    • Close Bereavement
      Type: Loss of a Friend

      My father died suddenly 19 years ago and memories of that event were put to the back of my mind. Recently I lost a dear friend and work colleauge very suddenly and although I have tried to hide how it has affected me it has brought back alot of past memories for me that I never dealt with thus having me finally diagnosed with depression.

      Treatments

      Crying Not Working
      Just leaves me feeling drained.
      Getting Angry Not Working
      Just causes an unhappy environment for my family.
      Grief Counseling Working / Worked
      This has been fantastic, highly recommended for anyone who needs help.
      Keeping Busy Not Working
      just allowed me to keep feelings hidden, until now.
      Pets Working / Worked
      My dogs are just the best, they will make me smile when I am feeling a bit low.
      Reading Working / Worked
      Have been doing alot of cross words, this takes my mind off everything completely.
      Remembering Not Working
      This upsets me and is something I have to overcome.
      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      my family & friends are very supportive, they just didn't realise how bad I was.
      Talking Working / Worked
      Fianlly admitting I am not coping has been a big relief for me.
    • Close Hysterectomy

      I had a total abdominal hysterectomy on the 6/6/2006 after years of pain and anaemia. I am on no medication as my ovaries were not removed. This operation was the best desicion of my life, I have been pain free and no longer anaemic.

    • Open Depression

      Diagnosed with depression in March 08 after losing a dear friend to cancer, this also brought back supressed memories of my fathers death which I have never dealt with.

      Treatments

      Nausea was the only side effect
