Depression Support Thread

Does anyone else find that they can hold it together reasonably well during the day, and fall apart at night?

I'm finding it very hard after about 6 or 7pm. It's probably because of the time of year, the nights getting darker earlier and all that... but that doesn't really help how I'm feeling.

When am I going to feel better and start functioning like a normal person again? I'm feeling very sorry for myself, so please ignore my self-indulgent witterings. I just... don't want to have to do this anymore. Every day is a struggle, and it just seems like there's no point if it's always going to be like this.

It sounds like SAD - you are thinking it is time for bed at this time.

Hi hun

Yeah i do find evenings hard, but i am keep myself busy atm, with two projects on the go.

I think the time of year can have an effect on how you feel, but the other night it was a clear night and i could see the sun setting and then later the moon came up and the stars were shining, and it just seemed soo calm, but i def think the time of year has something to do with it.

What is normal? we all think we should be like other people or try and fit in, when really what makes us , us, is what makes u special, our illnesses are part of who we are. I dont think there is a normal, of how we should be, we just are how we are.

I think the key thing is to take it slow, like anything in life, take it slow. I apply this to my driving lessons, slow and one thing at a time, apart from when i speed :eek::rotfl:. Really thoo, you will find your way in time, there is hope, and you will get there.

And you can always talk/vent here xxx

I am going thro hell here and I feel really alone.

I am married yet I feel so alone. We have time together but all my OH does is go all quiet and sleepy or do work when we are at home. It is fine when we go out but when we are home, he switches off - obviously there are times you need to switch off but it is every time, like he thinks he doesn't have to try when we are home. I feel I am having to do all the work (not so much the chores) and I can't do it all but I am not getting any assistance from him to keep the mood going. I can start the ball rolling but need him to keep it going and snowball between us. Instead I feel cut dead and deflated and it is killing me. I am alone without the benefits and I have someone around without any benefits.

I seem to feel better when people are friendly when I go out, and I go nuts when people are rude and very outspoken to them. I feel where I live the people don't respond when I make the effort which really psses me off. I don't need people to make the first move but really get annoyed when people are rude or deflate me.

I don't find it easy to make friends, I have been badly hurt by people I thought were my friends and find it hard to trust people. A lot of the time I have felt ignored or abused.
