  • Hello regulars Tiff, Ethel, BMF, Tulip, SF, Juno, ILGD, and everyone else. Apologies to anyone I have missed. :o

    I have just been trying to catch up on some of the threads and noticed my name was in the roll call lol as I havent been around much lately. :o

    I am sorry for the ones of you who are having a tough time of it lately and send you all big hugs ((((hugs)))). Hope things are better soon. xxxxx

    I am glad to report that my meds have helped loads :T :T and am feeling much better and now even feel like I want to do housework, washing etc. I have a check up at docs on Thurs been on meds by then 2 weeks and 2 days and doc said they prob wouldnt have made a diff by then but they have. Side effects seem to have wore off too.

    I am just going to go back through the threads and thank everyone.

    SF that is a lovely picture. :D

    Katie have a lovely day I wish I could sing on the karaoke but would empty the pub with my squawk lol. :rotfl: :rotfl:

    The weather should hopefully make us a bit happier this week its supposed to be hot like an indian summer so my MIL says. :T

    Have a good day.

    Will come back soon. xx

    Hi all

    Not been around for a while due to redundancy and finding a job. Started job two weeks ago and it was awful. Minimal training, mind numbingly boring and a boss who was rude to me............... not anymore though :mad: So now I am unemployed again!!! Depression is setting in and my ds has noticed. Just want to sleep all day. I feel I have let him down by not sticking with the job but I am the kind of person who will not put up with being treated like poo. I take things too personally.

    So? What do I do now? Am registered with several agencies. Don't know what I am entitled to re benefit. Never claimed before.

    :o
    Life is like a box of chocolates, ya never know what yer gonna get ;);)

    The Occupational Therapist phoned, and they want me to see the Consultant Psychiatrist and get a proper diagnosis. I suppose that is a good thing, but I'm worried that they'll tell me I'm crazy. Therapy and medication will be provided after diagnosis, which is good too. Maybe I can get better. Also going to talk to a volunteer placement lady, about doing a couple of hours volunteer work a week.

    They wouldn't tell you you're crazy. They don't do things like that. They might give you a scary label, but it doesn't really mean anything except they'll hopefully know how to help you better.
