Oh - and another thing I've just thought of. Apparently, Depression can be caused by the absence of, or limited amount of, a certain chemical in the brain.
It doesn't mean that somebody's "just feeling sorry for themselves"; Depression isn't like that. That's another reason why THAT phrase gets to me so much!

PMSL at you and your knickers Glenys lol


yes - believe me depression is no picnic in the park ...............

it's taken 3 bad spells in the past 8 years for me to realise that i suffered it for about 12 months in my early 20's

i can remember clearly, coming home from work and just sitting up in my room until it went dark - doing nothing or falling asleep.......... going downstairs to eat and then returning to my prone position sat fixed on my bed until bedtime ....

it was a bleak time but at that age i had no knowledge of depression and no comprehension of what was happening to me - it just 'happened'

Sending you all my love Anita, My family is collaspsing around my ears at the moment, so I do truly understand how it feels to live with sadness,


Take care love,

Caz xxxx

Awwww Caz i'm sorry to hear that sweetheart :O(

(((hugs))) for you xxx

The way I feel today is if a dark veil is covering my head. I feel no one cares, and no one wants to know. I feel frightened, frightened that something bad is going to happen, even though there is no reason for feeling that way. A tidal wave of bleakness overpowers me, making me want to sink down and sleep to forget. I really want to run and scream till I cant scream no more, to feel utterly exhausted, to rid myself of those feelings .I smile but that smile doesnt reach my eyes, I talk on auto pilot.

I know it will pass, but at the moment I feel trapped into a corner I cant get out of

Anita, do a " Glenys the Menace " and get your Knickers out of a twist,Get your Glad rags on and treat your self to something nice.You are as you say " Suffering from Depression " There has to be a reason why you,re Depressed,Find it and get rid of it,no matter what or who it is,Then and only Then will you start to feel better.**M**.Harry.xxxx. Ps. Why not hire yourself a "Stripogram"? could be fun,I,m sure some of the girls on here would be happy to join you.xxx,

ann and mildred hope you both start to feel better soon
does anyone know why we get that feel of dread/doom as if your waiting for bad news , ive had that the last couple of days, then my sisters flat got burgled so weird im back on citalopram after a trial on duloxitine which was poo i feel like a zombie in slow motion and me words are more muddled lol xx,
ps merlin i would love a good night out wuith a striper corrrrrrrrr

Elaine - that's very much how i get - i feel no one cares and all i want to do is sleep to escape the feeling of despair..........

And like you, i know also that it will pass - but it doesn't really help at the time does it??

I hope you'll feel brighter soon x


Harry & Puss - i think a good night IN with a stripper would help lol

Puss i hope things pick up for you too - i was on citalopram but it just made me pile on loads of weight and that was causing me upset so i stopped taking it (with GP knowledge)........

Hi Anne, glad you are feeling more positive today and hope your doc can sort you out. It was good to chat and even have a laugh last night - don't forget where I am! You still have to visit our city sometime so keep that in mind for the future.

My answer to anyone who says pull yourself together is 'I am not a pair of curtains so go whistle!'

Have a look at a site that will tell you about feel good foods, there are lots of good things that help you feel better, not just chocolate lol. Porridge, or anything oaty, helps calm you and there are fruits that help, a banana helps you sleep and also contains other things to help boost you.

Had a thought, is Margaret twin to another member (banned?) whose name begins with S and has a song about her, and one about her mother lol?

Hope today is better and you have some up moments. People are right about classes or groups, will soon be time for adult education stuff to start up again if you have somewhere local, you could attend one evening a week fairly cheaply I expect and meet others while you learn a language, or do something 'crafty'. Maybe try a car maintenance class, men and women go to those and it could be useful and save you money.
Good luck hon,

Lizxx

Elaine, hope you come out of your 'dark corner' soon, have been there and got the tshirt(s) - not a good feeling but hope things get better soon.

Lizxx

I see Margaret has had the good grace to delete - thank you Margaret

Liz, Did I read that right "Car Maintanance?" Anita would be better off with a "Stripper" and I,m sure they would be able to instruct her in the ways of "Servicing" and Tuning.:o)))))))>.pmsl.**M**.

no probs hun!

Yes - it's always best to say nothing if you can't say anything nice i find .............



Anyway - just phoned the surgery to find that my GP is on hols until 18th - so i'm gonna have to hang on till then - i can't be doing with explaining 8 years of history to a different doc, so i'll wait and hope i hold out till then

You will-us grumpy so'n so's are made of sterner stuff!!!

Elaine, sorry that you too are feeling so down and I hope that things 'lift' for you soon.

Ann

Hello Anita, glad you're feeling a bit better today. Been having a few "down" days myself, so know how you feel, not quite depression, but still adjusting to losing my dad. Know it will get better eventually.

Will be here or on Facebook if you want a natter!

(((HUGS))) for those needing them at the moment.

Mcanne I know I am changing the subject slightly - but if I never said before: one night I had an uncle round that used to live in your your neck of the woods it was almost a year ago - the night I think before my emergancy op.

I had my uncle round and wasnt feeling too well and asked if it was ok if he pm'd you though my account as you shared an area to live although not at the same time you two chatted for a bit on PM through my account. It meant so much that you knew people that we knew though my grandaparents - you made someone very happy that night - I dont think you realise the happiness you bring to other peoples lives.

You may not have lived where you do when we did - but your neighbours did and your stories rang bells.

Thank you so much for taking the time to talk to him when he was here and I think your chat will be remembered for many years to come xx You bought a lot of love and laughter into my house and maybe I was remiss in not telling you how much that was appreciated.

Maddie, that's lovely. I hope Missus reads this and realises how much of an impact she made that evening.
Anitaaaaaaaaaaaa! Are you there?
