Well, time for an update, and I do apologise if this kinda goes off on a tangent or twenty, as I find it really hard to talk about my thoughts and feelings.

After moving back to my old place of work, and rejecting a nice pay rise, I went out for the leaving night out for one of the assistant managers. Got accused of something by someone who should know better, and got a bit of a beating for it. Net result is, due to a reaction to the head injuries I received, I went a bit nuts, then took an overdose, and have now been diagnosed with reactive depression.

Been prescribed some Fluoxetine tablets for the next 3 - 6 months to replace the hormone levels in my brain, and they should take about 7 - 10 days to have the full effect, and then hopefully I should be feeling more like my usual self, and be able to return to work in a couple of weeks, assuming that I want to go back there, having been let down by some people that I thought were meant to be friends as well as colleagues, and also assuming there's still a job there for me.

In the mean time, I'm glad to know that there are actually people out there who have been there for me and shown they really are friends and care for me and hope they know how eternally grateful I am to have them, and how much I love them. They really are life-savers, even if they don't believe it.

    Depression is tough to deal with. Meds can really help put things back in order. Sometimes it takes some playing around with dosages and different drugs.... be patient.

    I'm glad you survived your overdose. I (as well as others here) have gone through similar stuff. PM me if you ever need to talk. Good luck with everything.

    Thanks FG. I might take you up on that offer. It's helped that most of the folk I thought I could trust have been there for me, though one of them has been really dodgy with me for a while. It's also helped that one of those people has been there for me far more than I could ever have hoped for. She's been really immense for me.
