I kind of feel the same way Atalanta, post relationship break up. Something inside me wants to have just time to myself, without the stress of work and relationships. Hugs anyway ((Atalanta)) |

Sorry pressed submit too early!! Currently taking venlafaxine which is causing horrid weight gain at a time when I'm also recovering from spinal surgery. I've not run since last summer bar two 1 min jugs the other day just to test the water! |

I know 'jugs' is a typo mister f, but the juxtaposition with testing the water made me smile. I am struggling at the moment after 2 bereavements. Rather surprised at how I am feeling in the wake of the second one but wonder whether that is because of the first one (if you see what I mean). I am ok with day to day stuff but struggle to stay calm when things go slightly awry. A feeling of a big buckets of tears inside waiting to come out in a big howl. |

Morning all... Not sure if anyone's read work by Dr Tim Cantopher, but his extract, from one of his books is fantastic. And a very interesting read for anyone suffering with depression and ideal for family and friends to look at too.... Gives a fantastic insight to the physical illness that is depression. Hope it works! alisonwagner.co.uk |

Welcome Mr F. I also smiled at your 'two jugs'! Hope you find this thread useful - it's fab I think. Sorry to hear of your loss USB. It does make sense what you say, not sure the emotions can be split into the two bereavements. Hope things settle for you soon. ((())) ((())) for all who need them. |

I've been going to weekly psychoanalytical psychotherapy appointments for two years now. In fact, for the last nine months it's been twice a week, on consecutive days - so that, in her words, I didn't have the time to put the defences back up. My therapist, who is simply outstanding, has always managed my expectations. A few weeks ago we started talking about going back to once a week. This is a good sign. Making progress, clearly. The last session before we do this - she presses my buttons. I disintegrate. The power of the emotions that overtake me are difficult to describe. The hate, the anger, the ................ I've still got a long way to go. But I'm going to beat this, I will not let it get me. |
