Discussion & help on depression & mental health related issues

I used to feel like that before every counselling session. I was honest with the counsellor about how I always felt like cancelling and she understood. Most importantly I always felt better for going and was glad I hadn't cancelled.

I missed the last one, well it was a group session thing, a few months ago. Cannae miss this one like. But yeah, CBA.
 
Probably a wise decision as it's easier to find a new job when you're already employed.

I work in an office myself so I know the importance of having people you get on with around you.

Does your employer know your unhappy? Can you request a move?

Done it already and got turned down flat. Part of the reason i've been so frustrated and in a bad mood. I am walking the minute I find something else.
 


Really can’t believe that Avicii committed suicide. Only 28, too.

His music will always be the music that reminds me of going out with my mates, going on holidays, etc.

His song ‘Wake Me Up’ will have a different feel to it now, knowing the thoughts he must’ve been having, despite it being an upbeat anthem.

I suppose with him being in that party atmosphere of drink and drugs, it is bound to have an effect on his mental health.

So sad.

It’s sad that Avicii never got to realise the impact his music had on so many people. His audience were happy with what they had, they weren’t seeing him as flawed or not delivering the perfect vibe.

There is a good life lesson in this for everyone. Look at the good stuff you are bringing to people’s lives and don’t beat yourself up chasing a model of perfection.
 

I suppose I should have posted my ADHD thing here. I have a 90 minute appointment with a doctor a week today. I'm hoping to be officially diagnosed with ADHD and prescribed Ritalin as I've read very good reviews about how good it is for helping focus.
My daughter told me today that one of my granddaughters is taking CBD oil as a way to combat her hypersensitivity. For the last three years she has struggled to get her to dress in the mornings due to the debilitating disorder. But after only two days she is dressing normally with no problem at all.

I think I might give it a try
 
Having a bad night. Currently drinking and feeling very blue, part of me just wants to give up. Finding out certain things about certain people only strengthens my belief that things won't pan out good in the end, it feels like my whole life is just going from one disappointment to the next and I just can't convince myself things will pan out good in the end.

If this is all there is for me then I don't want to carry on for much longer.

Has something happened this week mate?

Is there anyone you can ring and talk to?
 
Feeling a bit better now but still a bit down. I'm only 24 but can't convince myself that what i'm going through is just a phase. It just feels like " this is all life is mate" and it's getting me down something bad.

It gets better. Good things can come along when you least expect it.

Have you thought about going back to the GP to review your meds?

Everything we do happens in a phase mate. The good times, the bad times, they all pass. Hang in there and soon enough a better phase will come along. There is plenty to live for whatever, whoever we are, we just don't always see it. It's just a matter of looking for and finding it. Looking for it is most of the fun in my view.
 
Stick with it kid. I’ve been in your shoes.

Get to your GP first thing Monday. Explain to work later, just go.
I have only just realised the GP/Goodison Park connection. It's ironic really because, as high up the league we are, most of us are disappointed. I know myself that my mood improves greatly when the team is doing well. Hopefully @EFCPaul will soon feel better, but a good performance, and win today should certainly help.
