Depression II

Hi ethel!:wave:
You are really going through it, aren't you hun?
That red lump you mentioned earlier sounds like it might be a reaction to an insect bite maybe? What did the dr say about it hun?

quote=EthelBloggs;
I was with the consultant for two hours yesterday :eek: it seems that protein is leaking out of my veins and into something else, forgot the word. Anyway, that makes me very slow to heal if I have a cut or anything which can be risky and make me prone to infections, sooo.... I've got to have up to a year of antibiotics and protective, constrictive bandaging :eek: and some kind of bodysuit thing, which is being made to measure. That'll be ready in 2-3 weeks she said. On the plus side, it's like having a personalised set of magic pants so I'll look trimmer
I'm sorry to hear that hun.:o At least there's something they can do about it. You are such a fighter angel!:T

I need one of Gok Wan's miracle pants too! It is a great show imho - no snide comments like Thinny and Chewzannah!
I have one problem with this though - once you've been wearing your magic suits and you meet someone and you start a relationship etc, and then things get intimate, how will he react when I let myself out of the magic suit?:eek: Gravity will put it all back where it was and the poor soul will be traumatised for life!:D :rolleyes:

The cat is like having a toddler about the place, he's into everything and he's very naughty, eats 2 weeks worth of food in a few days cos he whines at everyone, then they think he's not been fed and feed him again and is generally a pain in the bum but he is lovely so it's forgiveable, lol.
That's right - blame the cat!

Me and b/f had a big talk a few weeks ago, and he realised that he was being very unfair to me and there's been a massive improvement, it feels like I got the man I originally met back. I just hope it stays this way now
I'm so happy for you angel. I hope he'll finally be the b/f you deserve.:T

Things like facebook and friendsreunited n all that are fake, people only put the good stuff on there hun, they aren't going to boast about the crap times they have are they? Don't beat yourself up over it, you're lovely and genuine and beautiful inside and out - a lot of them are not. You have nothing to despise yourself for.
I agree hun. Imho, the way to look at these pages is like this - 'Who'd want to be in a set of photos of people like them? It's a collection of examples of everything I'm glad I'm not and how not to be a human being!'
As you say ethel, they don't put the reality down do they?
Have some fun guys - print off the photos of the ones who treated you the worst and draw silly faces on them, make up names and write blurbs with the real facts in for them! It'll be like grafitti therapy!;)

Daughter has her appeal tribunal today to try and overturn her section, I'm not so sure that she's ready yet but we'll see. She's managed to convince some of the doctors that she's almost ready to be discharged and they're working towards her being out of hospital by the end of June or so... it all feels a bit rushed and a bit false really.. but we'll see what happens today.
I did think of you angel. If you're unsure yourself hun - and you know her best!;) - speak to the drs beforehand and tell them what you think. Good luck sweetie. Feel better soon angel - thinking of you.
Much Love,
Tiff xxx

slowlyfading, I hope that you have a great weekend back at home Look after yourself.

Ethel, I really hope that the bandaging helps with your condition.

It must be very worrying for you. On one hand you're obviously pleased that she's no longer sectioned but on the other hand you're extremely concerned as to whether it's a good thing or not. Were you present at the appeal? Did you have to provide some kind of statement as to what you think e.t.c? Big (((HUGS))) to you xxx

I hope you get a good nights sleep.

geminilady, :hello: hun, I put on a front because I don't like admitting to others (colleagues/family/CPN) that I'm not OK. Telling my CPN/psychiatrist that I'm not feeling any better won't achieve anything. It's easier to say everything is fine.

There isn't really anyone at work whom I can go out with for a drink or anything

I'm quite similar to you. I have no proper friends where I live as such, no female friends at all. I get on better with guys generally. I find it hard to maintain friendships.

I hope you have a nice time with your friend on Friday. It will probably do you the world of good What do you plan to do?

Do you know what it is that is making you unhappy?

You'll probably find the man of your dreams when you least expect it i.e when you aren't looking I miss not having a boyfriend but sometimes I think they are a lot more hassle than their worth. All my ex's have in one way or another hurt me, used me, pretended to care/love me. At the end of the day I don't need their !!!!

You're a great person, so I'm sure Mr. Right is out there somewhere

Have you been up to much recently? What did you do over the bank holiday weekend? Any plans for this weekend?

(((HUGS))) xxx

Tiff, You seem very busy atm. I hope you are looking after yourself. Are you looking forward to going to Harrogate? Is it like a break/holiday type thing? Have a (((HUG))) Tiff. xxx

:hello: learning_to_drive, It's lovely to see a post from you. Things seem to be going well for you You're sounding very positive. Good luck with your new job on Monday. I hope it goes really well.

andipandi, How are you? How was your day?

