For our lovely essbee to post whenever she feels down and wants to chat, and for anyone else who wants to be here for her....

I often feel abit out of my depth trying to give advice on threads like your original one Essbee, so I'm ashamed to say I tend to leave to everyone else, they say it so much better than I could.

I truly wish I had something helpful to say for you but hopefully just knowing that we're all here, at the other end of the keyboard, 'listening' to you when ever you need us will be a good for you.

Chin up mate, our cyber ears are here to bend.

Don't know what I can add apart from to say that I'm so sorry you feel this bad, you don't deserve it, and really hope you find a way to feel more positive soon. Thinking of you.

Thinking of you Essbee. Have a lovely week end.

Hi essbee.

I have not posted on this tread before as I do not think that I could offer you any help.

I just wanted to say that although I will be offline for a while I will call you when I get a chance after the move and will text you When I find my mobile phone.

Take care of your self and have fun with Fairyfly this weekend.

Lots of love and Hugs

Hi Essbee, Hope you are having a better weekend. Have been thinking about you lots. When I was first prescribed ADs for my PND, they improved the depression up to a certain point then it seemed to plateau out. It was only when I was hit with the first seriously stressful situation since my diagnosis that I realised I needed to tweak the medication a bit. Mine was increased and after a couple of weeks I could see another big improvement in my coping skills. Hang on in there until the new dosage takes effect. Once you have the depression being managed effectively, you will be able to look at the other problems in your life and start seeing ways to deal with them. That's the horrible thing about depression, it makes you feel completely unable to deal with life and to make decisions. Things WILL get better. It may take a while but you will get there. Keep talking to us. We are all here for you whenever you need us.

Hi essbee

wanted to send you a quote cos by reaching out here on MN reveals your inner light

People are like stained-glass windows.
They sparkle and shine when the sun is out,
but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed
only if there is a light from within.
Elizabeth Kübler-Ross

I also wanted to share the good quote with all the beautiful people who have come and shared their personal experiences. I myself have been set upon by darkness. I am the kind of person who is sensitive and feels alot of life so sometimes I feel down and suffer. But I know that I am like that so I learn as I go and try and find little ways to make life more rosy. It is so often the little things that make all the difference.

Just got email from essbee, she says she is not posting because she is still worried about having upset someone yesterday.

I'm trying to urge her to come back on...

Oh no thats awful.

Oh please come back essbee

JuniperDewdrop · 11/09/2004 17:46

yes please come back hun xx

wobblyknicks · 11/09/2004 18:09

Have chatted to essbee on msn and she's really not sure about coming back on atm because she feels so bad about having offended anyone. She never meant to and she's one of the sweetest people on here so there's no way she meant to cause any upset.

Sorry if this is being too blunt but she's got more to worry about atm than someone getting offended just because she had so many wellwishers to reply to and too much to think about to reply individually to every single one. I'm sure all of use that have been on here for any length of time have forgotten to reply to a post that touched us at one time or another but its not meant to offend, its just normal.

Hope you'll all join me in saying she hasn't done anything wrong and should get back NOW!!

MummyToSteven · 11/09/2004 18:10

agree 100% with wk

WideWebWitch · 11/09/2004 18:11

Asbolutely wobblyknicks, I totally agree. Essbee, you haven't offended anyone, COME BACK, please.

tammybear · 11/09/2004 18:13

agree with everyone else, come back essbee!! you really cheered me up when i was really down a couple of months ago, and i really wish i could help you like you helped me. sending you lots of hugs!!

nutcracker · 11/09/2004 18:15

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE COME BACK ESSBEE

I totally agree with you WK, and I really hope essbee comes back on MN isn't the same without her.

bran · 11/09/2004 18:20

Please come back essbee, I'm sure no-one has been offended. Also it's more worrying when someone stops posting completely because I don't know how you are, I don't think you should be all alone at the moment and there are so many mumsnetters who can give you such good advice. Lots of hugs.

Papillon · 11/09/2004 18:27

Essbee you originally posted on the other thread because you wanted to talk and get support. I am sure that has not changed. Nobody should expect you to moderate and oversee your own thread and well this one was started by anorak so thats her responsiblity now

moomina · 11/09/2004 18:41

Please come back, essbee. You haven't offended anyone. These are your threads, for you, so without you we're all twittering away to ourselves!
