    Hi Susan, sorry for your bird, I have one myself.  He is mean, but is mine :D  Take a nice and warm bath, your magnesium pill and hot tea, that will help.  Think of good things. XX

      Thank you BellaRubia for your generosity I don't take magnesium pills but I am going to talk to my doctor about natural progesterone next week 

      Treat you bird nicely even though you say he is mean

      I am so very sorry for your loss. My pets mean the world to me so I can understand how empty you feel when you lose a precious furry or feathered friend.

      Can I ask what the benefits of magnesium are? I was on HRT until yesterday but my gyne took me off it to see how I'll get on. I am terrified of what will happen as I also sufer from depression/anxiety and feel that the HRT was possibly a help with that too.

      Also - what is natural progesterone? I think I have a lot of research ahead of me!!!!

      I don't really know what magnesium is but nataral progesterone is better to take than the synthetic one because they do not have the side effects as the synthetic progesterone

    Morning Susan. im so sorry you have lost one of your parakeets, you dont say your age so im presuming your also suffering from the menapause as well which doesnt help as that alone can make us already vulnerable to feelings of depression and sadness at times so not a good time to experience a loss is it.  Hoping you do at least manage to get some sleep soon, as Marlene says life can be a bitch.

    Sue

    Hi Susan,

    I hope you managed to sleep. So sorry to hear your sad news. You are bound to feel low and find it difficult to socialise at the moment. Be kind to yourself but don't hide away for too long - we need contact with other people. In the meantime, we are all sending best wishes and hugs your way.

    I'm so sorry to hear that your beautiful bird passed away. I hope you manage to get some rest. We have a very special relationship with our pets. Peri seems to amplify any sadness that we feel. Take care.

    I know how you feel.

    I think it just takes one too many things and it floors you.

    I lost my cat 6 months ago, had her 21 years from a kitten of 3 weeks - the only survivor found in a box by the side of the road. She was sooooo cute. I hand reared her.

    I'd had a hysterectomy 2 years before that, with problems ever since - hot flushes etc. Now my sciatica is getting worse, I'm not sleeping, I Have Meniere's Disease and spend 12 hours immobile during each vertigo attack,

    Then 2 weeks ago one of my friends dropped a bowl of mine, it shattered. (was my late mum's) Since then I've been so down - I know it was just a bowl, but it felt like my world was falling apart.

    I've now got a fluey cold and my partner is away - great!

    I'm usually an optimistic person about life etc, but recently depression has kicked in big time.

    I'm just about to start on a box of chocs my partner gave me for Valentine's day - to hell with the diet! (I've put weight on since op)

    So. Be really good to yourself, you are grieving, do something to make you happy. A distraction may help.

    Take care

    Wen

      I'm not sure if that's good or bad about not being able to eat chocolate!!

      (I've been really good though - I've only had 4 - chocolates, not boxes!!!)
