Hi roversbabe!:hello:
How are you today hun?

quote=roversbabe;
Hiya everyone,
Sorry I've not been around - I've gone back to work and not had any chance to get on the computer. I've been on prozac for the last 3 weeks and they have been BRILLIANT! I'm almost back to my old sparkly & irritatingly cheerful self.
Oh hun, that's fantastic!:j Great news both about the meds and work.;)
I can do irritating and cheerful as well - usually in the same post!:D

I have had a bit of a setback - was very low yesterday and had worrying thoughts again. Got to the point again where I didn't want to live anymore. These episodes are getting shorter though which I guess is a good thing. My diary for yesterday makes lousy reading though .
The lower days come with the higher ones sadly. I'm glad you're seeing as just a setback hun. Sometimes, it's just down to life or natural human moods. if we didn't have the lows, we wouldn't feel the highs.;) The diary will help you on the low days hun because you'll have proof in your hands that you do go up again. i hope today is better for you angel.

Am a lot better today, bags of energy and lighter mood - I've even managed to get my contact lenses in for the first time in months - I couldn't be bothered before.
Always a good idea hun!:D How on earth did you read people's posts?;)

Once the AD's kicked in, my energy levels soared and I decluttered my bedroom (its been a dumping ground for about a year :rolleyes:). Sounds like such a small thing but its been months since I've even been able to think about tidying, let alone doing it. I felt such a sense of achievement and felt totally lifted. My bedroom is a far more relaxing place now too.
Who thought they'd ever be happy to be able to clean?!:rolleyes: It's a great feeling and decluttering is a comforting act as you've created a haven for yourself.
Tiffy thinks you should come and stay at Tiff Towers for...
*how many rooms have I got? 1...2...4...*
the foreseeable future!:D :rotfl:

Had my 1st appointment with the mental health team. Spoke for about an hour or so on how I've been feeling and what life has been like for the past few years - after the lengthy discussion, she concluded that I'm not clinically depressed, its just the way I am. The main reason that she has ruled out clinical depression is because I've not lost any weight - I still have a good appetite and am sleeping OK. Now I am a bit of a bloater, so weight loss would have been truly welcome
There are other forms of depression hun, so it may not be clinical depression. Ironically, some people comfort eat and sleep more when they're depressed. I'm glad you've got the professionals in hun. Don't be afraid to ask your questions or for a better explanation of why you feel the way you do.;)

I'm completely confused by her diagnosis as 2 doctors have said that my symptoms are classic depression symptoms, and any physical cause has been ruled out?!??!?!? Result is one extremely baffled Allie who feels like she has been both lied to and doesn't know what to do for the best - I have NOT made up any symptoms, I told the docs everything and this has made me feel really hurt.
I can understand why you might feel these things hun.
I can only guess that maybe the physical causes might be a health problem which might affect your body chemistry - you should ask her about that hun - or maybe a chemical imbalance that can cause depression. At least you know this is not the case with you.
There's a lot to take in during your first few times hun and not many people do understand straight away. It's very much a learning curve with mental ill health.;)

Diagnosis is a slow process angel and has many layers. We can be prone to being over-sensitive when we're unwell - did she actually say you were making it up hun? Or is it what you assumed she meant?

Whether the cause of depression is physical or due to life events or for any other reason, it still affects you and is still depression hun. You should tell them how you feel about this angel so that they can explain and hopefully reassure you. This will hopefully mend the trust between you both and can be a really positive thing to do.;)
Like anything else we learn, we need to be able to understand so that we don't throw our arms in the air and give up. It would be a shame to miss out on any help just because we don't understand. It's their job to explain things until they are understood.;)

I'm going back tomorrow for a CBT appointment so I've got a few questions for her, like if I'm not depressed, 1, why has the prozac worked, 2, why do I get days like yesterday, where everything is bleak and there is no point to life anymore, 3, why have 2 doctors diagnosed me with depression if that isn't the case. Allie xx[/quote]
If there was nothing wrong hun, you certainly wouldn't be getting cbt, imho. Good luck for today angel and don't be afraid to keep asking questions.
Much Love,
Tiff xxx
