I wish I knew what was happening.

I feel fine, in fact I feel like I'm back to my old self again.

The trouble is, is that I feel as though I have been out of it for some time. I know I've been hanging around here, but I know that I've not been my usual self.

I don't know how long this has been going on for or how it started.

All I know is, is that today I seem to have snapped out of it.

Apart from feeling a bit sick and dizzy I couldn't be better.

I don't even know how to explain myself.

Can anyone shed any light on this for me?

I don't know what this is but I'm glad you are feeling better, Babybird.

Thanks,

I am feeling better, but it's as though I've been asleep for a few weeks.

I know that I have been functioning, but I feel like I've been sleep functioning.

I can remember stuff but everything seems like it's in a dream.

It is really bizarre.

Maybe I'm a bit puddled.

Congrats! I know how good it can feel when the process of coming out of a funk begins.

I'm trying.

I have been getting myself into a bit of a flap lately, and I've been spitting a few feathers too.

Is it possible that you have had a period of depression?

Glad you are feeling better, let us know how you are doing.

Maybe, but I hate admitting to it, because I can't afford to be depressed.

I heard someone on the telly the other day saying that depression is a luxury. I know exactly what he meant.

I just feel that I have to fight through it all, because I've got no one to rely on in times of need.

I'm sad to hear that you don't have someone to rely on ..you seem like a very nice person..
and i truly hope that somewhere you find that too...

Been there. I'm glad you are starting to feel better, but just wanted to say that there are plenty of people here who are ready and willing to listen, the next time you find yourself in a time of need. I know it's not the same as in-person support, but it's at least something.

Thanks. The trouble with me is that I just keep going and going until I break down. I don't even notice it until it's right on top of me. Plus I always feel as though I'm burdening people, because everyone has their own s**t to deal with.

I do feel a lot better now though. I think some of it was trouble at work, but luckily my manager noticed me withdrawing and has put me in a new team with a really attentive team leader. My work has improved 100% now, and I am a lot happier.

I was very close to the edge at the beginning of this week, but as the week has gone on I have got a lot better.

Thanks to everyone for all you help anyway.
