Been feeling a bit better for a couple of days. Finally on the right dose (i think) of medication and having no side effects then today i just feel empty. Am feeling alone, isolated and like i want to hibernate under the duvet. How i wish i could feel like me again

I know how you feel. I have depression but I feel quite good at the moment. I have to be strong for my wife as her mum is ill. I felt down last week over the bank holiday (see my other post).

Some weeks are good some are bad and there is no reason why! My wife kept asking me last week why was I down. I didn't know why but just are at times. So I empathise with you. Especially when other people are enjoying themselves like on bank holidays and we have to put on false smiles!

I just take life one day at a time.

Aw it sure is like a roller coaster..

I hope your evening is a little better.....

Sending you a hug

Oh jeez how I wish I cud stay tucked up under the duvet today. I feel beyond tired, emotional & sore with my Fibro but I gotta get up & be at my Bros in an hour. Get thi gslrepared for. the carers coming at 9am.

I have an appointment tomorrow at 11am with my CPN but I am gonna ring her & ask her if she can give me an appt for another 2 wks. Mum & Dad arrive home late Friday nigbt so I feel I just need sometime to relax my mind & body.

Thank you Sue. Was sorry to read you came home from Mexico early & your feeling down. My son went to his cousins wedding in Mexico last September but it was in a holiday resort & everything was in the one area. They were warned that if they went outside of the resort they did so at their own risk. He really enjoyed it but said the heat would havd finished me off lol.

Take care.

Luv Jackie :) xx

Hope you are feeling better to face the world today. Depresssion depletes any enjoyment from our lives and it's so hard to feel positive. However, I must say the last few days have been good forn me so hang on in there, things do improve over time. Your mind needs to rest and recover, then you will start to mend. xxx
