Been a interesting few weeks for me, caught something when going to parents for Christmas, which took 10 days to go away, then got another train and it came back (though different symptoms) which isn't the best as I have 2 job interviews over next few days which I want to be at my best for.

On the medication side when I am tired/low I feel worse than before but that might also be because they are slowing down other thoughts and thus making the bad feelings clearer, but I am also more active, watching movies, doing a huge amount of DIY etc its more like my brain has gone from being flooded with information to flooded with less thoughts but the same amount of flood.

When I took my overdose at the end of September last year the proceeding fortnight or so was 'strange' to say the least.

For days afterwards I felt myself staring into space and not thinking a single thing; which felt odd as I'm an over thinker!

It's great to see you're being more active; it's something I ought to be doing more of.

I really hope 2019 is a better year for all of us who post/read this thread; I know life is a rollercoaster and sometimes it would be nice to get off... but once you've reached the bottom, the only was is up :A

I've seen a volunteering role at an old people's home which I would very much like to do. It to spend a few hours a week with them talking about the old days and helping the reminisce. The application says I need two references who can't be relations, and one of them must be a previous employer. I've been a housewife for nearly 30 years and do the odd days work in my husbands shop. I don't know any neighbours well enough to ask them, and I only socialise with family. I don't have any friends, I fell out with my only one 3 years ago and my social awkwardness has never made me very good at making ones. I feel like I'm doomed to be stuck at home forever, I don't have any skills to get a paid job and it appears volunteering is impossible now too. What can I do? I would love this role.

Contact them to explain the situation with regards to employers - in yoursituation they'd probably waive that requirement. Who do you have contact with in the shop - is there anyone there who might be able to help? It doesn't need to be a friend or anyone close. They just need to know that you are who you say you are, that you're reliable and that you're not going to mug the old folks.
