feralwoman I'm on Zoloft too - it's the only medication that worked for me as I had awful side effects from the many I was put on. It's also important that you can notice the warning signs of another bout starting and sort of get mentally prepared for a bit of a...

feralwoman Hi there sparkster - that sounds all too familiar to me. I still have self-esteem issues but i'm better than I was. It was lucky that your family and friends noticed something was amiss and urged you to go to the doctor. Sometimes, people are too wrapped up in...

feralwoman Hi there artistmel2000! I have seen the before and after effects of people who have had ECT, it's not pleasant but it certainly does seem to make them calmer. I was in hospital with some really severe cases - mostly violent ones who had the ECT. I do hope your...

feralwoman I wish I could do that ayrin - clean everything! Unfortunately cleaning is not an enjoyable thing for me as it reminds me of my mother who was always in a bad mood when she was cleaning. Thanks for your response ;)

feralwoman Hi there - yes kids can be very cruel i've found. I too had a terrible time at school from a group of girls in the year above me. After i'd left school I saw one of them at party and I asked her why she'd bullied me so much at school. I was amazed and...

feralwoman Hi Pixelpixie - I hope it's not The End! I too have had severe depression since I was a child - but depression was unheard of as an illness then. I see a Psychiatrist once a month and I find that really helps me. Thank goodness you didn't end up in hospital,...

feralwoman Hi honeydew - I still find it hard to get out of bed these days! It's good that you try and look on the bright side of things when you feel down. Your doctor made a very good point - not to be so hard on yourself. I think all of us who are suffering from...

I have two diamond doves, a male and a female. Today the female dove died. The male looked lost and lonely in his enclosure. I really felt sorry for him. I went inside and had a cup of tea and watched him outside of my kitchen...
