Hey, ive been feeling much better since taking meds. I havent felt a panic attack coming on for a couple of days and it has made a big difference already. The only thing is that it makes me feel tired, but i can deal with that.

Big hugs to all

Luv H

hi all, been following this thread for a while, and finally thought it about time to post.
been back to my gp today, and he has decided to prescibe citalopram again, hate taking tablets, but not coping well without them, the depresion is getting worse, also the anxiety, and starting to fear leaving the house alone, so i'll give them a try again.
hope everyone is well

its beginning to feel alot like christmas........ill be glad when its 2nd january.cant cope with the festive season.seems all spend, spend, spend til you end up ith a nervous breakdown with the stress and the debt.why does it have to be so competitive and commercial.....thats why im glad when its over.all that money on presents that ppl either hate or are ungrateful for or think you are a miser cos you havent spent as much as them.i wish no one would get me anything,i wouldnt be bothered as i have loads of stuff i never get round to using....thats sounds ungrateful but i dont mean it to sound how it does.its just that ppl feel obliged to buy you stuff that they cant afford cos its the done thing.would much rather have a no pressie rule so ppl dont have to get stressed.
im returning as a dane or better still, a hedgehog, so i could hibernate and miss it all.
i dont mean to put a dampener on things, but am feeling this way more every year as i get older and hanker back to when i was small and we were grateful for anything, and the cost of the thing was not as important as the emotional value attached.iykwim.getting all maudlin i suppose.....the men in the white coats can take me now.that padded cell sounds really comfy!!!!!
sometimes i feel so old and tired for my years.....
hope you all enjoy christmas if its your thing.
love ilgd xx

Hi guys :hello:

Haven't posted on here for a few days, been visiting my mum and then spending some quality time with my OH.

I'm not sure how i'm feeling at the moment tbh, one minute i'm feeling so happy and then the next i'm worried or upset. It's all a bit confusing My heads so muddled, I'll start talking about something and then completely lose track of what I was saying. Or I'm trying to think of something and I can't make sense of anything in my head. It's strange.

I did so well getting to my mums and back on my own though, it was so scary and I had to ring my mum or OH every 5 mins but proud of myself for doing it :T Had a good time down there and felt a lot happier and content, didn't really want to come home apart from I was missing my OH loads.

I'm going to see my doctor on Monday, need to get a new sick note and speak to him about work because it's really worrying me. They make me feel like i'm making no effort to get better and it's so hard to explain things to them because they've never been depressed so they can't understand it at all.

I don't understand why I don't want to go to work and they don't get that and it makes me feel like they think i'm lying. ((sigh))

Anyway i'll stop waffling, hope everybody is doing okay

hi all
not feeling great today, just want to scream and shout at somebody...everything is going wrong i dont seem capable of the simplest of tasks.
my house looks like a bomb has hit it, piles of washing up, ironing, and mess.
hubby doesnt really get the whole depression thing he is not really into talking about feelings most of the time. occasionally i get a glimmer of hope he is trying to understand the rest of the time he is just a twonk.... and he doesnt help around the house at all just makes 10 times more mess
my head feels odd too think its these meds, feel light headed and a bit fuzzy

:hello: Everyone,


I had a good day today apart from my bus being late:mad: I was 15 mins late for my pottery class today too .Anyway the class was good

I went to have lunch out,then I went to my daycentre,I left early as we are having a christmas raffle and I am getting some prizes in and managed to get some today then I did my food shop I saw some Pudsey bears for sale at £5 at Asda so got one and its cute with its bandage and the red spots on it Mum went to me on the phone tonight you have enough toys,I went yes but I would have donated that money anyway to a bank but only this time I got something and donated money at the same time and she said ok at least you can look at it every year :rotfl:


Have a lovely evening everyone and*hugs* to those that need it

I had a counselling session today The stupid receptionist messed up and didn't tell them I was there, so I didn't get my full hour, but other than that it was good. I've got another appointment same time next week

Hello to everyone... Have to say that the mention of Christmas just fills me with dread. Since splitting up with hubby few months ago..i've been so down, even tho it was my choice. I wish i could hibernate couple of weeks before xmas and wake up 2nd jan. I've volunteered to work (am a nurse) but i've still got to wake up here alone and then dont know what to do when I finish..5ish. Want to see the kids 19 & 20 but they will be with their dad and all seems so depressing here in this flat. Sorry to moan...hope others are looking forward to it x WELL DONE JUNO!!
