I have just been sent home from work after bursting in to tears again! I cant concentrate and feel so emotional and depressed. I have never felt so awful or cried so much 

[Taz2]

Have a hug charlieangel 

Hopefully your HRT will kick in soon. Of course you are struggling to cope after all you have had done. Be kind to yourself this weekend.

Thanks taz. I dont no if to have a couple of weeks off work or if that might make depression worse. I wish there was an easy solution!! X

[Taz2]

Are you being treated for depression charlieangel?  Sorry if I've missed that!

Trying to work while you feel so bad will only stress you out more I think. Ask your doctor for a sick note so that you can get back on an even keel. For occasional use - those days where you just can't cope, I have ativan which helps me a lot. Did your doctor not consider something short-term like that to help you through??

Charlieangel, perhaps it would be best to take at least a week off whilst you feel so bad, it's just putting more pressure on you, you need down time, with as little stress as possible , what would you recommend if it was a good friend x

[charlieangel159]

Thanks, went to drs, been signed off for 2 weeks

Suzyq, whats ativan please?

Taz2 not being treated for depression, i wasnt doing too bad with things but the past week or so i seem to have got worse!

[Suzyq]

It's similar to diazepam but very short acting so doesn't stay in your blood stream! Lasts for about 8 hours - doesn't zonk me out or anything, just makes me feel normal! I use it very occasionally but it is ok for short term use and has saved my life literally on a few occasions. You had your op very recently, so just know that things will get better. Allow yourself some time to recover.

I hope you feel better soon, feeling low isn't great but you know that you can with a little help and support come through what you feel is never ending.  Even little works and fresh air, or something sill like a bit of shopping, or even baking!  Yes baking I started when I was off and would build my day around it, get a bath, do my hair, choose my clothes, go to store, take it steady round the store, make my purchased.  Come home have a cuppa, read my recipe and then start.  Sounds daft but it was setting a goal, all be it a small one it was worth while

I feel like I was almost loosing my mind this week, went to the gps twice in one day, hubby got really worried but I survived just. I have become best friends with my iPhone I plug myself in and listen to meditation music and it really helps, deep breathing and really concentrate on each breath, and constantly telling myself this is a phase and will pass. God only knows when though.
