Depression Support Thread

Horasio

I am in a position for the first time ever that I can do what I want.

My OH is wanting to go part time in his job and set up a business but our relationship is strained. I feel I can breathe when he is out at work. It would mean a lower income if he gave up and of course lower income if I'm alone but I have never felt peace in my own home. Our son is 20 years old and been married 26 years next week.

I am worried about being too near my mum as she can be controlling. My family being such hard work has meant I haven't been able to work or make friends because I needed too much from them because I am worn down by my family and haven't been able to offer as much as I should.

don't think i'll ever be anything other than a mother/carer to my two sons, they are 13 this april, and i'm still unable to work or have a life, cos i spend my time caring for them. feeling down, feel like having a massive spending spree to cheer myself up lol.
been to look at some cars, would really like a convertable, but most of them don't have enough legroom, or headroom, which is a pain as i'm 6' 1" tall.
binge eating again, but least not sh'ing since episode the other day.
just wanna be happy, whatever that is

diamond, so glad to hear your son is ok today

Have a big HUG girlie xxx

I have that trouble with cars too.
I always have to have a big family car even though it's just me in it 99% of the time.

morning gilly, thanks for hug, needed it this morning x
hope everyone is ok this morning, seems quiet on here lately, hopefully you are all well and out enjoying yourselves.
going to take son to coast, as its just the two of us, so i told him i'd try and spoil him this weekend.
feel so tired, having a coffee, then a shower, hopefully will wake me up before i drive, if not some loud music should help lol
not given up looking for new car yet, so if any one has any suggestions for a sporty car, preferable convertible, that is suitable for tall people with extra long legs, loads room in back for kids extra big (size 13 and still growing :eek: )
feet let me know.
big hugs everyone

Belated birthday wishes to Santashelper...hope you were spoiled rotten:p

Hey Ho to all the guys & gals....I'm going along ok-ish, but unfortunately BIL service is not till the end of next week. Just as folks are beginning to realise they have to carry on despite losing a loved one, everything comes & smacks you in the face again:o
One thing is he requested no black or black ties, so we're busy matching up disney ties to coloured shirts...don't want to be too garish, but also want to reflect the fun-loving nature that he had.

Better go...the laundry won't do itself:eek: Peaceful Minds folks. BMFx

Thank You

I wish I could feel the love My flatmate tells me I interact with people well and that girls are always looking at me and I tell her

Thats because i'm 6'9 & very big built AND/OR i'm facially unattractive

Maybe i'm not as bad as I make out but you know what it's like when you are down on yourself

What is that smiley trying to do :eek:

How is dawnylou at the moment?

I really wish you could too!!

I know only too well

I think I am ok. Going back to work in a couple of days so trying to prepare myself!!
Having a couple of problems though - washer broke so had to buy another on credit card and just now the glass panel on our oven door just shattered and fell out!!!

I have been awful with my eating but i dont care, makes me happy.It has taken me all these years to actually look healthy.I have always been skinny,when ever i have problems which is always or i feel so low i sue to starve myself, days even weeks on end and would be as low as 6st, my clothes that would be a size 8 would hang off me. Now since Ive stopped smoking rather than stave myself when I feel down I eat, i eat when i feel like a fag,mmm specially galaxy,what ever I can get my hands on really, i have myown secret stash of food.My son luckily eats well and doesnt like the junk stuff i do.I will get healthier eventually.Now i way over 8st and im a size 10 but jeans are to tight on me, dunno should i be happy as im now thinking my clothes are not fitting me.

Didnt wake up till late 2day,done housework and thats about it.Feel so tired all the time.Hope you all had a lovely day and have a lovely weekend.
Hugs and love 2u all xx
