Depression Support Thread

consnmattsmom

Hello everyone

Hope all is well. I am yet again having a bad day. The thought I had last week that I am going to die by Wed is really playing on my mind. I was in a lot of pain with my back on that day but dont know why I had that thought it just came from nowhere. I hope it was just to do with my depression but I cant concentrate on anything today.

I am hopefully going to the docs on Wed gotta make app tomorrow think its time I got help.

In the meantime, have a good week everyone and take care of yourselves.

Much love to everyone,

Hi :hello: We posted at the same time. Sorry to hear you're having a bad day, but I think you're doing the right thing going to the docs on Wednesday. Often the hardest part is reconciling ourselves to the fact that we need help, but support is there - and you're just as entitled to it as anyone else hun. I'll be thinking of you and wishing you well for wednesday; let us know how you get on.

Much love,
Sazxxxx

Hi Consnmattsmom. I suffer from anxiety as well as depression, and I often feel like I'm going to die. Its a really rotten feeling, but I think a fair few of us here have been through it at one point or another, but its worth mentioning to the GP. When I'm anxious, I get very bad chest pains, and I think I'm having a heart attack or something. I've learnt to recognise it now, so although I feel very bad, I tell myself that I'm okay really. Hope the doctors goes okay - have you thought about taking a list with you incase you get flustered in there like I do? I'm a big fan of lists. Its nice to meet you by the way

Morning BigMummaF - your post is very lively today! How are you feeling?

Hi PoppyJay - that sounds really upsetting, but its great that you recognise that its them with the problem not you. I don't understand why some people feel the need to be cruel, its just not nessercary is it? At least you've got some space from them now!

Hi Clipboard, sounds like you had a nice time at Winkworth Arboretum, do you think it is worth a visit? My National Trust membership has lapsed, keep meaning to get it started again. We went to a lovely walled garden yesterday, there were only a few cars in the car park and it felt like we had the place to ourselves. It was very peaceful and relaxing, I forget how much trips out like that help.

Hi LisaMartin, nice to meet you! Hope you'll feel at home and happy on the thread

Saz - hope your full days aren't too hard. Take care xx

Hope everyone is doing okay and enjoying the sunny day.

I'm off to a meeting a few miles away tonight, I'm getting a lift with an AA lady I met. First time without the hubby waiting in the car incase I get scared lol. This meeting can arrange a temporary sponsor for me, which I think will help get my recovery on the road. It 10 months tomorrow since I last picked up a drink. Some days I feel so far away from it, but other days its shocking just how close it is - one sip and everything goes out the window. Ah well, I prefer sobriety anyway! Hopefully should hear back from the doctor about changing medication soon. Not looking forward to it - I forgot 3 doses in a row the other day, and I felt incredibly awful. I really want to just stop taking them, but I'll have to be sensible and follow the doctors advice, even though that will take about 3 months or so. I'm quite up and down at the moment, which is better than all down I suppose!

Thanks for all your support folks. It nice knowing that you arent alone and that you can come here for a chat and support.

I have gained inspiration from Tulips last post about all her housework so I am going to set about doing some for an hour or two to pass time until hubby comes home just put my 2 yr old down for a sleep. He kept me awake all night last night so that doesnt help with my feeling down as so tired all the time too.

Think I might even put some music on. Gonna have to try and get on with things and not keep mulling them over.

Hi CNMM,

I am glad my post has given you some inspiration to do your housework doing mine has certainly helped me this morning as I like my flat to look nice if someone is coming to see me and I take pride in it and everything,my parents are proud of me for looking after it and I feel motivated doing it as it is my home,Music is a good thing as well but I did mine without music Its also best not to mull things over too hard otherwise you will make yourself more ill and tired

welcome to the thread LisaMartin,all these new people this is so good to see
Hi Sazzy

take care

love and light,

Hi queensway-boy!
I am sending you a special <hug> from me. Now what's this young man (you're about the same age-ish as me so I can call you young heh heh heh!) suggesting that folk are ignoring your posts?
It feels to me that you feel that you are (1) Not loved (2) Not appreciated
and (3) Not understood.

Thankyou x
