Re: Back to Uk for 10 days
Being in Canada had changed me so much ( i brought the Duvet back with me).....It was so hard stepping back into my old shoes again.......
I've been back 16 mths now and still struggling abit with my confidence .

Re: Back to Uk for 10 days
forgot to add - Hubby seems ok with coming back - but not the chavs!! He has a phone interview for a job in bucks on tuesday morning - so maybe some light . . . . I have been useless all week - my friends are really worried bout me - dont want to gp back on meds - had been on prozac b4 for bulimia - until am back in Uk with my old Dr - oh I dunno!!
middle of your treatment here,the team usually communicates with your GP in UK for updates and arranges the continuation of treatment with your UK GP

Just a thought and take care.

Feel so bad that you're going through this - I can't imagine you being down, you are normally the life and soul.
Most on here would say 'leave it a while to settle in blah blah blah" but I think you know in your heart where you want to be.
So the exciting part now happens - you can start planning your new life back home. And when you get there you can use the experience in Canada to make the rest of your life perfect - best of luck babes xxxxx

As part of the terrible trio, I cannot imagine you being down, you have gone backwards and forwards with these feelings, I remember back at Christmas that you weren't happy.
You have to be happy here as well, if this does not do it for you, then you need to go back, please just be careful and make sure that this is truly what you want....
We can't have you ping ponging!
Love and best wishes hun.

Wish us three (Bells, MMC could have another get together)

Re: Back to Uk for 10 days
I see you as a bright person with a kind heart who deserves wellness and happiness.
The reason I recommend the ED program because they work with the whole family and not put 1 person on the spot light.
Take care.

Re: Back to Uk for 10 days
Hi Carrie - Sorry you're not feeling well. But I'm wondering if it's your depression that's making you feel bad about Vancouver, or if it's Vancouver that's making you depressed?
I think you need to get some meds for your depression to help you work that one out. But I know they take a few weeks to work.
If your family are supportive and it is possible - could you not go over to the UK to stay with them until the meds start working?
I've been reading your blog and it seemed like you had plenty of reasons to want to leave the UK. And you've only been in Vancouver for a year, which is not long to get settled in.
Maybe, it would be better to make a decision once your health starts improving. Otherwise, you could move yourself back to the UK and find yourself regretting it in a few months time.
Hope you get well soon. And don't forget, you need to take anti-depressants for at least six months after you're back to your normal self. I made the mistake of not doing that and I gradually slipped downhill again.
Take Care.

Re: Back to Uk for 10 days
I do remember reading something about Vancouver being the most depressing place in the world to live.....so maybe also a change will do you the world of good.
Has hubby decided if he wants to go back?
Lets face it- my hubby too has doubts about going back, but in the end they all come around to our way of thinking!
Keep yer pecker up gal...

Re: Back to Uk for 10 days
HI Claire- my recent visit to the Uk showed me it wasnt as bad as I thought - cant go back at mo as that leaves hubby 2 kids and 2 dogs - he is only just holding it together- I know now that i need my family and friends - simple as that -I cant function without them . .
I just PM'd you,the SPH ED program staff is happy to speak with you .
She is also a Brit who came here in her teens.She has given me
her direct line for you to contact her.
