Depression Understood Forums

On the contrary, Piule! I love my whole job. It's what I've wished since a child, spent 4 yrs @ Uni to qualify for & have worked hard to get where I am now.
But there particular cases which can get to me.

For me, Monday heralds that "Poets Day" is a mere 5 days away!

Morning Pilile; So much of what Fame & ypurself
resonates with me.
Whilst I am fortunate to enjoy much of my work, there are parts of it
which can be quite unpleasant & which also depress me often.

Hi Anon4823. "We" were never on Prozac" (Would have declined it if it were offered). Just armed ourselves with Folic Acid & a thermometer ! Despite our experiences we still consider ourselves extremely fortunate to have a son for whom we will always be around & daughter of who...

Hi Jane123. After my brain injury I take so many pills, each day, I rattle! But my Consultant is always nagging me to take my vitamins on top of my regular Neuro meds.
I'm due to see her for my 1/4-ly brain scan next week. I'll ask her about what you say & get back to you!

Hi LadySith; I agree with everyone when they say that it is amazing how strong we become when the #### hits the fan. I feel everyone can tell you of how they have gotten through the tunnel when it seemed so dark & I hope I can be one of them. You are not worthless. You have friends & we are ...

Hi Alaska 1958 & thanks for your concern. I'm sure this is a rough patch but I worry about the state of things when our son is forced to return & the effect this will have on his Mum. In May our son couldn't construct a meaningful CV. Now, after I got him a job to fill in time before Uni, he...

Hi Frame & thank you for your helpful, sensible words. And I do mean that. It always seems to make sense when viewed through other' eyes. This woman is known to Social Services & Police as having "used" men since she was 14. In that respect our son is the victim. But he has been so...

Dear Alaska 1958; Thank you so much for your understanding. I don't feel so much anger towards him as frustration at what he has done to everyone who has done so much for him. I suppose I'll always love him but that doesn't mean I have to like him. Some of what he has done to his Mum really is benea...

Feeling very down & abandoned. Our 17 yr old son has dropped out of everything to take up with a 24 yr old single mother. Dropped out of high school & exams that would have taken him to Uni & a promising career. He's destroyed my family, his sister & his mum. This woman is on a socia...

Sorry you seem to be having such a rough trot lately, Frame. There's not much I can say @ the moment except assure you you're not alone.

Your post makes perfect sense to me, SilentWaters.
We have caller ID on all 'phones & if I don't recognise the caller I refuse to answer - That's what voicemails are for?!

Dear scrabble; Thank you for your welcome. I look forward to "speaking" with you again. I agree wholly with what you say although my present state of mind is a symptom of my TBI, unlike other folk,who's company I am enjoying, & who appear, to me, victims of more complicated scenarios. ...

SilentWaters, for your kind words- I'll be in touch again as soon as I can.

Hello from another insomniac. My sleep problems don't just stem from my depression. My brain injury left me with no regular sleep pattern. After a seizure I have to sleep through the aftermath. This can see me flat out @ 6 pm which means I'm awake @ 2pm but means I'm asleep @ 10 pm & so I'm wide...
