Of course............I have another window open, going back to page 63, the day I met 'S'.......to try and gain some inspiration for this song!!!!!

Miroslav

Am I correct in thinking, the term "Wind in her sails" could mean having so much fun, that it's just going with the flow?

Something like that?

Miroslav

To those I sent lyrics too.........

Verse 1 - beginning of line 3........First word is 'One' not 'Old'

Today i've been given my first ever anti-depressants, Prozac. I the first one tentatively about 3 hours ago. I went to the Doctor with a viral infection (my neck glands have swollen) and whilst there I was very brave and told him how ive been feeling.......for years really,but particuarly in the last 6 months.

I work for the NHS and know the symptoms of depression. I have a spinal cord injury which happened in 2001 and I could have endedup in a wheelchair but luckily didn't, which I think has speeded up all the other symptoms to put me in a situation where I am scared to socialise, cry over stupid things, don't recognise the person I am becoming,don't like the person I am becoming feel nothing what so ever emotionally and most of all, don't know how to change it......

I told my GP it felt like a mixture of a bit ball of string unravelling in my head along with a man runing around in my head screaming loudly whilst waving his hands. My GP looked a bit concerned and said 'a man????' Not good I guess.....

I'm a bit scared because I've fought asking for help for probably two years now and do feel a bit like i've 'failed' by giving in, but also a bit relieved that I actually did it and have taken that 'step'.

A lot of the rubbish in my life is all in my DFW diary, I won't bore you all with the details.

Apparently the tablets should help feel see in a few weeks just how low I've got. I know how low I am, but the frightening thing is, it feels normal.

Nice to meet you oakdale_minx
Useless post this, but I'm sorry you feel bad.
Someone who can actually help will be along soon.
Hope you stay and post lots

Evening all, sorry I haven't been round for a bit. Looks like even more 'newbies' have joined us. Well you are all welcome (although it is probably a sad sign as to how much depression and mental illness there is around).

OH is at work tonight, not home until about 10.30. I hate the nights he works like this, I just sit here and can't relax and get myself worked up about silly things instead!

Oakdale Minx - Nice to meet you. Please don't feel that you have 'given up' by asking for help. It is the best thing you could have done. My OH made me feel horrid and guilty for taking my tablets when I first got them, but they have changed me so much, I am a much nicer person to know (and live with) on my tablets than off them.

Did you doctor suggest any counselling or alternative therapies? It always shocks me the number of doctors that put people on medication, but don't offer any other help. I have had two lots of counselling (8 sessions each) that really helped me sort out a lot of my problems and have made me feel much happier.

If you want to chat feel free to, we are all friendly and supportive on this thread.
