Discussion & help on depression & mental health related issues

I've kept away from this thread for a while now.mainly because I didn't like people telling me what to do. talk to someone get professional advice etc. I just thought I could vent my feelings on here and everyone say awww poor you. I know the "look at me " syndrome.but unfortunately that does happen. and I must admit mainly the only time I post is when I have had a drink. but I do read the thread daily and refrain from posting because I know there is nothing I can say to make anything better. and I would feel a fraud telling people my problems when reading of suicides and serious depression etc. but I feel low today and just want to unload and nameless, unseen people is an easier option than face to face people you know.

I think given what you're obviously going through at the moment it's entirely understandable that you couldn't really concentrate on the match. Have you been offered the chance to speak with a councillor prior to starting your treatment ?.
It won't stop the way your feeling, but it will help understand the process of the feelings that you are going to experience.
I think it's wonderful that you've come on here and posted, but I think someone from the likes of Macmillan could be of enormous help to you .

Mate, this thread is open to all - those that want to rant, those that want help, those that want to offer help. It's completely open and non-judgmental.

If you want to rant (and it helps you) - rant away...

That's what it's here for - sorry for sounding patronising, it's just that a good mate has just been through it all and come out the other side and he didn't utilise any of the services offered to him, preferring to " man " it out. The net result is his treatment was successful, but he has now been on a 2 mth long bender since getting his good news !.

apologies for my comments on receiving advice etc. I know everyone means well.

Apology is not necessary. The thread is here for whatever reason you need.

We live in a sceptical world & it does take a little bit of time to realise that the thread is exactly what everyone says it is. It's almost self moderated by its contributors which, in itself, is remarkable.

Everyone does mean well and some people already know they need professional advice but could do with a little reinforcement of that from people here. Others don't. It's no big deal.

Perhaps unloading on strangers is what you need in order to gain the words necessary to open up to those closest to you? Perhaps the responses from strangers will give you an idea of the types of questions you might get from those closest to you if you do open up to them? Regardless, use the thread as you see fit. ;)
