dear All, this is a rather distressing post, because there are a few issues that are affecting you all, and don't worry I had them too.
With sleeping you need something like music to distract yourself from 'thinking a million miles an hour', because you're lying in bed, we all think about our negative thoughts, so try a radio station that you like and listen only to the songs, not about anything else, you may cry but what's wrong with doing that.
People sitting on the train/tram who all look as though they have no problems, don't worry a large amount of the are putting on a brave face, probably only hoping that they could make friends with someone and tell them exactly how they feel, but they are too scared to even raise the discussion.
With a boss who understands how you are feeling only because they have been through it themselves is a bonus, rather than a parent who works in the mental industry who doesn't, and I would expect this to be so, because she/he has to work with people who are mentally disturbed and definitely has no patience with them, so this feeling would continue when they leave work, in other words they can't understand what depression can do to people. Geoff.
