How are you feeling today?

Thanks Zaf, didn't get much sleep last night. Really tired and touchy this morning. Have to go out tonight, can stand the thought of being all smiley and nice to people when I'm in this mood

I feel like giving up is the only option!

[Zaf]

Its really not easy Icelolly

hope no one minds me joining in this thread.

Feeling really flat today.  Went out for coffee this morning and found it a real effort to talk.  Have come home feel exhausted, really fed up but can't focus on anything. 


Hate feeling this way.

[Zaf]

Of course not buttercup, you are most welcome :)

Thats a horrid feeling, I'm sure a lot of people here can identify with it, is it possible for you to get some rest and perhaps find a tiny treat for yourself?

Thank you zaf  :)

Have managed to sneak off to have a bath while the children are occupied for a bit.  I've got 4 children so sometimes me time is at a premium   :) 

I am seeing my GP next week so am going to mention that I still feel rubbish a lot of the time.  I have been taking Fluoxetine 20 mg for 7 weeks and it has helped me to not feel as desperate as I did but still feel like my world is caving in on me and I can't get out.

Find this forum really helps me as there are other people who feel like I do. When I read it I don't feel quite so alone.  :)

It must be difficult to find time for little treats for yourself or even time to rest and relax but I am convinced both are quite important for those of us that are depressed.

It will take a little while for the full effect of the medication to take effect but its definitely worth telling your doctor how you feel as he/she might want to increase the dose but dont worry if your meds arent increased as your doc may want to give that dose a little longer to take full effect.

Its a great place and has been so helpful to me this time my depression struck in the summer, you're right that its very helpful being able to talk to people that understand how we feel and wont judge us

Nothing to do on a nighttime once again, everyone is busy (my 2 friends I see most of are female, and they've both go into relationships) 
Trying to watch TV but I can't concentrate on it.  Feels a waste going to bed so early.

Hate this

[Zaf]

Do you read or have anything you can do?

My IBS is really playing up atm so cant go to bed even if I want to as I keep rushing to the loo, I should have taken a second dose of psyllium but forgot 

[doublep]

Don't read much to be honest.. I've got no motivation to do anything.  I was working on my car today.  Might go to gym tomorrow day to pass some time.

[Zaf]

I know the feeling and the dark evenings dont help much do they?

Gym sounds a good idea, its years since I went, I really ought to try to get a bit fitter once the spring gets here

[doublep]

Dark evenings and lack of people to see drives me mad.

But I've always been a me person so I'm used to it.

I need my muscles to recover from Thursday lol might do some leg work tomorrow for an hour.

[Zaf]

I suffer from SAD so I count the days till the days get longer, I dont mind being on my own but I do talk to my animals a lot 

[Zaf]

IBS  playing up this afternoon, not sure why but its just one of things my body likes to throw into the equasion from time to time 

Dont feel sleepy but I guess I ought to at least go to bed and try to get some sleep as I'll feel really grotty tomorrow if I dont and I ought to pay a visit tomorrow on 'my' elderly couple I keep an eye on

[CharleysAngel']

And I have finally come to the conclusion that I don't fit in anywhere, I will always be pushed out. I am not good enough for anyone either
