what he says:A

:jThursday Things ~ Barfroom, loo and study! - DID IT YESTERDAY

Am soooo chuffed with myself - did the barfroom yesterday, loo gets done every day and I don't have a study!!!!!

Kids have been decluttered to bed, so its off to sort out the kitchen as best I can before I go to bed. Gott completely move loads of stuff away from the sink area so that the joiners can get in about to take my shelf down and put up my 2 new cupboards!!! I don't think I'll know myself with 2 more cupboards!!! All I have is 3 at the minute (blooming council!) - one for pans, that has tins in it, one under the sink with all my cleaning stuff, and another small one that has more food in it. Going to use the 2 new cupboards for my tins and stuff so that I can use the pan cupboard for pans and then hopefully I can use the shelving unit that we had to buy for other stuff!! Going to try and use it for my baking things.

I need to move my microwave as well but need to move the BM too so loads to do!!! My kitchen is that small that all my plates and cups have to be kept in the living room in a unit. Compared to what we had when DH was in the army, this place is miniscule but its our home and hopefully by christmas this place will look like a home!!!

Hopefully I'll feel better in the morning. Right now my sinus feels like its on fire, the killer is the headache!!! Feels like a migraine but then thats how it affects me. You'd think after so many years I'd be used to it, but it knocks me down every time!!!

Right I have to crack on as I promised myself I would be in bed before 10 tonight as I need to get some sleep!!!!

Hugs to all who need it (((((HUGS)))) and lots of love to all xxx

Not really, most of it was what you said!

LOL, me too! It's depression that makes you not want it - the AD's replace the missing chemicals in your brain that make happy feelings (altho each type of AD is different as we all have slightly different balances of chemicals in our brains, so it can take a while to find an AD that suits you) and once they kick in you feel a bit more like doing things again...
