Depression Support Thread

:hello:

Tiff, Thank you for your supportive post. I am OK thank you. How are you? Glad to be back home? You haven't told us much about the holiday yet, don't you go keeping all these stories about men a secret :rotfl: How did your son cope while you were away?

The meeting type thing with the area manager went OK. I wrote down a few questions that I wanted to ask beforehand just in case I got in there and my mind went blank. He didn't know the answers to some of my questions but assured me he would find out and get back to me ASAP. He was fairly supportive and said to let my manager or him know if there is anything they can do to help.

It's the not knowing that really gets to me but I suppose now I just have to wait for HR and everyone to do whatever they have to do and eventually come to a decision.

I hope you are looking after yourself Tiff (((HUGS)))

Karrie, I am glad to hear that the interview went well. The job that they are putting you forward for, is it a job you would like to do? It's great that it's only a 5 min walk from home

Tulip, How are you today? Did you have a good time at the day centre? Pleased to hear that your Dad is better, that is good news.

Sounds like Friday the 13th was quite eventful for you lol

crazyposhgal, Welcome to the depression thread. Sending (((HUGS))) your way. The crying is a common symptom of depression. Sometimes there isn't a reason for it, it's just the illness itself.

I get the impression from your post that since you've become a Mum you are feeling somewhat isolated, would that be a correct assumption? Before you became a Mum did you have a fairly busy social life?

I am sure you are a great Mum to your little boy.

Sazbo, You are definately not a rubbish Saz! Sometimes it's not possible for people to post and I'm sure everyone appreciates that. Everyone loves you here! (((HUGS)))

loopy_lass, Welcome to the depression thread. I totally agree with you about the gym, it is a great place to relieve stress and I think it can lift your mood. I really enjoy going.

Sazbo

Right back atcha, RBK :T Everyone loves you more:) So there;)

You take good care now,

Hi Guys

Am really upset right now.

It's my birthday on Monday and we always go out on my birthday - ALWAYS! OH phoned me and I asked where we were going and he tells me we're not. I must have sounded surprised (we had discussed it a while back)because he said he forgot and then asked where did I want to go then. I said don't worry, I just assumed we'd be going out. Silence. He'd put the phone down on me! :mad: I hate that - it's so childish and there's no point me ringing because (unfortunately) from experience he won't pick up and I know he won't phone me.

We are due to go out for the day with our boys on Sunday. Now I don't know what to do.

I am so so upset that he is 40+ years of age and he acts so bl00dy childish. He's just ruined my whole weekend. I can't stop crying.

Karrie sweetheart, first and foremost, happy birthday if i dont get to say it to you on monday :bdaycake:

Also, is it still possible to arrange to do something on sunday or monday? Yep, he forgot and that's so not great, but can you still sort something at all? Big hugs hun, please don't cry, you'll set me off...

Much love,
Saz xxxxx

Sorry for intruding but I wondered whether anyone here would be interested in signing a petition to try and get the Government to inject more funding in MH services, rather than substantially cut it as it seems to be doing lately.

Aww thanks Sazbo. He didn't forget that it was my birthday he just forgot we discussed going out. Which is fine, not a problem. But why put the phone down? I hate that, it really grates on me. He's peed of that he forgot about going out and taking it out on me!

Thanks for the hugs, I need them right now. God, I am 40 years old and feel like a teenager when this happens. Pull yerself together Karrie!!!

Oh Karrie Please don't cry (((HUGS))) I agree hanging up is very childish and doesn't achieve anything. Would it be possible for you to go out with friends for your birthday instead?

Once my oh got in from work i went up stairs had a long soak a little snooze and cry and woke up feeling better. Have made an appointment with my doc on tuesday.

I know this sounds a bit pathetic, but it's really upset me tonight. (I have had a few drinks, which might be affecting how I feel).

I just posted on another thread and unintentionally upset another poster (or so I thought). It turns out they didn't take my post the wrong way (as I'd thought they had), but now I'm feeling tearful and vulnerable. As if I can never say the right thing.

I was only trying to make a joke and it seemed from their reply that they'd taken it the wrong way (they hadn't, as it turns out). I apologised, and they said it was funny, and that I'd embarrassed myself.

Now I feel really stupid. And I'd been having such a good week up til now.

Why do such little things knock me sideways again?
