Hi Eddie :original: I get this too!. I have big fears of failing, not being able to cope etc and I find that when I'm worse with the depression, I just don't have to care as much or I can convince myself that I won't have to. Still a though . You're not alone hun, Luv blue

to the board Be Happy Hope you find the boards really helpful. Everyone is very friendly here . Well done for posting Love Blue xx

Hi Gayle xx First, Well done, I am so proud of you for making this step :hug: . Like the others have said, if you could go prepared and write things down so that you don't forget and it may make you feel better to have it down on paper in front of you. You would then also have the option of giving the notes to your G.P if you struggle to say it all at the appointment. I would definately mention the S-H and the problems you've been having with eating, just so they can get the full picture of how things are for you. Well done again hun . I really hope this will be the turning point for you and that you'll get the help that you deserve. Love Blue xx :hug: :clover:

Yep ... Had a problem with taking too many painkillers from the ages of about 13 to 15, Also alcohol at around the same time. Had a struggle with the alcohol again for the past few months, but been doing well with that recently ... just gotta stop myself getting back into the tablets thing now.

Good luck for Wednesday, Gem Hope it goes well Love Blue xx

Hi Smile, sorry that you're having such a rough time . I'm really sorry to hear that the waiting list is so long, it really is so bad that people have to wait so long for treatment . Have you tried any of the s'help books that are available?. A lot of people on here have found them to be very helpful. Trying one of these may help whilst you're waiting for your appointment to come through. Could you perhaps go back to see your G.P and tell him that you feel the medication isn't helping. It may be that it needs changing and he'll be able to help. Maybe you could try doing a little bit of volonteer work, just to get you out of the house a bit and get you used to the working enviroment again. This may also help to make you feel a bit more ready for some part time work etc. I hope that you feel a bit better soon , and that things start getting a bit better for you. Lean on us when you need to, we're all here for you xx Hope that helps a little Take care Love Blue xx

Thanks everyone for the info , I really appreciate your help . I'll wait till I hear from them and just take it from there. Thanks again Love Blue xx
