Depression support thread

[MrsR]

I've never had any help with it. The only time I've ever seen someone about it I was shoved anti-depressants and shown the door! I come from a family who aren't demonstrative and don't share how they feel etc so I find it hard to share everything about my depression and will often hide as much as I can, even with doctors. I learnt very early to compartmentalise physical and emotional pain and lock it away. Right now my eating is ok, I often forget lunch but I eat healthily at breakfast and dinner and I look at it that eating 2 meals is better than no meals.

How're you all doing? x

hello all i havent been on here for aaaggess. this thread has been so good for everyone to share hasn't it? i didn't know so many people go through similar things as me! i felt like a freak for ages as i don't have many mates because of 'the way i am'.

Toon - i got prescribed Citilopram last year and it made me suicidal. i ran into a window as hard as i could and banged my head with a pan repeatedly. so DEFFO not a good experience. i am on sertraline now and that's really helped me.

i've seen a psychlogist now for an my initial appointment. and i think it went ok. they said they're gonna try me with counselling first which i said i've already tried but they said they wanna see how i go on first! then they're gonna see if CBT will help. i just hope i get the right help!!

i hope everyone is having a good day today and i just want to stress that if anyone wants to talk i am always by my blackberry and emails come straight through if i get a PM! my laptop broke at the min so that's why i havent been on much xxxxx

I'm here chick!

Doing ok, and taking one day at a time. I'm going back to work full time next monday and i think it will be really good for me. My cuts have healed but i reckon they will scar, i feel so stupid!! OH has lost his job so that adds to my load but i reckon that now things can't get any worse so they can only get better or so i hope.

Sorry i havent been around for a while, i hope everyone is ok. Those of you who arent doing so good, i hope you come through it soon. This thread is always here for people who need to sound off, even if no one reply's its good to get it off your chest. See i tend to hide away when i'm at my worst and i come out of the shadows once i have come through the episode. I know i shouldn't but i think its what we depressed people do.

Stay strong ladies. Were all in the same boat, were all 'normal' and were all bloody brilliant xx

[Toonlass]

Hi cande! Yeah sometimes it feels like there is no silver lining to them clouds eh? If you ever need to talk, you know where we are

Come on girlies!! Updates please!! How's everyone getting on?
I guess you guys can tell by now that when I'm at my worst I hide so the fact that I am spamming up the whole of PF again is a good sign lol. Back to work on Monday (eeeeekkk) looking forward to the feeling of purpose and the adult conversation that work brings but I am a teeny bit apprehensive. Work know I am a basket case and are very supportive so that's a good thing.

to all that need them and love to you all xx

 

[MrsR]

Ooooooh good luck with back to work on Monday! Very exciting stuff! It must be great to have their support as well x

 

[Toonlass]

It does help things that they support me being a head case lol!! I don't take time off sick (just when the kids are sick really) so they appreciate that I go in when I'm particularly low and help me when they can. They let me go outside for air and distract me when they see me having an anxiety attack. I sometimes get on a rant about things and they let me get on with it and turn into something funny. They are great xx

 

[MrsR]

Wow they sound absolutely amazing!!!

All sounding so positive! Yay! Plus adult conversation when you've been subjected to baby talk for months is always welcome!
