JUst when I have a couple of days where I feel able to get through the day, it comes and smacks me in the face again. I want some warning next time! I hate it- being alone, isolated, empty, withdrawn- all of it.

That is what is so hard about depression, it doesn't play fair, hits you when you aren't expecting it, when you think you are getting better things suddenly change for the worst.

I hope things get better for you soon (and stay that way)

1flagwriter- just everything getting on top of me, and now my mum's coming to stay for a few days and I have to be strong enough for both of us, when I havent got the strength to be strong for me. I just want it to be over

I know how that feels....it happens to me all the time. It's hard to be strong for two people especially when you barely have enough strength for yourself. It's just something that you have to get through. When everything is able to settle down for a bit, then I know fo rme, I try to lie down and relax and try to gather my strength for the next time. That might be all you can do to prepare and thats probably the only way you can not have it be such a shock when it comes.

Hello, Chronic. Can you talk to your therapist?

Hello, Chronic. Can you talk to your therapist?

I havent got an appointment until next Thurs, and I really dont want to bother him in between. I will just have to find a way of getting through it
