Depression II

Thanks for the support dmg, it means a lot. I'm currently studying, so I suppose the essays should be my distraction, but I really can't motivate myself to do them. I'm just spending hours on mse & msn, as it's easier than having to bother connecting with anyone 'real' (no offence to anyone here, but YKWIM I hope?).

My son is absolutely great, and understands totally when Mummy has a 'sad sam' day. Just lately though, he's had to be more understanding than usual, and that just piles on the guilt, as I'm hardly spending any time with him.

Would it be possible to ring your GP and speak to him on the phone about what's wrong? My GP offers a 'call-back' service, where the GP will ring you after normal surgery is finished. He may even agree to come out on a home visit?

And you could always e-mail Academic Registry at your uni to formally complain about your treatment by them. I know it's hard to deal with anything official when you're feeling like this, but I find e-mail and (sometimes, if I'm feeling strong enough) phoning, is easier than dealing with things and people face to face.

I hope you can get something sorted out - it doesn't seem fair that they should fail you because you're ill.

My Course Leader says they can fail me because of my poor attendance, even though I had told them on many occasions that if they would just send me the work, I would have been back so much more quickly. He has said he will write a letter to my next Course Leader for September (I am currently doing an enhancement course prior to my PGCE) to explain that my attendance is the only reason I have failed, it wasn't the quality of my work, but that still doesn't change the fact that it will be a fail. Chances are I will lose my place for September too.

I can't use the phone when I'm like this, but my friend has offered to ring the doctors for me, and take me there. He's just got to find a way to drag me out the door now (Ben and Jerrys often helps)!

When I read about you spending all your time on MSN and MSE, I felt like I was reading about myself. I find I get a bit obsessive sometimes, so am trying to cut down on my time on here. But you are right, it is so much easier to talk on here than to somebody real!

Hope you're having some lovely time with your son tonight, try not to worry about anything else, just some quality time with lots of cuddles.

QB is right, everyone on here is a friend, and it is a great safety net when we don't know where else to go. Just a pity other people can't be more understanding.

I'm going offline for the night now, going to do some reading and try to get an early night.

Lots of love to everyone ...

Sweet dreams x

Sometimes qb, it's the little things, like thanking someone for their post, that makes them feel like they're not alone.

Anyway, I've seen some of your posts, and I think you're great! :A

dmg - good luck with the Dr. I'm glad you have such a good friend who will do that for you. Hopefully, with people behind you, supporting you, you may be able to sort something out for your PGCE (that's what I'm studying now).

I must admit, I'm a bit obsessive about being online at the moment. Problem is, I've met someone lovely online, but he lives nearly 300 miles away, so webcam on msn is the only way we get to 'see' each other! (I just love to complicate my life)...

And I know exactly what you mean about using the phone. I'm supposed to have rung the benefits office last week to tell them I've had my student loan paid in (and am therefore no longer entitled to income support). But I keep putting it off, as I know I'll have to go in and deal with it all, and I just can't even cope with the phone call yet, never mind going in there again.

I'm very lucky with my family, as my Dad has suffered from depression for years, so he & my Mum understand completely, and help out as much as they can. So at least my son gets quality time with them when I can't cope so well.

I hope everything works out ok for you. Please let me know how it all goes.

Take care

(((((hugs))))) to everyone who needs them.

can i come in here and scream my head off please???

My daughter has managed to get thrown out of a psychiatric unit for 'behavioural problems' can you beleive it???

Shes on her way home now in a taxi with a staff escort because her bad behaviour this time was behavioural and not psychological!!! :mad:

I explained that i wont be able to be home tomorrow because i've got blood tests in the morning (GTT ones which take a long time) and then I'm going to be bandaged in the afternoon. They don't care tho and are sending her home which means I'll have to cancel my stuff tomorrow and go longer without treatment. I'm pig fukkin sick of all this, all because she's behaving like a spoilt madam!

-hugs- Ethel, I dont know what to say, do you know what she did to be thrown out? x

lewt

i know this sounds un motherly but could you not refuse to take her?

lewt

or go out and not be there.........

EthelBloggs

apparently she went in the art room, got some paint and threw it all over a staff member and all over the medical charts..

I tried that refusing to have her but they were insistent. it just means I'd be prolonging it til tmorrow anyway I spose.
