Depression Understood Forums

I wrote this when I first joined and never came back to it, Thank you for the replies :) much appreciated Things have all gone downhill since writing the first post, my hubby had his op for the tumour and was called back for a second, but only to be called back again to be opened up further and more...

Thank you for being so understanding My little ones are 5, 9 and 12 and I love them so so much, but I feel like I fail them so much by not getting them out and about to places and seeing the world around them. No one in my family know anything about any of this, not even my hubby, I fall apart when ...

Has anyone tried any alternative therapies etc? What have you tried and how did it help? I use a lot of aromatherapy and go through a lot of oils and incense sticks etc. They help with relaxation I have tried St Johns Wort and that helped a bit when things weren't so deeply rooted. I use breathing t...

I love Magic FM
I think it covers the North West and North East

I enjoy a range of music from pop to classical

I do love 80's pop though

I think one of my favourites is REM Everybody Hurts

I knew it was too much to go face to face the first time as I didn'...

desperate at the moment, and very alone. Extremely tired and irritable

When I was on those meds I was constantly tired for a good 3/4 months, and I often had trembles in my hands and legs, they all seem to disappear after 3/4 months.

Thank you very much for your kind words, I really am struggling so much, I find it hard to speak to/be near other people. I think that the therapy fails because I cannot be near the therapists. I cannot trust them, I cant open up to them. I saw 1 for nearly 2 years and said very little no matter how...

I feel a total failure, not sure if there is anymore I can do. I only trusted 1 person and that person has left now, I have tried no matter what others think, I have tried all types of therapy and meds but nothing worked. The crisis team told me I dont want to get better. How dare they, getting bett...
