Hi Rose, Mae, Jellycat - in fact the whole crew!
Thinking of you all. I know this sounds like sacrilege but... someone told me that alcohol can actually make you more depressed! :eek: Besides, if I can't drink why should you guys?! Make mine a double lemonade, easy on the lemon!:rotfl:
If I wrote and told you all about my day (serve you right too!;) ), you wouldn't believe it - it's like a bad film script!:rolleyes:
Did you go to the drs Flis? At least work know that once you're on these tablets they do work and that means you can too because you're feeling better. I'm sure they don't want you suffering like this angel.
Good luck with the X-rays Rose.
A dissertation? You fraud!!!;) You can't have depression - I can barely put together a shopping list!!! Seriously though, good luck with it angel - it'll come together when you least expect it and it shows that people with depression are able to contribute to the world - we're more than a list of symptoms!
I've just sneaked on here for a little while to catch up with you all - my 16 year old doesn't think I can use a VCR (well....:o ) lol, let alone surf the net.
Hurray for Mommy Power!:rotfl: Talk later. Be kind to yourself. x

Hello

Today my doctor put me on Citalopram as have been feeling down for a while. I had to take a quiz thing, and chat to her. This is all rather new to me so I apologise. I have just been feeling blank, but sad and teary for ages and I've felt it was coming to a head. I feel like a little weight has come off me now I've been to the doctor, and that I told my mum, who, bless her, knew what I was going to say before I said it.

I was supposed to return to uni in october, to study a phd, I had been hoping to receive a grant which I didn't get. That sort of set my mind in panic mode as I felt a failre and frightened of what to do now. I then heard they would give me a teaching scholarship, which to be honest has made me panic even more, I haven't been able to read in many months (i'm an english lit student so that's a problem:rolleyes:), and when i saw my teaching schedule, I admit I flipped out a bit.

I don't know what to do now. That course ties in to so many feelings of anxiety for me, but am also afraid if I don't do it I won't be left with anything (no job at the moment). Then I think if i do it, i might fail at it. I'm not very good at making decisions lately. I had though i'd decided, all done, but then I thought well i need to start preparing - nothing happened. Normally my brain engages and away i go, I like everything just so. But I haven't done anything,which frightens me a great deal as I am a very get- on-with- it-person.

just wondering what to do now, there is a possibilty I could delay my start to feb but I don't think this will look good to my department, my messing them around and that - but at the moment I feel i can't think straight, and that includes whether I really want to devote another 3 years of my life to studying.

I had some really lovely replies on my other thread, which was under a different name but have now come clean about my 'true' identity:rolleyes: - daft that isnt, and I see many helpful, kind people on here too.

Hi All,

Yes I did go to the Doctor's today. He has put me back on my anti depressant and my anti psychotic as he thinks some of the paranoid thoughts I have had are turning dellusional, which is a slippery slope to where I was before. Anyway, feel a bit better now I have got my tablets, although I know it will take a couple of weeks for them to kick in.

Work is still !!!!!! tho, have actually got an application form for a new job. I know it is not the ideal time to move jobs, but not sure where I am working at the moment is going to help my recovery. Work with 12 girls and there is a lot of !!!!!ing going on. (I work in a Children's Nursery btw). Anyway quite like the look of this other nursery, so fingers crossed.


:wave: Hi Pug and welcome to the gang, I am on citalopram as well, it really works for me, but takes a couple of weeks to kick in. I always jave trouble concentrating when I am depressed, which makes reading books and watching TV impossible. You will find it gets easier on the tablets (not that they are a magic cure, but with me they do really help).

When do you have to make the decision by? If you can give yourself 2-3 weeks on the tablets you might be able to think a bit clearer about it? Obviously no one can decide for you when will be the right time to start and different people react in different ways. If you have too much time off you can dwell on stuff and working can help you get through it, but if the work causes more stress it can make things worse.

Anyway, I'm off to fill in the application form for the new job. See that has cheered me up a bit already!

Evening all hope your all feeling well, bit of a stressful day at work.

Arrived to find a bit of a nasty email from a work colleague telling me how I had done something wrong, which turned out to be a misunderstanding.

Then theres this girl at work I can't stop thinking about but when I do it gets me down, feel like I need a big hug

Just came for a bit of advice as i've been feeling down for a while now but not really sure if its depression or something else and not sure wether to go to the docs or not.

I suppose its been a few months i've felt like a low feeling and i've also been really tired all the time and 'teary' if that makes sense, i just dont seem to have any motivation for 'everyday' things and everything just seems to be getting on top of me.

Also this may sound silly and not linked at all but last month i bought myself some new clothes and shoes and have started wearing make-up more but i think this is more to 'hide' the way i'm really feeling that if i think i look good i'll feel good IYSWIM...

Hmm hard to say, some people go through rough patches in life.

I know the feelings your describing though, especially the lack of energy and feeling teary at the smallest thing.

If you need someone to talk to im only a pm away.

:hello: Hi all,

I had a good 1st day back at work but it fell apart when I came home and found my OH hadn't done any of the jobs he said he would and had even left the breakfast bowls on the dining table. :mad: :mad: :mad:

I had to start all over again and only got to sit down 1/2 hr ago. I'm cream crackered as was up at 6am. :wall:

My mood is ok just found I'm turning into Mrs shoutypants at the moment and don't want to. :sad:

Sorry for the rant.

Hope everyone is ok today. If not big hugs.:grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug:

Jen - what was Mr Jen doing today?

Time for a rota, methinks!

Or no treats!

jen30_2

My OH works from 1:30pm till usually about midnight. However he is at home in the mornings and promised to do some tidying up for me. I've got home today and he has done his bit - pots & hovering.:)

I do need to get more organised. My house depresses me.:mad: We have too much stuff and not enough space. 3 kids have an awful lot of clothes, toys etc... Have been trying to have a clear out - taken 7 binbags of clothes to charity shop:D but doesn't seem to have made a difference.:sad:

Hope everyone is feeling ok today. Take care

Jen
