hey we are here for you... and you aren't annoying anyone. We are all the same here. :)

what the captain said :)

what's up?? talk to us....you are not alone

just feeling so low and wishing there was more help out there than there actually is...seem to be fighting the system and losing...

There is no annoying hun. And I totally understand trying to put everything into once a week - mine is once a month!!! Is there anything in particular you want to talk about??

the system sometimes takes awhile to get involved in... how long hae you had a Therapist?

had a therapist about a month, also have a CPN who i see whenever i can get hold of her! i just feel the need to talk to people who understand about how horrendous living with depression can be. thanks so much for all your support x

it takes a little bit to get worked into a schedule with therapist... do you take meds?and keep coming here... there is a world full of us here.

yeh im on zyprexa and tegretol and waiting to go on a new antidepressant as cipralex did nothing. am in the middle of an argument with my mum at the moment which is stressing me stupid, she just doesnt get that going on at me doesnt make the depression vanish, it just makes me feel a whole lot worse. and i dont have anyone to ring to talk to, i am all alone. i wish there was a way through this.

we are here, keep talking! family, the people who love us the most....wow, they can really hurt us the worst...

coming here and sharing with us and getting our point of view helps a LOT...

you are totally right about family. im just so desperate. they try and care but they dont ever say anything right. my mum just seems to argue. it makes me so upset x

so sorry you are feeling so bad right now. I know from personal experience how alone that can make you feel. Family members often don't understand depression, unless they have gone through it too. You have a lot of friends here who care about you. Keep reaching out, we're all here for you.

She might be frustrated hun because she doesn't really know how to help you even though she's trying really hard.
As a mother myself, I know I get really frustrated when my girl is sick or down and things don't work when I try to help, from a mother's perspective we're supposed to look after our child no matter what and mom's are supposed to know everything (an age old society thing).

Can you talk to your mom and tell her that what she is doing is actually making you feel worse? If her giving you a hug makes you feel better then ask her to do that. The more the 2 of you can communicate the better the understanding might be between you.

And in here at DS....you're never alone xxx
