Depression

learning_to_drive

Bit of advice, work said I could have some time off for a docs appointment earlier, now after speaking to boss they have said no and asked me to change it, however I am going to an interview for a permanent job.

What do I do? The problem is that I have had some time off earlier in the week because of my girlfriend going to the docs and i didnt inform people because i didnt want to think about it, now they are being funny, whereas all the other staff have had time off for dental appointments and everything.

Make sure you keep posting how you are feeling. Don't keep it all in. Just vent on here. We are here to support you! Don't forget that.

Who is making these calls?

its hard to know where is safe to post these days - as i do not know if things put here, will go back and vice versa..... but the person who done this, i did know for a while. (i wont say who incase, but pm me if u want to know)

I am trying to just forget about it all - its hard, but i am just trying to move on.

last time i got the abusive phone calls, year and half ago, i ended up slashing my wrists. This time, ive not - so i am pleased about that

This is classed as harrassment and is against the law :mad:

If this person has got nothing better to do than harrass you, then they are very sad indeed.

Well done for dealing with it in a dignifyed manner :T

You have proved you are the better person!;)

Hi mac!:hello:
How are you this morning hun?

quote=mclaren
I feel more naked since posting lol (eek! have i got clothes on?! oh i have! few!). I have always played my cards close to my chest - but i do feel lighter... (have i lost weight? hmmm) anyway - its hard to explain but it feels weird now, people knowing the full story behind the loon lol

I know i got a HUGE hill to climb - and im on the start of it but i think, well i HOPE i can get to the top and not fall back down again. (actually i'd prefer escilator cos its easier lol)
As I said hun, what you shared has made no difference to me. It was a very brave thing to do.
You feel lighter because you're not having to hide how you feel or struggle angel. It's a really heavy load to carry when you keep all your problems to yourself hun. Of course it feels strange hun because you haven't opened up with your own problems, worrying about what other people will think. You are still using that good sense of humour though hun.:T That'll help you get to the top of the hill angel.
You are not a loon mac. There is no diagnosis that I've heard of, that includes the term loon!:D
We worry about what others, even professionals, might think of us, or call us when actually, we are probably the only ones talking about ourselves like that. You have to be nicer to yourselves guys.

Ive not printed out that big post as it would take him years to read but i have put bullitian points that i think he should know.
That's great mac!:T It must feel good to have a plan instead of sitting there worrying angel.;)

Ive alreayd been tested for diabetis but came back clear (was very thirsty all the time) but asthma i think is the cause of that /quote
I was just using that as an example mac as I'm sure you know hun. What I was trying to say in my clumsy Tiffy way,:rolleyes: , was that we can't expect to get well if we aren't being completely honest with the drs. They can't treat us for what they don't know about.;)
Good luck with the drs hun - will be thinking of you!
Much Love,

Hi ethel!:hello:
Good to hear from you angel.
quote=EthelBloggs
hiya everyone :hello:
Sorry I've not been around but at first I was very ill and now there's more problems with my daughter.
She was home for the weekend and although we could see she was having difficulty managing herself, it went reasonably ok, then I had a call to say that she'd run away and been brought back by the police and then tried to suffocate herself with a carrier bag tied around her neck. When that failed because she was discovered, she then tried to cut her veins open again. The hospital sent a car to take me to the new hospital she's moved to for a respite which is a very swish private place in Chelsea.
Not sure how long she'll be there as there is a tribunal tomorrow because she appealed against being sectioned, so it depends on the outcome of that I think.
Oh angel - sorry you've had it so rough! This was all you needed after being so poorly. You must still be recovering from that alone bless you. I'm so sorry to hear about DD hun. How's DS doing?

Soo.. as I'm sure you can imagine, I'm flippin exhausted and pretty much at the end of my tether with it all Not much time for being online at all really, and when I do have the time I tend to conk out and have a nap
I'm not surprised you've not had time to post hun. You need to be taking naps angel - you're whirling round like Taz! How's b/f? Is he around to help hun?
Congrats on your lovely news flissy!! Welcome all the newcomers and mahooosive huggs to all of you!!
Lots of love xxxxxxxxx/quote

Good luck with the tribunal today angel.
Have you found your local Mental Health Advocate yet hun? I'm sure you haven't had the time. Remember, they'll know all there is to know (or should do!:rolleyes: ) about various rights etc.
I agree, I don't think she'll succeed with the appeal either hun and if she does, then the drs need to be sectioned! Bless you ethel - you do an amazing job!:T :A
I'm thinking of you hun - keep us posted when you can ok?
Much Love,
Tiff xxx

well guys i am absolutly awful. I am the lowest ive been since the last time i dun summit.

im petrofied. I just got some abusive phonecalls. i did call the police, and my network providor. police said to call NWP so i did. I cant think straight right now - im shaking still, im scared.

Hi mac!:hello:
Well done for posting angel. The guys have given you great advice.;)
That must have been horrible hun. If you call your operator, you can tell them you've received abusive phone calls and they will monitor and trace them and block them. They have a special unit for doing this mac.
It's really upsetting to get phone calls like that angel - you're bound to be upset and you have a good reason for feeling that way.
I know it's hard hun, but try not to fret - they are nasty phone calls but they are not with you in person - you're safe mac!

If you have a phone that displays the number that's calling you, you don't need to answer it if you don't recognize the number.

Also, there's 1571 with your phone company and it will take answerphone messages if you don't answer your phone. If you have this service, dial 1571 after the phone stops ringing. If it was someone important, they would leave a message and you could get back to them hun.

And if you dial 1471 after it stops ringing, it will give you the time of the last call to your phone and the phone number too if it's not been witheld by the caller.

The phone companies take this problem very seriously angel, so they can help to stop it if it happens again.
Very importantly mac - well done for not hurting yourself! Don't let anyone put you in that terrible position hun.
I hope this has helped a little bit angel. Ok, so now it's a new day and hopefully, you'll feel a bit better mac. Post if you need us ok?;) Take care angel.
Much Love,
Tiff xxx

((((((((((hug))))))))))) Mc,Don't be scared the cowards who make abusive calls are just that cowards and all they are capable of are making silly calls.It is a little hard to comment with no details such as was it someone you know?if so you did the right thing in calling the police.I have to go to work in 20 mins so hope there is someone around for you to talk to.If not i am sure you know about the samaritans they are ALWAYS there at the end of the phone and if you have turned yours off because of the abusive calls you could use a phone box.Hang in there, read your other post and as Tiff said you are still the same mc,a great member of this thread who is always there for others and i think you were very brave to post it.

Hi gem!:hello:
Bravo hun - well said!:T :A
I'm sure we're all supporting mac just as we do each other.
How are you hun? I'm sorry things aren't going well for you and n sweetheart. You so deserve a real love and not a part-time one.
I hope someone comes along soon who can help make you put n to the back of your mind by giving you the relationship you deserve. I know you care about n so much angel, so I'm not dismissing your feelings gem.;)
Hope you're well angel - thinking of you.
Much Love,
