Thanks Karen, But I've truly had it. This feeling is getting worse and worse and I feel like screaming. I've tried helping others here but the reality of that is barely any of them even bother to...
Dunno if I can do this much longer. It's so lonely and pointless. Stopped going to work, just don't care and couldn't do anything there anyway. I just think about her. She's not coming back, I know....
Jamiee, Don't know your background of course but I won't read back. Just go from here. My first question is have you got no drugs to prevent mania at all? I guess you've tried them all by now. I know...
Mercedes, Advice? Certainly. Firstly this is a question for the oerson who prescribed these drugs for you. Once we are under prescription if we do change the treatment without advising the doctor...
Living, As a male I would suggest, regardless of his mental state, that your boyfriend accept the responsibility of organising transport for you. The last thing you need is the pressure of not seeing...
Hello and welcome to you, the thing that jumped out at me was you saying two things. One was you have been threatened with being forced into a mental institution. Who threatened you, and how? People...
Dumble, So sorry about that nasty relationship and the abuse you suffered. If only they knew what it actually did to you. Obviously there was no care at all and you are left to pick up the pieces of...
Almost, I too am thrilled it's good news and nothing like your could imagine. Much as we try not to worry, we always do and create the worst results. Could I suggest you record your experience with...
Judy, That's good. Depression is certainly something none of us know about till we get it. I learnt so much from my wife who had it forever. But I still didn't really understand at all. What she...
Judy, You went to that page I gather, the manufacturer's site. What probably causes people to say it is an anti depressant is stated at the top of that page. It uses the same process as an anti...
Judy, Your first post said you were taking Savella for depression and Fibro. Please read up on this drug n this page http://www.savella.com/ . It specifically says it is NOT for depression, just...
Hi, Saw a doctor today and he thought I was suffering mainly severe grief but shock is in there too. My world just disintegrated from when she disappeared, and worse when she was found, gone. They...
Jade, Wow. That's truly scary and it's interesting the Police want to pursue that. I know where I live, in real life they will generally just ignore complaints unless someone is being threatened by a...
LivingWell, Good. Let's hope they pin the person down on something, maybe a collective harassment or whatever. There are too many laws for me to know what's possible. Glad to hear you are able to...
Lola, I'm new to depression in myself but have been with my wife who had it for many years until she recently passed on. She often said she was able to deal with her illness through getting to know...
LivingWell, Glad you got a laugh, it's important to do so anytime we can or should. Life isn't as serious as we feel it is I know but sometimes it does just dominate our other emotions. I too do try...
Living Well, Sadly people are just plain nasty and will do anything at times. I tried chat years ago and quickly concluded it was the best way to start a fight, get upset or worse. I only use email...
Sydneyrose, what help have you sought? Don't know where you live but anyone can get an appointment with a general doctor. At most a few days is all you'd need to wait. You have to see that doctor...
Wistful, Jim's got it right. Focus on what you can do, not what you can't. Take pride in any successes and confidence will start to grow and spread to other areas of your life. I must say that your...
Sara, Thank you. Just trying to give Almost some things to think about really. Am I a writer? Well, yes. In my own lunchtime that is. But I have done a lot of thinking over the years due to my wife's...
Kiisha, Can I say that being a Mum is the hardest job in the world and is so highly valued by society but they don't show it. Society focuses on the failures, the trouble makers but if you can have a...
Almost, Sorry you seem to have done exactly what I asked you not to do. Take my words personally. Yes your disease, illness is highly personal and critical and huge in your thoughts but it is still...
Thanks, feel so alone you know. After having her here I just assumed she would always be and now she isn't. Have read a few other posts and I sure ain't the Lone Ranger am I? Why is there so much...
Almost, Do you actually have depression? I didn't but it dropped on me like a stone not long ago yet. I know what a shock it can be when we realise we are actually human and will die, all of us,...
Gettingby, I'm not hiding anything, it's out on the floor and I stare at it all the time. I dunno what grief counselling is but I don't really want to be in a group hearing other people's miseries...
Thanks for your thoughts. I'm gonna have to see the local doctor as I have to get some sleep. Don't know what sort of drugs there are, can anyone suggest something before I see him? I just lie there,...
Sorry to bring it up Nokia. You know I've been thinking that no doctor or drug or counselling is gonna help at all. I just gotta get used to it and live with it. Time is the answer. Just get through...
Sorry. Forgot to ask about grief counselling. What is it and who does it? How does it help? Is it reliable and is it quick? I wouldn't know where to look, just so confused and can't think proper...
Thanks for answering. Makes me feel like someone cares a bit. It's so lonely. No, family is in another country and have phoned them a few times but they can't come and be with me or anything. Have...
Can any of you please help? I just lost my wife and have suddenly become more depressed than I could ever think of. I've seen a doctor and I have got an appointment for a psychiatrist, but not for...
