    Morning all, well done fg I know its ruddy hard but you are doing really well xx

    Do you want to chat?

    I am going to be really brave now and try not to blow up the laptop through crying.:eek:


    I have been keeping up with everyone but was not in the right frame of mind to talk.:confused:

    I thought I had learnt to manage (create diversions) so as not to s/h and had not done it for nearly 5 months. Like all addictions once your off the wagon you don't want to stop.
    I am lucky to have support and I had a week away with a friend and I have not s/h for 3 days.
    But today I have an appointment (confessional) I know I don't have to tell her anything I don't want to but have learnt that I need to be honest to get the best help for myself.

    I don't want to get up :mad: . Can't rearrange as have changed twice already.

    fg please pass over the choccy orange :A

    The doctor at the Eating Disorder Clinic told me to follow a meal plan. He said I should make my own plan and stick to it. My plan involves three meals. One of icecream, one of chocolate, and one of roast dinner. I don't seem to be losing wieght :confused:

    Hi

    I've been a reader for a while and kept wanting to post but wasn't really sure what to say.

    I've suffered from depression since I was 4 - happy to explain why but not sure how to put it (39 now).

    Anyway I have got to the point where I just don't feel that I can keep 'pulling myself together' and 'putting a brave face on it'.

    I've had counselling, drugs, specialists etc until it's coming out of my ears but all I really want is to be understood by someone, anyone. I know that my family, partner and GP have no idea what my life is like - they're just not interested.

    Finally the only way I can feel half able to cope is through alcohol which I know is not the right road to take.

    Anyway I'll leave it there, sorry to intrude I just thought it might help to see it in black and white.

    Hi curled, and welcome. Im pretty new here too. I dont think anyone can really understand depression unless theyve been through it. Ive been told many times to pull myself together and its just not that simple. I wish it was. Feel free to write here whenever you want. X
