Content is probably the wrong word. I have health issues and then my anxiety took over and now I'm diagnosed Agoraphobic and find it extremely hard to leave the house.
I was ditched by alot of friends when I decided I didn't want to party anymore in my late 20s because I was just wrecking myself.
For me personally, the worst feeling is when I am feeling numb. My body and mind knows that I am sad however isn’t allowing me to act on it by crying. It creates such a nasty suffocating feeling inside followed by intense nightmares!
I hate this too x
Sorry to be like this, but I’m really struggling today. Would appreciate some good thoughts my way x
Sending them.
is there anything in particular that has made today so tough?
Remember, we experience these things like waves, they come over us and move on. Sometimes these waves are big and seemingly insurmountable and sometimes small. But the waves always move on.
Sending you all the good energy I can
ITT has said it perfectly.
It never feels possible when we’re in the midst of it, when that wave engulfs us - but we always come out the other side.
Keep talking to us xx

Remember you don’t need to explain why things are hard if it is too difficult, just know that we are here.
(posting why is hard sometimes- seeing those words written down is too painful).

Guys, changing meds this week , went to the chemist to collect 3 months E260 , Phenergan, citalopram and zyban , to say I nearly collapsed when she asked me for the money. They better work at that price !!!
Are you in the UK? I do the prescription prepayment, it works out so much cheaper x
Same here, PPC is so much cheaper and takes the stress off. Hope they work though x
Thank you, I'm in Ireland. I completely forgot about the monthly drug scheme, Ill take a look now
I just got through to the HSE line, super helpful, turns out I already had the card but she will re-issue to me and I can see about a refund but may not work out any cheaper in this instance , thank you for reminding me

Does anyone else, when they’re in a low place, get really annoyed when other people “want things from them”? Not quite the right words, but essentially I have four big things coming up (like weddings / events / guests - nice things that I should look forward to) and I just want to tell everyone to leave me alone. I’m feeling out of control because I’m waiting for interview dates for a job I really want, it’s been dragging on for ages and I really bloody don’t want to be going to weddings and all day events and having people to stay, I just want to focus on preparing for the interviews and I’m really good at doing lots of things at once. I just want to tell everyone to go away, and then I feel guilty and ungrateful for thinking that, and so on and so forth… ugh.

I really appreciate your encouragement and support (and checking in on me @Into_the_tunnel 🫂). I am just so lost at the moment, it’s my favourite time of the year and I’m supposed to be happy but I’m not. As someone brilliant has mentioned already, pressuring yourself to feel a certain way is the worst. I’m currently under a bit of stress with exams, job interviews and my ED playing up….I am also waiting for my therapy appointment and really worried about it. What if makes me feel worse? I’m known for always making up dramatic scenarios that never come to life though, I should remember that and just try to take things slow. Thanks again, sending you both a big virtual hug!I can relate to that. I was talking to another depression sufferer not long ago and they gave me this little piece of advice that has stuck with me: try to hang onto people who love and appreciate you. Being around them might be unbearable at the moment but don’t push them away. Set your boundaries, have a day off from socialising, leave that party early, but don’t let your completely depression isolate you. You are so much stronger when you know that you are not alone and are needed.
I know there is no one-size-fits-all solution so take what you want from what I’ve written. Good luck with your job interview, I’m sure you will smash it!
Glad you touched base. I find that when the weather is nice but my mood is not, it just makes the whole thing so much worse, it is though we are expected to be happy now (everyone hates the rainy winterThank you both so so much

) so when we don’t it hurts that much harder.You obviously have a lot on and the obvious things will rear their head. You sound like you know what to do about taking things slow and thinking rationally. One by one, each of those things will go (exam stress never lasts forever- that is what I told my students. It feels like the world is closing in at the time, but take it day by day. Can you do a nice thing after each one?) and you will be able to go to your therapy and what you are terrified of won’t happen. It might not be perfect, nothing ever is, and if you feel worse then you can stop, reassess.
Sorry for long post. Things are up and down too. Trying to distract from own thoughts.
Still here, still sending
.I spend like crazy when I’m upset/very low.. I’m usually great with money and love saving and being on budget. But I get in these moods where I just lose control, I just love spending
Spending is a big warning sign for me too. Once my MH goes out of control my spending is very extreme. I often have no recollection of it either, just get random parcels turning up!
I’m a spender too. I’m deep in it at the moment
