This implies that you were an alcoholic. The last thing an alcoholic does is accept they have a problem, trust me!
Give me a break. It's 20 to 5 in the morning, I've drank too much coffee and I'm reading about bloody screwworms as I have an entomology exam in 5 hours.
Whatever it implies, I don't really care.
I know what an alcoholic is and I know I never was one but I also know that I was drunk/stoned for 18 months solid and, imo, that would be classed as a problem.
I'm not trying to argue with you. TBH, I've got more important things to think about. I just don't like people implying I don't know what I'm talking about or judging me on a couple of posts made on an internet message board.
I'm sorry if you got the wrong impression of me. I hope you can fogive me
Sorry for wrecking your head...I'm not really that bad! :thumb:
To be honest sometimes you just DONT know why your depressed you just are. I still only realise how low I'm feeling after a week or two.
Just talk to them and see if they can help you, thats what thy are there for, and it should be 100% confidential.
Worried what is going to happen when they aren't.
Really don't know what I'm doing in life or where I'm going. Constantly feel overwhelmed and lost.
I got hold of something sharp and went into a complete frenzy and didn't stop until I felt dizzy standing up and collapsed into my bed. There's blood all over my sheets.
Sigh.
Your not useless, your really not. From my experience when you are feeling depressed you will push people away as you dont want to let them know how badly you are feeling or to stop them getting close to you so you cant emotionally hurt them/let them down. Depression can be a very loney place.
I hope the councilling goes okay tomorrow.
I keep getting the "I want to do bad" feeling for no reason, though. I stopped taking my Citalopram a couple of weeks ago cause it wasn't helping, but I dunno what else I can try. I've done the pills, I've done the talking, and neither of them are helping.
Maybe I'm destined to be fucked up forever.
I didn't go to my psychologist today. I was asleep! Woke up quite long after my appointment, and didn't even call them to let them know what happened. Now, that is fucked up
Just because one particular type of AD didn't help you, it doesn't mean none of them will help you. I went through several types before I found one that seemed to help, and even then, I had to go up in dosage a few months later. It is a very long and generally nasty experience, but when you find something that does help, and doesn't give you every side-effect under the sun, it'll be worth it.
No tablet can make everything feel better - but they can make each day just that little more bearable.
You know where I am if you need anything
I feel that if I go to bed, I have to wake up again... And feel that I've wasted yet another day..
I don't want to go back to counselling. At all. And people keep telling me I should. Sigh. I just...DON'T WANT TO ;(.
i haven't got a knife sharp enough to cut
I'm not a strong as seem to kid myself that I am.
Love,
Kate

Welldone! :yippe:
If you believe you can do it then you can.
*sends love and luck*
Facing up to your problems is the best thing you can ever do. After persuasion from this site, I faced up to mine and sorted out a horrible relationship.
I'm still a bit hurt from the way things turned out, but that's what happens after a relationship.
The best thing is that I haven't even considered hurting myself in anyway since I did it.
Do what you gotta do! It works!

I wish you could have my counsellor - shes brilliant. Ive only had her for 4 sessions but shes helped me work through so much stuff already. Can you register with a doctor in colchester Franki cos I seriously recommend mine.
Thats really cool, keep it up
Nobody is saying its easy, or that everything floods out at once. It took me a long long time to start saying things completely openly with my therapist, and I saw her on a very intensive basis.
The only way it won't work is if you give up. It's easy to think it's not working. It's easy to think you can't do it. It's hard to work through these fears. It's hard to realise that yes, it is working. It's hard to realise that yes, you can do it.
I honestly believe a lot of people remain depressed because they're too scared to be not depressed. They're terrified of being successful, of being good, and they'd rather stay sad simply because they know it. Their psyche will sabotage any efforts to change matters because their psyche doesn't know what else to do. It's the same with SH- they continue to SH because they're too scared of not doing it.
I don't pretend to feel anyone else's pain, but that is what I believe happens. It takes a lot of guts to face up to the little voice saying you can't do it. It takes guts even when you are doing it. That's one of the hardest lessons I learned in therapy. It made me really sad when my therapist told me that I was doing well and doing it properly, even when I felt I wasn't being good at anything.
Piccolo, that's great. It's what happens. You go 12 hours, then 12 days, 12 weeks and before you know where you are its 12 months. 12 years.
Ah... but this is the trick, you see. The counsellor is a complete stranger - you don't know them, they don't know you. They won't judge you, they won't tell anyone else what you say - why would they?
There are worse things in life than giving some trust to a complete stranger
I...I dunno. I've already told her I'm not going anymore. I just get angry, and would rather be upstairs having fun with my friends tbh.
Sometimes talking to a stranger really does help. I do it... I can't say that it has turned my life around, or made everything suddenly feel better. But it has helped to put circumstances - and people - in my life into their rightful place.
Sometimes just talking about things to someone outside of the family and friends circle just means you can say absolutely anything you want, about anyone you want. No repercussions, no ill-feeling.
