Sounds about right. Appointments are normally made centrally, and the advisor has no idea either what the claimant is there for.

Had a bad 44 hours with head messed up, teeth chattering and shivering, spent a day in bed sweating and had to change the bedding it was that wet. Doctor seemed to think that I had picked up a virus, probably because immune system broken, was really down again.
Woke up today in a better place, got a snotty snitch, but no temperature and while still not in a sunny place in my head, the constant rain has stopped and is only cloudy. Hate the mind games going on with myself in my head, not won for a while, currently in a draw.

How are you feeling now, a few days later?
I've had a great weekend but my Airbnb host just asked me to turn my podcast down, which is perfectly reasonable, except it really wasn't that loud and I can hear his TV from upstairs! I recognise how pathetic this particular gripe is, and I simply turned it off and apologised. But my god, it's amazing how quickly a tiny thing can get on your wick. Spent the last half an hour wondering what other things he's secretly wishing I'd do differently in the house, which is ridiculous as he has stated several times that I'm a great guest.
How’s everyone doing? All good here, enjoying my newspaper in the sunshine, albeit at 5°C!

Bit better now, depression tablets are helping and managed to shake off virus, still got a hacking cough and bringing up dark yellow green gunk from lungs.
Tend to wear Bluetooth headset, so I don't disturb neighbours especially like now watching the Lads on TV. Mind have to bite my tongue to stop screaming out Ha-Way the Lads, my parrot Merlin is still shouting 1.0

First time since October that I’ve shown my face in my local pub since my life took a personal downturn.
Mixed feelings about it all to say the least.

Currently wondering what the fcuk am I doing still here. For every positive there is a negative and for every negative there is another negative. Some days I find it almost impossible to get out of bed and other days I can't get out at all.

You need some meaning in your life. A life without meaning is a pointless one.
Set a goal. And maybe think about moving house. New surroundings definitely helps.

It was half term a couple of weeks back so the bairn was off. We took my Dad to the Leonardo exhibition one day as he's fascinated by his drawings. Took him to Life another day as he loves astronomy and wanted to see the moon exhibition. He was grinning his head off both times and thoroughly enjoyed himself. Couple of days later he took bad and he's been in hospital since. Went in Sat night after the match as he wanted a report and again on Sunday night and he seemed a bit better.
He's taken a turn for the worse today and he looked awful when I went in this afternoon. His breathing was really poor and he was in a lot of pain and agitated. They've done some tests this evening and he's got pneumonia. The next 24 hours are critical and they've put a DNR on him. Mam is staying with him in the hospital.
I love him so much. He's like my mate as well as my Dad. If everyone can pray, send good vibes or whatever I'd appreciate it as I want him to get well.
Sorry to hear about your poor dad. I hope he pulls through; it's a shit time while you wait, though.Not good

In a really dark place just now, really really dark. Been a while since been this bad but hey these are the joys of bipolar 2. So many great things in my life and i want to enjoy them and yet Im utterly desperate to just get through today, then hopefully tomorrow and so we go on. At some point I will cycle and then the shit will really hit the fan, I honestly don't know which is worse sometimes, the lows are f***ing horrific but the bigger the high the worse the aftermath when it comes and it will come. Docs in the morning, shit is getting real just now.

I didn't realize how many posters on here suffered from depression. Please, if you haven't already, get professional help. Depression is an ugly disease that most people ignore or think they can get over, unfortunately it's not that simple. Depression is a prison of the mind and you can't just "get over it" (not that anyone has said that on here, by the way).
I really wish I could offer more advise/help to all of you. I am sorry that I can't. I have a very close cousin of mine that suffers from it so I know how debilitating the disease can be. I wish you all luck and you are all on in my prayers.

Sorry to hear that. It's awful.
My dad has been in hospital for a couple of weeks. He thinks he is on an rig off Aberdeen. In his mind, he is working offshore back in the 80s. Must confuse him to bits seeing a tattooed 40 something skinhead turn up calling him dad.
It's shit, but you keep digging in and fighting.
Two years ago I was a complete shambling wreck due to depression. I did get professional help for it. However, I would like @Ginger John and @Flared Hicks to know that I am forever in their debt as the kindness they showed to me was just different class. Two people I really admire.

I am glad you are doing better. @Flared Hicks is a gentleman and a scholar and one of my favorite posters on here (by the way, where is the fucker, haven't seen around here in a spell?!?). @Ginger John I don't know well, but seems like a very nice poster so I am not surprised by your comments regarding both of them. I know it's battle for life, and I wish you all the luck in the world, my friend.
How do you tend to manage your bipolar disorder, mate? I only have secondary experience through a former flatmate, but he tried to go it alone for years without any counselling or medication. He now claims that this was a foolish thing to do and can't speak highly enough of CBT: but this isn't the solution for everyone.

So many troubled souls on here, wow!
No matter how low you feel people will care about you, even a bunch of nutters on a message board!

Whether you're a fruitcake or a loony outside the Depression thread (and let's face it, we're all at least one of those some of the time), everyone is welcome to share and help in here. We're a decent set of nutters, really.
