Thanks to ToccataAndFudge for the name

Right, so this is where those of us with depression can write our lists of daily achievements!

...hopefully tomorrow's list will be better than today's...

oh crumbs. over 3,000 people!!!

any chance of, say, first few letters of name so I can search to narrow it down?

or, my name is danielle, (surname starts with B) my pic is me, DH, DD and baby DS, if you want...

this would be an appropriate place for one of those white bunnies to appear on my post!

ToccataAndFudge · 01/04/2010 11:25

allegrageller · 01/04/2010 11:25

weegiemum · 01/04/2010 11:25

Initials S T.

First 3 letters of surname are a word for a boob, beginning with t (not hard to come up with -- crap when you are a Geog teacher! - or any kind of teacher actually!)

allegrageller · 01/04/2010 11:25

we should create an FB Depressed Bints Fight Back Group

weegiemum · 01/04/2010 11:26

Make the group - I'll join!

LittleMarshmallow · 01/04/2010 11:26

allegrageller · 01/04/2010 11:26

ooh blimey I am going to have to write down all this information....

MathsMadMummy · 01/04/2010 11:29

ohhh lol not sure if I would join a FB group with that title. can we just call it fighting our way back up, or keep calm and carry on or something else non-obvious.

would be mortified to admit how I feel to RL friends

allegrageller · 01/04/2010 11:30

oh ffs the fanpage doesn't even list alphabetically!!!

allegrageller · 01/04/2010 11:31

yeah MMM I wasn't actually going to call it that , wouldn't necessarily want other FB friends such as work contacts to know either (though all the ones worth their salt do of course)
Keep Calm and Carry On not a bad one

Hi ladies,
I was doing so well, after a late get up I managed to take DS2 to playgroup on time

since then have eaten biscuits walked to pick DS2 from playgroup and am now wasting time on here whilst eating more biscuits.

HAVE to do something in the house as it is a true shit heap today.

Toccata - go and do something!!!

ellenjames · 01/04/2010 13:49

I am joining! Havwing a shit week tried going cold turkey off my pills and crashed and burned! I suffer from pnd and health anxiety regarding my dcs and sickness bugs. I am not scared of vomit just my kids being ill in that way! So, anyway, a awful bug is going round the school so mine havent been at school past 2 days as they are n ot too chipper and dont want them getting it for hols!
I have tidied abit and made meals today and thats about it! I am emma surname is c and pic is of my dc3, alexander

BeckyBendyLegs · 01/04/2010 13:50

I've done a lot today (too much perhaps) had coffee with friends, now off to school to help out at the April Fools disco. Busy, busy, busy.

I find I either go bonkers and do too much and am full of energy or I'm all flat and can't be bothered. I can't seem to find a medium. Is that normal for someone with PND? I also have this anxious feeling all the time in my stomach and I don't even know what I am anxious about.

ellenjames · 01/04/2010 13:52

bblegs i am the same either hyper or cant be arsed!
