Really depressed
Discussion
Hi all sorry been quiet I've been trying to process a lot, just to clarify I currently rent a room from a landlady, all above board she declares it and is registered I get receipts etc, included in the price is all the bills, I have a mobile phone bill and pay money to the kids , mutual verbal agreement between us , my biggest single stress is not having enough money in 2 weeks to cover all this , certainly my ex is not going to understand plus I will owe rent etc , such a horrible situation it's like it's out of control I can't go back to old job , on a positive note had an hours cbt online counsling today which was good

A friend of mine killed himself today. No outward signs of worrying about anything. He hadn't mentioned anything to anyone. He seemed happy. And now he's gone. Please, if you are having problems or worrying about stuff just talk to someone. There's always a way to sort things out.
I'm so sorry to hear that Hi all been in bed for last 3 days , not good I know just feel like I can't cope with even the smallest thing, haven't eaten for 3 days either , feel ashamed saying that on here but I've been nothing but honest before, how do I apply for housing benefit everything seems so hard and I wanted to encourage others 
Hi guys and girls , so been 2 weeks of not leaving my room, and then Barny's food parcel lifted me up amd gave me hope and energy, today I had more cbt consoling which was helpful and helped me to carry on sorting out my housing benefit forms, sonworried I can't Afford rent but let's see what happens . Hope everyone is well rob
Oh and had a doctors appointment, been signed off for a month, on one hand makes me feel quite ashamed, however the doctor was reassuring saying these things take time , I'm used to being hard on myself, I need to stop being frustrated and wanting a quick fix and take one step at a time I guess

You're poorly. You're allowed to be poorly. You're allowed to need help, to ask for it, to receive it. You're part of a society that cares for people when they need it, safe in the knowledge that when you can, you will do your bit in whatever way is possible, whether that is something that will happen very soon or a bit later. In 6 months time I expect that if someone you can reach is having as bad of a day as your worst days have been, you'll do what you can to help them out. Even not working you're still paying tax as you use what you have, nobody's ever a one-way street in terms of 'contribution' even if sometimes the flow reduces or changes direction for a bit.
Thank you so much 
Good to hear that you have the HB sorted.Baldinho said:
Hi Rob, you work for a big company and they should have a proper HR team to be able to deal with all of the stuff in the background as you get back on your feet. You're doing the right thing in forwarding the GP notes as that's all they need for now.
Key is to give yourself time and space to recover and don't be hard on yourself/feel guilty in the meantime. Eat and sleep well if you can. Might be worth setting up a regular supermarket home delivery order so you have food in the fridge that's easy to prepare - healthy ready meals/soups that can be stuck in the oven/microwave would be great.
Getting out and about even for a little bit will help - a stroll to a cafe for a coffee/sandwich and read of the paper
Let me know if you fancy another blast through the Hindhead tunnel. I'm at home Weds/Thursday afternoon if you need anything.
You're doing great so far
Thanks so much and was nice to meet you the other week, your car looked and sounded amazing, maybe I'll grab a ride one day? Most days it's a struggle to post on here , all those thoughts of why should I bother , no one wants to know and then Barny, yourself and others post things that keep me afloat,wish I could pay you back Key is to give yourself time and space to recover and don't be hard on yourself/feel guilty in the meantime.

Fuse tripping is a perfect way to discribe it , guess I feel useless because even the simplest of tasks is beyond me , it was so nice of you to meet up with us the other day , I'll never forget the journey on the motorway, your smile when we drove past said it all! Would definitely be up for another drive , via the kebab shop of course !
