Just checking in.

How's has everybody been? 

Have you had a good day/bad day?

Here if anybody wants a chat or wants to run something past me. I'm no expert but would love to help if I am able xx

I am having a good day 😃😃. 

Busy at work and I've been to the gym after. I've done my meditation and I've been texting some friends. 

Great stuff Amber. Are the gym and Meditation helping?

You are doing great. Not letting this stuff get in the way, I have a feeling you will be better very soon xx

I love the meditation and the gym. I definitely think the meditation is helping. I think when I sort out my eating and fuel my body better I will feel even better! 

Good day thankyou.... even if it is a Monday smile xx

 

I struggle with eating too chick but it's slowly coming back. Nurse told me to eat little and often and that also helps anxiety. I'm trying lol wouldn't mind,normally love my food smile

I love the meditations too,especially before I sleep xx

Mondays are usually rough for me David. I have quite a full in time from Friday to Sunday and on Monday obviously my sis and bro in law are back at work so it gives me too much time to myself. Think I must be on the mend because today has flown by and I only had one moment of anxiety xx Glad your Monday was good. We are moving away from so so smile xx

Excellent !!!! busy weekends are good smile 

Plus one moment of anxiety today has got to be good////

So so isnt great is it.... just going through the motions xx

We are really rubbish with the so so. I think good is a vast improvement.

Yes one moment of anxiety was pretty good. Hopefully that's a sign that things are looking up xx

Hy Gillian, working over wk/nd so today & tues are just following the same  (grr). . Have felt really  emotionally settled & stable (not manic or low), so chuffed! Strange how some days are so different!!

B w Marty.  

Awe that's pretty good going Marty. Stable and settled is what I think we are all striving for.

Yes you are spot on how different days bring different things but it's just the ups and downs. Any good days mean we are moving in the right direction and makes the bad days a little easier to deal with.

Made up for you that you feel chuffed...you should be xx

Ah thank you. !!

I'm having trouble getting my replies to show up , what am I doing wrong ? :-( 

Ahh looks like ive done it. What a lovely post . Thank you. My husband is going through a deep

Depression. I've never seen him like this, it's usually me who is depressed. He hates his job and I think that's the problem. He jumps down my throat at any little thing and said he wanted to move out. He said he just wants to be on his own. I'm trying to give him space , but don't know any other way of helping him. He wouldn't go to the doctor . I'd be grateful to hear your take on this, and anyone else's. 

Hello Peggy.

Can I first say that depression makes us think all sorts of things. You will know this yourself from past suffering.

I know from personal experience that I've had thoughts in the past of leaving my partner. I've known deep down I loved him but still didn't stop me thinking that thought...it's what depression does to us!!! 

I think we are so overwhelmed by what is happening to us..the thoughts,the feelings that we will cling to anything that seems like a solution.

Maybe it's my relationship that's the problem??? I wonder if I leave I will get better???

We know that this is not a true reflection of our feelings but because we have that thought,we analyse it and wonder if it's true. If it wasn't true,it wouldn't enter our heads right? Wrong!!

I cannot begin to tell you some of the thoughts I've had over the past 15 weeks. I can even laugh at some of them now but at the time they filled me with fear and confusion.

I think the anger comes from frustration and guilt.Some people cry,others get  mad. 

We are telling ourselves we are ready to take our lives back yet it's still not happening. We are doing all we can do to fight our way out and yet we are still in that deep hole,feeling this is never going to end.

You are doing the right thing giving him his space but don't allow him to treat you shabbily. You are suffering also. 

Be gentle and supportive but don't push him to talk or open up. He will do that if he wants too.

And be gentle and kind to yourself too. Have time out,you time so you are more able to cope with what's happening. The last thing you want is for this situation to send you into a depression too.

We are here for you, we don't have all the answers but we can offer support and reassurance.

God bless you Peggy and your hubby. I do hope he's on the mend soon xx

Thank you so much Gillian. It's good to know that there's  someone there who understands.im so glad I found this site :-) x

Your very welcome xx
