Hi Lisacj,

Chin up you will be ok, what's getting you down?

I haven't been to good myself the past few months, in so much pain with my clavicle and wrist, but now I am getting somewhere with the doctors and feel a lot better. I understand how it can get when you do feel depressed as I felt the same, at one point I just could not stop crying and sleeping, but now I feel better.

This site is fantastic to rant on and to share concerns, remember you may feel alone but your not on here xx

So sorry to hear you are feeling so bad. You could see your doctor - it is recognised that having a long term illness can make you depressed.

It is hard work having PBC when it seems like every week something else is not working properly and the constant pain from the joints (if you get this) etc etc

Take care. I hope you feel better soon.

Sorry you feel so depressed I was the same a couple of years ago couldn't cope, cried for no reason sleep pattern all over the place. I then decised to go to the doctors felt strong walked in sat down and yes cried. He was so kind he sat and listened. I'm now on tablets called citalopram a low dose take one aday and feel so much better. He also said not to eat chocolate or drink coffee which I must say helps. I now have the taste of white chocolate yum with ice cream. Keep your chin up we all know how you are feeling we are your friends. Take Care. x

Fudger126,Val02 and Jude1, Thanks so much, yes it does help having you all, knowing someone is listening and there to hear my rants. I am on citalopram for the last 2 weeks, started on 10mg as they made me even more exhausted and just upped the dose to 20mg, hope they kick in soon. No choice, i'll keep going but it is so hard, seeing an immunologist in may and gastro guy again, so one of them may listen and offer help,xx Thanks so much again all of you x
