So... I feel like sharing.... Ive been diagnosed with depression unfortunately before Christmas...

Out of the blue, i kept on working best i could and maintaining "normality" ... Worked Xmas day etc... All got too much end of Jan there and ive been off for three wks!

Been taking fluoxetine for about two/three months now. Have good days and have some horrible low days where i want to cry alot!! (I dont cry as much as i used to!!! Esp in work!!)

Those who remember me might remember i had alot of panic attacks... Probbly related so a bit of anxiety ontop of it all is making it a tad more difficult.

Fantastic friends & work colleagues! Mr Tinks does try to understand- not always sucessfull! Had the odd stupid comment from people that seems to knock me for 6!!

Just wanted to share experiences really!? My "line" is due up friday and being really honest i dont feel ready to go back!

Im happy. Im loved. Im lucky- i feel like a fraud!? Dont know why im like this and i truley truley wish i wasnt!!! I feel like i havent suffered huge loss like some people and im embarrased that im like this when people are soooo much worse off than me. I have lots to look forward to!

Just was wondering what helped any of you!?

Iv been walking my dog, caught up on some sleep but not too much! Trying to go to slimming class, and gym... Im just sooo exhausted xx

Well.... Things with steptinks mother can be... Annoying!! Court stuff is done hopefully for good! Just the bill now to pay! Ha!!

I wasnt going to tell mother or father my situation but a good friend who has kids said i should give a chance because she thought how she would feel if her kids couldnt approach her!! One or two tiffs but actually rather good!!!

Things in the mum department have been fabby of late. We speak every day- get on good- i think iv accepted her mistakes, shes a person! Not just a mum! A work colleage a friend a daughter - so much more than just my mum... So im over it!!!!!

Yay im normal! Haha!! X

Tinks, when I the big day?
Gavmacp is right. The very fact that you managed to post indicates that you are not in the very depths. Well done. I'm newish to here and don't know all your background - but I know about depression (sufferer in the past and it always lurks). I was a teacher in very, very tough schools and also raising early-teenage children and experiencing a collapsing marriage as well as my mum dying (dad needed physical support also). I thought I was coping and then the world collapsed (looking back, calmly, I was a train ready to crash.

I think that what I am trying to say is that you are doing well, please don't feel like a fraud - you are not one. Look forward, seek out any help going and accept that you are loved and that there are good things in your life. Hope this helps a tiny bit. :0) x
When I first read the title of your thread I was going to suggest watching Eastenders and Corrie for a week but then realised it was to get over depression

You'll get there soon I'm sure x
