hi people, i have written on here occasionally but for years. i now know and can recognise when my health is sliding. i walking out this morning - with the intention of not coming back. i don't want to go on, exhaustion is knocking me for 6. i feel drained, i have not slept properly in weeks and then when i do sleep i over sleep. how do i get the balance so my mind can cope? more importantly is there anything i can do so my physical health can cope too?

Hey what really happened? To make you feel like this? You're obviously stressed. From what Ive learnt mental and physical health are very closely synced. I have a feeling something is bothering you which is why it's taking a physical toll on you too. Maybe you should try yoga and meditation. It helped for some time.

hi ssssh, i have managed to speak to a mental health charity today, when my phone finally worked. everything just got on top of me including a very ill cat, my auntie is really sick and lots of practical problems to deal with. i sobbed down the phone today, but the counselior i had was so kind she just listened to me.

hi sssssh, this is a quick update, on top of all this problems forgot to mention the assault counselling i am having that is breaking my heart, i have not shook yesterday off yet, not been happy for days so caved in and rang my doctor's but now feel guilty for doing this!

Hi Sam!
As the first step, you have to get a proper sleep. Dosen't matter even you have a lengthy sleep. Then you have to take time and think "why im getting depressed". give a little effort to find out the real root course. if you able to find it , you will be able to find the solution too. but some times there can be a chemical imbalances in your brain( like bi polar disorder). if that is the case, you have to get few tablets for few weeks. Do you have access to a hospital?

hi Eric, before you even wrote about sleep on here,, i luckily got a really decent amount of sleep last night. my problem is not generic depression, i wish it was. my main problem is assault everything on top if this just worsens my ability to cope at all. i could feel my self slipping and couldn't stop. i have now sought doctor's advice but due to the nature of what this is i will only see a female and for that i have to wait. i feel better than i did but not totally out of the woods. i just find the sessions so horrendous i have generic support for other problems so i can cope better with this specific counselling. thanks for your support, i will only use tablets as a very last resort and i have not reached that yet!
