Winter and work are what do for me and I've been struggling a bit. Fortunately today has seen some bright but cold weather coincide with a day off and after 2 tough (for me) exercise sessions I feel so much better Unfortunately it's back to work tomorrow and rain is forecast |

Well it helps/doesn't help that I can be flexible with my work hours. So don't need to rush out of bed most days. But then if I'm just laying there snoozing, then my mind will start to wallow. Maybe its difficult with AD's as I'm not sure what they are supposed to do. Sometimes I feel that perhaps I don't need them, then other times I feel I do. I have accepted that its OK to feel crap , which helps. |

I think there is more understanding around mental health issues now. I remember Stan Collymore saying he had depression a few years ago and people saying he's a prem footballer on 20/30k a week what does he have to be depressed about they clearly don't understand. Although I am pretty sure I haven't got it (I do have anxiety) it got misdiagnosed a few years back. Now I understand what is wrong I can deal with it. To answer Pinchys question defo mate

Today has been a difficult day for no real reason other than that it has been difficult. Had some tears in the car driving home but family stuff means I'm expected to put on the mask and get on with it. Tonight I just can't and being told "you blame everything on being ill" is not the most helpful thing I've heard. I know that my situation has been tough on her too but I'm doing the best I can and some days that's enough but other times it's just not going to be. You might as well be angry with the weather and expect it to change things.

And now I wish I could delete posts because that is a really unfair reflection on someon who loves me and is trying but is finding it almost as difficult as I am at times.

Hugs to you both Nellers, it's bloody hard. And not easy on those who love you. Accept it's a bad day and they happen. Give each other a hug and hope tomorrow is a better one xxxx

The problem we have is that unless someone has suffered first-hand with depression or anxiety its very difficult for them to really understand his badly it effects people As HB said I hope things improve for tomorrow |
