    Hi everyone!

    It's been ages I know. I do read the odd time but felt able to write today.

    Had appointment yesterday with cpn and went better. They finally got my notes. He was more understanding. Apparently my diagnosis is severe recurrent depression and they don't understand why I was put on a mood stabiliser from 2012. More worrying is I have never been yearly blood tested.

    The psychiatrist will see me but theres a 6 month wait. At least we are getting somewhere now.

    Hope everyone is as good as they can be

    Heeeeey @Marydoll5 it's so great to see you. I'm so glad to hear there's been a bit of progress, it's much better than none at all! We're all here for you if you want to talk things through. ❤️

    Thanks @Albus_Scope and @Sandy_123

    I think what has gradually happened is the shock medical retirement then covid where noone was working and then things got back to normal but not for me.

    I've nothing to do no purpose and no reason to get up. My world has become really small never mind depression.

    If anyone out there has ideas how I get back to the land of the living I'd appreciate it. With not being very mobile it shouldn't matter as I can drive

    Hey, just because you don't have as much going on as you previously did, it doesn't mean your world is smaller @Marydoll5, it just means you need to find new ways of enjoying it. There's always a reason to get up, you just need to look inward and figure out what that is. 😊

    I found writing lists of things really helped me see the bigger picture. Just write down things you enjoy, or might enjoy. Start from there. And don't put too much pressure on yourself to figure things out quickly. Take your time, we got you. ❤️

    I have started making very short lists of things to do each day so I can tick them off and it does help.

    I am going to ask if there are any activities in the community centre to try and feel less lonely and give me reason to get out

    That sounds a good plan @Marydoll5 usually lots of groups going on

    Morning everyone! Ooh @Sandy_123, will that be the first snow for you this winter?

    It's supposed to get down to -2 here over the week, I'm so not ready for it to be that cold 😬

    I know it's going to be cold, were bleeding radiators today as mine doesn't get hot for some reason. if the forecast stays 80% snow I'm staying home lol

    I don't mind it being cold if we actually got any snow down here. The most we get if we're lucky is some sludge. 😆 But my main concern is that everyone can stay warm. ❤️

    My grandkids are hoping for the snow, so that school would be closed, I told them I still went to school in knee deep snow lol
