Depression

ooh feelie.. might be worth asking in your pharmacy if they can make up your meds into blister packs of a week at a time.. thats what my mum has.. each set of pills is divided into morning, afternoon, evening etc for each day of the week. The chemist does it for her

My pharmacy doesn't do that.
I'm gonna get one of those 99p pill dispenser thingies when I get off my bum and go in to town. I've got it right so far today hehe.

Lidl have some gorgeous smoked cheese slices and they do a lovely boxed Camembert for about 89 pence (Sainsbury do the same thing for £1.69!)
I baked the Camembert in its box at New Year and we dipped bread sticks and pepper strips into it. Yum.

If only I lost weight and cleaned when I felt low!!!!! I just lapse into an apathetic heap!!! Enjoy reading , cooking and coming on MSE though!

Big hug to everyone

I usually gain weight when I'm depressed, but right now I'm enjoying having something to focus on other than my mood - just focus on calories and exercise instead! Only need to loose another stone to be at my lowest weight, which is a nice feeling - 3 weeks or so and I'll be slimmer than ever Really beautiful weather at the moment - I'm walking at 2pm, hope it lasts till then. I've given up with cooking - not cooked for a good few weeks now, just don't want to when I'm depressed. This time round though, I'm having low fat ready meals and steamed veg - last winter we lived on takeaways everynight for about 3 months! I never thought I'd get fed up of curry! Reading is another thing that I tend to loose when I'm depressed, but I'm fighting to keep that. Reading some humour books at the moment - bit easier to focus on than novels. Music is something that always helps too, gotta use my headphones though, OH doesn't like my country music.
Enjoy your lunch, having something nice?

Hi guys, welcome to the newbies :hello: and also big hugs to those who are needing it, if you need to vent / chat please PM me, I'm always on here!

Woke up feeling not bad at all today, first night at ASDA tonight, first night of graft, wont be long before im doing 5 nights > 10 hour shifts and on the Monaco Harbour in my boat :rotfl: :rotfl:

First counselling session tonight, well its an initial appointment just to see what treatment I need and where to go from here really. I'm looking forward to it (is that wrong?) as hopefully I can start my recovery now!

I'm hoping my job is the thing for me too, a lot of my friends have wished me well from Sainsburys even though I have gone to ASDA, my advice is to follow your heart, do what makes you happy, I did the Tax Office because it made my mum happy, she thought it would be good, it just ended up worrying her because I hated it and well I just hated it.

Bless you all, have a good day, and PM me if you require someone to speak to.

AH, I just can't be bothered fighting at the moment, going to take a rest on focus on the only things I seem to be any good at - cleaning and loosing weight. Everything else is just bad, horrible, painful, miserable waste. I don't deserve help, I don't deserve friends, don't deserve the life I've been given.

You DO deserve help

You DO derseve friends

You DO deserve a better life than you have at present.

Hang in there, it will get better

Good luck

Counselling can be very hard and painful work but it is useful and helpful but it might not feel like it at the time or after a session.
