You can't do this alone, babe.<BR/><BR/>As far as mental health goes, you have an illness - like me: I have depression/anxiety - and you need help with it. Don't struggle on alone. <BR/><BR/>But don't beat yourself up either.

May sound glib to you Gleds if so I apologies now but this comes from my own experience,that at times when we feel we are freefalling into crisis we still have control,things we know help us,calm us if even for a little while, dont push yourself too hard and dont be emotionally hard on yourself, rest and think about the rabbit thats worth grabbing and see what it has to tell you...Your stronger than you think and wise..........and no matter how overpowering feelings can be they can change..worth remembering. Find some positives links to your life and enjoy.e.g Your furry little robo's, your blog and all the people on it willing to come time and time again to be with you because your someone special and have taught us so much ( speaking for myself here ) xx AudsAudreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14719984917185676736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8092261346236962635.post-39198542768142460622008-06-14T11:02:00.000+01:002008-06-14T11:02:00.000+01:00Gled, isn't there any chance you could go into som...Gled, isn't there any chance you could go into some rehab, so you don't have to deal with this all by yourself hon?Trixiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18444757419149336359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8092261346236962635.post-13572516589119700692008-06-14T02:27:00.000+01:002008-06-14T02:27:00.000+01:00things hapen by degrees, when you think...how did ...things hapen by degrees, when you think...how did it get this bad? it didn;t happen overnight, and getting better will happen by degrees too. little steps, somethimes 2 steps forward and 1 step back when there are strong winds pushing against you.

Does the health system provide these services? It's so hard trying to do things on your own. You mention your 'case worker' quite a lot,can she/he help? Taking the first step is the toughest but if you have someone to hold your hand it might just work.Bainohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14156193098088048637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8092261346236962635.post-48436208402237885702008-06-13T19:26:00.000+01:002008-06-13T19:26:00.000+01:00`hello, gled, i`m so happy that you have return to...`hello, gled, i`m so happy that you have return to my blog!!!<BR/>i`haven`t got much time lately, so i`m sorry too if i missed some of your posts...<BR/>well, what`s happening in portugal is that our team is doing a great job in the switzerland Euro2008, and we are simply histerical around here.<BR/>our team is passed to 4er finals of the tournament, and the portuguese who live there in switzerland are going crazy and follow the team bus where ever they go, it`s pure madness!!!!<BR/>the rest of the teams i havenĀ“t payed too much attention, except Greece, because they won the Euro2004 here in portugal against us, so i`m anxious for them to fall!!! hihihihihi so that`s it!!! the Euro fever in portugal!!!sofiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02326161722551345743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8092261346236962635.post-84321908036621698532008-06-13T19:11:00.000+01:002008-06-13T19:11:00.000+01:00its so sad reading your posts... you wont know th...its so sad reading your posts... you wont know this but it reminds me of how my husband used to be while addicted to alcohol... you wont know this either but he died.. almost a year ago....

If you take away the drugs and drink you are left with guilt and regret. It takes a fine balance to be able to coordinate your recovery, otherwise, it spirals into a vicious cycle. The infuriating part of it is that the support system that should be in place to help you get through is full of holes. <BR/><BR/>I have been through a pretty horrific episode with depression that lasted about a year. I had extreme anxiety attacks to the point where I honestly thought I was having a heart attack. I couldn't be out in public and was self destructive. There was one moment that I can recall sitting in my mom's backyard when a rain storm came through. My mom called me in and I choose to sit there, in the rain amongst the elements. It was at that point that I decided that I loved life and wanted to be a part of it. For me to do so I would have to go back to places that were pretty awful and address those experiences head on. I took myself off of meds because I needed to feel it all. I am not saying that is what you should do...but you need to find your reason to make yourself better.<BR/><BR/>Again, you seem to have many people here that do care and wish you the best. There is a reason for that, people don't get involved unless it is worth it.<BR/><BR/>I hope that you are able to overcome this Gled.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8092261346236962635.post-67728893436145394352008-06-13T17:24:00.000+01:002008-06-13T17:24:00.000+01:00The hammies are fine at least!
