Thank you sooo much. For helping me threw this difficult time It is helping me talking threw this

well we're all here with you every step of the way - just hang in there and come on here and post as many times as you like - we all want to help you through this <3

Thank you Mersey yesterday wen I went for the emergency doctor appointment he did say just take the important meds for now as the other meds can wait that's wat I'm doing today I went to supermarket food shp n I just broke down in tears

Tinkers like Ann says keep up with your meds , and please just take it day by day and it will be soon time to see your own doctor....Like I said we are all thinking of you <3 <3 <3

Thanx Ann I managed to eat half a sandwich the dog got other half I'm glad I'm not on me own I am seeing my normal doctor next Friday seems so far away as for me meds I've started takin my water pills and anti depression pills for now. The other pills can wait for now

well hang in there until you get to see your own doctor - not long to wait and you can do it - make sure you keep up with your meds, try to eat a bit and hopefully you'll manage to get a bit more sleep tonight XX <3 <3

Hello a little update I did manage to get a little sleep last night managed to eat a bit of food yesterday today I woke up wiv no tears but I'm starting to b tearfully now n can't stop shaking its a Gud job I hav someone here to keep an eye on me
Thanx all for listening ur the best

I went to c my doctor yesterday n he was hopeless

Carole. hello, so good to 'see' you. I too go on facebook but find it a bit too impersonal and still prefer GR. Your little grandson is gorgeous. we have a great Grandson now, he is 4 months old. Do call in and see us sometimes. You did a good thing when you started this thread. :-) :-)

Hello again :-D I've had a nudge from Mary that this thread was moving again. After having a read back I see some old friends and some new ones here.
I don't look into Genesreuntied often now, (got caught into facebook) and card making. Also I have my first baby grandchild, a boy who I love so very much. He is eight months old now.
I do like facebook but this thread is more like a conversation where we can all join in, and keep more to the subject. Even though we can also talk about anything.
Personally I'm still on the tablets. Several years on citalopram, cbt, and any other olygists you care to mention have all had a share in me. But this thread at it fastest moving was the biggest help. It gave me something to look forward to without the face to face contact which can be so difficult when feeling low. Some of the advice offered on here can be difficult to accept but it's the best, you just need a little self motivation to get yourself better. If you live alone its even harder, but knowing people on here will ask about you, and want to know if your're trying their ideas (and your own) is motivating.

well that's a start - a small one in one way but a big one in others - keep at it and hopefully your own doctor will step in and make things better for you <3 <3

Just a wee update yesterday I managed to take sum of my pills, I managed to eat sumthing at tea time but only a little bit and I manages sum sleep last night too which is a start tho I'm still really depressed and heart broken so I guess I just hav to learn to liv wiv things that's happened and me being patient me patient is impossable

Thank ladies wen I went to the doctor I found he wasn't much help at all so I guess I'll hav to wait next week till I c my normal doctor

I had an email message from Carole yesterday, I'll rattle her chains . . . Hope the tea helps Tinkers, baby steps, <3 <3 <3 <3

Does anyone know how and where Carole is these days? I don't think I have seen her on the boards for a long time.

I've been in that dark place and was lucky enough to get helped out of it, and with the right support, you'll get out of it too!!! :-) :-) :-) <3 <3 <3

Thanx maxi and Ann I have one hell of a long way to go but I've got to pull myself together no matter how hard its gonna be fuming on here to talk bout my feelings has help one hell of a lot the state I was in

I have had my tea tonight the first time I've eaten since Sunday I didn't go to sleep last night so with any luck ill drop of


Once again thank you all for ur help and support

So glad to see our beloved Depression thread coming back to life, caring flowing between its members. Tinkers, many of us have had times, since this thread started, where we have been the ones needing a shoulder. Some have come and gone, others have left to gain their wings, but the thread remains effective in helping each other. We are in your corner, and just want to encourage you, and anyone else, to speak up, when you are having a bad day. This has been one of the best threads on GR for almost 6 years, thanks to Carole, renowned leader of the depressed and anxious!!!!! LOL. :-)

well keep popping in and out of here - and if you want to talk, send me a message and I'll give you my phone number - my calls to land lines in the UK are free, so if you'd rather me ring you, just let me know :-)

Thank you all soo much I really appreciate it and it has help me getting threw this tho my card makin stuff is in the loft on Monday I went and bought sum knitting needles and wool and started makin a scarf of all things and that has helped to keep me busy I am starting to get panicky now cos I find the evenings r the worse but I'm gonna try so hard to control myself tho its hard

Tinkers, hope you are feeling a little bit less depressed this evening. Shame that your card making stuff is in the loft, I'm sure that making a few cards would help take your mind off things. Like you and Ann and others on GR, I also make cards, and find that it helps me, most of the time.

As the others have said, don't worry about the mess in the house while you are having work done there.....it will all soon get sorted and will soon be back to normal.

We are all here for you and always ready to listen.

Take care of yourself.

Love, Sallie.xx
