I had several words I think it was interesting for the consultant to come to the house for a meeting today as he got to see daughter in her own environment and he had his eyes opened a bit.. she's his golden girl you see and he's never seen what a horror she is to us.. he has now tho.

They put 4 blokes in the house, I recognise one of them cos he lives local to me but I know Carol from somewhere too and can't place her

I'm sort of ok.. think I need a holiday really but it's not likely to happen for a while yet.

Hi gilly!:hello:
How are you today angel?
I told you I'd be back for you!!!:eek:
QUOTE=gillette147;5449477Hi folkes,
Reading this thread creates alot of emotion in me. Sadness for your problems, awe in the strength of you all to deal with it. I can imagine that alot of your perspectives are that you are not coping or are failing. But look at it again. If you had climbed to within 100ft of the summit of Everest then you may not have reached the top (yet). But just look down for a moment. See how far you have climbed. I'm am dumb-struck at your love and bravery daily.
I think that's lovely gilly badger and very true. Don't forget hun - you're part of all this too!;)

As for me.....
-

I'm falling into a pit of doing nothing. Wanting to opt out of life. Not suicide, just hiding. I need to do something about it but it is very hard.
Hun, you don't need to opt out. You're just tired gilly. And as you'll know it's not uncommon for us to feel down for a few weeks and you have been a busy badger as well.:T


This new line of work I'm trying to pursue is looking like such a drop in salary that I don't think/know I can pay the bills. The answer may be to relocate to a cheaper part of the country (coz salary seems uniform all over UK) but that is such a large life change. I'm just so daunted I feel paralysed.
I just had a call about a job. But it's 15k less than I earnt last year. And I didn't have much of my old salary left either. And it's going to be travelling (so large petrol costs). Do I hold out for a closer job or do I just get back into work? It's tough.
I kow you just got some H&S qualifications gilly :T but if you're not going to be happy doing the job because the pay's too low and if it's going to create more problems for you, then maybe you should look at changing fields imho.
It's not any kind of failure because you'll still have that qualification under your belt hun for when the right job comes along.;)
It would be easy to say that you're moving hun for better work options, but they're not going to be any better from what you say. Where would you go? Where would you stay?

Car just failed MOT. At least £200 to find. Grrrr.
See hun - there are some benefits to being agoraphobic!:rolleyes:
Just kidding angel - it must feel that everything is hitting you at once. Just because you can't see any light on the horizon hun, it doesn't mean that it's not coming.;)
Now for the huge slapping....


I'm coming off the ADs. I haven't felt a change in me throughout conselling or two types of ADs. I suspect that in this regard I am unhelpable. My depression isn't that bad. I have coped with it for years and years. I feel my best hope if to change my life and outlook by force of will. I am lethargic. It may be because I am at heart lazy and I've been out of work for 7 months. But I have low sex drive, sleeping way too much. I am hoping that it is the tablets. So for the last two days I have taken a half dose. I have reasons why I don't want to talk to the dr (yet). Please don't hit me Tiff xxx
Gilly hun, imho, you shouldn't call it quits after one short counselling course with someone you couldn't bond with and after trying 2 ad's. Sometimes angel, it takes longer than that. There are so many ads still to be tried hun. You are not unhelpable angel!;)

You say that you've managed for years and that your depression isn't that bad hun - but then you go to list all the things that are problems for you and most of them can be signs of depression. Please persevere gilly hun. Go back for another talk with your dr hun. I know you see it as pointless but that's the illness talking.;) Imho, you seem to be feeling a bit lost right now hun and I wouldn't make such big decisions now. You went to the dr in the first place for help so you must have neede it. I know you're an impatient badgie sometimes angel but it takes time and also, a positive commitment to your mental health care - don't damn it until you've tried it!;)

Take care gilly hun - I hope your mood has lifted somewhat since your post. (I'm on page 39!:j ) Please look after yourself gilly hun. Thinking of you.
Much Love,
Tiff xxx
