Hi everyone,
I feel like a loser asking for help especially as i have already done so once today but i am really low and alone and could do with talking to someone. i miss my counsellor who's on holiday and am struggling to contain all my feelings into one hour a week session. i dont think thats enough right now and i wish there was someplace i could go to recover for a while but there isnt anywhere. sorry if im annoying people or whatever i just feel so alone. freedom x

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.

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

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
