Sorry you are feeling low, Lem. Is there any particular reason or just a general feeling?

Glad you got some sleep, Pulledapart.

I've taken the dog to have his stitches out, my mum for a mammogram and I'm looking after my sister's dog so they can all have a day out. Just been up to take him for a walk, going back up in a couple of hours.

natasha thanks I needed the sleep. Glad ur keeping urself busy. Hw u feeling in yourself today?

(Lem). Glad you are feeling a bit better Natasha, or sounding it.

I'm really really struggling, too hot with anxiety, pain everywhere, in huge overdraft and not sure I have enough to cover my bills. Just so tired and there's so much to do with dd. I hope this gets better because I feel awful.

Going out tonight so I haven't stayed in doing nothing all week. I could cry I'm so tired and anxious.

I'm just keeping busy. Feel totally cut off and isolated. I tried crisis again earlier and they said they'd ring back but so far they haven't.

Katkins can you talk to someone about your finances? Maybe try:

((( katkins ))) sorry to hear ur struggling this way. Money worries are such a nuisance. Like natasha suggested can u try speaking to someone about it. Is there a CAB office near you where you could get some advise? Children can be hard work especially at the minute whilst there off on holidays. I hope ur night out goes well. Try to focus on that for now.

I can't go on feeling like this. I need someone to talk to. Does anyone know the best way of finding a private psychologist?

Here

Thank you.

Have emailed some people.

How is everyone?

Crisis team have just rung and their stunning advice this time was to avoid open water then I won't drown myself.

Oh, they are helpful eye roll. Here if you want to talk.

I'm struggling a lot today, will post later.

I'm okay, just so fed up of feeling like this. Been in bed all afternoon, just no motivation to do anything.

Not sure if this is the right place, but is there a support thread for partners of people who have depression? In brief my husband has a lifelong history of depression and I am really feeling the need for some advice and support myself at the moment. Thanks.

Hi all, long time since I was on here.

DH gone to a wedding today with DS, I couldn't go (for boring reasons cba to explain!) and I'm so bored. I'm such a boring person. I've done the washing up, tidied the laundry, taken the rubbish out, and watched endless episodes of friends. I feel like such a waste of oxygen, why would anyone want to spend time with me.
I need to sort out dinner for the next week and it's giving me anxiety, I struggle with planning meals anyway, and usually depend on DH to help me, but he won't be back till late today and I should be able to do it myself really.

So far I've got a tagine (of sorts) a soup (of sorts) and burgers as we have some that need using up. Need one more meal, and then plan in more detail.

Oh and it's my goddaughters birthday in a week, she's turning one and I haven;t got her a present yet, and no idea what to buy. Clothes?

Urgh. Sorry for just turning up and moaning.

Maggie I think there have been a few threads but it might be worthwhile starting one as it IS really hard being the partner of someone with depression. my dp has been brilliant but he struggles. It is important to take care of your own mental health as it can be badly affected.

Do feel free to post on this thread. There is at least one poster on here (wjo I haven't seen for a while. CiQ are you ok? ) whose dh has struggled with depression. The rest of us happy to support too x

Thanks LEMmingaround I'll wait till everyone's in bed and will start to put one together x

Hi Maggie and twosacrowd, nice to 'meet' you.

Natasha, I read that you are going to psychology- that's a step forwards.

I've been finding things really, really tough. Bee experiencing lots of unexplained pain and tiredness, started a thread about it general health, because I'm not sure it's 'just' depression or psychosomatic like my cpn and GP seem to think.

I was crying with it today and thinking that I just wanted to die. You wouldn't leave an animal in this sort of pain. I don't know if I can link to the thread, but it's the same username.

Katkins I've read your other thread and I think you should definitely ask your GP for some more tests or a referral. When I first got depression I had a tremor on my right side and sluggish reflexes and was referred for a CT scan and nuclear imaging. They didn't show anything but it was still investigated just as it would have been if I didn't have depression.

I'm having a cheeky vodka and diet coke. I know I shouldn't drink but I'm sick of doing all of the right things and not feeling any better, so I thought I'd try doing the wrong things.

How is everyone?

Knackered. Made more cake today, coffee and pecan with coffee buttercream. Gluten & egg free and pretty tasty

That sounds ace victrix. I'm in agony. This is the worst the pain has been in a long time,I am actually moving with pain because it's unbearable. I don't know if it's related, but j saw a photo of me last night and it showed how much weight I've put on, and suddenly I felt really low. Then all of the pain started today because I'd been out last night,and then for coffee this morning. Even the cat treading gently on my leg in bed is agony. Unbearable. I've been crying with it.

Aw Katkins that sounds horrible

Everyone likes my picture as well(friend put it on Facebook).I could barely walk earlier, am tempted to go to docs tommorow, in the out of hours service, but I don't know what they could do really.

You are in a lot of pain, Katkins so OOH doc seems a good idea. You could ring 111 and see what they suggest.

I will if it's the same tommorow. Might just be because I've done lots, I'm dreading getting dd back to school already, 40 minute walk there.

You shouldn't feel so bad just because you've done lots, though. I hope you can get to the bottom of it.
