I have to say my dark sense of humour has helped me through, first time I was prescribed prozac the GP told me I'd be able to drive while taking them and I was thinking, Great! Cos I couldn't drive before!
This was after hardly any sleep for 4 nights, so I kind of knew I'd get through.
Another instance that sticks in my mind was that my now ex husband left me on pancake Tuesday, AFTER eating the pancakes I cooked, so later I'm telling people this fact and adding that I wished I had known as I'd have smacked him around the head with the frying pan instead, People's reaction seemed to be a nervous laugh then backing away. You're not allowed to have a sense of humour when faced with these situations, apparently it's innapropriate! lol

Thanks Angie, night Maddie,

When I was in a very dark place, I also had 2 children to bring up on my own, one was just 10 months old. I had to find the motivation to get on with things as I had no choice, I'm not sure how I did it - very much hour to hour - spot on there by the way Kitty - and I hope I never have to do it again, but I think at the time it was the saving of me.
Ta for your comment Maddie, I'm always a bit anxious to put any opinion which someone might get upset by, I couldn't care less about annoying the bullies though, just the people who might be genuinely hurt by a comment of mine.

Hello all,


I hope this thread opens the door to people suffering and allows them to speak. Family members and many friends of mine have suffered, infact more have than havent,

We need each other to cope with depression, to make each other smile and laugh and cope with adversity,


Love to all,

I actually agree with you on the motivation issue.

My husband would make me get dressed and take the girls to school...........I hated it and didn't want to, but it worked and soon I was doing it without him nagging.

Without his love and support.................I might still be hiding under the duvet! :)))

Kitty

I lost count of the times I was told to pull myself together

I wish I could of

It is something I now know never to say, but unless you have been there you dont know

Glad your well

Tomorrow is always another day, and I ahve learn't to take each day as it comes

Good luck

Helen why would anyone jump on you?

You certainly know a heck of a lot more about this than I do (I dont know anything about this subject) your opinion is just as valid as anyone elses here that knows what they are talking about as you have been there.

I am glad you too are on a good roll at the moment :)
