Many years ago, my sister went through a very similar thing. I won’t say the same because everyone’s situation or experience or however you want explain it is different. She has several bouts but one was particularly bad. When she eventually got through and was well again. She opened up to me a little and said she asked her doctor will she ever get better and stop feeling the way she did. He replied she would but he just couldn’t put a date on it. My sister said that little snippet gave her a tiny bit of hope to cling on to. Although it’s tough for you at the minute, just keep something to cling on to, to try and focus on. Also, go to the local walk in place, don’t mean to go….go, they will definitely help you.There's a local walk-in I keep meaning to go to.
But getting up is becoming a terrible struggle.
If you are severely depressed the first hour or two after waking are extremely tough.
Well, it’s not much, but I always laugh at your jokes;)I’ve got a few new medical issues over the last few years to add to my mental health ones. Currently awaiting blood test results including PSA test for some prostatic symptoms. It’s hard to stay positive all the time and even putting shit jokes online can only go so far
Hang in there blue . Please pm myself or any of the other people who have sent love . Your not alone. Please Please stay positiveJust had a good cry
Life hurts so much and has hurt me so much
But tomorrow is a new day
That’s what gets me up in the morning :-)Well, it’s not much, but I always laugh at your jokes;)
Can sympathise as have had similar problems re prostate since October last year. Had my blood tests re PSA on Tuesday. Have added complication of a works disciplinary hanging over me since start of March also. Despite repeated requests for more information from HR and management I still don't know the exact allegation. Not doing my mental health any good but trying to remain positive and life could be a lot worseI’ve got a few new medical issues over the last few years to add to my mental health ones.

That a bloody great way of saying it.It’s no fun living with someone with mental illness but I know it’s even less fun being them.
The support for fellow blues on here is heartwarming.

I think there's an email for Samaritans if you'd prefer to do that than ring them. It's whatever's best for you, mate, but they're always there whenever you're ready.Couldn't wake until teatime
Was just exhausted rather than staying in bed to kill time or because I just didn't want to get up
I'm hoping to get a foreign holiday this year , not had one for many many years
And there is Euro 2024 to look forward to
Still holding off ringing Samaritans and I just don't know why but I think I need to
Take care mate, if you think you need to then you know it's right.Couldn't wake until teatime

Will ask if i can morphine for the nites , didnt want to go there but my usual pain relief is not enough
Thanks , will discuss with my dr what to do , he might say no but i think i have a good case having been through the investigations and the pain clinic and fibro has got worse nowI was on morphine after my stoma reversal and was told I could press for it every six minutes. It wasn’t addictive etc. Just ask the professionals what you should do.
If it's the calling and saying things out loud that's daunting you, you can email Samaritans at jo@samaritans.org or they can sometimes be contacted via chat here: https://www.samaritans.org/how-we-can-help/contact-samaritan/chat-online/Couldn't wake until teatime
