Depression
44 Answers
After suffering from the blow to my head I am now suffering from deep depression with headaches and worry. Also the lump whilst not as big is still there. Am suffering from extreme anxiety and definitely loss of more deafness.
I had to make a call two weeks ago to the audiology department re "everything" but I couldn't hear the options. Another friend is calling tomorrow to try and make an appointment tomorrow. The other neighbour/friend who done all has finally left and so I can't call on her. In fact she rang me last night to says she has had a fall in her daughter's house where she is currently residing.
Jesus I honestly don't know where I am at all.

jenny......you are depressed because you have had a head injury and this is quite common.
The lump on you head is not significant and playing no part in your clinical state...it is almost certainly a subperiosteal blood clot and is no big deal.
You depression is a big deal and whether you want to or not, if it entails hassle, you need to get medical advice and treatment.
That's it jenny...in a nutshell.

It's the depression that makes it seem too much hassle, when you are depressed the simplest tasks can seem impossible. But ( I wish I could double underline and embolden the next bit) making yourself do them even if it takes all day is a step towards recovery. It's not a case of trying to pull yourself together, just of getting help. If you are drowning even if you can't swim you will still try to get to a rope or a lifebelt. Trying to get through to a doctor is exactly the same.
Jenny, I am badly depressed and anxious being disabled and now suffering after effects because of Sepsis in November. I realise what you are going through, but you must do something about it. The 111 service has been very good to me. It has a mental health service which is confidential and doesn't involve your gp if you don't want it to. There's help for you out there.
And I stress I felt just the same as you about seeking proper help.

Lottie, I think JJ is hard of hearing and finds it difficult to use the phone and that is why she is hoping her friend will help her out with this.
Also, when you are suffering from depression (as you probably know) you know you have to do certain things but you really can't be bothered, especially if you are having a bad day.
JJ, your depression will not go away by itself so one way or another, you need help and it's down to you which way you want to go about it. I hope you manage to get the help you need. xx
