Good afternoon all,

Tulip I hope your appointment went well.

andipandi and roversbabe HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY! xxx

rose (((HUGS))) Did you manage to get an appointment with your GP?

queensway_boy I hope you continue to post here.

dawnylou You're sounding a lot more positive WELL DONE on going over your targets, that's great news

santashelper I missed that Doctor Doctor programme today. Did you see it?

I really hate having time off work. I get so bored. I just waste the days in bed. Yesterday I didn't even bother to shower or get dressed. Next week will be better though.

I've lost 7 lbs so far on my diet I should be a size 10 soon.

I received a letter yesterday from Bupa. I have an appointment on 25th Sept. I received another letter today informing me that the grant for housing that my social worker applied for on my behalf has been rejected

Have a good day guys xxx

yes saw the programme it was about jan leaming when she had depression she had lost a partner and job and for a year she spent most days in bed except for seeing to her dogs and she was explaining about how she felt in a black hole and it was hard to climb up the sides she was lucky because a dr friend befriended her and invited her round for coffee some days she said she was on prozac for awhile and slowly came off them and her depression subsided its always good to see someone who has come through it if you want their web site address as they may have something more about it on there let me know

I will be ok, im just fed up atm, feels like a constant circle and all i want to do is stop. Being turned down for jobs over and over is really getting to me atm, im realising im gonna have to relocate, my home environment is also not helping which means i am stuck as i am atm.

but time is a precious thing we will see what happens

how is your friend?

take care xxxx

Well, its a coooooold day up here in the granite city. But, oh look the sun had come out. Hope that's an omen for the rest of the day.

andi, sorry I missed your birthday yesterday, like BMF I don't tend to notice things like that on here. It was thoughtful of your eldest to send you a present, hope it was something nice. HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY anyway. :T

tulip, hope you had a productive meeting this morning. I know what you mean about lawnmowers...:mad:

dawny, I hope all goes well for these results, and good for you for being so positive. I'm still sitting on my hanky btw, its a bit crinkled but it should still work! :A

qb, I have no idea what the problem is or was but please don't leave, we're all doing our best to support each other. (((big hugs)))

Tiff (((big hugs))) i second BMF, make sure you take time for you too

rbk hope you get the housing benefit sorted out. Have you checked things out on that entitled to website? Sorry I don't know the addy, just now it exists.

((((big hugs)))) to santashelper, geminilady, sazbo, rose, cif and anyone else who needs one.

hey everyone.
feel like lurking more and more on here - can't put my feelings into words at the moment. just feeling more and more down. i have managed this far without being on anti depressents, and I want to keep it that way, but its so hard. I can't stop comfort eating either, which in turn makes me feel even worse.
Hope everyone has a good evening.

Hi sf hun

I understand what you mean, its hard to try and say how you feel to put it into words, when sometimes there are just no words. I find sometimes writing things down can help.

and heres something random, ...guess who i seen yesterday walking through town? ......andi peters,... remember him? he was a nice guy too

hun im here anytime ok, pm, email, or will see you on msn soon hun

take care

Hi Rosie, I do not have to tell you that you should not stop taking your perscribed medication especially as your psychiatrist does not advise it.He is the specialist in mental illness not just your ordinary gp.I do understand your unhappiness with the weight gain,are you sure this is down to the meds and that you are not eating any more than usual?Even if it is the meds weight can be lost but if you stop the meds you could end up back where you started and even hosptalised again.Did you mention the weight gain to your psychiatrist?if so what did he say? did you ask if there were any alternative meds you could take?or maybe a reduction in the dosage as they are also making you extreemly tired.

Hi hun

how r u?

Yes, i know. I wont be stupid, its just soo frustrating, doesnt seem that bigger thing if i want to come off them, then i should be allowed to. I am seeing someone atm, bit like a life coach, she is very helpful, and has seen a change in me, i am more positive, more in control and more optimistic, surely thats a good thing, i dont want to rely on meds anymore. But as i say gp on friday, so will discuss with him

It is down to the meds hun, yeah, i have researched the side effects and two which were mentioned is weight and tierdness, which is what i am experiencing. I prob do eat a little more than i did, but i never did eat alot.
But now i am getting soo paranoid about my weight to the point i am skipping meals because i dont want to put weight on.

I mentioned the weight gain to the doctor yes, tbh its kinda noticeable, to the point my mum is now making horrible comments about my weight, which obviously isnt helping. The doctor just said to see a dietician, but this is all soo frustrating for me, i used to be soo energetic, atheletic and all, now i just dont feel the same me anymore.

I did go on a bike ride today, down the mountain then along the valley then up the mountain again, and i was exhausted by the time i got back home again, i feel soo hopeless and pathetic, its just not me

hope your well hun

take care

from rosie
