Hi Guys,

Sorry haven't been about for the last couple of days, but it looks like things have been pretty quiet.

Have been ebaying everything that is not nailed down in my house!! Made £85this weekend, which I was really pleased with.

I feel like I am starting to get on top of things. We have implemented a cleaning rota for the flat and it is looking a lot better now. At least I am no longer embarrased if someone comes round!

Have written letters to all our creditors about our debt situation, so am just awaiting the replies, but at least I feel I am doing something positive there.

Yesterday I went down the beach for an hour and just sat in the sunshine reading my book. It was lovely and so relaxing. Unfortunately looking at the very cloudy sky, don't think I will be doing that today.

My physio is really pleased with my progress and I can walk without crutches now, but I am having a bit of trouble with stairs, slopes and balancing. He has booked me in for a 40 minute exercise session with a nurse on Thursday to work on those things, but he said he doesn't see any reason if things keep improving as they are, why I can't go back to work next week (yeah!).

Phoned up work yesterday and told them I might be back next week. Also asked if I could book my holiday (very cheeky I know, but I have 12 days to use up and they have to be used by end of August!). She was going to get back to me. Fingers crossed it will be ok, so we can go ahead and book it.

Sorry, have rambled on for ages and didn't mean to. Feeling quite good at the minute tho, which is strange, but really nice.

Hope you are all ok.

Hey folks

I am back in college from 2 of the best weeks of my life. I had forgotten how good it felt to feel happy for a substantial amount of time. I am back in college today, It's strange, I feel really teary and nervous about being back. What really does worry me is will i ever overcome depression or will my life be just strewn with little bits of happiness.

On another note i got a letter from the local psychlogical clinic asking if i still needing CBT. does this mean that I am not far from being seen?

Thanks

Money issues again, after all I did to sort myself out, I dont deserve a chance really, sort myself out, people help me and im back in the same boat, im so so !!!! with money.

I needed this time off to sort myself out I accept that, but it has taken longer, but why dont i ever think to budget or only ever think of money ideas (ebay laptop that i dont use, mystery shops etc) when I am struggling>?

Hi everyone,

Well am really pleased. Just got back from weight watchers and i have lost 2lbs this week, so that makes 8.5lbs all together. Am really pleased. I will lose that first stone before we go on holiday. (Not quite enough to get me into a bikini tho!!)

Rose - so nice to hear from you. Can totally sympathise. Cast and crutches is no fun at all. Try not to do too much, get people to wait on you a bit and use the time to relax and let yourself recover.

Does this feeling of despair ever go away? I can't stop crying. I have driven for 22 years and now even getting in the car makes me nervous. I am doubting my ability to drive? Why? For the first time ever, I think I am going to have to tell work that I suffer from depression.:mad: No-one knows but it's got to the point I am not coping at all. Cheery face when son is around, floods of tears when he's not. It's getting harder and harder to cope. Why do I insist on not sharing my illness with people? I feel because it's not a physical illness people will think I am useless and can't cope. My son's school appeal in end of May, all our jobs are in question and may be redundant in August. I tell people "what will be, will be" but inside it's tearing me apart. My son was surrounded by the usual kids this weekend and asked for money. I keep looking at the bigger picture and what it will be like if he has to go to school with these kids. I want to curl up and sleep and sleep and sleep. Shut out all these feelings. I have a docs appt this morning. Don't know why - got AD's last week. She was brill and said to go back if I am struggling. I know it will take at least two weeks for them to kick in but I've never felt this level of despair before. I haven't told my partner. I haven't told my friends. I haven't told my mum. The house is a mess. I look a mess and I just don't give a damn. I am worried that she will sign me off work but if she does, I DON'T want them to know the reason. I couldn't cope with them knowing.

Sorry to go on I will stop now otherwise I will write War and Peace all over again.

Hi Karrie, I'm so sorry you're feeling so low at the moment - it does get better - that is what keeps us all going.The AD's should kick in soon. I've had the same trouble on and off for years - there is light at the end of the tunnel!!
