Let me try this again!!! One tag too many and they wipe your post, or so the reply said.
Hi everyone, my name is wood. I have just started a new group and am looking for new members. The group is called" 18th Century Historical Trekking & Camping". If you think you might be interested, check it out.
I am not sure what I expect to get out of this forum, but we have to try right? I have been suffering, if that is the correct term(?), from depression for a number of years ever since I lost some close and dear friends. Since then I think loneliness and a lack of anyone to share my interests with has kept this depression going.
So here I am. Would like to hear from someone on this forum, regardless of what you have to say.
Anyone interested in 18th century Living History?
Regards, Wood.

Hello woods. I introduced myself in another of your posts.
Just wanted to ackowledge your post and say hi.

I am suffering at the moment.
I am on anti depressants.
They don't help much except they make me sleep better lately since my dose has increased. I am so greatful for that.
I would sleep all day if i could.
But i have children and i put on a brave face for them and pretend everything is fine, i go in my room and cry then suck it up and go out and be mummy again.
When they are asleep at night my tears and sadness pours out of me with such force that i struggle to breathe through them.
The only other time i have felt this bad is when i lost my precious baby boy to sids in 2000

Sentinent, it is just as well you are not here, I would want to wrap you up in cotton wool and give you a long hug! I wish I could think of something to say, but I am not a psychologist. SLEEP! I have sleep apnea would you believe, as if depression and dementia are not enough! I have to lie down at lunch time usually and sleep half my days away!
I went to a psychologist, several in fact, but can't say they helped. But I think they may be able to help some people. The trouble is that I know what the problem is, and when push comes to shove I know that I am the only one that can fix it. It is in my head, so I have to make it work. As I said in the other thread, I am not waiting around for something to happen, I am getting out there and making it happen.
Easier said than done? Possibly, but sitting around waiting will get me, us, no where.
Look inside yourself Sentinent, think about things you would like to do and make them happen.
With best wishes and warm regards, Woods.
