MMF, to me London seems like Paradise, but I understand that any place can be lonely. I'm having to learn how to live alone myself right now. You can't believe all the mind games I play trying to convince myself that I'm happy being alone.
Anyway, I was serious about being a willing ear. I know we aren't as well acquainted as you are with your UK friends, but I think I understand a bit how you're feeling.

Hypatia,
Thanks for that, because you are ahead of the game where I am coming from...
I've suffered before, but not like this!
It must be an age thing! But I cannot work out the cause!
I hope it all works out for you, and I appreciate your concerns, as with everyone's, and hope the resolves it, but not with or drugs!
Been there, done that, and I'd rather resolve it myself

Good for you. I think doctors treat situational depressions like clinical depressions. To me they are different animals, but doctors want to treat every depression the same way, with therapy and drugs. I hate taking medications. I'm a bit stubborn in that department. Doctors seem to think that there is a pill for everything. Pah.
Hootoo is much too public to discuss my coping processes, but I will say that to an extent I think they are working. I'm still learning, still struggling, but making progress, I think. It's interesting that you mentioned the age connection because I am positive that is part of my problem.
Best of luck with all this. I am glad you are trying to find a solution within yourself, because ultimately it all comes down to that in the end anyway.

[And thanks for the vote of confidence!]
I have confidence in all my friends, NOT ONE OF MY FRIENDS IS A LOSER, ONLY WINNERS!!
[The problem is believing in it.]
you believe in me as a friend, SO believe in yourself as a friend, why do you think I joke about being schizophrenic, I keep myself company when alone and I'm always there to back myself up..

Some body once told me:
Believe what ever you want to believe, trust what ever you want to trust, love whom so ever you want to love, but never stop believing yourself, trusting yourself, or loving yourself. You are a human being, you have a right to be here.
I too live alone in a flat, but I fill time with doing things. I am alway busy. Washing, cooking, cleaning, ironing, shopping, popping out for a p[int, driving to the petrol station. Writing letters. Decorating. I write and spend time studying what I've written before I send it off.
You have my best wishes and high regards. When we met in London, I found you to be a freindly communicative being.

I thank you all.
It is a tough period, and I am not enjoying it, but all of your support is helping.
I do realise that here are people who are experiencing worse things than me... A close friend's brother died last Thursday from cancer of the spine, he was eighteen, she is 23!
However, depression doesn't allow clarity.
I see the quacky on Wednesday, and hopefully progress will be made.
In the meantime I shall and work on my new unintentional UP... A25473927 - Ramsgate... It'll be a biggy!
And thanks everyone.
You are not forgotten, and I am here, just lacking in confidence at present!

I do so agree with you Hypatia,
Here they dole out pills by the ton but without giving time and listening. They never even try to find out 'why', assuming there is a reason. I am sure thousands of people are on medication who don't need to be anyone just listened.
Anyway, MMF, with tomorrow. We shall be thinking of you.
We believe in you. Now we just have to make you believe in yourself.

Don't be stiff upper lip british ,now. Tell him/her the worst that you've been feeling.You've been living with it, but they won't know how it's been unless you spell it out.( i know that seems obvious, but you'd be surprised how often we minimise our symptoms as soon as we get in front of a doc). s and s
