am lurking as not really sure what else to say really, more than i have said already, as i beleive you can get better, and you will, and the determination you show in getting help from your crappy GP is a testament to that, so just going to lurk supportively !

losty · 26/04/2007 20:34

hi pc

thanks for saying hi the othjer morning tooo - how you todya?

losty · 26/04/2007 20:35

the thing is lulu a lot of the time atm I dont want to get better, that is too hard a road to take, I just want it all to be over so I dont have to keep fighting

michaelad · 26/04/2007 20:35

Anyway, lets get it out in the open.. I have been depressed with suicidal undercurrents for as long as I can remember. And have been battling with weight issues since my teens (binging etc.)

Oh I love playing dodge the flame with candles, Very tranquil............calm

So losty did you have sunshine at yours today or rain? we had a lovely sunny day, would have loved to have gone out jogging but have to stick to the tredmill now due to the dd's do too many miles the poor little mites will have wind burn otherwise

pinkchampagne · 26/04/2007 20:36

I'm just kind of lurking & saying "Hi" too, lulu!

I am fine thanks girls. Hope you are both ok, and I am very jealous of your youthful age, Hills!

michaelad · 26/04/2007 20:38

Know what you mean, Losty...you just get so tired of it.. only thing that keeps me going are my dh (my true soulmate) and the kids. And there is my biggest paranoia..I don't want them to suffer just because I can't cope!

Saying hello to mamama too, then I shall be off!

Hillls · 26/04/2007 20:40

Yes michaelad I do 20 miles a day!

lulumama · 26/04/2007 20:41

i have been there.....but the thought of DS not having me there, or having a new mummy, was more awful to contemplate

lulumama · 26/04/2007 20:41

hey mamama!

what time is it in the US of A???

michaelad · 26/04/2007 20:42

God!! HOW?? Do you take the los?
I'd take off my hat if there wasn't a compulsive motive behind it, iykwim.

Hillls · 26/04/2007 20:43

I'm still fighting not to stay there, I'm trying to unconvince myself that I'm doing more harm to my dd's by being here and letting them see me distroy myself other than stopping it now and saving them the pain later on.

Its a horrible place to be in, I self harm alot.

michaelad · 26/04/2007 20:44

Exactly Lulu..but on the other hand I have also had moments in the past where I thought that everybody is just better off without me. My dh is an ace coper, he just gets on with things..and I felt (feel) like the ball and chain round their ankles.
