Feeling Quite Low And Despondent

[albaqwerty]

have done since Sunday morning.

ho-hum, had a week of feeling like this last August but I shook myself off eventually.

Last August, couldn't even raise a smile. I hate feeling like this, am going to the doc's on Thursday.

I think it's just a reaction to things over the past few weeks.

No question really, it's just strange how one minute you think you're fine, then the next, you're not.

[albaqwerty]

Take care Lina xx

Thank you all, I'm smiling but still have the weight on my back, but am really feeling a tad more stronger about facing tomorrow.

(Mr Alba couldn't, he'd be completely frazzled, he doesn't know how I manage to deal with things, well, someone has to!)

alba, is something awful happening tomorrow ( no need to reply ) ?

[Peaspeculiars]

:-) keep being daft Alba, it's the only thing to get you through xx Good luck at the docs - don't be shy, tell them everything that's going on and how you feel - fingers crossed, they should be able to help. Big hug for now, and am off into the garden again, speak soon xx

Alba, I know sharing doesn't make the load lighter - but it does make it a little easier to bear.

I reached out when I was in the depths of darkness and everyone here helped me through.

Psybbo, I hate to think of you unhappy too - you are so very special ((HUG))

[albaqwerty]

back to get another food bank voucher tomorrow, Anne, and then going to find a legal aid lawyer about other matters (re bankruptcy)

No need to feel shy about replying Anne, I've posted about each :-(

I'll need to bring the washing in, it's started to tiddle. Jeez!!

Anne, you've ALWAYS given me good advice and support when I've posted a personal thread and I thank you for that, very, very, much xx

Alba - I have before said that I was part of an omega 3 effects trial which made me feel so upbeat I have taken them every day since. Just read of a study of women and men and how much fish they ate. It concluded that for some reason the omega 3 in fish really helps women. Just thought I would mention (again!)

[Psybbo]

Mamyalynne thank you and Anne as well. I've cheered up a bit now - all those hugs and nugs.

Hi Alba, hope you're feeling a bit better now x

I think quite a few of us have been where you are. I've suffered with depression a few times in my life but luckily I've had lots of people around me to help. I also came to AB during the second time I was going through it and it really helped. Hang in there :o)

[anneasquith]

I see, so you are the one who has to deal with these very difficult times........and wouldn't it be fabulous if someone was helping you , but you'll be ok as you are the strong and capable one ( or so everyone thinks ). I know you will mange to sort these ' things' out, I hope you are being appreciated for all the stress, worry. it causing you,.it will be ok, eventually,,,,,

[Peaspeculiars]

Grasscarp (sorry for butting in Albs, but it might help) - I bought some omega 3 capsules after reading your recommendation on a thread a while ago and am keen to carry on with them, however, the ones I bought turned out to be as big as horse tablets. Is there anywhere on the high street that you could recommend for smaller ones? TIA x

[chrissa1]

So sorry to hear you are not on top form at the moment, alba. Thinking of you.

Chrissa x

Alba, I think any of us in your situation would feel the same. Hopefully this horrible black patch will lighten soon and you will see the light at the end of the tunnel.
You are one of life's lovely people and I join all the others offering you big hugs and best wishes. xxxxx

Type Your Answer Here...Now we can't have two of my fav women down in the dump, can we?

What can we do. I'm over at my sister's but can call later if you wish!

[grasscarp]

Peaspeculiars mine are from SimplySupplements website. I have extra strength and they are quite a big gel capsule. I take them with water with some lemon juice squeezed in and they get swallowed quite easily.

[EcclesCake]

I'd give you a hug but I'm covered in chicken ***......

Things will work out for you. I am a little bit scared of you, I do sometimes wonder if you are more powerful than the powers that be.....

[Peaspeculiars]

Thanks Grasscarp, will try that :-)
Alba - could be worth trying the Omega 3 too on Grasscarps recommendation, (just check with the doc that it won't interfere with anything he might prescribe).
