Well another weekend is nearly done. My son goes into hospital tommorrow for a routine operation and as usual i am at nines and tens in worry and being paranoid.

To be honest, i have been trying to buck my ideas up lately as i have been so down for absolutely no reason and just got sick and tired.

I have to admit that i am getting some very good quality councilling, but the thing is is that it is from someone on here rather than a so called specialist, doesnt figure.

I dont know about anyone else but i am trying to complete a diploma at the momment, one of those long distance learning courses but i am not sure if either my brain is no longer a sponge, or that i have become thick as i am really struggling with it.

Does dippression etc render us incompetent or is it just me, i would appreciate anyone reading this who understands or is in the same boat giving me some advice, even if it just bucks my ideas up.

Anyways, wish my son luck if you read this and i hope you havent fallen asleep while reading this rubbish, i dont know why i am writing to be honest but my head leaves and goes places sometimes without consulting my body.

Love you all lots, good luck and all the best.......

I am sure that depression affects my memory and my ability to think through a problem.  When I am going through a good patch I seem to be able to retain information a lot better and I find it easier to concentrate and understand concepts.

You should stick with the studying you are doing.  You will feel a great sense of achievement when you have finished and I am sure it will give you a confidence boost as well.

Also, if you can get into it, it is possible to actually enjoy studying.  If you can just sit down, and forget about all the other crap going on in your head, forget about how useless you think you are, give yourself a break for a bit, and just focus on what you are doing, it can be fun!

Best of luck to your son!

Hang in there with your studies also. School is very stressful for anyone but for us 'older' folks, it can be a challenge getting into the routine and trying to learn again. When I returned to college I found some classes that I despised in high school ended up being my best subjects! I guess getting older, made it all seem more interesting to me. I did better with regular classes because I had to stay focused and keep up with the rest, so it was theraputic for me. I don't have the mind to study on my own 'on line', I would just put it off and with classes, I had to go, I had to study and I had to participate. I needed that type of structure. If you are doing it on your own....you deserve credit. ALOT of credit!!

Just keep working at it
