EthelBloggs

That's what i said too lewt.. they just said that she's not complying with the program and therefore doesn't belong there. !!!!!! its a mental health unit, isn't that what they're for?
I duno !!!!!! they expect me to do

-hugs- its so unfair, on both parts. hers, because she's obviously not getting the help she needs, and yours because what are you meant to do now? Is there anywhere else she can go as a patient? -hug- x x

Ethel hun I am totally mystified by their actions, as no doubt are you. How on earth does throwing paint require sending her home? It's only paint for goodness sake?! And how does sending her home benefit anyone? I'm so sorry to hear all that.... really I am

Much love,

lewt

so she was not under section then? maybe that could be the next option if it dont get any better

EthelBloggs

thanks everyone

The alternative was her spending a night in the cells.. so what option did I really have?

lewt.. she was sectioned until about 2 weeks ago, she appealed against it and her consultant took her word that she wold behave and supported her. No one listened to me when i said it was too soon and that she wsn't ready for it soo... guess who has to sort out the mess when it goes wrong?

westclok, Welcome to the depression thread. Please don't feel scared about posting, everyone is really nice

I know you said you didn't get on well with counselling previously but perhaps given your situation now it might be of help to talk to someone. There usually is a waiting list but in the meantime you've got all of us here that are willing to listen Do you have a good support network (friends/family) that you can confide in and who will listen to you?

The job that you have been offered. Is it a job that you particularly like? If they have offered you the job they must think you are capable of doing it well At least the job will act as a distraction. It also might be good to have some kind of structure to your life.

How did the appointment with the Doctor go?

(((HUGS)))

:hello: Welcome happysinglemum, Well done on having cut down on your drinking. That's great. How do you feel?

If you ever feel the need to rant about anything, feel free to do so here. There is usually always someone about who will be willing to listen.

Do you have any hobbies/interests that you could pursue?

dmg24, (((HUGS))) I'm sorry to hear that they won't let you complete your work at home. Is there anyone higher up that you can speak to? Surely in such circumstances they are obliged to help students in some way.

ilovegreatdanes, Gosh an IVA sounds a great deal more complicated than they make it out to be. Anyway, I think you should be congratulated for taking such positive steps to deal with your current debt situation. It takes a lot of courage to ackowledge that there is a problem and even more courage to actually deal with it. :T

Do you find that the Prozac helps?

Gillette, Did you come off the meds by yourself or was it something that the Doctor advised? If it was the first then I really do think you should make an appointment with your GP ASAP. It's quite clear from your post that you are finding things pretty difficult atm and do still need some kind of support. What do you mean you've had your 6 free ones? I was under the impression that counselling was free on the NHS

Perhaps starting to engage with others will make you feel happier within yourself. They probably miss hearing from you as well.

Do you have any hobbies/interests that you could pursue to keep yourself occupied?

How are things with you and your girlfriend?

(((HUGS)))

Let_Robinson_Sing, :T Well done you! :beer: How did you find todays exams? GOOD LUCK for the remaining exams. Not long left now :j

*sandymogs*, Welcome to the depression thread. Posting for the first time can be a little daunting especially if we are revealing things about ourselves. We are a friendly bunch though

You've had a lot to cope with and still do it seems. Do you get any kind of help with your son or is it just yourself looking after him?

It's great that you've opened up on here :T the next step will be to go and see your GP but only when you are ready of course. When you do go, it might be a good idea to print out and take along your posts. That way you can just hand it to him/her without having to try and find the right words.

(((HUGS)))


Ethel, OMG hun that is awful. What the hell are they playing at?! It's pretty common for people on psychiatric wards to behave in such manner.

If they can't cope with her, how can they expect you to be able to.

Is there someone that you can complain to about it all?

Are they not going to accept her back at all?

Sending (((HUGS))) your way Ethel.


Finally caught up Lots of new posters today and therefore lots of posts to read and respond to.

Thinking of you all xxx

Just a quick hello to my adoring public :rotfl:

:wave:

I age another year this week, so i'm looking forward to treating myself.

I'm not sure how....i've not bought any Britney items off eBay for a couple of weeks, so maybe that's what i'll do..........all hail Queen Britney :A :kisses2:

On the day, I want no cakes, just the words 'Miro & Britney are perfect for each other' and it'll get me through to next June :rotfl:

Anyway, hope everyone is well...has anyone heard from feelinggood? Is she back?

Any newbies since my last visit a few weeks back? Anyone decided to leave and I missed the leaving party?

No news from my end i'm afraid (with exception to my affair with Britney........oops! That was a secret!)