Hey Katie, How did the appointment with the psychologist go? Glad you sorted out the problem with your freeview box. Did you watch Katie and Peter last night?

juno, You're in high demand lol Which job are you going to accept?

mclaren, It sounds like you're exhausted. Are you able to take a few days off from work to rest? Have you been back to your Doctor?

Do you have any idea what is causing you to feel so low?

You've got hobbies-football and photography which I know you love and are very good at. You do an amazing job looking after your Mum, which I'm sure she greatly appreciates. You help your Gran too. Your work involves caring/helping others. Look at home many people rely on you to help them get by each day. They would be totally lost without you.

(((HUGS)))

My afternnoon training yesterday was very tiring. I had to work in the morning and then travel down to Brighton in the afternoon. It took us ages to get there. By the time we found the place I was tired and really couldn't be bothered. I did learn some stuff though, so that was good now I've just got to put it into practice.

I was woken up this morning by 3 police officers banging on the door, it's a wonder he didn't break it! My brother got arrested no idea what that is about as they wouldn't tell us.

Karrie

Just a quick post this morning. Hope everyone is ok. Will read through later on today.

I am concerned about my heart missing a beat. The side affects of the meds include this but over the last few days it's been constant and I am now getting worried. As it's listed as a common side affect I don't know wether to speak to the docs or not.

I was all ready to moan, and then I got a phone call about a job interview. And then as soon as I put the phone down, I got another call about another one!

That's great news - I hope it works out fine

Tulip

:hello: everyone,

Hope all is well,I am off to my daycentre today for lunch and then a coffee with friends afterwards hopefuly.

Karrie Its best to go to the Gp if your heart is missing a beat just to be on the safe side especially if the meds you are on has that particular side effect listed.

RBK My appointment with psychologist went ok only I find things so hard to chat to her about that are personal and I cried tears.I think yesterday I was feeling so negative and at 12pm when she was with me I immediatly felt low,I told her my parents didnt love me enough but when I spoke to them after they were surprised I had said that but not shocked and they said they did love me enough as their daughter.I think I dont value myself enough or be happy as me.The old me seems to have gone and I cant seem to find my way back to the light of the tunnel.Why is it easy to say it on here and not to them face to face? Like you RBK I seem to put on a front to friends saying I am ok when inside I am not and when I am at home I retreat into my own shell and I also seem to dwell on things alot and think everything is not right when it is.I did see Katie and Peter the Next Chapter last night,2 weeks today I see Katie Price at Exeter Whsmiths.RBK its a pity there is no one you can go and meet up for coffee with and a chat.

Anyway must go and catch a bus to the daycentre

I will chat later

*hugs* to those that need it


lots of love and light,

Katie xxx

I work basicly 24/7 - cant take any time off. Being a carer, is not an easy job; but its so much worth it. (im not at the stage where i am going to top myself - im not that bad lol - few bad thoughts but nothing as dark as i have had in the past)

I have a doctors appointment - last time i went, he said that stress was not good for me, my bp was nearly out of control and i had to try control them. I can feel my asthma kicking in strong so i am about to call and get an appointment for monday if i can.

I do hope your brother is'nt in trouble! It's not a nice experiance to have the law at the door even if they are there just to ask if you seen anything (happened a couple of times) but never in "authority"

You can go down to the station and they should tell you why he has been arrested. I would'nt worry though, it's prob about something in nothing - ie fine or something.

Hi mac!:wave:
Another very talented bunny in our midst!:T That's great mac.;)
Are you feeling any better now it's all over angel? Dentists and Tiffs don't mix either! _pale_
And this is just one example of why!:eek:

Poor guy's been single ever since!

As the guys have suggested hun, you could even visit your gp before an appt with the dentist and explain and they might give you a tablet or two to help get you through. I know dentists are becoming more unwilling to use anaesthetic or sedation in case of side effects. Just make sure the dentist knows if the dr does give you anything to take.;)

You can also go to your local hospital's A&E if it gets too bad. They have dentists on call there for emergencies.

You could also ask your gp for a referral to the hospital dentist if it's too much to bear angel.;)
I actually had 2 teeth out in the hospital - sure, I went for an ingrowing toenail, but what the heck!:rotfl:
No seriously, I really did have it done in hospital and it was a better experience. Hope you're feeling better angel. Take care hun.
Much Love,
Tiff xxx

I dont do well in hospitals - the second i get a sniff of that "domestic" smell - im on the floor lol. I am fine till next month so i have a few weeks of freedom

I'll talk to GP about getting something for my anxiaty - its bad normally all the time but when it gets nearer dentist time it is out of control
