Sorry to hear about your breakdown, hopefully you are in a better place and have gotten the support you need.
Sorry to hear that mate. I had a work related breakdown about 10 years ago, and I wish I was a member of this forum then because I know it would have helped me get through it. It's certainly been a godsend to me this past week.
Hello there! Doing ok, Been on a medicine I really don't like but seems to be "working" more or less. Took a genetic test called GeneSight that's meant to tell you how your body metabolizes each medicine so side effects should, in theory, be better. The annoying thing is 3 medicines I've taken that I had bad side effects with are in the "good" area so not sure what to think there. Meet with a therapist last week, I'm being honest when I say that if I had met her 2 months before I wouldn't have the biggest problem. Still annoyed about that part. She was very professional and easy to speak with. Also doing a daily program that helps a lot with structure but it ends within the next 2 weeks so I need to figure out what my next step is. I still have weird ass panic attacks when I'm solo so I need to change my meds soon.@riddick how are you doing, mate? Were you able to find a therapist to help you?
The other day I came across this article regarding using ear seeds to treat anxiety. Not sure if you are into alternative medicine, I'm and get acupuncture throughout the year for different issues, but here is the link if you want to check it out.
I Wore Ear Seeds for Five Days and My Chronic Anxiety Disappeared
I tried out ear seeding, an ancient practice from Chinese Medicine, for five days, and it relieved my chronic anxiety.www.instyle.com
It brings anxiety and I get angry easily by the end of the game and it’s not good for my health. I want to watch Everton as a loyal supporter but it’s now causing physical health problems like stomach pains now.
Sorry to hear about your breakdown and hope that you have got the help and support you need. Wishing you well in your recovery.?
You have recognised that you have a problem and that is a big step forward. I found that my anxiety was eased by practising relaxation and mindfulness. Exercise can also be a help. You could try taking a break from Everton for a few weeks easier said than done I know, but the international break will give you a startI’ve had problems with my mental health for a while now, a mix of anxiety and can get angry quite easily, I’ve dealt well with it but Everton always brings it back.
Advice would help, I’d expect other people have had similar problems and how they got through it.
. I’m sure other posters will be along with some great advice soon. All the best.?
I was like this a couple years ago until I realized nothing I did was going to change the outcome on the pitch and, if that were true, what's the point of getting upset about it? I still get excited and annoyed but farrrr less than I used to.I’ve had problems with my mental health for a while now, a mix of anxiety and can get angry quite easily, I’ve dealt well with it but Everton always brings it back.

On and off I was the same but I didn't realise that it was Everton .I just seemed to get all het up at the wife on Saturdays (or whenever they played ) ,picking up on her cooking ,the way she spoke or what she said .I am still a bit like that but now I know what it is ,I try to just step back and count to ten, the form we have had for a few seasons hasn't helped but hopefully we are on the way back .It is easy to offer advice but we all mean it on here and no one judges you so keep posting .Good luck .I’ve had problems with my mental health for a while now, a mix of anxiety and can get angry quite easily, I’ve dealt well with it but Everton always brings it back.

I’m trying to think that I can’t change anything, and it doesn’t matter in a way, it doesn’t affect my life.

Well... You CAN change some things, just nothing about Everton. Only thing you can change about Everton is whether you will let them ruin your weekend or not.
