Depression Support Thread

The cat which was asleep earlier on my shoulder (she's callede Baby) wanted to go outside. But the wind had blown the catflap so that it was flapping inwards if you know what I mean. She was trying to get her head underneath it so she could go outside but the wind hadnt blown it far enough and she couldnt work out what to do! It was so funny cos she was grumbling to herself as she was doing it! In the end I had to hold it open for her.

lol.

Today I have to 1) send my sicknote into work (should have done this thurs last week but hadn't remembered to do it and 2) must start on my OU course again as I havent been able to do any for last 4 weeks and have an assignment due 13th July as well as residential school niext month. Am feeling quite spacey and sleepy at the moment because Dr upped the anti-depressants.

:hello: Everyone,

I woke up at 8am today intending to go to Karioke like I always do and I didnt feel well again so I cancelled it and cancelled my lunch as well at the pub, but I am seeing a doctor this afternoon for a chat about it all at 4pm ish with Mum and Dad there in attendance with me in case I cant explain things too well.I am just so tired of being the way I am with this bipolar and I am sick of my illness and feeling ill all the time,I so wish there was a day when I could wake up and say hey I feel so much better and so alive and stay that way all day but at the moment I am fighting a losing battle.I just feel so tired


*hugs* to those that need one,glad you are ok now Shaz from yesterday


love and light,

Hi Jen,

What seems to be the problem?

Hi, well after I sent the message things went really bad and it stopped working entirely.... I am now writing this from the uni library. I have taken the machine to a shop and they said that to fix it they will need to do a reinstall costing £35 if I had the CD's and without £50 - so I have to find the CD's sharpish....

I feel completely lost without my laptop.

I also went to the SU advice centre and they said that if I refuse this job the JSA may find out about it .... but that I will be entitled to receive some housing benefit if for instance I just did 20 hours (which seems more managable that 39ish they seemed to be pushing me to do).

I'm not sure when I can come back online so see ya when I see ya.

hugs to everyone,

Jen

I've just been allocated a care worker, anyone know what one of these is?

Is it someone who is part of a mental health team? Maybe this is the person who will be your care co-ordinator (this is what they called it in the borough I used to live in).

Hi all. OH is being marginally less cranky today, AND I've got a freelance job, so that'll be a bit of dosh for the Cholly coffers! OH even smiled!

Heya Jen. Laptops are very temperamental things aren't they? The amount of times my laptop has almost died on me is absurd but I'm lucky that I'm good with computers so I always manage to nurse it back to health.lol.

I still can't find my usb cable for my phone and to be honest it's stressing me out. I know it's not important but I never lose anything. My eyeshadow applicator brushes seem to have gone missing too. I think some pixies are having a field day with me. :rotfl:

hi feelie, i have a care worker who is part of mental health team, i see her once a week, but can ring anytime for a chat. when i do see her it is for 2 hours at a time, and she does a wide range of things depending what support is needed. today for example she took me shopping and we had a coffee.
chollita, congrats on the job, well done
katie, how did you get on at the doctors?
anni, i used to stress over losing things, but i misplace so much now, i'm kinda used to it lol
my wii fit that i got on ebay arrived today, and i've already had a go
dont think it likes me tho, it gave me a wii fit age of 44, and i'm only 37
hugs all
