[Maggiet in reply to celtic2746]

I find the same as well. I can leave a few days between accessing the site and the same recent posts are still showing. Hope you are doing OK.

Hi David,

It was busier on here but I think alot of people are struggling at the moment. I know I am.

Sorry to hear about your anxiety, hopefully your pyschiatrist and neurologist appointments will help next week

take care of yourself,

It's amazing how busy I am now that I don't have a job and my children are grown. My mental health sometimes feels like a full time job.... I get lost reading posts sometimes. Thank you for your comment... and reminding me to participate more often. Hope all is well with you. Best, Tamra

[celtic2746 in reply to teajay]

Hi tamara being a mother is a fulltime job on its own i think you are great for looking after them ! David

David can I ask did you suffer from Anxiety and Depression before your brain

Prob.

Try and stop worrying, tension and worry can cause headaches, I used to get awful

Tension headaches, now I am more relaxed.

Stop worrying, try and distract yourself by doing something nice for yourself, or

Read something or listen to music. I don't know enough about you to give more

Advice at the moment. Good luck with Drs anyway, are you on any Meds for Depression?

Hannah.

Hello David

Depending on the day and time things can go peaceful here. So it is nothing to do with you and your needs, we all shout out and sometimes our shouts are not heard for a time. Many people have lives to live and this does cause period when no one is around.

If you feel you need a chat go onto the private lines and call us sometimes this may make for a sooner call.

Sometimes I will get e mails and these appear on my email posts if I have put on a post to site. Use my blog name borderriever

I do a lot of Voluntary work and meetings sometimes I may not be on site for a few days. I will get back to you

So sorry David. I have been busy today and haven't been on since this morning. It has been quiet here recently though. Bev xx

[celtic2746 in reply to Hidden]

Hi coughalot hope youre keeping well my friend ?

[Hidden]

Ish thank you David. I have COPD (lung disease) and today have been trying to sort out my bedroom (lots of dust and exertion). My neighbour was having a bonfire too. So my poor lungs are really feeling it now and feel a bit sore and inflamed.

How are you now? Feeling a bit better I hope? Sorry about no replies sweetie. Bev xx

[celtic2746 in reply to Hidden]

Hi there bev thanks for.your.message i was nice to hear from you hope your keeping well.! David

[Suzie40]

David you're absolutely not expecting too much. I'm so sorry I didn't reply, I looked in this morning and there were no new posts. Things have been a bit crazy today. Mum has taken a bit of a turn for the worse and is being re admitted to hospital. Spent the day helping to sort that out and haven't been online

Sorry x

Hi anne thanks for that ! Will let you know how i get on take care david xx

[AnnieQ in reply to celtic2746]

How did you get on yesterday?

[lin62-65ze]

Hello David

I agree we all lead busy lives. I do read the comments on hear but they all appear negative!

Last week I watched a gardening programme with Monty Donn, I do not know your age but Monty has suffered with depression too as I have and really the only cure is focusing on something you can enjoy.

This man was on who said he was inside a dark tunnel for over four years, he finally got out of it by gardening, if you like drawing, painting, walking, swimming, anything to take you out of yourself.

My son who is 35 yrs old has depression too, he is now self employed with a mortgage but he has a dog and I know that has helped him.

Hope this helps you. Take care you are not alone you will get better.

[celtic2746 in reply to lin62-65ze]

Thank you for tak8ng the time to reply ! Its really getting me down espescially the headaches which i get upset about ! Dont know what to do ! David

[lin62-65ze in reply to celtic2746]

Think you should try to get outside in the fresh air. I get a headache too I try not to take tablets, otherwise lie in a unit dark room a while.

All symptoms of depression, be strong

[celtic2746 in reply to lin62-65ze]

Will try that ! Just cant seem to get better ! Ive always worried about taking another brain hemmorage which i was told was unlikely ! Just wish i could believe that ! David x

Hi David,

I'm new to the site, but i try to comment on posts that relate to me or when I can help people for their posts, I read your last post, I hope the neurologist can put your mind at rest about your head, I suffered something similar, I suffered a brain injury after falling nearly 20ft on to my head and an eye witness thought I was dead, but we are both here and that's the main thing.

I have problems because of the head injury, I also suffer with my legs and to a certain extent my back but I find that if I help other people I get a warm feeling inside of me which makes me feel a little bit happier.

I really hope it's good news at your neurologist appointment and with your other appointment but I honestly can't remember what that is for and I'm sorry about that, just not got the best memory anymore.

Take care David and I hope things start to improve in the future for you,

Amateur.
