Depression Support Thread

Took OH back today-made a round trip of 500 miles and I'm feeling a bit dazed from it now. I was only going to drive as far as Exeter, but I didn't want to leave him, so I just kept driving. I'm going to miss him, it feels empty here at the moment, but I think it'll get better. Its easier to be strong when I only have myself to keep me going. I fall apart more easily if hes here to pick up my pieces

Went to my Dads on the way home and had roast chicken for dinner which was lovely. I don't see him as often as I should and hes always pleased to see me so I should make more of an effort. Its a pain because he doesn't live down as far as me, so its a long journey, but as I was passing I thought I should visit.

I am rabbiting on so much, I must be over tired sorry if I'm not making sense.

meyore Can't you request to see another Doctor? You really should see someone if you're still strugling with anxiety.

Where abouts in Surrey will your husband be working? Is it Deepcut?

Thankyou for your reply means a lot. I somehow manage to convince myself when I'm ok that its gone, so I don't bother going to the doctors, but then when its back usually its evenings or weekends when I can't see a doctor. I know its silly, but my doctor will probably either say its nothing, give me pills which I really don't want or make me see the counsellor based at the surgery, who I don't get on with. Thats the trouble with having one based at the practice, they refused before to refer me elsewhere. I know I have to sort this sooner or later because I don't want it to get more serious because it can be really crippling.

OH works at Minely which is near there, but I'm pleased to say isn't Deepcut! He gets down enough sometimes with the rubbish of the job without adding that place to it. We've been there to visit his dad and its a very strange place, I'm not sure I believe in spirits and stuff but theres a very odd atmosphere. Very quiet no matter whats going on I didn't like it, but seems like they're closing it now anyway.

Hope you are doing ok too sorry to rabbit on at you

I know once on Casualty they had a storyline where someone stole some dihydrocideine. I remember it coz my sister was taking it and got all excited as she thought it was "good".

I'm starting my volunteer work tomorrow Keep your toes crossed!

I think I've broken a couple of toes

I was all over excited last night, went to run down the stairs to get something and ran foot first into the book shelf. I couldn't walk on it last night or touch it with it really hurting, but I thought today it'd be better. But its worse. No bruise though. I like a good bruise, you can show that off, but all I have is a swollen toe and its not really impressive. Oh well. I'll use it to my advantage at work and get all the sitting down jobs, so not all bad news :rotfl:

You've probably said before, but I don't remember-what are you volunteering as? Good luck with it anyway

Hi again RBK


At the top of the list of drugs in your link its says:

PERMITTED ALLOWANCES FOR CONTROLLED DRUGS THAT YOU CAN TAKE ABROAD WITHOUT A HOME OFFICE LICENCE


Even methodone is'nt on that list(well i can't see it)it must be whats allowed without any paperwork,other stuff like dihydrocodeine tablets/methodone might need an home office licence,it is confusing though

q_b x

Methadone is on the list but listed generically (Physeptone). All of the drugs on that list are kept in the CD cabinet within a pharmacy. Dihydrocodeine isn't kept securely. I'm pretty sure that you'll be OK taking Dihydrocodeine.

RBK-I've just noticed you're in Surrey too-took me long enough. You can tell I'm blonde can't you! Anywhere near where OH is? Seems like a nice place around there, I don't know if thats where we're going to be based first of all, it might be somewhere in Newbury instead

Then went to a friend's for tea..had a roast and it was lovely, especially cos it was made for me. Hope I sleep tonight, having awful trouble switching off..and then when the alarm goes off I'm dead to the world. Hope everyone ok tonight xx

I'm doing admin at the CAB! I want to get into an officey type role, so this will give me some experience and hopefully look good on my cv. I have a lot of gaps so far, as my depression has meant i've left a lot of jobs. But I've had a job for a few months now (although I got paid on Thurs and already have no money left ), so with that, this volunteering, and my new course which starts on weds things will get better.

I honestly think I am coping better now. I'm not quite sure why though. I haven't felt really down in a long time. I was really upset last month, but that was because it was my mum's anniversary and somehow it felt different. I'm not getting upset for no reason really now. Maybe I'll never be "normal", but I think I'm getting there

Thats the point isn't it, "normal". I like to think its not so much normal, its just those who know and those who don't. The ones who don't are the lucky ones.

Glad to hear things are going well for you, and I know what you mean about real reasons for being upset compared with just being like it for no reason. Either way is horrible, but at least people understand if there is a "real" reason.

Hope it all goes well tomorrow, you deserve it
