Hi Angel Flower I am so pleased they have offered you help it makes such a difference when you have a supportive Health visitor.
Hello,:)
i thought i was feeling better, but yesterday some clients pulled out my Baby massage course without explaining why, I then felt so down and wanted to go to pieces but i could not because of my son needing me.
He needs me but all i am good for is not very much,
I trying I am really trying to believe that i will feel better and be posative all your threads help so very much.
people are now helping and homestart are supporting me too now but I fell like a faker and that I am taking up their time.
I am not sure why but i still fell very delicate and sensative .
Sorry i am unable to spell well

Hello Angelflower,
So glad you posted here instead of keeping it to yourself, well done. It can be depressing when clients cancel at short notice when you are feeling well, so it must feel overwhelming when you are not 100%. Why are we so quick to take things personally where our business is involved?!
I know this sounds easier said than done Angelflower, but try to take each day at a time, in fact each hour at a time. Focus on all the positive things that have happened/are happening and just put the other thoughts and worries in a 'box' and put the box outside of you. You know they are there but you are not giving them any energy. Eventually you will realise you have forgotten about that 'box'.
Hope this helps in some way. Remember to pamper yourself every day (could be just giving yourself an hour to read a book or soak in the bath etc).
Take care
Love and light

Hi Angel flower
Reiki angel is so right in what she says. When you have been depressed it is like any other illness and you need time to recover like if you had the flu. So when you have days when you dont feel too good or you get a little know back they are harder to take than normal. Just think when you have had the flu it takes time to get up to full fitness again.
The dummies range of books do a book called CBT for dummies I think it could help you as it gives examples of how our thinking can upset us and ways of turning the negative into more realistic terms. You can get the book on Amazon or Smith will order it for you.
It does sound as if you are doing really well and just had a little slip I refer to this as a "bad hair day"
Sending some reiki to you xx
Hi Angelflower
I must admit. I felt like you. I would feel better one day and think. Yes I am coming out the depression. Then wham bam next minute I was on a major low. I think you will find that you will be like this. It will take time. When you have the bad days. Like, Reikiangel says take those days a hour at a time. That is how I use to cope.
I would also try and go out for walks when I felt down. That would help as well. It is quite normal to feel delicate and sensitive. Please dont feel like you are a fake. Having the depression makes you think all sorts of things. But please take all the help you are offered. You do need support now. Please accept it.
I found it was having lots of support. That really helped me. I really do not know what I would have done otherwise.
Keep in touch. Hopefully you will have a good day today.
Best wishes
