The Mrs   10 #49 Posted January 16, 2014 Thankyou all. I've made an appointment with my GP on Monday, I've been on the phone all day and had to make a claim for benefits. I'll keep smiling for my children because I'm all they have got. I haven't got family and not really any close friends as I've only lived in this area for 2yrs. I miss having someone to talk to but you've all gone out of your way to offer support and kindness and it does help. I do feel a bit lonely and isolated but I suppose I'll get used to it??

Oldtrout   10 #50 Posted January 16, 2014 Keep strong!! You CAN and you WILL get through this!  Sometimes, the deeper we fall, the stronger we become. It's amazing how your body copes when you simply HAVE to do things. My depression is more manageable when my elderly mother needs me to care for her ... it just somehow spurs me into action, and my depression retreats for a while.  I have learnt to accept today; tomorrow might be different ... it might be worse, but it could also be better, so never expect your feelings to be the same every day. One day at a time!!  You must concentrate on your children now, so keep strong for them! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

medusa   16 #53 Posted January 28, 2014 Except research published this week shows that vitamin D is no better than placebo at preventing cancer and depression.  Maybe you're promoting this because you sell it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
babyblueeyes   10 #54 Posted January 28, 2014 I've suffered with depression since I was a child due to horrid things happening to me. Now I'm older with kids and it keeps returning, it feels like a punishment. Living a life like this is like torture I need to escape from. I have a loving husband but no matter how many people you have you feel alone. I'm considering just leaving as I make everyone unhappy. Does anyone else suffer like this? I'm on tablets but honestly I cannot keep living life like this   Hi there like people said on here seek help from gp, ask to refer for councelling or some sort of therapy I too suffer from depression due to personal curcumstances but to be honest I think I ve suffered this since teenager I have been seeking counciling but I'm also having thereapy called BCT which is fantastic it helps a lot.

SportsTrophy   10 #59 Posted January 28, 2014 (edited) This time of year is a pinnacle for SADS sufferers which is a deficiency of vitamin D, systhesised by sunlight. Make sure you can get out and about for a 20 minute walk between noon and 2pm. You can buy supplements like Ginseng and St Johns Wort which help lift your mood. In order to absorb the Vitamin D you also need vitamins B and C so have a look for a good multivitamin if you think you need to.  Exercise helps but is costly, I have posted on the free football sessions that SIV are charging £10 per hour for specialist sessions at Concorde. you may as well get a life card and go swimming in the evenings to help you sleep.
