Well went to the doctors and it went better this time, im now back on meds to help with feeling low and anxisety and he has assured me I will get help.

Im due back in 4 weeks for meds again and to check my referal status, the only thing is that the side effetcs from prozac weren't great last time I was on them and I don't know if i should tell work i may not be myself.

Hi Slayerx - was thinking of you today - so glad you didn't eat this doctor and that things went better. Well done you! :T
As I'm sure you know angel, there are many alternatives to Prozac so just keep an eye on your symptoms and any problems, get straight back to the drs. Sounds like he's switched on enough to monitor you regularly with your 4 week appt.
Here you go - why not mention it just to your Manager or Supervisor hun? They would not be allowed to disclose this info to any of the staff without your permission due to the Data Protection Act - plus if things are a little hard-going at first, they'll be forewarned and can't say you didn't warn them that you might be off colour possibly for a while. Plus they've seen a previous recovery from you so they shouldn't hold it against you, especially as you've been responsible enough to get to the drs early.
And if they have a problem with you having depression, then that's their problem - not yours! It's a recognized illness - you hold your head up girl!:p
Just another 2p's worth from Tiff - that's 14p you owe me!:rotfl:
Take care angel x

Hi feeling good - you may want to check with CAB as to whether that's legal - depends on a whole bunch of stuff. At least you're trying. Best wishes

That's great flis - congratulations!!!:beer:

hello all
hows everyone?
betty, Mrs A, Tiff, feeling good.

Well done flis on your new job. :T :T :T :T :T , very happy for you
hows it going?

Slayerx well done for going back to the doctor it can be hard to go back after having a negative time previously. i think if your going to worry about work then you should tell them, and then it would be one less thing to woz about.

nice to see we have some new and past faces, miroslav, and bunglegirl welcome.

and i aint forgotten you Tiff, im still wanting to know how your doing?
i havent been alright recently but that is a whole long story which i will bore yas with in another post and after me tea. lol.

hope your all well

Hey Rosie - how are you angel? Looks like a few of us went AWOL for a couple of days! You found me - even tho' I was walking barefoot so you wouldn't hear me. :rotfl:

Between you and me :rolleyes: I've had a bit of a hard time recently but methinks you probably guessed that!;)

Big welcome to new and old friends! I'm sure we'll all be good support for each other - people are really great on this board. In a way, it's a shame it has to exist isn't it? Still we're all survivors and in some kind of way we're trying to manage our depression - so well done us! That's the end of Sensible Tiff for tonight!:o

Hoping Bettyboop, flis, rose, and the whole gang, have managed to win through another day. We can always scr*w up tomorrow - there's no time limit on it eh?:rotfl:

What's everyone been up to? Much love to all

You know what slayerx, in my defence, i am a natural blonde! I hope you weren't offended - if so sorry:o
I don't know why I made that assumption?! I'm a tired Tiff tonight. You can't tell from post names the gender of most people.
I know what it was, I was in a rush trying to post before Rose came and got my story out of me - that's my story an' I'm sticking to it!;)
About the 20p...Hang on a minute,:rotfl: I'll just go and check down the sofa.....:rotfl:

Slayerx

No worries thanks again for your continued support means a lot to me

rose07

thanks tiff

yeah i figured something was up wid ya, seems silly but i know when you not ok, and im gonna get to the bottom of it sooner or later. river deep mountain high hun

ok so me, well have been seriously unwell recently, my eyes have been bad, health conditions all over the place and me just not been ok.

my bro goes away to uni on saturday and even though i am soo proud he is there i am also very sad to see him go, as he is my rock here at home. ps he is going to warwick aint that where you are tiff? can you tell me if its a nice place? and keep an eye on him? lol.

my mum keeps calling me useless and well really down things, which are just not helping me at the moment, she is also being very abusive she was like this when i was younger and i self harmed to get what i felt out.
i know this sounds awful but my life would be soo much easier without her around, awful i know as you all prob have a child somewhere. lol
but i cant cope with her, i have a battle with her, a battle with myself and a battle with jobs. :eek: . yes its stressful but hey wouldnt be life if there werent challenges and stresses.

it will also be nearly 3years since i was attacked, this is giving me nightmares etc. . .

there is more but thats good to get out for now.

i was wondring if someone can tell me what ECT is? (hope this is the correct wording?)

and if anyone has suffered from PTSD?

hope you all ok. xxxx

Yep Rosie - takes one to know one right?;) People can't see what's wrong when you're a bright, bubbly Tiff. I just didn't think you guys needed to hear my problems when you've all got your own.

Rosie, Warwick is beautiful - has a magnificent mediaeval castle - really lovely area - he'll love it! What's he reading at Uni? Warwick is in the heart of Warwickshire :doh: (see the blonde explanation in reply to slayerx!:rolleyes: ) and steeped in history, science and culture. I'm about 45 mins away from there. I got to ask you - how old are you Rosie? PM me with the answer if you don't want anyone else to know. Sometimes your age can get you different kinds of help, that's all. Also, may I ask why you need to know about ECT?

Well I am so sorry to hear about the home situation hun - once I know more, maybe I can suggest a few things. You'll be pleased to know that PTSD is one of my problems - you sneaked up on me - no fair! lol

Every soul on here has opened up their hearts and bared their souls and I sit here trying to help and keeping my secrets & you all probably think that's a bit of a cheek and I apologise. I hope you believe that any advice I have given was from a wanting to help attitude .

So for anyone who is feeling really down, don't read my post tomorrow 'cos Tiff is finally going to post her story. It's only fair. Might be some more answers for you there too Rose - which is one reason why I'm telling my stuff.
So don't say I didn't warn you all!;) Bring your own ice cream and chocolate and popcorn!:rotfl:
Much Love and a goodnight
