Tiff, sorry to hear about your mums fall yesterday. You were right to say what you were thinking..who cares if it didn't make you popular. Didn't know your mum was so ill, I can only sympathise x My mum's 84, she lives alone (also has one of those call things round her neck) and she has had a number of falls over the past few weeks. Its so worrying. She has heart failure and i can't bear to think of her not being here.. do my best to appreciate the time we have with her x
PS...the rest of your post made me smile!!! Hope you feel better soon x0 -
Hello there to you all
My lovely dad dies 6 yrs ago..........went downhill from there really, been on tabs, got better, okay for 4 yrs, working, loevely hubby, 2 great kids, then in Jan last yr, my mum got ill and we moved house so she could live with us. That was fine for a bit, I am main breadwinner, hubby looks after home and my mum.
I was off work again for a while but went back in May, and went back on tabs( Citalopram) and fely ok, but came off them last mth after doc said I seemed fine......... well I have hit rock bottom again............and back on tabs again.
Im feeling so guilty that I am unable to cope with what everyone else does, ie work, home etc. Work have been great so feel guilty that I am letting them down again but couldnt cope if I went back. I dont really like my job but Im stuck with it due to pension and its good money.
I am also in alot of debt which isnt helping as we have not been living within our means, most of it is in my name.
Hubby dosnt really understand and I feel so useless, because I should be able to 'get a grip' theres people worse off than us.( his words)
Anyway, just want to say hi and that I am trying to get sorted.

Hi Limana,Welcome to the board,sorry there were not many around last night when you were feeling so bad.Sometimes it takes a while for people to reply but we DO care and everyone is welcome on here.Your feelings of guilt and feeling "useless" are common to depression but remember that you are ILL,if you broke a leg you would not feel guilty and just because your illness is not a visible one does not mean you are not ill.Hope that makes sense.It sounds to me as if you were not ready to come off the anti-depressants seeing as you started feeling bad again when you did, hopefully things will start looking better soon.I presume you have got advise about your debts from the other board all i can say is try not to let it get you down as long as you are paying it off a little at a time it will be getting less and most people have debts these days.Sorry your husband does not understand i am afraid his words are typical of someone who has never suffered from depression it is almost impossible to understand unless you have been there.That is why many of us
post on here because we have all been there and bought the t-shirt.So please don't be put off by the lack of response last night if you read todays posts you will see people do care and respond when they come on line.0 -

morning all:j , feeling bit happier now i have seen my counsillor, and dare i say it a bit stronger, not going to let my ex get to me, or at least i'm gonna try not letting him get to me, hes the one with the problem, hes the one giving out emotional and verbal c**p, and i do deserve better. i cant wait to see the back of this year and hopefully 2008 will be better.
sorry to hear about your mum tiff, and no one blames you for giving your sister and neice a piece of your mind, they deserved it hun. hope you get over your lurgies real soon too.
hope you have a good night out katie.
juno, good luck for the job interview.
welcome to shelly and limana, this is a great place with lots of friendly people please feel at home here.
big hugs everyone
