hi yah from UK

Postby sea_breeze » Fri Aug 17, 2012 9:42 am

first time here, relocated to Uk from Canada as got married. my parents n siblings were born over here, so there are some roots that way. i struggle with deep depression.n anxiety, my husband n i live with his mum n dad due to health issues. he works full time, i stay to help out with them.

i feel so desparate n miserable, n the circumstances here arent good, as neither of us get a break from helping them, n it not possible to have our own place, n i have no friends here at all n feel very alone alot. im 51 have struggled with depression for years, on meds, but they mostly stave of severe panic. i go thru terrible panic dreams, which makes me feel like ive run a marathon when i wake up.

i do so hope to get to know other on here, n maybe i can even help out to. i do listen very well.

Hi Sea Breeze,

Im from UK too. My problems seem to overwhelm me, so dont know where to begin. And I cant take any important decisions either. But I only have myself to look after and so only myself to blame! Take care and chat soon.

Hi. What a hard move that must have been for you! I'be always lived in the same metroplex so I can only empathize. However I moved back into my parents house at 38 to take care of my sick father who passed away a year ago. It is very hard taking care of someone. Probably even more so with your in laws. Please try to remember that what you are doing is worthwhile And find even small amounts of time to take breaks and do what you enjoy. I am here to talk if you would like.

Hey sea_breeze, moving city is hard enough, moving country must have been a real culture shock, and helping others whilst trying to cope yourself is never easy is it? Depression affects every part of your life, that's what i really hate about it myself, and is hard enough to keep a relationship going never mind looking after the in-laws too.
I hope joining here has helped a little, i'm on here and another board and hope the support will help me a bit. See ya around, and enjoy our lovely British weather :)

Hi Sea_breeze and welcome to the forum. Congratulations, Sea_breeze on your marriage. You are dealing with some major changes...a marriage, a country re-location, and taking care of aging parents. I admire your courage and strength. All 3 are very hard for most people. If you have not done so, I invite you to check out our chat room as well. Chat is another resource to share your feelings and exchange information. I look forward to hearing more from you, sending a strong hug.
