Have you considered looking into 'SAD'? (Seasonal Affective Disorder). Not goona make you feel better but might be of interest if any of it seems familiar.
Try http://www.sada.org.uk
Then again you just might be having a lousy time, so chin up and hope you feel better!

well you answered your own question its coz you havent been on ab for a while :-)

depression can sneak up on you and makes you see everything as negative. i get exactly the same sometimes. are you prone to feeling down? if not, jenky is probably right with SAD. x

[marley2000]

4getmenot u seem to pop up everywhere on ab and you always seem cheery, i'd to take u home and put u in my pocket wherever i go!x

Awww hunni, so sorry to hear that!

I do know how you feel though, i've been feeling near enough the same but dont feel like talking to anyone either. I got so bad the other week and i've had such a rubbish time that i went to the docs & they signed me off work for 3 weeks, only just been back a week now. They also offered me counselling which i haven't done anything about yet.
Have you been to docs? They might be able to help you.

Hope you feel better soon!

Ps, i'm always on msn if you need to chat. xxx

Oh Sam I feel exactly the same. I feel very tired, work is very boring, this is one of the only sites that keeps me going lately. The nights are dark too soon, I drive an hour every day and that is getting tiresome, dont feel I can change my job (like you), also I am about 4/5 stone overweight and thats getting to me. My face is looking older, grey hairs just about starting to appear etc.

I know this doesnt make you feel better but at least you know you are not alone. I think Im gonna leave this office in a min and go for a good 15 minute brisk walk to see if it makes me feel better. They say exercise releases good feeling endorphins! Maybe thats the answer.

thanks guys im thinking about going to the doctors but i dont want to go on anti depresents .. xxx

[stylinsam]

i think its a phase im going through x

[marley2000]

visit to docs is good idea (i was offered anti-depressants and counselloring before both of which i took but neither worked-for me). my doc was very sympathetic and helpful and they do offer help. x

[marley2000]

if they offer anti-depressants they'd start u on mild ones.x

[fayelc123]

I said that i didn't want to go on anti depressants either but then i started talking to people & was surprised how many people are on them & my mate told me that they just cheer u up, stop you from having negative thoughts all the time. & none of the people got addicted

[marley2000]

i tried about 3 different types and none of which had any effect on me and no addiction occured.

Have your hair done, cover your spots and buy some clothes that make you look thinner. If you look good you feel good.

aww marley thanks I'm not always cheery ask redcrx :-), but we are trying to cheer stylinsam up here :-) So maybe put her in your pocket as long as its nice and warm for her, she's been feeling the cold lately. :-)

[marley2000]

4getmenot, it's those like u on ab that get me through the working day. i will put stylinsam in my pocket with a minature duvet with wine and chocolate. hows that sound stylinsam?xxx

[stylinsam]

4getmenot your such an angel, il have you in my pocket too xxxx

Well have just come back from my walk, wasnt that long was it. I think losing weight is the key, do that and you feel better about lots of things. Did you hear that David Gent has lost 2 stone in 16 days from being on Im a Celebrity - I cant imagine losing that much weight in so little time.

From what I�ve read on your past posts though, you seem to feel sorry for yourself and it does seem a phase as I know you�re quite a cheery upbeat girl. I really don�t think you should worry about how you look either, from descriptions on here before you�re not fat. I think you�re a bit like me, well I know you are, you wouldn�t change yourself drastically but every now and then you want to just tone up or be a bit slimmer, usually after a clothes shop where nothing fits because you�re trying to fit into the size 8�s or after you�re looked down at that tiny bit of belly while sat in the bath. Well you know how to sort that, say I�m size 12 and proud of it and just sit up straight in the bath :-) You are so much of a beautiful person with just what I�ve seen you write on here, don�t get yourself down. xx

[marley2000]

he still isn't any more goodlooking (and it doesn't take away from that hair...)x

[4getmenot]

Oh I put all that after you'd called me an angel now it makes me look like I'm after more compliments. No really you dont have to, Oh go on then if you insist, Go ahead I dont mind, Tee Hee. :-)
