Feeling Sad

[queenofmean]

OH has gone home for the week, I’m all sad.

I’ve had a turbulent week, I’ve got the ‘Visit’ from hell caused by stress from giving evidence. I feel like phoning the GMC and asking to pass on a message along the lines of ‘thanks for this you prize pr!ck’.

I’ve a busy week ahead next week as it’s Avon Christmas party, I’ve a house to clean, work to fit in and Avon in between too. All I want to do is cry, I can’t even have a soak in the tub.

Dad has said we can go to Livingston tomorrow though to finish up Christmas shopping and has promised me a trip to the Lindt Chocolate Pick and Mix shop, so that’s a plus for me.

Have a good evening xx

Perhaps the chocolate will cheer you up. :-)

It's completely normal to feel sad when you say goodbye to someone. Don't beat yourself up about it

When I was suffering from deep depression I was told to “Think about what you have compared to others than what you don’t have”

You have a home, a job, a partner and food in the fridge so imagine you were single, on benefits, homeless and hungry and count your blessings you’re not that person xxx

[237SJ]

^If you were suffering from depression, those thoughts wouldn't have made you feel any better.

You've had a tough week, it's probably taken it out of you a bit. If you get a chance to relax and spoil yourself a bit, make the most of it xx

Queenie, it can't get much better than a trip to a Lindt Pick & Mix Shop.

Hopefully, you can put this week behind you and look forward to Christmas x

Queenie.......give it twenty years and you'll be happy to have a week on your own.....believe me..... ;-)

(((hugs)) for Queenie.

(Agree with 237sj @19:12. Thinking thankful, positive thoughts when ur suffering from depression is about as helpful as a chocolate teapot.)

I am Tilly. I thought I’d feel better after Thursday and I did for a while I think it’s just the hormones too.

Thanks 237sj - I know it is I just feel all over the joint and he always makes me feel a bit better.

I’ve been that person jahulaye, to a certain extent, but sadly the one true person I want right now I don’t have. It’s playing on my anxiety.

[Jahulaye]

Ahh, I see what you mean queen. An pining heart is somewhere where I’ve been many of times, it’s hard to think straight when everything reminds you of that person xxx

Jahulaye, whoever told you that were obviously not working in the mental health services - that has nothing to do with depression, QoM isn't depressed either, she's just a bit sad today.
As for me, when I feel overwhelmed of what's ahead of me and don't know where to start, I write a list, as I tick it off when I've each task finished it's much easier - that's an idea - the week without your OH could be a good time to get what you need done without distraction

[Jahulaye]

She’s pining for her sweetheart ducksie

[ducksie]

I know that, I've been reading the thread ;)

[murraymints]

Oh I don't know Ducksie, Ive been suicidaly depressed and had people in the mental health services basically tell me the same thing ''look on the bright side''...when all I wanted to do was throw myself of a bridge.

[ducksie]

I'd love to be brought somewhere really nice that I just love - that'd cheer me no end :) at the end of it, I'd devour a nice hot chocolate with little marshmallows floating on top, that would be my ideal treat to brighten my day

[ducksie]

Ye have a weird service over there then, I've been through it and never once were those comparisons made to me - I was long enough in it to be almost institutionalised - a different lifetime

[Jahulaye]

“when all I wanted to do was throw myself of a bridge.”

Well luckily you didn’t as we all enjoy your company:)

[queenofmean]

I’m actually pining for my late mother. My OH and Dad can only do so much, right now I really just want my Mum.

Thanks for the hugs Nailit!

The trip to the chocolate shop will be heaven Rocky...so much chocolate, so little time!

Thank you Pixie :)

Minty I’m allowed the middle of my bed and both sets of pillows, Phoebe sits at the bottom right of the bed Max middle left. I’m either going to do the crossie or watch a film on Prime.

I’ve got my list of chores to do Ducksie - Wednesday is clear to crack on and Friday will be any last minute bits.

[nailit]

Not weird Ducksie, just incompetent for the most part.
