I've found Citalopram to really help me after 3 weeks. Give it time first (((Lili)) . By talking or typing about your feelings out in the open is actually helping me , at this very second!!!! I'm in a big deep hole, what with OH telling me to pull myself together and work saying I'm making too many mistakes!! FFS I'm ill , why can't they see it! For sure I want an out, and as so Brave Robin W did. Why?? I was asked in a preliminary consultation of why I had not followed through on my thoughts of ending my life. My lame answer was that I didn't have the bottle! I am on a long list awaiting further consultations .... will they be worth it on the grounds of my first visit? At this moment I will not connect with any so called Professionals. If I sink further then so be it. However, I still think of oneself as being the best protector .. bit of a paradox there;-) |

Dunc, perhaps you need to tell them straight "I'm ill, you're not helping by doing XYZ"? Why won't you connect with any professionals? Seems like you're cutting off your nose to spite your face there. I get what you mean about oneself being the best protector, at least I think I do, but being ill does disorder your thought processes so don't always rely on your own judgement, and listen to others even if you're sure they're wrong.xx Had a better couple of days. Pissed off with myself for not running or anything today but will do parkrun tomorrow and a ten miler on Sunday to make up for it. |

No offense , I'm thick skinned for short periods:-) I am surrounded by old thinkers though... you know the type. "Pull yourself together" "Don't be so soft" "Grow up" "Stop feeling sorry for yourself" etc etc |

That's incredibly unhelpful. There are lots of books and online stuff to help people understand depression etc, sounds like some people ought to have a read.

I'm still in bed. Just can't be bothered with anything. I don't feel awful, I feel nothing, but feeling nothing for so long feels awful. Trying to pluck up the courage to call my sister to tell her that I won't be going to her 30th birthday bash. Too many people I don't know in a very crowded pub, I know I'll hate every second of it and feel pretty selfish for not going. I'm sure she'll understand, I just think it would be nicer if I told her on the phone rather than sending her a text, but it's hard

Hugs to all. Liliaicha - it certainly is difficult to tell somebody that you won't be going somewhere you're expected but you do have to to what is best for you. I seem to be just about coping at the moment. I've got my parents visiting for a few days at the moment so that has been quite stressful. There was the issue of the garage roof which I'd told them was all fixed and fine a year ago which I finally managed to get sorted with only a week and a bit to spare and then had to sort out the soggy mess inside it so I was exhausted before the week even came round. Looking forward to breathing a huge sigh of relief on Saturday. Would be nice if I could make a Parkrun this week as I haven't even done that for a couple of months now. |
