I'm feeling really depressed, crying every day. Trying not to self harm but not really seeing the point. Rang my therapist but she's off sick, rang another one (from group) no answer even though she said to ring, rang the unit reception lots of times, no answer and they didn't ring back when I left a message. Saw GP on Tuesday and seeing her next Tuesday. But that's 4 days away and I can't cope. I don't think I want to live anymore. Got to pretend I'm ok as have voluntary work with youth tonight just don't want to cry.

Did you go to Voluntary work with youth last night? It might help having something to take your mind of things, and actually doing something active. Could you use your DBT skills you have learnt and might find beneficial?
*hug*
Angel!
Is there any way you could see your GP on Monday? I realise that's still two days away though. Would your GP be able to make contact with the unit on your behalf?
Not sure cos to get an appointment is hard cos they have triage GPs on the phone that make it hard.
Thanks.
What made you miss the wedding? I guess it's looking at it like, everything is as it is *hug* Would you like to talk a bit about why yesterday was difficult?
How you feeling today?
Forgive my ignorance, but has there been a specific reason or event that's causing you to feel depressed? Job difficulties, family or relationship problems, or just a low period in life? I don't mean to pry of course, but at least you know it's not uncommon! X
That's a good question to think about. Usually when I'm feeling low, I can usually later break down what feels like a myraid of worries into small bits, and find that it really comes down to a small number of unresolved issues or thoughts on my mind. If I can identify what my specific issues are, and maybe then write them down on paper as a note to talk to someone about them, then that may be half the battle sorted.
Even if you cannot resolve an issue immediately, if you can arrange to talk through it with someone or get the help you need, you'll feel much better.
I'm not entirely sure why I'm depressed at the moment, I've got a few things going on but nothing that stands out particularly.
people often don't understand that you don't have to be depressed about anything specific, you are just depressed and it has no rhyme or reason, but it bloody hurts. hope they sort your admission out soon x
Hello!
I personally don't thing people get depressed for no reason, and my old DBT Therapist thinks the same. But I do think something leads us to depression on a daily basis, etc. Even if it's not something visual, or anything, more on a self judgement basis. Like you could go from happy to depressed in seconds when the judgement of 'I'm not good enough' goes through your mind.
Often we don't look and explore the judgements that could lead us to depression, so we assume where just depressed for no reason. If you get where I'm coming from.
Anyhow, how are you doing RandomGirl?
Best wishes,
Angel
Do you have anyone that can come over to give you a hand with the washing up, or for a slob out and a chat?
I'm still here, had some toast.
Thank you.
I ordered Dominos but I don't have the appetite to eat it.
I feel so sick.
Don't have much to say but *Massive *hug*'s* Have you managed to eat something? Feeling poorly can make you feel 100x worst, but were here for you. Do you have any support around you, or someone you can contact?
I'm seeing the gp this afternoon.
I'm in a bad way. Might call the crisis team but they are of limited use.
