hi, just been speaking to her on the phone and the short answer is, no she's not okay. I'm worried about her, is there anyone who lives nearby who can maybe go over tomorrow? Her hubbys just come home now i think. She sounds very, very down.

gothicmama · 08/03/2005 17:57

If she would like i can go over 2morrow afternoon

nutcracker · 08/03/2005 18:08

Thank goodness someone has spoken to her at least.

I cannot go tommorow as need dp to have day off and he can't without notice.

Have mobile number now so will text.

nutcracker · 08/03/2005 18:09

Oh bloody hell i can't text can I. Will ring them or use dp's moby.

Tinker · 08/03/2005 18:10

You can text a landline as well btw.

nutcracker · 08/03/2005 18:22

The number i have isn't working, keeps saying there is an error.

Will try again in a bit.

cat82 · 08/03/2005 18:24

I've mailed you again!
Sorry, probably my fault

nutcracker · 08/03/2005 18:29

Got it, thanks

pixiefish · 08/03/2005 18:30

Let us know how she is if you find out

gothicmama · 08/03/2005 18:35

T 's mobile is off - will keep trying think MTS is going over tomorrow

desperatehousewife · 08/03/2005 18:36

where does she live near?

jampots · 08/03/2005 18:36

Her names not online on MSN

mummytosteven · 08/03/2005 18:37

will do my best to get over there but obviously do want to get her permission first - think cat82 is talking to her about it tonight, i've tried texting her. think some of the comments on the other thread are less than helpful.

I'm going to bath my dd now, but yeah i'm calling later tonight. I think nutcracker is also trying to call. I'll keep you posted MTS.

Nutty

Sometimes if the phone is off the hook it comes up with an error message.

purpleturtle · 08/03/2005 18:53

Hi Titania - said I'd come back to see how you were doing, so here I am. I gather you're not going great. We're all thinking of you, and as you can tell, lots of people are trying to think of ways we can really help you. Hang in there.

Riebee · 08/03/2005 19:07

Titania I have read the other threads but have not posted until now. Just want you to know that there are so many people who know and understand how you are feeling. It is so hard to believe when you are at rock bottom that things can ever get better but they can and they will.
It sounds like there are lots of people around you that really care for you. Try to remember that every one who has posted on hear is wishing you the very best right now.

Blu · 08/03/2005 19:11

yes, Titania, we really do care, and we're here - but that's why the advice from Cod to self-refer to the Community Mental Health Team is so important. We can care over Mn but we can't actually give you the real help you need so that you don't have to keep feeling like this. Please let someone with real expertise help you, too.

purpleturtle · 08/03/2005 19:18

I don't get to keep up to speed with everything on here - I assumed that you were already working with your GP on this. Now some of these posts give the idea that you're trying to go it alone a bit. Don't do that. If you deliberately isolate yourself, it's going to be darned hard to lose the feelings of isolation brought to you by depression. RL problems require RL help, so please try and get some more.

mummytosteven · 08/03/2005 19:20

purpleturtle - T has seen GP, been prescribed ADs and a limited no. of counselling sessions, but it doesn't seem to be doing the trick - hence many of us feel that more specialised help is needed

purpleturtle · 08/03/2005 19:28

Sorry - I did think things were under control, and then made incorrect deductions from what I read here today.

Titania - ignore me when I'm not helpful. I won't be offended.

cat82 · 08/03/2005 19:46

I have called her MTS, but no reply so far. I'm going to keep trying though and she has strict insturctions to call me later anyway so i know she's okay.
I very, very much hope she'll agree to you going to where she is, i think it would help her. I would love to go myself but it just isn't feasable.
I speak to her most days on msn and we also talk on the phone, but i wish i could be there in person.
I'll let you know if i manage to get through

xx

mummytosteven · 08/03/2005 20:53

thanks for letting me know, cat. have you managed to touch base with her yet. i've tried her mobile again, and texted her, but obviously she may have just switched it off.

OP posts:
cat82 · 08/03/2005 21:05

I tried to call literaly just now, but no, it just went answer phone. I've already left 1 message tonight....i'll try once or twice more before i go to bed.
I really am worried about her.
