feelbad

Sorry slightly tiddled

See you all tomorrow what ever that will bring

Hi everybody went to ga meeting .I am now convinced I suffer from AD,WHUCH I THINK caused the boredom that has led to past gambling? Anybody think the same way?

Hi favdoc

Just wanted to say, it's great that you've joined the forum, but worrying that you have been feeling so low. You've been getting great support from forum members but you also mentioned going to your GP - do please tell your GP about these feelings, and you could also consider calling the Samaritans. It's also great that you're going to a Depression Alliance group. Thanks for the support you've been giving to other forum members too. Sorry you had a bit of trouble getting into the online chat. Do keep trying. It's on again tonight at 8pm here: http://www.gamcare.org.uk/chat.

Best wishes

Talking to doc tie morn depression alliance pm. Hope to be able to see therapist....that's funny a therapist seeing a therapist..things bit better with wife but far from perfect....did a few jobsaround house .realising I may have AD I tried to concentrate to do one job at a time.....found this very hard. Otherwise I go and do a bit of something else.......I have often been labelled lazy and my mother spoiling us due to my brother dying..long story and very tearful..did not help. But AD seems to explain a lot of things.

Apart from pound on lottery no gambling

Depression strikes again,although now maybe knowing what causes me to gamble.....a combination of family history and a big chunk of ADD.......the spectre of debt is casting it's shadow.....I know there's probably people who have lost houses,jobs,been to prison through gambling.I have to last till I am65 before I get more income. ( govt pension) and 67 till mortgage finishes.Dare not tell wife because of history of strokes in her and my family.I am in advance in my mortgage as I paid a lump off before frittering a great deal of the rest.Headaches coming back again,tightness in the chest(or am I imagining).the black place is beckoning again"..........

Blood pressure is up

Apart from dunc I feel on my own .......are we all recovered "...

You are not on your own!

Sounds like your taking some good steps in the right direction, depression alliance etc.

Hi Jenner yes I have putreferral form I to doc.Crunch time is when Monet becomes a problem.I took a 50% wage cut when I got made redundant ,thinking I could manage with pensions I cashed in etc.but obviously having blew some of lump sum times will get tight.and my wife's first husband sadly turned into an alcoholic gambler.Thanks for caring.convinced ADD has been my problem...boredom

No gambling but really depressed...bad thoughts coming back again

Depressed again. Got cold not helping. Still no gambling...hoping for referral for ADD convinced this is trigger for gambling not just for me
