Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!
Hi Hootytooty and welcome. It’s so tough when you’re in crisis - you don’t know what to do, who to talk to, where your treatment is going and just how long it’s going to be like this. But there is always a way through. Trust your doctors, lean on your family and friends as much as you need and talk to us here - speaking to people that have been there always helps. I’m so glad you found your way to us
The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
I saw the home treatment team yesterday, it's a different person every time, she wasn't very understanding, she said why did I need antidepressants and why do I need diazepam, I told her I need someone professional to talk to, she said not until I'm stable, they were meant to take my blood pressure but over the weekend none of them did, she told me to go see my to, I just haven't got the strength to go out, I'm crying all the time,I don't want to sit in the surgery with people looking at me crying. I have just rung the doctors and got a appointment for 11.50 today, I'm so terrifed they are going to put me in hospital, my mum's in a care home and relies upon me to do her cooking because she don't like the meals, I feel so guilty hate myself I just don't want to be here no more, I'm so sorry everyone I don't want to make yous feel depressed xxx
That’s disgusting! You need those meds because you’re ill and for someone to say that when you’re in crisis is unforgivable. But well done for ringing the doctors, do you have someone who could go with you to the appointment?

Please, please, please make sure you tell your GP what this person has said! It's completely out of order and disgusting!

I'm so angry at what that person said to you. As someone who is supposed to be in the caring profession, that certainly wasn't professional of them. Oh I'm glad that you've made an appointment with your GP. Good luck and maybe bring your post from here with you. It's like a diary and your GP will be able to gauge your mood from it. Good luck today, and don't forget to let us know how you get on.
I find it absolutely horrendous that they think it's OK to treat you like that, I've been in that sort of situation (my doctor told me to just get over it) and it's such a blow to your confidence, it makes you question yourself and doubt yourself and feel so much worse than you already did, but trust me when I say that your feelings and what you're going through is very real and very valid and the help you need is out there, I have a new doctor now who is super understanding and supportive and it makes things so much easier. I hope it goes well with your gp today, be strong and keep your chin up, you are important, don't let them make you think otherwise
How are you doing, lovely?
