I can do.
Would the doctor not get really angry at me for doing that? Like, I'm doing their job?
Has flatmate got in touch with S?

Just tell your GP that you were worried so checked it up and ask him/her if it's possible you have the condition. I do it on the rare occasions I go.

No she hasn't, she's gonna leave it until later. I told her it's down to 'S' really to cancel, and she didn't, but she'll phone later to see if all is well.

Just got upset
Why can't people understand. Was talking to a mate, one who is usually really understanding. Opening up about things, just talking, trying to work out what I need to do to get better.
Explained that I can't get up early enought to call the doctors.
He said "SET YOUR ALARM, GET THE **** UP AND STOP MAKING B********* EXCUSES"
Heh, no one understands

Not what you needed Some friend

'S' has called flatmate and she's coming over on Sunday.

Not sure what to think of this as she'll play with the cats and talk to flatmate, but I don't know what she can do with me.

My GP's practice runs out of appointments quickly so I dial the number - get the engaged message and then press "ringback" - it usuallyworks and I can then get an appointment.

It always ends up playing up - it keeps ringing all morning then!

Good morning my lovlies. Well, that was a fairly hideous week. Glad it's over. Feel like I'm so not coping, treading water until counselling starts. Exhausted too. Told my boss I couldn't take on this other project he wanted me on, can't handle anything else right now. Drank too much at that work do on Wednesday evening and ended-up leaving my rucksack on the train :rolleyes: But on top of that the trust who runs our flats - they're p1ssing us around something chronic at the moment, so on top of everything else, there I am trying getting legal advice about it, on behalf of all the neighbours, when all I want to do is go home and sleep.

Hi CCStar and feeling - sounds like you've both had a tough week. feeling, please do try and get that appointment sorted. I think it's appalling what people have to go through JUST to get a flipping appointment with their GP. But as I said before, you OH cannot stand in the way of you getting treatment, so as CCStar says - see if you can resume the counselling. x

CCStar, do hope you're getting some peace over the weekend. I was quite upset reading that about your OH shouting at you like that - because you were concerned about the bag of shopping? Can't understand why it is with some men all they want to do is bring their partners down all the time? :mad: Know you've got stuff to do this weekend ahead of your family do, but do try and get some rest too, hun. Take care x

Bunnie - family can be really draining at times and you do need distance at times, as feeling says. My folks are forever living beyond their means, their whole lives have been one financial crisis after another (they obviously never heard of MSE ) and there was only ever myself to pick up the pieces. In the end I learned to keep more of a distance, which was hard, but the only way in the end, for my own sanity, as much as anything else. I had to let them make their own mistakes. Hope the christmas shopping goes ok - get a little treat for yourself x

Miro - let us know how it goes tomorrow hun, with S. Perhaps she feels that if she can chat to your flatmate and play with cats, it's a bit easier for her? Just my thoughts. I'm sure she'll be glad to be spending time in your company tomorrow. See how it goes. I'll be thinking of you, of course.

flis - how's things? Tiffy and Rosie - haven't heard from you for a while, do hope you're both doing ok hunnies; post if you can.

Much love to you all and anyone else my hopeless brain has forgotten.

Got to nip out in a bit, do some chores. Catch you later.
Have a good day,

Love, Saz xxx

Hi all. I haven't posted on this thread for along time and I don't want to hijack anyone's story but I really needed to express how I am feeling. There's no one at home that would understsnd.

I am feeling very down at the moment. I have had episodes of depression throughout my life but they are usually fairly managebale, but rigt now I feel so low I feel i could go to bed and never get up again.

I am married with 4 children aged 15,13,4 & 2. I have been studying for a masters degree over the last year. But that is finished now. I have just left my current job and start a new job using my new skills on monday, with more money. So all should be rosey. So why is my mood so black?

I cry at everything. I don't want to be around anyone - even the kids. I'm fat but can't stop eating and sooo tired.

I have got to get things together and fast!

My new job is a 80 mile round trip and the new salary comes with new responsibility. They will expect me to be this clever smart person that I am not.

I am also going to have to be very organised at home so that everyone eats well and has clean clothes, clean house etc. and Iam also going to have to make sure everyone gets enough attention including my OH ... But I just can't be bothered.

Sorry for the moan. I know I have got lots to be thankful for but why do I feel so bad?

Hi judi and a very warm welcome, hun. The people who post on this thread are all extremely kind, we do our best to support one another wherever we can. I for one have found this invaluable.

Well done on the new job, but don't feel guilty about the fact that depression stops you from being superwoman 1000% of the time, or from thinking everything's 'rosey'. It is something that takes time and treatment to recover from. We cannot give specific advice, but if you haven't done so already, I would suggest you make an appointment to see your doctor and discuss your feeelings with them.

Post here anytime, this thread belongs to everyone. Take care, Saz x

Had a better night and day today.

Ticked my husband off big time and we actually relaxed and enjoyed last night.

Our son is away all weekend and so far quiet on the neighbour front.

I woke up feeling OK then felt odd, was going to go out but brain just closed down and I couldn't be bothered. Caught up on watching vids and enjoyed having peace.

I'll see how it goes tomorrow.

Good to see you on the board, sorry to hear you are having problems.

You may have it all but you sound to be doing it all, putting yourself under big pressure. If you feel you are not keeping up, it can make you miserable.

Concentrate on what really matters, some things can wait.
