Hi,
Ive suffered with depression for nearly 2 years and have slowly been getting better (doesnt seem it, but looking back ive come a million miles). The last few days though ive been spiralling downwards fast. Ive just been sat in tears for no apparent reason, and shaking. I cant function properly anymore, and have lost all enthusiasm. Sounds silly, but I was on the FLYlady thread and building back up my motorvation for doing things etc., but its all just gone. I really dont want to go back to where I was... but I really really cant "pick myself up"...

URGHHH stairgates ..you end up just climbing over them as they are such a pain to undo!! wd though ..can you pop out at all and buy yourself a couple of stems of flowers? I dont know why but seeing a clear table and a couple of my fave Starhgazer lillies in a vase gives me little lift.

this ones a kitchen archway gate - and its being a pain DH never leaves money so cant go to shops (he would if I wanted)... just having a cry earlier and getting even just one tiny thing done is making me feel abit better

Sometime its nice to cry in peace and get it out of your system..I just hate the big red shiny nose I get..what wiil you do this evening?? have you got anything to look forward to?? a nice dinner , a small glass of wine?

I see you on lots of thread so feel like i know you a bit even though I don't really. and I don't want to think you are sitting there suffering thinking that no one cares, I know what depression can be like and I hope you feel a bit better

QuootieSpookypie · 21/10/2006 15:58

DarkAlleyBongo · 21/10/2006 16:21

well, you know that can all wait. you are the important thing in your home, not the amount of junk in your cupboards, or dust on the windowsills.
