Depression Society MKVI

I just feel so...sad..

You got another of those coming up?

Watched south park by the way, agree about the cash for gold one. Also didn't rate the last one much either.

awesome news. Well done - you ought to have a cider or 10 as reward for your achievement

I'm finding it really difficult to imagine what you look like at a normal weight. Well done on that though it's really great.

Er......yeah, there was a group this week....which I didn't go to.

Yeah it sucked, I haven't seen the newest one yet, just a clip of it, it had cats in Cats are amazing.

I hate feeling like this

Your only young a lot of people haven't had relationships by your age, and they definitely haven't had proper meaningful relationships! you can afford to waste time finding someone you want to be with for more then just you wanting to not be alone! You're a lovely lad you deserve to find the right girl!

But hopefully it'll continue lasting, you have to make the most of the good days


But yer my day has been ok, had to drive my sister round for most of the day but was good fun! Chest pains getting worse again though ... and back to uni on monday :/

If you get side effects from medication after 3 weeks of taking them, does that mean they could be starting to work? Been on citalopram since 7 March. It gives me headaches and makes me wake up loads during the night.

Me too hun, going to stay in bed all day today I think....I dont think I ever felt so depressed in my life. Hugs x

Fair enough. Its just that everywhere I go I see couples together.

Its still good, although I'm now incredibly bored, and this is when bad thoughts start returning. I also feel weird.

That sounds excellent. I dunno about the chest pains - I used to get them loads too, and these days they often happen when I have a panic attack. Are you looking forward to going back to university?

My mother apparently
I'm not surprised!
Sounds scary

Ah well hope you find something nice tomorrow.
A bit.
Going to my mum's caravan tomorrow morning til Tuesday afternoon. No internet access
On the plus side I can play with my inflatable boat.
Eurgh really need to stop being lazy but I don't know how to do that.

How's your day?

Thanks
No internet access?!
That sounds good, hope you have a great time!
Just try not to be too hard on yourself and do what tou can.

I've started to keep a mood diary but I feel as though I'm making things out to be much worse than they are.
This is what I have so far:

1 = worst ever, 10 = normal for me.

1st April
8:15 = 3. Woke up, had a bad dream during the night.
10:30 = 4. Got dressed and went to my grandads.
12:45 = 3. Got back into bed when we got home.

I don't reall y know if I'm doing it right either.


[SZE]I'm also still in bed

Yer there are couples everywhere it gets me down sometimes to and I am with someone, but it can be really difficult to see other people happy when you aren't!

Well try to ignore all the bad thoughts hun, just keep having fun there

But yer I get chest pains all the time, used to just get them when I had panic attacks but have them all the time now, gets really annoying and stops me doing loads of stuff But yes I think I am looking forward to going back to university but really stressed because I have so much work to do, and everything things more stressful at uni!

Hope you have fun for the rest of your day hun and hope you are staying positive?

I went to a hearing voices group last week and beforehand I felt a lot like you, I was absolutely terrified and had all kinds of ideas about how it was going to go wrong and everyone would be horrible, but in the end it was actually kind of cool - it went well, and actually made me feel a bit better about stuff. Sure there were weird bits (being lectured about spirits ) but overall everyone was friendly and nice and welcoming and it was pretty good. Basically, it's normal to feel afraid and have these doubts but if you think about it, the other people there probably feel just like you and so everyone is gonna want to make it as easy as possible for everyone else.

Good luck, I'm sure it will go fine and hopefully it will be of some use to you too.

Really hope it goes well for you. I'd be nervous too, but like Saber says these things can turn out much better than you expect, and it might actually be a good experience for you.

Voices are really bad this evening struggling a bit...

I've had a crap weekend with my family. My mum dragged me to my nans where my whole family were, and some of them were asking where I had been as they hadn't seen me for two years, and my mom says "she's been at university". It's like she's ashamed of me, and ashamed of admitting that I am actually ill so she's in denial instead. I am sick of pretending that I am happy to please others. I am sick of pretending I can cope. If I tell my mum that I'm struggling she tells me to stop being silly and that "there's nothing wrong with you".

I am, however, thoroughly looking forward to next week. I have a feeling it's going to be good

Thanks

I'm sure you're not, just maybe when you actually see it written down it shocks you a bit. I'm sure there's no one way to do it, sure it will be fine.
Ah we all have those days
