They actually asked me about any long term health problems and I had to fill out a questionnaire about my health. Last time I had a job I didn't mention it until I got the job and I was told that if I had said i had depression at the interview they wouldn't have employed me. I try not to tell people, but if they ask I tell them. I've got asthma as well, but that doesn't seem to be a problem for people!

Hi I've been on medication for my depression for about 10 years now, for all the good they do. My shrink is putting me on lithium soon as well as my anti depressants, so maybe it's a good thing I'm not working. This is the only interview I've had and they didn't ask on the form about my qualifications, but they did in the interview. They also asked about my depression and the various other problems I have. I'm looking into doing data entry from home so keep your fingers crossed! I'll let you know what happens.

Hi Just found out today I didn't get a job I had an interview for last week and I'm feeling really down. It was just to stack shelves at a supermarket, but that's about all the stress I can handle and I really need the money as I don't qualify for any benefits. I've 2 university degrees and I can't get a job stacking shelves! I feel so useless, I hate living off my husband and I hate myself for not being able to cope with normal life. I now remember why we don't keep sharp knives or razors in the house as I've got a real urge to cut myself and I've not done that in over a year.](*,) "And I don't want the world to see me Cause I don't think that they'd understand When every thing's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am" Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls

Thanks guys. I know this is a last resort, but after 10 years I'm about ready to try anything!! "And I don't want the world to see me Cause I don't think that they'd understand When every thing's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am" Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls

Hi My shrink is going to put me on lithium with my anti depressant as I have treatment resistant depression. Is anyone else taking it? Have they had any bad side effects? Just looking for as much info as possible.

i don't think that she means to hurt you. I self harm and although I tell my husband it's about him, it's not. I do it because I hate me, it's just not that easy to tell people that. However I used to hide it from him until he noticed, which he always did and then I would blame him. I've managed to stop now because of him. I saw how much it hurt him and it doesn't matter how much i hate myself I can't hurt him like that. It sounds like she's manipulating you.

hi don't worry about talking in your sleep. I jumped out of bed one night screaming about spiders in the bed! Of course I was dreaming, but I woke up my other half who the could not get back to sleep!

hi I've got some scars on my leg from surgery (as well as ones on my hands from cutting) and I've found this stuff called Bio-oil ( at least that's what it's called in the uk) and it's really good.

Hi I've got 5 tattoos, saving up for number 6. The tattoo artist has shaved me occasionally, but it didn't make the hair grow back any thicker. My bloke puts cling film on after they're done which seems to work and then I use mild soap and water and e-45 cream. I have heard of people using hemorrhoid cream, don't know if it works but i've heard some people swear by it!

Hi I know it's difficult but sometimes you have to let people really hit rock bottom before they can even start to deal with things. My husband has been with me almost nine years and it's taken me almost ten years to accept that I'm not like everyone else. I always thought that I could do everything normal people do I just had to work harder and after ten years of treatment, two university degrees given on medical grounds I've finally realized that I can't do what other people do. My husband has always got the brunt of what ever was going on and I still don't know why he's with me because I'm a compleat cow to live with. The only thing I would say is that if you feel like you're being pulled down again you may need to step away. I've pulled the blackmail trick before but my husband isn't in the same situation. Hope things improve Lou

Hi Emily I know exactly how you feel and I know how hard it is to try and keep a grip. I've had major problems with my mam in the past and problems with my husbands family. They make me feel inadequate and worthless, as if I should snap out of my depression. They can't be as hard on me as I am on myself though. I haven't cut myself in a long time, but my depression is getting worse, I have suicidal thoughts every day and I often sit with a knife in my hand fighting the urge to cut myself. Hang in there. Lou
