Depression Understood Forums

Yeah I've allready got a caseworker and medication. I guess I should probably be telling them how shit things are but I just don't feel like it, I guess because If they knew where I was at they might act to take away my "options" and I'm rather content to leave those open and see what happ...

I felt so tired at work today, and I have another two days to go yay. I must admit I had planned on hanging myself when I got home from work today as I knew there'd be no one around. When I got home I was so tired that as soon as I sat down I nodded off and when I woke up I was too tired to be bothe...

Monday and tuesday sucked big time, didn't do alot just the bare minimum to get by. Had work today almost didn't go and while I was there all I could think about was how pointless it all was and contemplated when it'd all end. I guess the worst thing is I never feel anything except sadness anymore d...

I started back at work this last week. I've managed to do it and this week was a surprisingly good one compared to some others feel pretty fatigued at work and once I get home and stop doing stuff I bomb out and can't do alot but have been playing some games and practicing on my guitar. I went to a ...

Well bad news I'm crashing again, the guy at the drop in centre wasn't there for the lessons on the thursday and near the end of the week I just felt so exhausted I went back to doing the bare minimum and sitting in my chair all day. I figured I'd ring up another guitar tutor and see about jacking u...

Well I went and had the guitar lesson wasn't thrilled about the whole day but got my guitar ou that night and practiced and next day I was much better. I think my antidepressants are starting to have more of an effect as I don't feel like crying all the time anymore and not quite as tired, Also I th...

I've been getting worse lately I hardly do anything now, I just sit in my chair and do hardly anything all day unless I really have to. The antidepressants I'm on are going ok I don't feel like I want to cry all the time anymore(although I can't actually physically cry for some odd reason)and the pa...

Don't really feel anything positive, don't feel thirsty or hungry just a gentle kind of permanent sadness. Didn't do much today some forum browsing, a little writing, watched some tv, went for a walk rest of the day will liable be as dull. Thought alot today about how my life would have been going a...

It all just seems so pointless now I don't think I can ever be happy again. I know it may take time and its been explained to me that theres a grieving process to go through And that once the pills I'm taking kick in things may seem a little better. I'm really trying to hang in but my poor health an...

Thats quite inspiring, I guess I'm at the start of my battle.
I still think about finishing it alot still though, I'm getting help but I don't really want it.
I'm completely lost for what to say at the moment.

Ok so my life has changed dramatically I'm on a limited amount bland diet, I have to take pills all day so I can eat I'm constantly in pain all the time. I can never do all the physical things I used to love like running weights and martial arts, I may lose my job because its also very physical. I a...

Well I went in today and talked to two female staff at the mental health unit. Talking about it honestly and frankly made me feel a little better, they were so concerned they rang the psychiatrist to ask him what should be done and he came right in to see me. He talked with me a little, I didnt real...

I'm not sure its going to matter. I don't really want to fight it anymore, at the moment I'm using my last tiny reserves to hang in for other peoples sake.

I'm seeing someone tomorrow and after that they'll set up an appointment to see a psychiatrist for next week.

I called the mental health team in my town and talked with a member of staff about what happened, I actually laughed when I was describing how I'd failed to set things up twice. They've dealt with me before once for suicide attempts when I was younger and more recently this year when I was going dow...
