Thread: hello

  1. #11
    Hi I'm 66 yrs old, and believe me when I say that strange things happen when you have depression. Age doesn't come into it and we all need looking after sometimes. You've done the right thing by going to the Dr's. and having anti D's. Take advantage of any help that is offered to you. I'm sure this episode will pass and hopefully you'll be back to your old self again soon.

    Hello, sweetheart. Please, please don’t feel guilty or ashamed of what happened. You’re ill and needed help, and you got that help. Not everyone could have managed that alone. As for not remembering, maybe that’s your brain protecting you from the horrible bits of the day. You’re safe and getting treatment and support now - that’s all that matters

    Hunni, I’ve merged your three posts as they were posted within a short timeframe of each other.
    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.

    Perfect post there Flo I'm older and not wiser than you, but as you say age doesn't come in to it.

    The brain has great power but can do strange things, it is what being human is all about

    what a lovely group of people you all are. Thank you all for taking the time to reply and so kindly.

    I understand age isn't relevant, I hope I didn't offend anyone with that. I guess I'm learning that none of us could have predicted our situations and that they are individual.

    Hi Paula, thank you for saking.
    Im feeling a bit more human if not fuzzy. I think the meds are kicking in... not sure I like them but finally I see I need some form of help to get through this.
    today I had my first psych appt. lovely doc who listened and didn't probe, she seemed to understand me and asked what I wanted and not what I needed.
    She said I would see her weekly ofr 6 weeks and horse "mind counselor" who would meet me for coffee and chats..... im liking this !

    not sure it will work but Ill try xx
