Depression Support Thread

hey everyone at least we know we are not alone. life is messy for most people - for all different reasons . its hard not to beat yourself up when you are ill like this but it is an illness not a weakness. as for all of us with kids i just think now that there is no such thing as the perfect parent. i have lost count of the times when my friend or myself have said to each other " im not a good mum, i want to be a good mum or good mums dont do this or that. " but you know my kids are MY kids no one elses and i am their mum, and we wouldnt have it any other way. you dont have to be the shining example of a good parent you just have to be good enough. i know how it feels to think you are awfull and hopeless and ugly and to think everyone is looking at you, i have periods when i genuinely see an ugly monster when i look in the mirror and as for fat my weight is out of my control it would seem because of my illness and my medication i can go from a size 14 to a 24 and back again. its all part of it. but i have had to accept that i have a chemical imbalance and need to keep a close eye on myself to make sure im on the correct pills. things have improved for me since i accepted that THIS IS ME.

No i try not to drink much, it makes me worse and more depressed. I only get angry with men not women, have had a few fights. Not very good i know but cant help it if i have a drink.

i cant trust my self with drink it makes me manic and i find myself doing things i shouldnt seems like great fun at the time but i always regret it. it has spoilt friendships and almost ruined my reputation , i control myself with the thought that my friend has done worse and she doesnt have an illness lol

fluoxetine made me worse personally but citralopram is keeping me on an even keel so far

i just tend too get too friendly !!!!!! if you know what i mean? although i did once get banned from a scummy club coz my pals ex was aggressive toward me and poked my in the shoulder then ran away , i followed him into the gents and told him what a low life wife beater he was and that i wasnt scared of him!!. great eh ? i was mortified the next day as really he is quite scary and i was just lucky there were other people about who knew me . still it was his last chance and he got banned too while my ban was lifted so my mate can go there in peace now. laugh of it was they were more concerned about me "entering the mens loos" than anything else .

Well I have had a good day today ,I went out to woolworths to buy the new Westlife album called Back Home which is brilliant and also the dvd as well of the album shoot and some of their videos,then I went to mums for dinner
After lunch I went for an hours bus ride to the nearest Faith store and got these:
Boots are called Renel

Slippers are called pfur


boots were £40 as they had £30 off as the orginal price was £70
Slippers were £15 but I only had to pay £5 so I did well with my bargains
tonight now just relaxing after my very busy day I have got pottery tomorrow

love and light,