I must come back more often, but other peoples depression makes me depressed - that's not meant to be bad, just right now, i'm not capable of dealing with too much.

Until tomorrow maybe......

I'm a slaaaaaaaaaaaave for you

Hi ilgd!:hello:
Firstly, I think you should be proud of posting on here about how hard things are hun.:T
I know the guys will have given you great advice already but Tiff's always got to put her in.:rolleyes:
You've got a few things going on here angel and it's best to deal with them one at a time by breaking it down. Let's have a look...

quote=ilovegreatdanes;
hi, just been reading the thread.i suffer from clinical depression and seem to go from really cheerful to soooo down and there doesnt seem to be any middle ground.its as if, if i start to dwell on stuff, ill think how fed up i am so i seem to overcompensate on the cheery front and everyone thinks im fine, when really im screaming inside, iykwim.
I'm sorry you're feeling so low hun. Do you get any mental health support? If so, who and how often? Not meaning to pry angel, just trying to see the bigger picture.
It sounds like it's a real rollercoaster ride ilgd. That's so common with mental ill health angel - things seem to feed into each other. When you are in your low points, do you know that the ups will return? Because as with everything, it does change. I'd suggest a visit to your gp or you mental health care team - if they don't know how bad you feel, they can't help you hun.;)

If you put on a cheery front, of course people are going to think you're fine hun - and then they'll just unload their problems onto you which makes you feel worse. Do you have anyone who knows what you're going through? It sounds as if you could use some extra input hun - you sound low and lonely too. There are many options out there angel.

just feel like im wasting my life and am so jealous of everyone.well, anyone, like everyone has a better life than me.
Mental ill health is a bit of a tart ilgd.;) It doesn't care who it goes to. When we hit the low points, everyone's lives seem better than ours and we can feel jealous. The truth of the matter is, that this is mostly our illness talking. Yes, you're having a rough time but try and remember it's temporary hun, that you'll come up again.

You can't know what goes on behind people's closed doors angel. There are always going to be people better off and worse off than ourselves hun - and that's normal.;)
What makes you think you're wasting your life? It ain't over yet hun and if you're that low sweetie, then the only way is up. It'll be great if that middle ground can be found ilgd, so that it's not from one extreme to another for you. You have as much as anyone else to offer.:T

i owe loads of dosh and am on a dmp which will last 25 years and im 44 so feel like thats it now, its all over.im so ashamed of how its turnd out and feel like, is this all there is???a few months ago, i was tempted to end it all before i got the dmp sorted, then things seemed to improve.
No wonder you're so low hun. Never let yourself get to the point of no return. Please call someone if you feel lke that angel. As hard as anything gets sweetheart, neither debt or anything else is ever worth taking your life over. You are so much more than a debt file!

Right then - practical stuff.
Have you been to CAB hun? Even if you have, it may be worth going back and telling them about all this - even showing them your post.

Of course, you can also pop over to the debt-free wanabee board experts angel, which I'm sure you have already.

You may also find it useful to write a letter to your creditors hun - I'm sure CAB or any wise MSE peeps will help you with that.

No matter how much you owe, you are still entitled to a certain standard of living hun. As much as you want to clear every debt angel, it's not worth your health. There's nothing wrong in going back to whoever helped you set up your finances and telling them you need to know what other options there are. You need to make life worth living for yourself by seeing what you can change - when we have a plan of action, it makes us feel that precious bit of hope.

just feel like my life is one big lie and im just going throu the motions.so ive come on here to find some like minded peeps who ,hopefully understand what i mean.i know peeps but dont have any close friends to confide in and find it difficult to drop my guard./quote

This must all sound condescending to you hun, as though I'm preaching to you but I wouldn't do that hun.
If I hadn't had enough life experiences to qualify me to offer my thoughts, I'd be a very quiet Tiff!;)

There's no-one who doesn't have big regrets (including yours truly :rolleyes: ), or who wouldn't have done some things differently, but hindsight is a wonderful thing!:rolleyes: Looking at it logically, would you have chosen to have your problems - could you see them coming hun?

I'm really trying to believe that at 42, I can make a future for myself. I'm no better or stronger than you angel.

It's a real battle some days but you've reached 44 even having gone through some very hard times and that makes you a survivor!:T

I don't know if any of this helped hun but I can understand where you're coming from. If you can find the courage to open up a little more, you may be surprised - there are still some good guys out there hun.;)
Take care hun and keep us posted. Post here any old time - there are some real angels here.
Much Love,
Tiff xxx
