Really sorry about everything that has happened. One thing you should never do is not take your meds. I don't know why something this important seems to go over Dr's head and they don't tell patients. You could ask for a cheaper med. Or for samples. I was taking cymbalta and couldn't afford it and got samples from my doctor until a generic came out that I could afford. There are programs provided for those that can't afford doctor or meds. I understand wanting to crawl under that rock but we can turn things around. Going to therapy groups in your area could prove very helpful, And the person leading that group may be able to tell you how to get help. Life can seem so unfair but I think you want to get help and I truly want you too. I know you can get help and one day you will be helping someone with advice. This disease is impossible for people that have never experienced this depression to understand. We are here to help each other and feel free to post anytime you have questions or just want to talk. I have personally been where you are, as have many. We made it through and want to help you. Take one day at a time and look at the future and not keep living the past. Tommorrow is your concern and we want to wish you the best. I believe in you, God bless and comfort you.Barbara

Hi,

A lot of the depression may be down to your financial problems.

If you have been diagnosed with depression by your GP and are taking guidance and medication from your GP then a good place to start is the C.A.B.

They will go through your financos with you and draw up a payment plan to keep your debtors off your back. Don't do anything rash like remortgaging to pay off any debts your only adding to hem.

Once you have the financial problems sorted you can concentrate fully on your mental state.

Of course you may be very rich, can easily afford a 45k hit and are not in financial difficulties, then good luck to you.

I lost my company, my creditworthiness, but not my home or wife. I still suffer depression, anxiety and ptsd, but take meds for it. There is help out there, it's finding it that can e difficult.

It is important you get back onto your medication, do you have any lft from your old script ??

With your Depression and no medications. Are you on any State benefits that would allow you a free script ??. If not talk again to your Surgery or CAB and see what can be arranged.

Relaxation Techniques may help keep your mood stable, your GP may have tapes that may help. Breathing Techniques can also help you control any Anxiety you suffer from.

If you are unemployed you may be able to get free prescriptions, talk again with Surgery, Job Centre and CAB for advice.

It is important that you start your medications again. Has your GP offered a course of CBT to explain coping exersises.

We are here to talk with you here if needed

Hi Villa,

sorry this year has been so bad for you!  So upsetting to hear what your staff did to you. I kinda wonder if there is anything you could do legally? hmm 

I agree with the others that you must somehow get back on the meds. I thought Gary had good advice about getting samples or generics of maybe even some kind of free mental health service will have something.

To combat my depression in addition to meds, I run an hour a day and try and eat food that is proven to help depression like beets. I don't know what to do about the binge eating except for me I can eat a ton of sweets so I never keep it in my house because i could binge through it.

I wish I could help more, you have a lot on your plate now but you can and will get through this. It may take some time. Make small goals to figure out your financial situation and seek help from a free mental health service.

Good luck

Hi,

No, it's not easy when you lose so uh but it puts things into perspective.

A lot of people , when given a second chance at life go on about the air smelling sweeter, the songbirds sounding louder etc. etc.

All I know is the debts are still there, the mental and physical difficulties havn't gone away, but the things that seemed huge in the past now look tiny.

You can only do your best, if that's not good enough then too bad. Life's for living just maybe not as we knew it.

Mike.
