Depression Support Thread

My ears are burning......

Kitchen is coming along but I have found a job so I had to abandon it the weekend while I got work clothes etc.
I start in the morning. Long days, so the kitchen will progress at a snail's pace for a while.
Did I offer a party when it's finshed?
Well if I did...........

Has anyone else got any success stories to keep me ever hopeful there is light at the end of the tablet tunnel:eek:

Hi Child, well got a success story, kind off.I wont make it to long.
My husband cheated on me 10 years ago, with best friend.I asked him to leave after 6 months and it took 18 months to rehouse him. It was hell. But got Prozac from doctors and it made me feel better. Then I met my partner, been with him for 8 year now. I started to look at my life and found that these tablets were running my life, not me. I looked like a zombie. So I stopped. Doctor angry should have cut them down slowly. But felt brilliant.
In 2001 I had a thyroid problem and I had severe depression, also to do with the thyroid problem. Then about 4 years ago I was diagnosed with clinical depression and I found it terrible. Not knowing why I was soooo down all the time.I had blamed it all these years on y thyroid probem. But I refused "the Happy Pills" and till this day I still have 3 or 4 times a year that I feel so low that I think I can not go on, but every time I fight through it and come out stronger. I am a very spiritual person and that helps me a lot. But about 4 weeks ago I went through a low patch and really started to look why I feel like this, there must be a reason.I thought it was my thyroid problem as it was removed by radiation therapy last year. The doctor told me that I might never find out why I feel like this. But it hit me a few days ago that what my husband has done to me has really hurt me. I thought I coped really well, but now I think that it has hurt me more then I ever realised. But looking after my 2 children and then meeting my partner had put these feelings to the back, and slowly they were coming back and I now try to deal with them. So if I can find some answsers and deal with what has happened, these episodes might not come back. But I know there is always light at the end of the tunnel. It has taken me 8 years to find this out, and I think if I get more downs I be looking for answers, but so far I have refused Prozac for 4 years and I have to be honest when I start to feel better I am proud that I have said No again to "the Happy pills". I hope my story will help a little, but try to cut down the tablets really slowly,and try to be positive, I know it ain't easy but just keep trying.
I wish you all the happiness for the future and may the angels be with you....

Sigh, I expected it to be difficult to walk back into peoples lives after such a long absence. Didn't think it would be this difficult. I thought people would understand. Ah well!

Its not important. I had a good friend here before I had to take my long break, and I don't think they understand why I haven't been in contact for so long. Its a shame, but probably for the best.
