Depression Support Thread

back2square1

Oh sorry I didn't realise.

I cried straight after posting my first thread, think it must have been relief that I have finally told someone what a sad life I have been leading.

I don't know if it's a sad thing that I've ended up having to tell complete strangers on MSE about my probs. But somehow I think it's kind of good having to actually type it out and then reading what you've typed about yourself and your probs. It makes it more realistic I suppose seeing it in black and white.

Hey sazbo Hope you re ok.

After reading everything people have said about their day, I feel a bit bad saying I had a good day. Work work work but I really enjoy it. What did you do today ?

Never feel bad about that x It's good to hear about the good days - it's what keeps us going!

Yep, work, work, work for me too lol. Wouldn't go so far as to say I enjoyed it, but it was ok... ish:D

I have always seen the same doc with regards to depression and meds. I am on a high dosage. I just submit repeat prescriptions for my meds now though.

I think my problem is more to do with my circumstances, I'm not sure. Basically I was attacked almost 3yrs ago and have had specific counselling to deal with it which finished Dec 2006. However I think I have been hiding it to my doctor how I am really getting on when I do seldom visit him. He is a brilliant doctor by the way.

After what happened to me 3yrs ago it has turned my life upside down and it took something away from me which I don't feel I'll ever get back, bit like someone blew the flame out on my candle - if you know I mean.

I find doing the bear minimum everyday, and that as long as my sons are getting everything they need then I'll just do that. But at the same time I know I am very unhappy and lonely.

No worries at all xx And no i dont think it's sad at all, in my opinion. Somehow as you say, seeing it typed in front of you, is helpful. Also, i've found that there's nearly always someone here that has a different slant on a problem, can help me see things from a different perspective, if that makes sense? A problem shared is a problem halved, and all that

For the past 2 years I have stayed in, I mainly sleep all day and do minimal housework. It's terrible. I have 2 wonderful sons who don't deserve any of it. I'm just not the person i used to be. I've always had depression took pills for the last 10years or so. But before I've still managed to have a job, my house was kept organised, tidy and very clean but over the last 2 years I do nothing except the school run then back to bed.

Welcome :wave:

Very similar to me. I can stay indoors for days at a time and seemingly do nothing at all, but sleep/watch TV/Come online. I sleep for anything from 10-12 hours and when i'm awake in the day, have no energy and just can't wait for bedtime.

I used to not go out because I feared being around people (which is laughable if you could see what I look like) now I don't want to go out as i've grown more angry at life and i'm more fearful of slapping some idiot around a bit too hard

It's just a case of taking each day at a time. I spend my days hoping my life will finish soon and find sleeping easier than being awake.

I don't have children like you as my daughter passed away, but I have cats - it's not the same, but it's living creatures that force me to stay alive to look after them and when they are gone, I shall go too.

How old are your Children? Are they old enough to understand depression or are they still primary school?

Welcome along and hope you become a regular poster for as long as you need too

I'm ever so sorry to be emotionally draining everyone on this thread this evening. I can see you are all upbeat and very supportive of one another.

I don't seem to be able to stop crying. 3yrs ago I had been accepted into University for the following Sept and was succeeding in everything and now my life is s***

Hey katie sweetheart! :wave:

Yes, not too bad thanks. Managed to escape the office to have lunch with some friends from work today, which was really nice, and made me feel I really should make the effort to do it more often.

So what's in your hectic schedule for tomorrow hun?!:D:D
