Depression Support Thread

Heya ilgd. :wave:

Karl is a lovely guy. I've known him for 7 years and he's always been there for me and stuck up for me through everything. He's always been fighting in my corner. Now, I just have to decide what to wear for the date which is going to be so hard. I'm so indecisive.lol.
I've never felt guilty about not sending him a card before but this year I do. I think it's because of the email he sent me and he also put in it that either I'm not getting his emails or I'm ignoring him and he hopes it isn't the latter because it would upset him. Now I feel like such a horrible person because I have been ignoring his emails because every time I reply I get upset as it brings back a lot of memories.

Hi everyone!

Got my grass all cut, phew. Glad that's over... it's not even that big, I just hate doing it! Worst of it is, it'll need done again next week, I'll moan about it for 2 weeks after that, then eventually do it again!

Thanks for the idea unixgirl, I will look in to that. The doc said a massage might help! There is a college not too far from me, that I think does those types of courses, maybe I'll be in luck!

Hope it goes well at the psychologist, Katie & Chollita.

Thanks SF, I hope they do find out what's wrong and can do something to help. I'll prob need another endoscopy, and I'm dreading that! I had one in Nov, and felt so brave for letting them do it, but didn't one another ever again in my whole life! They decided my gallbladder was the problem and took it out, but my stomach is just as bad as ever!!

Anni, things are sounding really good with Karl. You're doing the right thing taking it slowly. I hope it goes really well and wish you all the best of luck.

Sorry you & Jen have S**t dad's. I had a great Dad, (and Mum) but neither are still here. My son has a totally s**t dad, so knowing what that's been like, I really feel for everyone who hasn't been as lucky as me.

Hope everyone's ok this afternoon?

its good news about karl cos if hes known you so long then hes seen the good and the bad and so theres no need to pretend or feel pressure.and you know hes a genuine guy who likes you for yourself, so id say grab with both hands cos you deserve some happiness.:A
as for those emails.....hes still trying to manipulate you so dont let him get under your skin.so what if hes upset???what goes round, comes round.surely he knows what he did to you was wrong and why you would be upset with him.i know hes family but you dont owe him anything, even friendship.hes prob getting upset cos he knows you can manage without him and you havent risen to his bait.you showed them that you can go it alone and you dont need them anymore, and good for you.
its up to you if you want to keep the contact going and you know how you feel about him...but dont let him bully you just cos hes trying to make you feel sorry for him.
sorry if im telling you what to do but i feel strongly cos i hope im your friend and want whats best for you...and i hate to see you hurt.xx

Evening all, hope you are well. Hiya also to the newbies. Am feeling a lot less wobbly today

Alba, I don't have a lawn thank goodness, I have a yard! When I got this place I specifically made sure there wasn't a blade of grass to be cut! I hate gardening.

Lan, go to your doctor and get some different antidepressants, Sertralin is supposed to not give you any weight gain and have less side effects than others.

Lady Mortica - you are only allowed to go out with Karl if you tell us all about him! He sounds lovely..............could he be the one..........................;)

ilgd, do you still have a dog? and great danes are HUGE, I've got Jack Russells, they are little like me!

feelinggood, hmmm voluntary work, someone mentioned it to me yesterday, there are loads more things to do rather than a charity shop. I used to help out a refugee place, I was helping to teach a Columbian lady english, we had a great time over a cup of tea!

Tulip, Tiff and slowlyfading - hello ladies

and top-drawer, don't know if you are a newbie or not - hello

septemberblues

and if I missed anyone out, sorry!

Hello CCStar if you are about
and gillette 147.........................

Is that everyone? Have I missed anyone out!!!!:p

Have kept myself busy today, as it's the lovely twice weekly psychotherapy tomorrow, after hydrotherapy, which I hate. And I have a doctor's apt first, so I will be knackered/stressed/tired tomorrow. That's after a sleepless night, cos I always worry when I have an appointment the next day! How ridiculous. Does anyone else do that?

alba37

Yes I do. I worry about every appointment and practically everything I have to do! One appoint a day is well enough fr me. I have given up on psychologists, due to the worry before hand and feeling S**t after, it wasn't worth the stress for me!

Hope your day goes better then you expect, tomorrow.
