I’ve been all over the shop. My uncle (
mums brother) passed away early May and there has been a few family bereavements on dads side too. So it’s been a struggle.
I’ve been put on Antidepressants as I’ve not been myself and I got to the point where I realised I wasn’t ok even when I said I was. But had to come off them as they were making me feel unbelievably unwell. Back in tomorrow to see where to go from here. All I’ve done recently is read a lot cry a lot and started knitting.
Diabetes is much better but still giving me a run for my money - but it’s majorly improved so here’s hoping that the light at the end of my tunnel isn’t an oncoming train.
Wedding planning is sort of hit and miss. But if someone mentions a bouncy bleeding castle one more time I swear I’m going to Gretna!
If I’m not about but you want to message me privately to check in make sure I’m ok feel free to ask for my email.
There are zillions of different anti-depressants out there so if these didn't help another one will. You have to keep taking them until you feel back to normal. They do work. They won't suddenly make your life brilliant but they will help you to cope with the stuff that gets thrown at you.
Depression is poorly understood by those who have never suffered from it. It is horrendous.
I felt so different on them so much OH was saying I went from not saying much to couldn’t be kept quiet. But I’ll find out tomorrow what one we can try next. Although I have to say when Oh leaves to go home now I haven’t cried in 2 weeks so that’s progress. But will keep fighting on. I’ve found talking has helped though.
I've been wondering about you, Queenie. Sorry you've been through a bad time. You will come through it. Hopefully your GP can find the right AD, to suit you. It is trial and error for a lot if people. You will get there. One day at a time.xx
Hello queenofmean,sorry to hear of your problems,watch you don’t get tagged with a poor me,time is a great healer,go to Gretna why not,all the best from jordyboy9 XXX
Thank you Jordy. I just see this as a blip. I’ll get there and as you say time is a healer but you don’t know how much time you need so I’m of the view you take all you need to get there. I suggested it (Gretna) on the way back and got shot down but I’ll be going if I see a bouncy castle ;) xx

And the understatement of the year award goes too????
(wolf will understand)
Depression is a killer,
Some people are fortunate enough not to ever have to encounter 'True' depression. (as oppose to feeling a bit 'low' every now and then)
You'll get there Queenie ;-)
