I actually thought I was turning a corner today and bang tonight I feel so upset and feel like my world is literally crashing onto top of me.

Why can't I just be happy, why does this always take control of me.....cry

      Here's to all of us currently feeling the pinch or having rocks thrown at us, being in a MUCH better place next year.  If I win the lottery, better yet the euromillions on a rollover week, I'll send you all a big cheque each so we can get happy together smile.  I don't enjoy Christmas much anymore either, too expensive and too stressful but here's hoping for at least a calm and uneventful time with no more bad luck for any of us. xxx thank you all for listening.

    I know just how you feel.  I was off work for 3 months trying to get off of 225 mg of Effexor that was actually making my depression worse.  I thought I was a new person and happy for once in my life.  I went back to work and within a few hours bamm all of it was back.  So my depression I take it is due to the job I do.  I did read that suicide feelings are not that we want to die and leave our loved ones or to be off of this so called earth we live in.  but that we just want out of the pain that we are in.  I had never thought of it that way.  so the big question is how do we get out of this pain physically and mentally.... I don't think drugs is the answer they scare me to death since I got off of the effexor...  Keep your chin up and live one moment at a time that is what I am trying to do....

      Your right about the bloody drugs I'm still going through hell withdrawals after being off Effexor for two weeks. The drugs never helped me they just made it all so much worse and now also left with a screwed up liver and adrenal gland problems due to taking them bloody things for 32 years. I will never go to a doctor ever again lost all faith in them and bloody hopeless phyciatrist that diagnosed me with bipolar and personality disorder when in fact I don't have any of them disorders

      I'm so in agreement with you Michael.  I was raised to have respect for those 'in authority' like doctors, police, etc., and tried to believe that obviously there are good and bad in all walks of life but as doctors do so many years of training and continual professional development, I should defer to their greater knowledge.  The issue has a lot to do with the fact that they become arrogant due to that long training and knowledge gathering and just don't listen to patients who often know their own body better than the 'experts'.  I understand that they must get very fed up with patients with very little medical knowledge looking something up quickly on the internet and going in armed with a mess of confusing and sometimes wrong information.  However, when we are suffering specific symptoms and all knowledgeable commentary points to it being as a result of a specific medication, why the heck won't they sit up and pay attention?  I am now at a point where I'm almost scared to visit the doctors because I feel intimidated and unable to get my point across and end up with a bloody prescription for yet another toxic drug which probably does more harm than good.  I now visit a homeopathic health food store locally and the owner is excellent, he listens, discusses and doesn't push stuff onto me just to get me out of the door.

    Can I try to turn this round?

    I get like this as well.. Feel happy then something a simple as dropping something means that "it was meant to be a bad day" so I finish on a bad note.

    How about turning your comments

    "I was turning a corner today" (something is ready to change)

    "I got some bad news today at work"

    into

    "I was turning a corner today and got some life changing news at work.

    So now I know what corner I am going to turn into!" (i've got to change my work)
