just had a shitty evening getting annoyed and shouting at my partner , although i know its not her fault at all. this just makes me feel even worse , as i then feel guilty !!!! i have had enough of depression and the effect mine is having on those around me . sometimes it seems the harder i try to sort things so i can feel better the worse they become ...life seems to be one step forward and three steps back at the moment . i try to remain positive but sometimes it helps to wallow . i actually feel better for writing this down . special thoughts and wishes to everyone else who is living with depression .x

I think it's very good to write things down and see them in black and white. My psych suggested that I keep a daily diary of exactly what I do during the day and it's amazing what you do achieve. I also had to write a list of my achievements over the last 42years,( I am an older lady), and it was an eyeopener to look at that list. Now when I feel down or that I 'can't do something I have to look at my list which shows me that I CAN do things. Maakes you feel a little more positive about yourself.And we are always here to listen and know exactly how you feel because we are in the same position as yourself. All the best.

Your very honest, and as I live alone I have no one to shout at. Its hard when your Depressed, I get annoyed at my self a lot, so I can understand what your feeling. Make sure and apologise to your partner and give them a hug. Taking a five minute type breathing space can help too in this situation, I often did this myself when I got really stressed at work. Take care of yourself and things will improve.
