Discussion & help on depression & mental health related issues

Walking and sports do, but I found that after a while my depression, so to say, got used to the idea of "I'm feeling bad, I'll just go for a walk", and when you can't physically do that - it hits you really hard.

Of course, that is/could just be me or a small amount of people, but just saying to not only rely on that...

It's not a long term fix mate, but can be useful.
 
Well, I'm having a hell of a time personally. Getting hammered at work for "underperformance", from a strumpet of a Manager, but I've also got plenty of evidence of bullying against me. I've got the Union on side but it's affecting me mentally & now physically. To add to my state, my best mate is in the news on corruption charges, so my usual crutch is under the pump himself. (And I don't care what he's done, he's my mate & I stand by him!)

I've spent the entire day in bed with the worst migraine I've ever had, the physically nauseating type, and now I feel the beginnings of a sore throat.

I've held off acting at work but I think it's time to roll the dice. I try to avoid confrontation but I think I've put up with this for too long. Enough is enough!

Oh, and I miss me Ma! :(
 

having a down day today so doing the wrong thing and getting plastered. I know it doesn't help but makes me forget all the problems and do things I used to do, listening to music chatting on here chillin. just venting as usual that's why I like this thread.

It's unfortunately the nature of the disease and contributes to the lack of understanding from non-suffers. Depression can prevent you from doing the very things you need to do to feel/get better - seek help, be physically active, do things you enjoy, etc - and knowing you just can't sometimes, makes things even worse. Vicious circle.

You're not alone or even in a minority in feeling this way

Hope today is a better day mate...
 
I went for a chat today at Inclusion Matters (this has turned into a weekly thing)
I was told that I need to get out and get a hobby, not brood about not being able to go into work because of my health.
I've always liked history, so I went to the Central Library and asked if there were any local history groups about, they pointed me in the right direction and told me that they have a WW1 exhibition on at the moment, so I went to have a quick look. A young guy walks up to me while I was browsing the displays and he asked me if it was bringing back any memories for me?
WTF, I'm 57
It did cheer me up a bit though.lol
 

Hi everybody. I'm new here.
May I start in this way... my fiancee has epilepsy and severe disorders resulting therefrom... but today was a good day, nothing happened. She had already fallen asleep so I can now sleep peacefully.

I get the feeling you want to say more mate. From my experience of being a part of this forum, there is lots of good lads here who are not only good listeners but can give sound advice and support. Also, sometimes its good to get a few things off your chest.

Sorry to hear about your wife's condition.

Anything you've always fancied doing or quite liked the idea but for whatever the reason, couldn't get to try/do it ?
