Really sorry to hear that mate, it's hard to even understand how people that low function day to day.

It's going okay, turns out they have been a bit funny with my brother too. I think retirement has just made them both really bored and are overthinking everything.

Got in a weird situation tonight, watched some guy sexually assault my friend so he started on me and i
got kicked out for putting my key on his neck.

Obv I shouldn't have done that but they now want a statement and stuff. I tend to be fairly good with dealing as this but my friend is so upset I'm find it hard to think about it logically and feeling like I could be [Poor language removed] over

Sorry you have to put up with that mate. I have issues with people if I use my symbol cane out and about ( mainly in town and public transport) . I can cope with it but it must really hurt you with it being your child ,

the world is full of selfish ignorant people

Love abit of laurel and hardy, my favourite gotta be Abbot and Costello though- folded over everytime I watch them. Fawlty Towers and some mothers do have 'em too brilliant - can't beat abit of innocent stupidity.

Abbott and Costello and Laurel and Hardy films always take me back to the fifties and the railway children’s Christmas party. The afternoon started with a film show, followed by tea of sandwiches, jelly in those little paper dishes with frilly edges and a mince pie. The afternoon ended with a visit from Father Christmas and we all received a mandarin orange, bag of Palm Toffees and a voucher for 6/6d from the local toy shop. Happy Days.

probably a bit of a strange post but just wondering if anyone else feels the same.

I have posted on here a few times over the years, ive struggled with depression and anxiety and i can say that i think im over the worst of it. Lately ive been finding myself waiting for something to go wrong again in my life and cant get rid of this feeling.

something isnt right and i cant quite work it out, the things i used to worry about have started to resurface.
nothing has triggered it, its just gradually started to build up again.

Broughy you've gone through so much rubbish, leading to depression, that you've pre programmed yourself to things going wrong. I suspect we all have been through the " things normally go wrong ". You need to live for the moment. If your feeling fine, long may it continue. Enjoy that particular ride. We have have to be carefull we don't start a self fulfilling prophecy of being " certain " things will go wrong.

Let me tell you buddy, things will go wrong in your life, as sure as night follows day. It's called life. As Oscar Wilde said " the only thing that spoils my plans for life........is life itself". Try not to worry, don't be too hard on yourself, too anxious, and just enjoy life when the situation allows us.

I can only speak for myself mate.

I can remember thinking to myself “ somethings weird, I feel different “ but couldn’t put my finger in it.

What it actually was, was that I’d start to feel normal again and due to feeling crap for so long, that feeling like crap had become normal.

Once it registered with me, that I was starting to feel “ okay “ again, I then started to worry, to the point of panicking, that it was only temporary and that then set the anxiety off again. The best way I could describe it, would be like a permanent sense of dread or foreboding.

There’s loads of stuff online about the recovery period and about how your brain, having been locked into a cycle of depression and anxiety, almost doesn’t want to let go of it.

The way I combatted it, was by upping my running, severely cutting back on the ale and keeping busy all the time, which meant I had little time to ruminate and eventually, with time it just went away.

In a nutshell, you worry about being worried and end up feeling like crap again.
