Discussion & help on depression & mental health related issues

[blue1948]

I only had 2 yesterday, I think a lot of its mental more than physical.

My BIL was a doctor and he said that up to 6 per day is more good than harm for the relaxation and joy against the threat of lung cancer .Not for non smokers but for those trying to stop. I don't smoke but my wife does and she has tried everything including hypnotism ,she came home and told me smokes made her feel sick to the bottom of her stomach ,that lasted about six hours ! Here it quite common to smoke but never indoors even at -20° they all go out to smoke .

In my case, music keeps the demons in check. Kind of puts a muzzle on them.
You'll have your own thing- weekly 5 a side, fishing, rock climbing, dinner with friends once a month. Whatever.

Again, in my case, laughter is the only thing that scares the demons away.
Again, there'll be something that works for you.

Then there's the one thing that I'm convinced works for everyone. Sends the demons packing with their tails between their legs.

Kindness.

Be Kind. It will raise your self esteem. You never know what the other person is going through. You might be saving someone's life.

Allow others to be kind to you. It will help you. it will restore your faith in humanity. It will help them. It will make the world a slightly better place.

Be aware of kindness. I witness so much of it just on this thread. It really is all over the show despite what doom mongers and news bulletins might have us believe. And it's the greatest weapon and strongest shield you could possibly have.

Love, peace and bananas to you all.

If you eat bananas and baked beans you will get almost all the goodness you need -except kindness.

I hope I’m not the only woman on here—probably not. Just not sure how active this place is. Just hoping this is another place to talk Everton and other things. I’m new here.

The place is flooded with good ones who will be glad of a chat .
