I am feeling okay, actually siad to my partner , (while explainging to my 5 year old , ...not to mix the wet food with the dried fodd, The cat does not like it). partner says: \"Thast no way to speak to a 5 yr old, and the cat eats it when your not about\", then he says.......\"I dont think your well enough to go back to work, nevermind a new job\".
Guys, friends out there, i am so glad i have found you people. This man would quite happily kick me down with stuff (dogs durt) on his shoes. I now have that shamed gutted feeling in my stomach and want to cry, but I am trying to get some breakfast down my throat, and hopefully i want chuck it up. :grrr:
I am going to have to put my headphones back on, I am not strong enough to take this at the moment, especially as my mum has phoned and sounds like she is in a lot of pain. Poor mum, why is it the nice people get sick, the good people seem to get all the bad luck? What is this...I mean...I think melbi is correct in her analysis...we only get depressesed/anxious cause we care....yes we care more than others, and on a comparative level with my childrens father, try 150% more than others. I hate this hurt. :cry: :cry: Ill try my brunch, then I am going to go back to bed. take care people.

The work thing is a very difficult one. I want to go back to work as I feel well enough to do so. Okay, I still have some pretty crap moments but I cope with them.
My doctor on the otjer hand stated yesterday that I am not ready to go back to work. His reasons were quite simple really! I still need the use of sleeping pills to get to sleep - his concern is that if I go back too soon I may very well have a relapse :roll:
Thankfully my boss has been very understanding about this and told me not to get stressed over my doctors decision.
Yesterday was really bad for me because I want to go back to work even though I do worry in case I do go back and find I can't cope, yet my doctor is refusing to sign me as fit for work.
Later on, especially after having a chat with my boss, I realised what the doctor has actually done is taken away my concerns about coping when back at work, he has made the decision and I have to be grateful that he is concerned enough to have done this. As my boss says, I have to go with the doctors decision and not get stressed about it.
Perhaps you should have a word with your doctor with regards you going to work. Does he/she think this would do you more good or more harm?
Has your doctor not offered you any kind of therapy, anti depressants can't and won't cure you, me or anyone else, they are just there as a lifeline to help you cope with the symptoms but what you and all of us really need is some kind of therapy. Either counselling, CBT or other support.
Why try to run when you can't yet walk? If you feel work is the answer for you why not try some voluntary work first for a couple of weeks and see how you cope with that. I know it doesn't pay but at least it will give you the opportunity to see how you cope before committing yourself to paid employment.
Also, while doing voluntary work you are supplying yourself with more references - and doesn't that look good on a CV - has done voluntary work! :D

When you have 2 children, as you well know, Melbi, (and yes ME = BAD MOOD), i HAVE to feed , clothe them , and get them shoes,,,, that fit! Money is another power, and actually if I hvae money and hes not GETTING IT then my best focus, is on children and work....children /work, hmm yes maybe cat...maybe my mum should come before the cat. Its not the doctors life...I simply cant cope with tuppence in my pocket,,,and itd probably do me good to get out the house. I cant get signed of work, i dont want to get signed off, i want to work and give my children a clean living for their future...I never want them to feel like I do.
I am worried about being surrounded by good looking know it all youngsters, but the woman that interviewed me seemed very open and understanding about issues that I had with my previous employers..She seemed very mature and looked like she might just be fun to work with. My partner/problem just needs to get out my life/this too makes me feel sick, but I am resigning myself to the fact their is no point trying and as I left him on the phone last night gabbing to my sister, I would not be surprised if he has been after her all this time, and my children were just an accident, not an act of love. :shock: I hate poeple who abuse. If you think about it these people use there physical strengths in the wrong way/the opposite ways from which evolution wanted these tools to be used. Abusive people never really get what they want, and are spoilt creatures by nature, bitter by the hurt that theyy could not have what they think they deserve. Well 2 fingers up , and I am happy to get on with what little means I have.

You are much stronger than the Katy of a few weeks ago. What has changed? You are more positive, that's what!
You may find this job is fantastic!!! And you may find it difficult. Either way, your first duty is to yourself, so what can you lose by trying?
Yes Katy, I recognise the lyrics. You know, being strong for your kids requires you first to be strong for yourself, and you are on the right path to do that. Hang on for the ride, Katy, it gets better. See the good around you, not the bad, \"I believe in angels, something good in ev'ry thing I see ...\"

Sometimes words can seem so inadequate when you sense someone's struggle but here goes anyway......
I think Breezeman is right. You do sound stronger, more confident of late. Maybe you are drawing strength from your children? Has your success yesterday at interview made you feel better about yourself? Perhaps returning to a work environment will build your confidence further?
I don't have the answers, I'm afraid. In the final analysis, only you can decide what you are capable of dealing with and what you can manage.
My only advice would be to make your decision for yourself and for your children and remember that every affirmative choice you make, every decision that comes from you, is a step back to being the person you want to be.
Best regards.

There were enough of the lyrics to recognise them. And we all make typos here!
But you're doing better than you were, Katy. Good luck tomorrow with your first day at work. You might make lots of blunders, but don't get flustered. Try and work out who's the best one to discuss your immediate job-training problems with, and just persist!
I know you can do it Katy.

Katy, Breezeman is right. Give it your best shot.
Remember that no-one will expect you to be perfect on day one so don't try and demand that from yourself.
Good luck. Be magnificent!!
Best regards.
