Chin up Cate - tis sad to read your feelings. You are not alone - everywhere around us are people with lives that are not what they thought they would be, not what was hoped for or dreamed of.
One foot in front of the other....small steps.....and then you can look back and see that you have moved forward in you journey.
Take care sweet

Hi cate,

I know what I want to say.... you are such an important and integral part of our depnet society... you are always here for us, always offering your advice and best wishes, and always in the most non judgemental way.

You are a complete lady cate, from the tip of your name to your beautiful toes. Believe this, you are a valued and most esteemed member of depnet. Please do not question yourself or your importance in this world, for you are one of the most important people here on this site.

Take care,

Karen xxx

Cateblack, you might have lost your old lifestyle but there is a new one to begin. OK you have no money, nor house but think about what you do have, which will put more of a positive spin on it. One positive thing is that I know you wont give up trying because you are a fighter my friend.

Take care
Matt xx

Sorry you are lonely and I am sorry that Gus is not cooperating with regards to having a brush. I'm with babz, pity parties are allowed, so have one. Be glad your phone ring and it is not your mother interfering in you married life!!! lol!!!

I am so glad to know you are out there.

This is my first week on depnet and I have just read through your last two diary entries. It was such a relief to read that you and so many others find baths/showers to be so difficult during dep. I can go for a week and often have to allow hours before an appointment to get myself cleaned up. Good to know I am not alone on this one.

When we don't have the energy to look after ourselves I guess it makes sense we can't look after the house or the pets. My dogs have been badly neglected for the past month. The get fed, but that is about it. Then all the guilt just makes you feel worse.

Keep up the good fight. You have made a difference to at least one persons life today!!

I have the same lack of options and I don't care for the situation at all. I don't even have work, I'm completely dependent on a pension. The challenge is to deal with what the day brings forth, tomorrow can wait until tomorrow.
