(Sorry for the woe is me post, just feeling a bit down by it all at the minute)
Yes they are very crafty. It's like all the videos and songs and games I've paid for. It won't let you transfer them. I was just so fed up of my phone going completely dead every time it was cold so in winter is a nightmare so I switched to a Huawei.Yes, unfortunately Apple make it extremely difficult to transfer any files from their products, mmm.... wonder why?
That is just awful @Claire W you'd think they would be more understanding!When your husband and his family suddenly start having a go at you to find a job even though you have been dismissed from your old job of 12 years due to ongoing ill health and been signed off work for the foreseeable future
Mental health is difficult to deal with for everybody concerned. My late Mum had bipolar so I know how hard mental illness is to live with. I have always said if you had your arm or leg broken everyone would be far more sympathetic. Your mind is broken and because of that nobody understands cos they can't physically see it. Depression is the wrong word to use. My OH just thought that depression meant you were sad and could snap out of it until he saw how bad my Mum was. Now he is far more understanding.Thank you, I wouldn’t mind so much but my sister in law only works 10 hours a week, her partner full time but they’re claiming all sorts of benefits including disability for my nieces mild disability and nothing is said but I’m being frowned upon by them all because I’m having to claim ESA and PIP to keep me afloat. I’m only on the minimum rate. I’ve been in and out of hospital for the last 8 years with my mental health trying to hold down my job finally getting a proper diagnosis in March 2017 so it isn’t like it’s a recent thing
I was looking forward to my husband finishing work tomorrow for two weeks but now I’m dreading it and I’m definitely dreading having to spend 5 days with them all over New Year
I have a friend whoes mum has bipolar. When I was working, I worked nightshifts as I was practically on my own and they put other reasonable adjustments in place for me. I can’t see a new employer doing that
My sister has borderline personality disorder. I need to read up on it more. Sadly mental health problems run in my family.I’m sorry to hear that
I was originally diagnosed with psychotic depression and anxiety in 2011 but was finally diagnosed with borderline personality disorder where some of the symptoms are depression and anxiety in March 2017. I usually keep it a secret in real life as I don’t like the labels. I admit that I’m not easy to live with and he puts up with a lot but to gang up on me along with his family to get a job is really wearing me down. In the space of 8 years I apparently had nearly 4 years off in absences which is why they dismissed me in April this year but before they did that, I had to have a second assessment with Occupational health who declared me unfit for work as well as my psychiatrist and my GP who I’m currently seeing at least every 8 weeks. I would love to be still working and earning my own money. It’s not fun being a prisoner inside my own house. I only go out with him or my parents so I don’t know how his family expect me to just get a job
If I lived nearer @Claire W I'd come over to give you a great big cuddlecos you sound like you need one!
So you'll just have to make do with a few virtual ones!
I’m sorry about your breakdown. I’ve had several over the last 8 years resulting in hospital admission and they truly are horrible x
That's appalling! It's at times like this you need friends.
She does work, I'm not sure quite what she does but I know she works in an office.The only things I've noticed with her is if I send her a text and I use text slang like lol or any slang like wanna etc she won't message me back. I don't know if that has anything to do with bpd or if thats just her being a bit funny x
The problem with depression is nobody understands it who hasn't experienced it or who has a family member with it. I think it scares most people. They hear the words "mental illness" or "psychotic episode" and immediately assume you are an axe wielding muderer which couldn't be further than the truth!ive got mental illness,I'm appalled at the way some persons treat me.when your in the mist of depression you dont want to talk to anyone.i have support now,5 years later ! brother commited suicide last year...37 years of age.i just hope i can give something back to help others.Claire hold your head high,people that are nasty are a waste of space !more awareness needs to be devoloped

People can be so horrible. I’m glad you’ve finally got support. I’ve just done an 18 month course of dbt but now it’s ended, I’m struggling without the support as we had a small group therapy and then a one to one therapy session with our therapist. I’m so sorry about your brother my brothers best friend had bipolar and he commited suicide a few years ago. Thank you and you’re right, there needs to be more awareness and less stigma x
