Do u ever feel depressed at all?

[Lynsy]

Have you ever felt close to breaking point and like your life cant get any worse??? Im seriously depressed rite dis minute! plz answer

[ummmm]

Yes, on many occasions. I look back and feel proud of myself for coping.

I have said many a time....I can't cope anymore. Then something else happens. Guess what? I coped :-)

[CrazyCathy]

Yes but don't we all feel like that at sometime?

I don't think I've been depressed I can get low but very low enough to be depressed.

I licved with a mother who was depressed and she couldn't even get out of bed some days she was so low.

[NoMercy]

Yes I do! However, some of the people I know who are constantly depressed, are very much architects of their own misery. I think to a certain extent we are masters of our own destiny, except for the things that are out of our control (i.e. bereavement, redundancy, etc).

What would you like to change in your life, lynsy? x

[Gormless]

You have just posted a light-hearted enough thread, just how depressed are you, are you unhappy or depressed?

Depression is utter hopeless blackness, can come upon you very rapidly, and be aware, this is a medical emergency, not a touch of the blues.

[pastafreak]

Yup...many times....money,money and more money-thats the root of it all. The cooker fan has packed in,the drier has died...there is white cat fur everywhere and I have just come back from my hols.....so everything is drabber,colder,noiser,smellier,blander,greyer,..oh i could go on and on.

To the point of a blade to the wrists. I was all set to go, but the thought of what it would do to my folks made me reconsider.

It's a dark old hole, Lynsy, and you don't want to be stuck at the bottom. I went to see my Doctor and had a really good chat. I'd decided before I went in that I didn't want to take any medication and I haven't been on any. Ironically, it was Channel 4's coverage of the Italian Football on Sunday afternoons (among other things, I have to say) that set me off!!!!!

I have bad days and not-so-bad days but I manage to get through. You've got to do the same. If you've got a really good friend who will sit and listen to you then lean on them and bend their ear. Let them know you'll be an outlet if they find themselves in the same situation. Alternatively, you could come on here and vent, now and again, if things get really bad.

Try not to look back on things and dwell on them. Forwards and upwards, m'kay?!!!!!

[Gormless]

Very helpful knobby, just what I'd expect from a Basildon bling-ridden tattooed semi-literate chav.

If Lynsy is seriously depressed - rather than just a bit pi$$ed off - she needs medical attention promptly.

[Gormless]

I did, I said she potentially needs swift medical attention, not cheap unfunny puerile attempts at humour from an obese chiz-mate innit oaf.

I'm feeling abit like that too at the moment.
I'm being bullied at work by this woman and my manager. My ex husband who was violent is now threatening me yet again thanks to my daughter.
The only thing that keeps me going at times is my little 3 year old son.
My life was going so well until recently and no matter what I try and do it seems to be getting worse.
I don't think my life will ever be as bad as when I had to flee my ex though and live in a refuge for 10 months.
I will come out the other side as I always do though I just need to find a solution.
Music helps me but at times I feel so alone with it all being a single parent

[CrazyCathy]

Lynsy don't you have a counsellor at School you can talk to?

If you were seriously depressed right this minute I don't think you would be in the right frame of mind to be posting on here

[joko]

gormless is right...the word depressed is bandied around far too much when someone is just in a bit of a mood

real depression is a world away from just being in a huff or something

it also doesnt come an go ''dis minute''

if you genuinely depressed lynsy, you should see a doctor..you may need medication or some other treatment...
