Depression support thread

We definately will!!! I'm not around ALL the time but I pop on and off during the day so if you ever need to just pm me, I always answer! x

I'm doing well. Back on painkillers which supress my appetite so have to set reminders on phone to eat and have to watch how many I take as last time I was on them I took silly amounts (not to od just to feel good) x


Oh god me too hun, I had to wean myself off codiene with my GP.......horrible situation.:wall2:(took me nearly 2 years)
 
Family hey?! Who'd have them?

I think people often feel like that when the kids aren't around :hugs: Good luck with your counsellor tomorrow!

I have only just found this thread and wanted to thank everyone for being so brave open and honest to share their stories and feelings. I was diagnosed with depression when I was a child and it's been a recurring factor in my life - I am not too good at sharing tho unfortunately. x

We're all here if you ever want/need to share. If you ever want to drop a pm instead of putting it here then that's what we're here for! x

Toonlass-how's being back at work treating you?

I'm getting really down at the minute because of the weather. I thrive best in the sunshine so get very down when it's shite weather! Also having to deal with loads of stress from both families and Christmas coming up! I'm also in talks with my solicitor about some compensation I'm due and I'm struggling with that as it brings back the (very fragmented) memories of the accident. Lots going on!
 
:hugs: The weather is just horrible hun, i really hope that you get all the compensation that you deserve xxx

BIG HUGS HELEN!!!!

Have you ever tried a light box? My friend has SAD and swears by her one.
Christmas and families = pain in the bum!
Hope you get things sorted and get the compensation sorted to!

Hugs for helen, sounds like your having a tough time chick and good luck to you pinky on completing your move! Hope your session goes weel today Ria :hug:

Hows everyone else?

Being back at work is brilliant!! :yay: i miss the kids but it is just so good to be around adults and to use my brain. I feel a sense of purpose now. I'm pretty tired but i'll get back into the swing of things soon. I have been poorly with a chest infection (AGAIN!) but i'm plodding on xx
 
Thank you Helen and Toonlass thats really nice of you. I am sure there will come a time when I want/can/need to share but if it's ok I would just like to lurk a little while x
 
Go for it x

Glad works treating you well Toon!

Thanks for the hugs girls x
 
Hi all
Sorry I keep disappearing. Not doing good again.
So bub is 3 and a half mths now, been back at uni 5 days a week (inc placement ) since he was 6 weeks. and im hardcore strugglking
i broke down with my tutor this week, literally cried for an hour and she suggested i leave for a year or two. looks like im going to because im not coping.
its not just leaving my son, tho that is killing me, but family stuff. a month ago my waste of space alcoholic father told me to rot in my grave, then this week i found out hes back with the ex-gf who threathened to stab my niec e and daughter, and kick my son out of my stomach when i was 4 mths pregnant. just stuff i've never really dealt with, mum, nan, etc. but i dont know if i ever will.
so now it looks like im leaving uni. stress will my partner get a job before my student finance runs out in january, will i cope being home alone with my son anyway. have i just screwed us up coz i probably wont go back to uni in the future. will we ever b able to afford a place if i leave it longer, i want more kids in the future, next in about 4 yrs... will we afford it? i sound so ridiuclous, but im on overdrive and scared. im just not coping
my tutor has refered me to the uni mental wellbeing advisor. and saw gp today, been reffered for counselling and antidepressants upped again. sorry for appauling spelling, just typing so fast coz im on overdrive. i just feel so screwed up xx
 
Oh hun:hug: you don't live with your dad do you? If not all I can suggest is to keep away from him and his bitch!
The uni thing, personally I wouldn't leave. Staying at home with a baby IMO is far harder than working/ uni.
You might find yourself cut off from people and the boredom can drive depression even further. Then like you said, you might never go back and then all the work you have put in so far would be wasted. Of course it's your decision but I suggest you give it slot if thought before making a decision xx
 
Hi girls. I havent read every single post here but the title caught my eye. Ive suffered from depression since I was 20 and Im now 34. I was on the evil drug Seroxat which used to give me nightmares about chopping up bodies and blood! They took me off it and put me on Citalopram which Ive been on and off for the last 9 years. Ive never hurt myself because of my depression but I have taken it out on people I love. Im now 4 months tablet free and Im very controlled and in a good place. The Dr thinks I should go back on them because I suffer anxiety and dizzy spells but I dont want to. I can do this on my own :)

Massive hugs honey x I also would not leave uni, use all the support they offer to try to stay! If you could I would try to cut him out from your life. You don't need people like him or her! You are a lot stronger than they, and you, think you are! x x
 
Hi cherry!!

Wow that's good going 4 months free! You're definately strong enough to do this without tablets! x x I think taking it out on the people you love is a form of self harm, emotional perhaps rather than physical? x
