depression

I am leaving this thread

It has become a hostile place. Not a place for someone who feels low. I thought I had mates here but I am wrong.

Depression is an anger and I was expressing mine. It was not directed at anyone but I do feel I am being vilified for expressing my feelings at how I have been treated on here and elsewhere.

Gawd it's been a nightmare trying to post on here.. kept getting glitch messages!

CC.. a difference of opinion does not mean we can't be mates.. how boring would it be if we agreed on everything all the time? we all have the right to express how we feel about things, whether it be anger or sadness or whatever, just as you do.

No one wants you to leave, least of all me.. seems we're all having a sh1tty time at the moment but maybe you could read back at some of your recent posts and see that it did seem as tho you're villifying others for not wishing you a happy new year personally and for expressing an opinion about your comments on that.

CC you're a very nice person but you have to accept that while you feel angry or hurt at others comments at times, so others feel angry and hurt at things you say sometimes. Swings and roundabouts innit?

We're all here to support one another aren't we? and part of that involves being honest doesn't it?

A lot fo times it seems you take things personally when they arent even directed at you.. the happy new year greetings.. the weather - as if it had been deliberately bad to spoil things for YOU, your neighbours.. perhaps they were just busy and didn't bother sendng cards out this year.. I didn't, but I did send out texts to wish people a happy new year, I wasn't be sarcastic nor hypocritical in doing that which is what you suggested your neighbours were doing.

I also have my doubts that they are deliberately trying to scupper your house sale plans, maybe they're just getting on with their lives and don't realise how noisy and annoying they can be so much of the time.

This is not a serious enough issue to fall out over in my opinion, I'm sorry you feel that way but as I said before, sometimes I think you do tend to interpret things more personally and harshly than they are intended.

God I need sleep!

My depression has cycles within it from when I feel hyper to when I feel rock bottom. My sleeping pattern is affected too because when I feel hyper I just can't sleep even thought I want to. I have been referred to a consultant psychiatrist but the appointment is not til March. My doctor wants to keep me on me medication til then (Dosulepin 125mg).

But I can't bloody sleep and now I'm cold, shivering and feel like a zombie. I have tried lavender, camomile, warm milk and even Whittards Dreamy Hot Chocolate drink. !!!!!! all.

Anyone have any other advice?

You do have friends here and I agree with blinky that everybody would like you to stay.

I hope things improve for you in this new year and that all of us can feel that we are having a fresh start.

Need to go and find out if all our family can go to my father's memorial next week as DDs will be heartbroken if there are not enough places for them.

OK people - I think we need a group hug here.
No-one should leave, and we all care.

We should all be allowed a bad post or a bad day. If we can't do it on here then alot of us would have no-where.

I have love for all the people involved in this spat and you are ALL great people. Please move on and lets get back to our normal thread.

This thread is wonderful - I would have left mse by now without it. It's the 1st place I come. My posting has dwindled to ones on here and very little else over the last couple of weeks.

I feel I have friends, people who will listen and I feel I have an obligation to be a part of this thread. Everyone on here should be proud of themselves. And to be doing this amongst all your own personal problems makes it even more remarkable.

God bless you all (and me too)

i have been pretty lucky that i have not had the experiance of NOT being treated for physical problems, medical histories can often be riddled with innacurracies by GP's physicians, psychiatrists who do 'get it wrong'





i feel for both of you, girls have said to me previously that i am 'wierd' but they are not even in my league of understanding, everyone is diffarent from each other its just finding the right people to mix with to bring out the best in you.

i know how she feels because im in pretty much a simaler position, im a guy who cant get a girl, for some reason or another they are not attracted to me, even though i dont show my illness ofcourse it bothers me, people my age have had many girlfreinds, but it doesent happen for me, but its not the end of the world if you cant, if you have got it cherish it and show her you will support her, dont pressure just take time and be gentle with her, if your not loved you eventually believe you never will be....

My GP's are a nightmare. Every physical pain is a 'mental issue' if they can't see it.

I'm in this for the long run, however much it may hurt. I think this will take a long time, if at all

I would imagine that S very much wants to be open with you. But don't forget she, like you, has been hurt a lot in the past and is wary of being hurt again, so it will take time to gain her trust - even though you know and we know that your intentions are honourable. She will need to work through that process on her own timetable, whatever that is, and as undoubtedly frustrating as that is for you... big hugs sxxx

I hope she wants too, and I hope she realises i'm going to wait for her.

Make sure she knows it Miro, and keep re-assuring her.

Hi miro!:hello:
Yes hun - I am taking it myself. It is not just prescribed for schizophrenia (which I do not have) but also small doses can be prescribed for anxiety. It is not addictive unlike some meds are. I can't say not being a professional, why s is taking it, but don't jump to any conclusions angel - no matter how likely they seem to be. Sometimes a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing can't it? It can be so easy to misinterpret things hun. Hopefully she'll tell you if she wants to but don't ask her about it because that will bring up all her trust issues and she'll possibly get really upset. A lot of schizophrenics can lead a fairly normal life with medication and support so even if she does have it, it may not destroy the chances of a relationship. We all tend to be very sensitive when it comes to our mental ill health. You don't want her thinking you're spying on her. You have to respect her privacy angel and to a degree, do as you would with any relationship - she'll let you in when she's ready. take care hun.
Much Love,

Tiff :wave: How are you today?

Whatever she takes it for, i'm not concerned about. I'll let her tell me if she wants too, although I would like to know obviously, so I can be knowledged on the subject.
