. Tired . Fine.
Excellent news. Now do you wait to hear about the results and the plans for how you move forward from here? How soon to you expect to be told what comes next?Yesterday was a really hard day; I've not had one like that for some time. After a listless, apathetic long weekend and a good day with friends on Tuesday, I got into work on Wednesday and promptly burst into tears. Nobody had said anything to me, I didn't have anything specific to do first, I just felt completely overwhelmed by everything and nothing. Managed to pull myself together for most of the rest of the day (just, at times). Then went home, had a healthy tea (it was a 500 cal day). Felt starving, made some muffins (ate 2), and then went to bed and cried myself to sleep.
Today was better but the weepiness is still only just under the surface. I could up my anti-d's but that feels like something I won't reduce later, so I really don't want to unless it becomes inevitable. Today was better but it's no way to live really.
Indeed. "No way to live" is a good way to describe it.
So sorry it's being like this for you. Hope you can find something that helps soon. Do you know anyone who's bereaved?

Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.0 -

I'm not down, or depressed, or sad.... it's just there are lots of sad things around and it's good to let it out
Then have a cig ......
I guess mine are more "oh, that was a sad thought/thing" cries, rather than an "I'm doomed/isn't life !!!!" type ... probably could be likened to somebody watching lots of sad films
I think that everyone who is depressed experiences it in their own way. In my case when I was depressed it was an overwhelming lack of emotion. It wasn't that I felt life was terrible it was that I'd go for weeks without feeling sad or happy or anything else.
That, by the way, is long passed.
Lots of people experience it as anxiety... always being scared of things that might happen. Not exactly unhappy but not able to escape the prison of their own fears.
Some people experience the kind of emotions you describe but that isn't the only or most common type of depression.“The ideas of debtor and creditor as to what constitutes a good time never coincide.”

You can do what you have just done - [STRIKE]listen[/STRIKE] read and acknowledge, and be part of the conversation, and care. It makes people feel less alone, so sometimes it helps.Do you know anyone who's bereaved?

Yorkie, so sorry that life is battering you so much that you feel so bad. All I can do really is send you Big Hugs from Liverpool. As the late great George Harrison might say - "All things shall pass."
I'm hoping that tomorrow will be a better day for you.
And have some more hugs from Liverpool too! :grouphug:0
