Didn't get to sleep until 6am this morning, woke up at 10 and went into college, fell asleep again at about 5pm and woke up at 10pm. My sleeping pattern is so ridiculous at the moment, it's really tiring me out 
On the plus side the side effects I was experiencing from the citalopram seem to have subsided, but as I'm upping to 20mg on Wednesday I assume they might come back?
Emotions don't discriminate against gender, if that's what you're asking :P

I started feeling slightly better when I went home for Easter, but now I'm back in my room on my own, everything has come back to me
Need to make an appointment to see my doctor and tell her the Amitriptyline has been useless

How many things have you tried so far? I'm on citalopram (20mg) and its not made me happier as such, but i defo don't worry about things as much, so it's helped. My dad described it as one of those "stop giving a ****" drugs xD He's been through a bunch of things himself, depression runs in the family .__.
I tend to find its the little things that can mean a lot to up your mood. That cup of tea when you wake up, that bath in the evening, talking to that guy that's always behind the till at tescos when u get your shopping. Maybe try to treat yourself to a few more of those little things

The whole macho, tough guy image that society forces on us men is bullsh1t. It's perfectly fine to cry, in fact it's healthier than holding tears back. If you don't let out your emotions out in some way it will damage you from the inside. That's why it's good to write a diary or talk to people about what you're going through.

Well glad you are all warm and dry now ... my mum decided she needed t wash all of my clothes before I got the train back to uni so had to put them on straight out of the dryer and they practically burnt me!
But nah that does suck, totally know how you feel
because I don't really have friends any more I seem to have a habit of getting overly enthusiastic whenever I manage to actually talk to new people and put waaaaay more into the friendship then they do and then get really really down when I lose them as well! Hope it wasn't too bad running into the silly person though, and hope you are feeling less down now hun!

I guess the lesson here is to not try too hard, some people just arnt worth the hassle.
Lol... Yea our dryer is like that... Although on really cold days I like to give my undies a quick run through the dryer.... Lol
Well, it's looking like a busy day ahead.... Lol... Will need caffeine at some point.
Hope you have a good day and hoping you feel better.
Still don't feel like doing anything. Don't see the point in school now.

What game are you getting?
I want to get a Wii as I have had great fun on friends and family members ones but my other half prefers his Xbox and although I like the kinect stuff, we can't jump up and down too much as we live in a first floor flat.
There are days when being an adult sucks so ****ing bad.
I am not in the condition for work, so I live off state support. I have been waitig for the decision to that money since february, and now I finally got it: No money until the end of may because I did not earn enough last year (when I was hospitalized most of the year...) and out of the 900 I was supposed to get they snipped 690 for some reasons...Thank you world.
I was exited & finally relaxed since I was supposed to get some kind of steady support until August, but no then... thank you much world.
I really feel like crying right now.

Yeah its been affecting me since I started sixth form (I'm in Yr13 atm)
I'm on bad terms with my parents and just everyone in general.
I have exams coming up and so I was wondering whether or not it would be a better idea to see a gp after I've finished them?
Also, have there been any cases where depression has just disappeared on its own or is it very rare?

I would probably go as soon as possible and see what they say, then you migh decide to wait til after them to start treatment.
I think it's very rare, I was hoping for that for quite a while because I was scared of going to the gp.

Just generally being himself. He's gone out now though and my mum seems so much happier . I don't want to write anything about him in my diary in case it gets back to my mum and she'll be convinced he's doing something to me. She asked me once if he was hurting me in anyway and I denied everything but that makes me think that she can't exactly trust him either.
Eeek! Mentors are certainly good at chasing things up

That sounds super awesome.Wii is awesome, spent most of last summer playing the Godfather game on it. Kill all the pedestrians!
(I had a little spell where I didn't know what I was doing and so just kept throwing Molotov cocktails at people)

The PS2 we had broke a while ago although I never really used it so I don't miss it and have never even had a go on a PS3. The only console I miss is my N64 (old I know but I still love it) which is in the loft. I'm not a great games player but I do enjoy having a go on guitar hero/rock band. Have tried Halo (I think - it could have been something else!) but was awful at it, but I try not to go near the xbox too much - I have been told by a friend that breaking a BF's xbox is one of the worst sins a girlfriend can commit!

it is
very geeky!is good, tbh I really just use it for multiplayer atm though, use my other consoles much more cause have lot's of SP games or just online ones, if I get stuff like that for my Wii would be better so it actually is used more.
that sounds random
I normally end up doing that on GTA tbh!Original post by SciFiBoy

my PS2 I've had since 2002! thing always works lol, it's been dropped down stairs and all sorts, one of the big original ones too. PS3 is amazing, plus it plays blu-rays
never had an N64, played at a friends once though and was cool (goldeneye ) im awful at music games tbh, can't figure them out at all! normally I stick to sports or shooters occasionally play like an RPG or something as well lol, only had one gf so never been an issue though my ex had an xbox of her own so probs wouldn't have broken mine even if she had the chance to!Original post by Alofleicester

Not originally, but then they crashed into mobsters, killed the mobsters and got killed as well - so I then just go in and take over and started doing it over and over. I think my rap sheet on the game read about 5000 kills (innocents) by the time I completed the game.
