Hello there I am really bad feeling depressed as I have a lot going on with my health just now it is really getting me down with it all

[Petrina_gmfc]

I just wish I don't feel like this and it is making me up set all the time I bust out crying for no reason.

Petrina, I'm sorry you are feeling this way. I'm also dealing with mental and physical health problems at the same time. You are not alone in this. It can be very overwhelming to have more than one thing going wrong at the same time. Crying can be a good way to get some of the emotions out that are running through your mind and body. Though it's not fun to have a sudden outburst of tears, sometimes it is needed.

I'm sorry you feel bad life's very difficult really life is cruel we toil it's really tough nothing we can do but small things help I guess

[Petrina_gmfc in reply to Vasiliki99]

[Vasiliki99 in reply to Petrina_gmfc]

It is a cruel life - things do not go the way we want and still we want people to feel special it is toughI agree I cry all the time my health is so poor physically too

I’ m sorry you feel so upset and depressed Petrina. Like yourself and LoudButScared I have a mental health issue (depression) and physical health issues. I have been referred by my GP to the local IAPT team, have been asssessed and should be starting CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) in 3 months time. Perhaps you could contact your GP and let them know how you are feeling, they may prescribe medication and/or counselling. Please consider it, and in the meantime make good use of this forum if you need support. Best wishes to you. 👍🌺

Aww thanks GP gave me tablets I had them before.

[Rachmaninov2 in reply to Petrina_gmfc]

It may be worth speaking to your GP again to see if he feels that they are working as well as hoped.

Did you enjoy lunch with your son?

Yes please. I know there’s a waiting list in some areas so might be best to do it as soon as you feel able.

Totally understand! I have 2 health conditions & Long Covid which I caught on hospital while I was in with Renal stuff. I felt so overwhelmed with it all & life has changed drastically. At 1st it just seemed one thing after another & I was so depressed. Am on anti depressants which help & have to adjust & do things differently. Most important i have to give myself a break & take things as they come & learn Self Care & be kind to myself & try not to get upset if I have to cancel an invitation or event because the pain is too bad at that moment. If it's a good day with a bit more energy have to be grateful & see friends etc I know that sounds hard maybe but it helps me.

When the depression tells me I don't want to get out of bed I tell it to **** off.

Wishing you relief from this nasty depression soon

[Vasiliki99 in reply to shouty]

Depression from Eckhart Tolle point of view is just a spiritual progression from being a basic man it's consciousness evolving, sorry call it bad but it's just grief , what bad about grief, grief is real. It is a dirty world. People don't live safe lives. People live in stress and fear and dirt. No one cares for one another. Like you say discipline yourself and be kind to yourself totally. Self care yes yes. And dose of space to you real emotions and just be comfortable in knowing our family do feel sad and be stuck and frustrated we do be self harm and be we maybe none of us live very happy lives. It may not be e be a very world one of can live in a happily and have good relationships. It just drags somewhat but be everyone's is like that. Everyone xxxc

Lost 2 people last year & it took a lot to want to keep on going after that but so hard sometimes

[Petrina_gmfc in reply to shouty]

I know what you are going through I went through the same as you last year to .

[shouty in reply to Petrina_gmfc]

Sorry to hear that

[Petrina_gmfc in reply to shouty]

It is fine

[Vasiliki99 in reply to Petrina_gmfc]

That's sad its difficult, this society never values people's bereavements and we never have the spiritual know how that we need and that's what bereavement needs. Spiritual journey. I been bereaved loads it's painful and it's shocking.

[Vasiliki99 in reply to shouty]

It is very difficult, I lost some, it's painful, but focus on wat u can do for them that's nice , they live closer to us then you think they are in a world near by

[Petrina_gmfc]

Thank for that I am not to bad when I get out but if I can't get out that's when it gets to me but I know that I will get there 😃

If you are not already on medication, it would be a good idea to ask your GP for a prescription for an antidepressant. I would also recommend cognitive behavioral therapy as effective against depression. Therapy would be a good idea, but you can also get the book feeling good to get started on CBT are your own.

[Petrina_gmfc in reply to Hidden]

I am on depression tablets for it .but thanks anyway.

[Vasiliki99]

in the home emotions perculate and simmer n boil and nothing you can do it happens in my home - it just sad really , our homes are never loving ang happy and satisfying nor the external world and somehow we cannot get out of all this strife no words sure there no words for emotional pain and no way through those moments but to know i suppose. the loneliness of all this ownership of grief ownership of anger it is so much i cant find myself when i get so bogged down
