Depression creeping up again

Hi @utopia

I hear you - you feel as if you are going downhill again and this isn't good

You are right - they are just stories and you don't have to re-live the emotions but they do come to visit and stay awhile don't they

It's sad about your son though and if things are really dark it's best if he is at your mother's -

I think this has something to do with holidays and 2 long weekends in a row - some of us are isolated and though this is usually okay with me I am feeling it by now

Thinking of you Utupia

@utopia Oh utopia I am so sorry that you are feeling so poorly. You were very kind to me when I was feeling off the rails. Let me return the favour and help you whichever way suits you best. I am here for you utopia.xx

I'm sorry to hear you're not doing so well @utopia. Do you think talking about such a traumatic experience has put you on even shakier ground?

@utopia

Feeling for you. I have struggled with the Depression demon and the ambivalence about sharing home space. I am not sure how appropriate this is, but is it possible to flag to your son that you are unwell and need space without having him go to your mother?

@utopia, so sorry to hear that. You're always so supportive of me, and I would love to return the favour. Unfortunately I dont know how. I have an idea of how you're feeling though because I recognise all those things you mentioned - sad, restless, jittery, out of sorts. Still feeling that way myself actually.

How old is your son? I gather he is school aged, in which case he will probably like the chance to spend some time with his grandmother over the school holidays. Hopefully some time alone can allow you to blow off a bit of steam and allow things to settle again.

My thoughts are with you.
