Little steps chic... Little steps :D xx

Yea its grand.. I think I've got my head around how it works.. Only doing the Extra Easy plan for now.. When I get into it and have more understanding of it I may attempt the other plans.. But for now am sticking with EE.. They recommend to stick with EE for the first 4 weeks anyway so hopefully will get some losses :)

It's a bit like simply filling is it? Do you get a certain amount of syns per day or something like that? I'm intrigued lol... x

Yea its very like Simply Filling.. You eat between 5 n 15 syns per day.. You have to have a Healthy Extra A (HEXA) and a Healthy Extra B (HEXB) every day so that for me this week has been 350ml slimline milk (to use over the course of the day) (HEXA) and 35g Porridge (HEXB) but can be anything from the list in the book.. HEXA's are dairy and HEXB's are fibre so you could wholemeal bread or weetabix or shredded wheat or certain cereal bars etc...
Then you have yer list of free foods, which is lean meats n basic store room ingredients like tea, coffee, herbs, rice, pasta, potato, eggs etc (More or less the same as the free foods on SF).. Then SuperFree Foods which is fruit (Fresh n Frozen) and most Veg (Fresh n Frozen)
 
Must look into slimming world a bit more Frances... might be a nice change!

Hiya Tracy hon, you okay? X

Had the worst day today... good god...

Oh no, what happened?

I've been dealing with a very low period of depression (lowest ever in fact) and I had to see this psychiatric nurse today for an assessment on anxiety and stress. He basically ranted at me for 3 hours (supposed to be a 20 min assessment) about how he couldn't help me and I would have to sort out my depression and negative thinking by myself and learn to just control my thoughts... and how everyone in my life would get fed up with me and I'd end up alone with no job. Said I was 10 a penny to people he sees everyday. That I should give up my job so someone else can have it if I'm so sick. Said everyone is having a rough time and life is hard and shitty.
He didn't even believe I was badly depressed simply because I was wearing clothes to see him (rather then pyjamas). He said I looked well presented and looked ok to him (I can tell you I do NOT look well presented, I haven't even showered in 3 days - I'm gross I know...) He really did my head in and I ended up in a right state and have been since. He doesn't even know me or my situation like... he just made an assumption as soon as I walked in. I feel very let down by the system...
 
Oh my God Sarah. That's awful. He sounds like a total dick!
You shud report him! I know it won't make u feel better but he shudnt be able to speak people like that! Sounds like he was having a bad day and took it out on you.
I'm sorry he judged you and anyone who knows you knows you need something other than a lecture!
Hugs!

Sarah that's awful. Completely un professional and he should be struck off. I know better than anyone that depression is a deep dark confusing lonely place. Can you go back to your doctor and tell him how badly you were treated? I can't even begin to imagine how that's done the opposite of what it was supposed to do. I'm actually totally shocked. What have your parents said about it.
I don't know what else to say, has anything in particular triggered you in feeling bad again? I know there doesn't have to be a 'trigger' that's one of the awful things about depression, it just comes. Are you getting out and about atall? I know that's easier said than done but staying cooped up indoors won't help.
He sounds like a moron who needs locking up. None of what he said was true and don't even start to think it is.

I'm sure there is on here and the website, your best off going to one meeting or join online ? And we can always help
 
Ladies, I dunno why he felt the need to attack me (and everything I said I was feeling). To me it sounded like he was accusing me of choosing to feel so bad about myself and life in general. He seemed to be using a tough love approach. 3 hours of hell!! I will defo be telling the psychiatrist in charge about what went on and what was said when i see him next.
He seemed to take high offence to the fact I said sosad (an Irish charity) has helped me more than the HSE so far. He said all they do is put an arm around you and send you to counselling where someone will offer an ear and sympathy. He shut up fairly quickly when he realised the "free counsellor" they sent me to was a qualified psychologist.
All the HSE has done is let me down. So frustrated.

Truth is girl's I had a scary suicide attempt in December and I am struggling at the mo to stop those thoughts. All that's been done is I've been given new meds and told that psychology is an 18 month waiting list and CBT is a 2yr waiting list (and they haven't put me on either list). They recommended a SELF HELP book to me and sent me on my way. That is this country for you. They gave me nowhere to turn.
 
Oh for Gods sake Sarah! A self help book! I'm ashamed of this country right now!
We all knew the HSE is ***** but the fact that u got an appt with someone was great and I'm sure they're over stretched aswel but that's no way to treat the people who need his help!! I'm so cross! I'm glad you're gona report him!
I'm so sorry you were so low in December. I hope you feel any bit better than that and if there's anything we can do u just say. Even if it's just to vent. Just don't bottle it up.
I'm
Glad that organisation helped you (never heard of them though). Can u go back to them?

Basically I sat on a drip in hospital overnight on a trolley and when I was sitting for 12 hours the next day waiting to speak to a psychiatrist. I was told I wasn't a priority case and probably wouldn't be seen. I had to present myself at a mental health hospital just to be seen. Doctor there was nice and gave me a new prescription (and she told me to go to sosad because they would help me). Imagine the mental health services sending you to a charity because they can't do anything themselves? Something very wrong there.
Yes sosad have sent me to this psychologist for free... and she will see me for the moment.

I am a little better although I was walking the railway tracks a few days ago in a right state. I am safe though. It's all about trying to stay safe until I feel better. X
 
Sarah I really wish I could help you. I can't believe that the professionals are doing **** all. Can we do anything. We're all here to help as best we can. I wanna bring you here, look after you and make you happy again.

I can't believe it either really. I feel like I'm being shoved from one person to another and they all tell me different contradicting things. Very confusing. I felt somewhat ok today until this guy.
Thanks for the support hon. I am trying but struggling a bit.
