Depression Understood Forums

Haven't visited your corner for a bit, so I thought that I would start with the topices that were at the bottom of my screen, and then work my way up to the most recent. I actually got a laugh out when I read the punch line of this one. I am old enough that I can remember when that ad campaign for t...

I was pretty sick when my kids were young. I still think that I was a poor parent. I spent a lot of time in my bedroom, only coming out of it to make supper. Often I wouldn't even eat with them. Just retreat back to my room. When that thought comes to mind I remember that my daughter wrote to me onc...

I also read your entire posting. I think that I have sent a posting your way already tonight. I am glad that you decided to share what is going on with you. Keep coming here, whenever you want and try to share what is happening inside. Even though you cannot see us, you now have a forum family there...

I have been struggling from depression for many years. Once I had a counsellor who told me that if she could wave a magic wand, and make the depression go away forever that she would but she couldn't. For me I go along ok for a while, then it seems like I slide into such deep depressions that I thin...

I have done the hospital thing many times myself. At one point I remember that when I was in the hospital, all I wanted was to come home. When I was home it was the opposite. Sorry that your "wife" told those lies to your employer and screwed up your work place situation. It is good that y...

Welcome, I also had problems with sharing problems with people. I didn't mind how much my friends would depend on me, but I didn't feel comfortable reciprocating. Then I got to the point that I couldn't carry on alone. I guess that I made some comment to one of them that was scary. They jumped right...

Hi Stu, and welcome to the forums. Must admit that I have no idea where Swampea is. I am not sure if it is a place that you made up or if I just don't know my geography very well. I would guess that it has something to do with Britain because you used the word bloody in one of your statements. I als...

Sometimes things don't go the greatest for me during my days.

A visit with Warmie certainly brightens my days.

I should be thanking you. Not the other way around.

Big hug sent your way.

You have found a safe place to share your feelings.

The forums are such a help to me, that I miss it if I don't manage to catch up with things.

The people here have helped me through some rough spots.
They will be here for you too.

Hi cloudysky,

We didn't learn too much about you from your first post.

You have found a warm and caring bunch of people here.

Look forward to learning more about you.

Again, welcome

Wecome to the forums. Good to meet you. When suffering from depression I know (from experience) that it gets easier and easier to isolate yourself. The more that you avoid work, the easier it will get to find yourself not go in to the office. A good thing is that you are reaching out to us. At least...

In spite of having a busy day, where I didn't have my leg up much, things aren't doing too bad. My football team played tonight, and won. Managed to keep the jumping up and down to a minumum (actually I don't think I jumped up at all in spite of it being a close game). After it being up so much toda...

My shoulder is doing better today. I have used it some and it hasn't given the pain that it did earlier. I didn't even take a pill last night to dull the pain. Have been walking too much on the leg though. I think that I am not getting enough support, at my ankle, with the walking cast. The back of ...

The style of your posting certainly gave us a lot of information about you.

Very much to the point.

Looking forward to you posting more about yourself.

I certainly second the idea of going to Warmsoul's Corner.

Often when I read her postings she gives me something to think about.

Quite often she has given me a lift, and a chuckle, over her postings.
