    Sorry to hear that stupidusername, break ups are always hard even when everything else is going ok in you life.

    Hope everyone else is doing ok?
    I'm ok, knackered just down from a very long day in the hills, another one tomorrow, it's great though to get out and do some mountaineering for once.

    Signed up for that AWARE program so fingers cross I get a place, I was looking at the ones in Dublin, kinda a pity they've none in town.

    Hi All,

    I'm off to bed now as its late, so have a good sleep everyone. Remember, when you wake up in the morning, say to yourself, "There is nobody out there who is better or more important than me":cool:
    Goodnight,
    John:)

    @ Stupidusername, hopefully you've had some sleep. Breaking up is hard, worse when you need the person, i know it's a platitude but the pain will lessen. *Hugs*

    Hi Stupidusername,

    Sorry to hear that, but it will pass. I know its not what you want to hear right now, but there is plenty of fish in the sea. So what I want you to do is
    pick yourself up, dust yourself off and start all over again.

    Advice is very much welcome on this (but no diagnoses just what to ask for in the docs or if theres any point going just nervous about what to tell her is going on):
    I went to the dr's bout depression before christmas, its still there now but for the last two weeks I've had constant psychical symptoms, 2 weeks ago I had trouble sleeping and became dehydrated, then a few days after that started happening I got a virus like thing for a week which came the day after an intense workout so ive stopped going for fear of getting too worn down in the final weeks of my degree, I feel like i don't have the energy.

    For the past week I've got 8 hours sleep but wake up with pounding headaches and blood shot eyes and can barely walk or think, I'm extremely slow at doing any simple task and have been leaving things on and hurting myself by accident a lot I just feel like half my brain has gone to sleep and I keep trying to rest but its not going away, I think its depression again but I don't know what to say to her, I don't want meds, I think I need her to know my condition and maybe ask for iron levels tested or hormones maybe as ive had a period every two weeks for the last six weeks or maybe its hormones im sad and tired a lot of the time but sometimes im crying for no reason, I nearly collapsed [my knees went like jelly and i slumped down for a second while waiting at a light] on my bike in traffic yesterday and I can't stop crying the last few days I don't know if I should work through it or is there any point seeing my doctor if im in counselling and dont want meds... what else is she supposed to do is there any point??

    When I first went to the doctor about my depression I had blood tests done to check if there was any medical reason for my symptoms. Tell her all the physical symptoms and she will know what tests to run.

    Hi Snoopy, I'm only new to Boards and just found this thread 20 minutes ago, I am concerned for you at the moment and if you feel that you have no one to talk to, will you consider ringing 'The Samaritans' - if I'm allowed to put their number up- 1850- 60-90-90, that number is a 24 hour service and they are there to talk to you if you are down. Or google 'Dublin Samaritans' It's all confidential - Sorry if Samaritans have been mentioned on a previous page, i haven't read the entire thread yet, just trying to help and don't mean to be advertising samaritans but it's a voluntary group.

    Thanks, I suppose I felt overwhelmed by it or worried that I would sit down and she would be like there's nothing wrong with you or nothing I can do, will just try and write down symptoms and try and tell her clearly what has changed and hopefully won't be told ah im just stressed with the end of college, its really been affecting my work so im worried shes gonna think im looking for an excuse or this is just normal for the end of a degree year.. not sure why im so worried about this.

    Don't even know how to put into words how bad I feel, I'm just not here anymore. Taking the baldness so hard that I think what is point trying anymore. Went to the train station during the week but know i'll never have the balls to do anything. So I'm caught in a place being ready to go but too afraid to do anything. Just hoping that if it goes like this for long enough it give me a moment of craziness where it all ends.

    Bank holiday week-ends can be exceptionally difficult for people of all kinds and if you are in a low place they can be particularly hard. the high expectation that they should be a fun, relaxing time can add to the pressure.

    To those who are suffering badly - perhaps try to hope that things just might feel a little better after the week-end and park the worst thoughts for the moment.

    I went to my doctor about this and he wanted me to take a load of tablets to"fix" it,I refused and am still struggling on,I feel I have nothing to live for,its the same thing every day,and I can't stop sleeping,im just drained from it,I have stopped telling friends as i feel i am moaning all the time,the over eating to the point of being sick is ongoing,and I'm picking rows wit himself for no reason,I feel if i go on tablets the weight will pile on and that's the last thing I need,its hard enough fitting in society at a size16


    So grateful for someone who feels like I do - am now officially obese and it has added to my self hatred. Looking in the mirror has become a nightmare. I hate getting dressed, having a shower, anything that reminds me of my size. And I feel like people do look at me differently because of my size. Ugh. And with depression, its hard to motivate myself to do anything about it

    Was recommended this website http://www.cci.health.wa.gov.au/resources/consumers.cfm and was wondering if anyone has had any experience with it? Its basically CBT treatment.

    The workbooks seem quite good but not sure if I have the motivation right now to get stuck into it.

    I just had a short panic attack there. Filling out forms for a job I did in college I should have submitted weeks ago, and I'm having trouble filling parts out, and I got really panicked. Think I'm a bit worried to go to the office and ask for help cause I'm so late submitting it. I'm kinda considering not submitting it, which means I won't get paid for my work, which makes no sense :(

    Uch I don't know whats wrong with me lately, haven't been this bad in well over a year!

    I don't think i'll ever not have these insecurities. I hate watching everything that goes on.it's so tiring. I need it to stop. So now I just think let it go,it doesn't have to mean anything,but I just can't.
