Depression

Hi Ethel xxx

I felt good on tuesday. I'd read/quized myself on the easy half of course and felt i had got alot of it. Felt I could get thereabouts by exam time.

Today I read my revision cards on the more difficult section .....worried now, i have hardly any of it in my brain. I think the stress is partly my blockage today.

Feel there are 4 chunks to deal with: easy half, 2 chucks worth on hard half, and exam technique (this board write really woolley questions. I'm just going to try to learn model answers to alot of previous questions).

Just hope today is an anomoly and I can get back to form tomora.

I see your life is as full as usual.
Maybe writing a book about it and cashing in is your best route.
Hollywood would eat your life up with a spoon.

Morning chaps!

I've finally made a massive step and quitted my job were i was being bullied by boss. It was such a relief telling my senior boss, that i wanted to leave and instead of working for 4 weeks instead of my normal shift she let me go at the end of this shift. i am so happy:j
I can imagine that took a lot of courage lrs. I'm glad you're happy with the result hun. Did you tell your senior boss why? What was her reaction?
I don't know your situation angel but you may wish to go to CAB and talk to them about the situation as you may be able to claim constructive dismissal if you left your job due to the pressures of bullying. I don't know the ins and outs and it's always best to see the experts.;)

but because i was from work and college i;ve got a massive backlog of college work, I am really anxious about going back to college tomorrow morning and seeing people I really don't want to see. I've been off work and college with stress and i've literally stayed in my bedroom watching telly for the past 2 weeks. I've been taking Cipralex 20mg since August 2006 and prior to that i was Escitolpram 10mg from January 2006 but my GP doubled it due to further problems.
May I ask who you don't want to see at college lrs? There is a lot of student support available. Is it because you are so far behind hun? At least with work not being an issue right now, you'll have less pressure and more study time.
Also if you are so affected by depression that are unable to work/study angel, again I'd suggest talking to your CAB and/or your CPN about the possiblity of claiming DLA, especially as this is a long term problem from what you wrote.
I don't know how often you see your CPN hun, but if you're isolating yourself this much and feel so stressed, maybe you should get in touch with them. I'd also suggest going to see your gp hun and get a check up with them to see if there's any changes to meds needed.

I've also been seeing my CPN since april 2006 and I am waiting for CBT which seems to be taking ages but i've been warned about the wait.
The waiting lists for anything connected with mental health treatments show how badly underfunded this area is. Of course hun, if your health is worse, you could be reassessed and moved up the list if necessary. Either way angel, it's time to get in touch with your medical team instead of spending 2 weeks in your room. You deserve better than that.;)

Basically i am just wanting to look at ways of filling the gap in my time that has been left from my part-time work. I am looking for any help and advice and it will be greatly appreciated
It's a good idea to stay active if you can lrs. And of course I'll be among many to suggest some form of voluntary work.;) Contact your local volunteers bureau hun and see what they have on offer. It could be anything from reading books to tape for blind people, riding for the disabled, working in their or another charity's offices to working in the high street charity shops. There really is a huge variety of voluntary things you could do.
Your CPN will know too, of options in your area that will be suited to your health needs. It's probably best to get back in touch with your medical team hun and then take it from there. You don't want to jump into something that you won't enjoy if you're feeling poorly because then that will curb your enthusiasm and it will feel like a negative experience. Hope this helped you lrs! Take care.
Much Love,

Morning everyone...I havent been posting recently as I felt you guys all had bigger problems than me and I shouldnt be "burdening" you with mine!

My sleep pattern is a nightmare, though the last two nights I have had a good sleep, fingers crossed that's the start of it sorting itself out.I have the Gyn on Tuesday to discuss how to treat my condition-got myself worried sick over that as per usual lol.

Hope everyone has an okish day, hugs and fairy dust.

Hi cm!:hello:
Yes I've just been through a dose of that hun and the guys on here set me straight on that one - you are important too hun!
Besides, if you don't open up to us, you won't be well enough to look after us will you hun?!:D

Sleeplessness is going to make your mood lower hun and it's completely natural to be anxious over the gyn appt. Tuesday'll be here when it gets here hun, so try not to fret until they give you something to fret about. Easier said than done I know. If it was something very serious hun, before you knew it, they'd have pulled you in by your fairy wings already! I hope that's a little consolation. We need your fairy dust cm!:A

Keeping it all inside is going to make you feel worse cm and you're part of the family here now, so don't hold back. You're with friends hun and we're always here for you too.

I haven't got any fairy dust to hand angel but will this do?...



Thinking of you angel.
Much Love,

Never heard of him.
But like him I do have clipped lapidary prose that compresses worlds into pages.

Hi LRS

Big step quitting your job, so well done on making the decision to do so. :T
Its awful enough to be bullied but being bullied in work is awful as you dread going in and your confidence gets knocked, well done and im glad you are now finished

Look at going back to college as a fresh start, you havent seen people in ages, so go in there with ya head up high, knowing you have done the right thing for you.

i only got up at 130 today totally exhausted so i reckon ya ok to stay in bed, when we feel unwell its natural to want to lie in bed, same goes with depression. we can feel exhausted, the strain, and physically drained.

take care

and look forward to college dont put it off
