Depression Support Thread

where did everyone go??

hi all, thought I'd got lost there for a while, couldn't find the thread!

how are we tonight? (((hugs))) to everyone who is having a bad time, CCStar, rose and meeyore especially.

I've had a really bad couple of weeks which is why I haven't been online at all. OH is in hospital, has been since the beginning of April, he had a 11cm wide cyst on his pancreas which was causing all the different symptoms he's had since November. They managed to drain it Tuesday last week, but then the pneumonia that had been brewing for a while hit him hard and he's been down in ICU twice this weekend. Ended up with scratches all down my left arm from sitting in the waiting room the first night he went down to ICU because I got a phone call in the middle of the night saying would I come in because they had the crash cart and all sorts out 'just in case'.....

The only good thing was that my Dad and my Nan were here at the time so at least there was someone here to talk to when I got back. God, I miss my Floss :S .

The latest is that his insides seem to be sorting themselves out slowly, the pancreas surgeon wants him to have an Op, he don't wanna have it :rolleyes: . His breathing is getting better, and he's looking less like a corpse, but now it seems his nose-swab for MRSA was positive this afternoon, so goodness knows how that's going to turn out!

So, it's just me sitting here, telling myself its going to get better....

((((((big hugs)))))) again to anyone who needs one

Thank you for your kind words - I feel very alone tonight.

I don't feel close to my OH tonight and my son has his mates round and didn't invite me - not that I'm bothered, I don't feel like I am good company just now. I feel fat and ugly and every time I feel OK, I feel put down by my OH miserable face then got at when I feel upset by things when I talk to my mum about it. Our son isn't interested.

No wonder I comfort eat to get my blood sugar up again after being upset brings it down, and drink to cheer myself up, it numbs any worries about being deflated I get when I get happy.

I'm a flipping mess

I hope your feeling a little better today. It is so hard when no one understands you. My brother is always having a go at me for being so misrable, my eating and everything else. I prefer being left alone as being told things like that, makes me more down. Its hard to switch off and after a while, its hard to keep an act on, pretending that everything is ok.

Anyway, sending you hugs hun, I know words dont do much but I can truley understand where you are coming from and what you are going through.
Take care xx

I feel dreadful - didn't get to sleep till 6am

Our son had mates around and it kept us awake and he didn't put his rubbish out like he promised.

I was meant to be going out with my mother but I feel too ill and she's not understanding when I feel ill.

I don't feel supported by my OH or mother. Our son gets away with murder and I am pulled up for everything - expected to be perfect and put up with bad behaviour. I feel bullied. I swear if I had had a brother he would have been the golden child and me the black sheep. Are all parents this soft on boys/males - no wonder they behave badly, they get away with it.

It's making me want to die or run away.

I had to cancel visit to my mother which upsets me - she was OK about it but feel bad letting her down. My OH was kept up too so can't get on and will have to have a serious talk about growing up!!!

sazzy's counsellor - ......psst - over here! I know you have a lot on your plate so if you ever need someone to talk to... Failing that, maybe we could come to some arrangement in exchange for juicy bits for The Tiff Chronicles?:whistle: Or are you now in therapy yourself?! Just kidding sazzy hun - loves ya really - well...on Thursdays to be precise!

- he's been signed off on long-term stress leave:o :rotfl:

That did make me laugh! It's good to hear from you angel. I know when you're so quiet that things are a bit of a struggle at Tiff Towers. Please always remember that this thread is just as much a haven for you as it is for all of us. You've looked after all of us so well, me especially, please allow me to repay your kindness, or at least make a start on it:) Always here for you. Take care my dearest Tiffy friend and speak soon, Sazzy xxxxxxx

Big hugs to poppycracker and CC.

And big soppy sazzy kisses to each and everyone of you. Have a good day.

Much love,
Sazzy xxxxxxxx

My friend Nikki said she is going to make arrangements so she can come with me to the ED clinic in June. She doesn't want me to go alone so she said she will come with me.

The plumbers are meant to be coming today but they haven't text me yet. I hope they don't leave it until tomorrow because I have the drop in to go to tomorrow. =/

I need to create some art. =/
