Hi sf!:hello:
Morning hun - how are you feeling today?
I'm sorry that you were unhappy with your results angel. Imho, you're being too hard on yourself sf.
Therefore, I will spend the rest of the day being happy for you!

I'm feeling much better about it today thanks I was so disappointed yesterday, but the more I think it through, the more it's going to motivate me next year I think!

CONGRATULATIONS ON PASSING YOUR EXAMS!!!:T :T :T

HAHA I love those smileys - where do you get them from?

The main goal for you hun was to pass your exams. And you did it!
The results were still passes angel, whatever you hoped for!
You can still move forward with what you want to do!
This is not the same as failing your exams!
Also hun, remember that we all get hyped up with stress waiting for our results and are usually surrounded by other students feeling the same. It's not unusual to feel a bit of an anti-climax because what goes up, has to come down at some point. Did that make sense hun?

Makes perfect sense. I always get so worried about exams, and its all a bit stress and yes, a climax!

You have achieved something really good angel, while battling with your depression - that's so hard to do. You have managed to stay well enough to persevere and achieve what you needed to achieve sf.;)
Be proud because you did so well on top of all you have to deal with. :A

Thanks, I never thought about it like that.

And so what if they're not 25 A*'s?! You have passed! :j
There are days ol' Tiff can't write a shopping list, let alone study a course and pass exams!;)

Aww lol -hugs- they're all the equivelent of B's.. if that makes sense. its at degree level, so the marking schemes are slightly different, but that's what you could say

So, because of what you have accomplished inspite of your ill health, because you are an inspiration for all those with mental health issues to try and succeed, because you are being too modest, I hereby dedicate today as being...

SF'S RESULTS CELEBRATION DAY!

I'm really proud of you sweetie - you go girl!
Much Love,
Tiff xxx

Thanks so much Tiff, you're an angel. -hugs- x x

Hi. Im new to this thread and just wonder if someone can give me a little advice.

I went to bed last night feeling great as i started work this week and am loving it, however, when i woke up this morning i felt really down and i dont have a clue where it has come from. I have been sitting crying all morning an my son keeps asking whats wrong. When i manage to calm down and stop crying i end up starting again.

I no there is no point going to my doc as it will be the same old stuff, just talk to me then send me away with more tablets. I have lost most of my friends since i became a mum and dont get out so have noone to talk to. my mum and oh dont beleive in derpession so no good talking to them and my dads at work.

I dont know what to do. i just want to stop crying and be happy again.

Hi Poshgal,Thought i would leave out the crazy bit lol.Welcome to the thread.Don't know if it will help any but here is a (((((hug))))) anyway.It is hard to give advice without knowing all the circumstances but i will give it a go.If everything is ok in your life it could be a hormone problem,time of the month ect people can get very strange symptons when the hormones are out of sync.Also it could be some way connected to starting your new job,even though you are liking it its a major change in your life and the tears could be some sort of reaction.I am not being nosy but a little more information would help.Have you been diagnosed with depression?do you have a partner?.
One thing i can tell you is that you are not alone,the people on here all have problems of some sort and you will find they will listen and not judge you in any way.

Hi Katie! Bless your heart for thinking of me hun :wave:

Hi guys! :wave:

Sorry for being such a rubbish sazzy:o - I mean, for not being around much. During the week gets a bit crazy, y'know. I feel so guilty for not being able to devote a decent amount of time replying to you all properly, so then I get to thinking it's somehow fairer if I don't reply at all..... But I do read everything that's posted and I do think of each and every one of you... I promise you that.
Anyway, it's nearly the weekend! Yay! :j :beer: Hope you've all got some nice things planned. I've got a quiet couple of days ahead, so will try and post at some stage.

Much love to you all,

Saz xxx

Hi Thanks i deleted my post coz i decided noone would be interested lol. I have a partner of 4 years a little boy who is coming on 5 and a bit of a handful. He is a only child so is always wanting you to play with him and if you are not standing in the kitchen watching him while he plays out the back garden he tells ppl that you are not looking after him. I was dignosed with clinical depression 4 years ago. I was on flouxitine (sorry not sure if im allowed to name tablets) 40mg til last march when i came off them after falling pregnant. I than went on to loose my baby in the august so decided to book a holiday take my mind off it. However after my partner went from casual work to a ful time job in november things took a turn for the worse and i was back to trying to do silly things etc and ended up back at the doctor on 60mg which i still currently take.

My OH does not seem too understand that this is an illness and thinks i should just get over it and that im "taking the easy way out" by taking tablets.

I have to admit i am more tired and irritable having started work but after being on your feet for 6 hours (not long to some i know) and asking your oh to do just 2 things for you then getting home to find them not done it get to me. I dont know quite what else to say. I have spoke to my doctor about councelling but she says that it cannot be found in my area and that i would have to travel 2 hours on a train to get near anywhere.

Sorry for babelling on and for having not such great spelling.

Edited - In february i also had a run in with my sons nursery teacher after they wrote to my doctor to say they were concerned i was looking "tired and withdrawn" and was not my usual self and they kept asking me if everything was ok at home. I was very annoyed at this as i dont think it is there position to be writing to my doctor.

Im not a bad parent i look after my son and i idont leave him on his own or anything and i dont fall asleep when he is about (dont get the chance or a toy goes in your eye lol).

Never delete a post on the Depression thread angel - it makes old Tiffy think she's seeing things!!!:D :rotfl:
Just joking hun.;)

I have a partner of 4 years a little boy who is coming on 5 and a bit of a handful. He is a only child so is always wanting you to play with him and if you are not standing in the kitchen watching him while he plays out the back garden he tells ppl that you are not looking after him.
That must be exhausting for you hun.:o

Where on earth did he get the ability and idea, to say that you're not looking after him?! That's a strange thing for him to say at that age - I wonder what's behind that hun? Do you have any ideas on this cpg?

My son's an only child (now 17) and it can be lonely for them. The positive side is that he's used to talking to adults and was a bit more mature. Course now he's 17, it's back to the grunting stage!:rolleyes:

I think it would be a good idea to mention this to your gp or district nurse. That way, if anyone listens to him, your dr wil have notes that you brought this up with them. Your gp may be able to chat with DS and find out why he feels that.;) You may also want to mention it to school/nursery and ask if everything's all right there hun.

Has he overheard your partner put you down on this matter maybe since you've been ill? It could be something as simple as that angel. If so, it may have made him anxious. I don't mean to pry hun - just Tiff thoughts.;)

I'm sorry you had such an awful time cpg!

I think it is possible he has heard my oh say things to me. I know he has had a abit of trouble at nuresry as they sent him to speech therapy so he can get very annoyed when the techer keeps saying what to him and he has a concentration teacher as he just wont concentrate long enough to do thing as you can imagine this happens at home too e.g. all the lego will get pulled out then 5 mins later he does not want to play with t or put it away.

I have just asked him why he say i dont look after him and he said
"because i want you to do this, play with me and not work". I asked him where he leant to say that iam not looking after him and he says from noone he just knows it.

I only work 6 hours a night 3 nights a week.
