Think i may be depressed? :/

[Estellaa]

Hi, so haven't posted in a while, should probably of done it though.
recently moved to norwich on 16th nov.
Since then, well everything is just horrible.
I've made no friends apart from the ones at work who don't go out with people from work.. work is awful cause the hours are rubbish so i'm getting hardly any money.
My family who i moved down here to be near to don't seem to take notice.
my parents have a better social life than me while they are out i'm stuck at home babysitting.
my fiance, well he is stuck in tamworth, he starts a new job at the end of feb then he'll be earning money which i suppose is a good thing cause then we can start saving for our own place.
but in my head i thought it would be easier for him to move in with me and my parents at least that way we could both be earning and not having to spend money on seeing each other, but my parents have said no due to the fact they don't really like him and apparently there is no room?
i'm so fed up, every night i sit in my room on my own, i cry myself to sleep i don't know what to do. i would probably say that i've let my diabetes sleep cause i just don't care :/ just realised i think i have gum disease which is greattt any cures guys?
i just don't know what to do anymore, i try to speak to my other half hes just like it'll be okay yada yada not bloody help right now when i feel like this.
Help

I've battled depression most if my life and I know just how dark it can get when you feel you're on your own and unsupported. At my surgery, there is a listener, not a counsellor, but a listener that I can go to and unburden myself. It helps me depressurise and works better for me than happy pills. Perhaps there's a similar service you could use near you. I know it's not ideal but it could help, at least in the short term, if you had someone to rant at.

As a first step, I suggest a chat with your doctor. He or she may know of resources you could use to get some support until you and your man can sort yourselves out. Don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it.

And go to the dentist, if you have got gum disease (bleeding gums?) then you have to clean your toothymegs REALLY well (if it doesn't take a whole 2 minutes at least, then you haven't cleaned em!) and floss. I find Dental TAPE much kinder to my gums than floss.

It will actually make you feel better about you, if you just 'take a little bit of care' of yourself.

Honest.

Hi, sorry you are depressed, I have suffered from it for years. Go and see your GP, maybe you could have some councelling, I wish if had been offered to me instead of taking pills.

I the regime of being diabetic doesnt help does it. All the testing etc., gets us all down at times. Also being a bit out of control is depressing, I am like that at the moment, having had a stressfull year its sent my sugar levels out of control. I am doing so many tests at the moment, I wish they would bring out a continuous blood sugar meter.

Have you tried Corsodyl for your gums,there are 2 types, one is a general mouth wash and the other one is for gum desease. It really works.

Hope you soon feel better.

Sorry you feel so alone - there are 2 local groups close to Norwich - one for North Norfolk and the other based on Great Yarmouth. In my experience locel secretaries are a mine of information and are only too willing to chat and help. Check out the Diabetes uk web site

Hi Estellaa

I'm sorry you are feeling so down. I've been to see my doc this morning for the same thing. Months of trying to pick myself up and kick myself up my own backside, but end up back down again. I've been prescribed some tablets, simply because I have had them before and they worked then.

Please find someone to talk to, go see your doctor, or preferably both. You can get through it, I know I will. Just need some extra help at the moment....

Hi there, I have felt like that, I was put on anti depressants and had councelling but my GP then decided it was more anxiety.. I was only meant to be on them for 6 months.. and im still here a year and a half later.. going to come off them in June.. so slightly nervous.. I live an hour away from norwich 🙂 Always here for a chat 🙂 Feel free to message me. Hope your feeling better xx
