Discussion & help on depression & mental health related issues

[BullensRoad]

This isn't the thread to be an arsehole in. Go away.

From my own personal experiences I resonated a lot of what he said and how he comes across.

Offered and still available to give him advice. Up to you how you interpreted it.

You stick to how you are as a person on here.

[Rita_Poon]

Stop being antagonistic in a thread that’s meant to help people.

I know you’re also neurodivergent from your previous posts (“free meth off NHS”) - which I am also.

I actually entered this thread to say I had job loss, miscarriage and that everything has turned around and things got better.

Glad you’ve come forward. If you need any advice when it comes to ADHD give me a shout.

I’ve noticed a lot of your posts have been attention seeking or looking for reactions, luckily I had contacts with a neurodivergent specialist so let me know.

Appreciate you may have meant well, but the tone/phrasing could have been better.

Apologies that’s now what I intended. If you could delete those posts that would be most helpful.

Thank you.

I sent that post with goodwill, I’m only trying to help you.

If that really is the case, then you’re an egotistical bell end who possesses a distinct lack of self awareness, and intelligence.

May I please ask for a stay of execution please.

 

[MrPerfectNot]

I would kindly ask not to take any of this onboard. Albeit the advice may be helpful to some, they’re posting via a PR firm to save their grace.

Your response makes no sense to me.

Come on lads lets all get along now

Don't think I have opened up on here before with any details of mental ill health. I continue to pop in here to find comfort in the advice I see, and the commraderie and support between posters. Sometimes things are written and it gets lost in translation, or it was just poor taste, but regardless, this has to remain a safe space where people can trust they will not be judged.

With that in mind.

I'll share.

I've struggled with diagnosed Depression and Anxiety in bouts on and off for years. I have had a rough 4 years probably since Corona. Medication, CBT counselling has helped. But never enough where I have felt normal, or back to near my perceived best.

Lethargy, lack of motivation, fatigue, moods, irratiability, irrational worry, intrusive thoughts make life unbearable sometimes. More recently, darkest thoughts, or feeling like a burden, and being sick of getting up off the floor again have made me seek further help.

The first time asking for help was the hardest. Once I did it though, years ago, it allowed me to recognise any serious downward spirals, and asking for help again was easier.

Anyone that has struggles, and has never asked for help, I understand, as asking for help in my head is a weakness. I've learnt now its the opposite.

I am lucky despite this. I am well supported, I am strong willed, and I have a lot to live for.

Its because of those reasons that I have continued to push for answers.

Since last year blood tests have revealed some hormone and vitamin deficiencies that I am now having treatment for. These deficiencies it seems can cause or certainly add to the issues I have had.

So the point is.

Seeing the honesty on this thread has helped me. I hope this might help others.

I am grateful for this community, and although I physically don't know anyone on here, there are names, callsigns and avatars that I look for as their contributions help me, make me laugh or other.

Please be kind, as you never really know what someone has gone through, is still dealing with, and what their general outlook on life and death might be, and amazingly words on a screen can be so powerful.

Thanks for reading.

Thank you for sharing this. I too have come to realise, through this forum, that you can have friends in the virtual world - whose wellbeing you care about and whose triumphs and tragedies you share - just as much as those in the real world.
