Discussion & help on depression & mental health related issues

[Brett Angell Delight]

Lost my dad in the summer. Had a dream last night we were in his old house and my nan said he was upstairs but not in a good way. I said I thought he'd passed and she said he hasn't. As I came out the lounge he came bounding down the stairs and gave me a big hug and said he was ok. Then I woke up miss the old fella so much. Have a great week everyone x

Just over 15 years since I lost my auld fella and he still pops up in dreams quite regularly. Of course it’s always hard to wake up and remember they’re not around, but these days I think it’s quite nice to have chatted to him again however much it might only be a dream. Got to take what you can get I suppose!

Take care mate.

That's exactly how I see it. As sad as it is it was his way of telling me he's ok.. So I take peace from that x

As evertonians we sometimes berate and call down our own but a brief read on this thread can make you realise that we can sometimes be the most supportive and genuine people you can wish for in your life.

I had a dream about my gf last week, will be three years very soon. I probably have a dream at least once a week about her. I pray you are never in the place to question the reasoning behind their appearance and enjoy what life has to offer you, ether it troubles and strife or just a wife.

Enjoy it whilst you can and don’t be like me writing this bollocks on a footy forum

I like to think that dreams like that are your deceased loved ones coming check up on you and make sure you are OK. As well as reassuring us that they are still around.

It is awesome to see. With my deepest darkest recesses of depression, sometimes the kind words of someone you've never met, or likely to can raise the spirits.

I commented a while back with my troubles, dual diagnosis. Well.last week I celebrated 90 days clean. Anyone battling addiction, what has saved me is my support support group, narcotics anonymous. Also with my depression I have been regularly attending therapy with a psychotherapist. The treatment programme is Acceptance commitment therapy. I've managed to half my meds, Venlaflaxine to 75mg per day.

Bless you. It’s a journey full of ups and downs. But you’re stronger than the darkness. Addiction and depression, on some level most everyone can relate. Even us in the forum have your back, propping you up, pushing you forward. Keep up the work with counseling. Diligently practice what you’re being asked to do. Find times of calm and peace in your day. Maybe a guided meditation. Or just non-lyric ethereal/spa music. Most importantly, ignore negative self-talk, focus on small victories, and love yourself.

Often we find it easier to talk to strangers, no judgement or past knowledge makes it easier to open up. Sounds like you've got a good support network in place and you'll get there for sure. The longer you stay clean the easier it becomes long term. If you make mistakes learn and move on. Often no one gives us as hard a time as we give ourselves, be gentle on yourself as well. Good luck on your journey

Very true. Great words of advice. Keep calm and keep going. Forward ever, Backward never. Fail we may, try we must.
