Hi. Thank you for your posts and emails just thought I would check in. I am still here for the moment, don't worry about me. I appreciate your concern. I still don't think there is anything out there for me though. I have plans in place. For now though I am here.
I hope you are all well and going along great. This forum has some really great people and is very supportive. 💜

Hi @NatureLover The drive was really hard and felt very tired. I used to be able to drive it no problem but now any long drive and I feel like I am going to fall asleep.....
Feel quite down again tonight unfortunately, so so sick of feeling this way!! Looking for positives though but not really finding any.

@Lilly6 I know what it's like to be looking for positives and not finding any 😞
Well done for accomplishing the long drive yesterday despite it being really hard.
I hope you wake up this morning feeling a bit brighter...

Thanks decided to post after all as I wanted to talk. Sorry if I am annoying people with all my posts.
I am struggling bad today and feel crushed. Have had a bad morning trying to help a friend who I am worried about now. Didn't know what to say to help him feel better. So finding it hard to find positives right now. Is it better to say you are there for someone and not really say anything but be there or offer the usual platitudes??

You're definitely not annoying anyone, that's what these forums are for, to post and get peer support 🙂

I reckon better to say you are there and not really say anything...but I don't know his situation (and I don't need to know). I'm sorry though that you feel crushed and low.

Thank you @NatureLover i feel somewhat better this afternoon. I think being so tired after yesterday didn't help as well as the stuff with my friend.
I am working closely with my therapist (I am growing to like and trust her) and mental health and generally I am starting to feel more positive.
thank you for being so understanding through all my negativity. I hope you are well.

Am delighted to hear you're feeling a bit better this afternoon @Lilly6 🙂
You're allowed to be negative when you have severe depression. But I'm glad you're feeling some positivity too, that's great. 🙂
Thanks for your good wishes, I'm doing OK today.

Hi just wanted to say today was the first day I felt actually positive and even good. I am taking my meds and even though early days I feel the change already or else a placebo!! Thank you so much for putting up with me. Now I feel more positive I can be supportive of others again. 💕💕
