Discussion & help on depression & mental health related issues

In a bad way tonight. Friends want me to come out but I've said no I don't feel in a socialising mood. Family have been snipping all day over trivial things from the moment i've got up. Slept in until the middle of the afternoon and already want to go back to bed. Absolutely fed up in general and hate how I feel.

Meh, better than last night but still a bit frazzled. Trying to think of something to do later, I may go the gym or leave it until tomorrow. I want something to do, even something as small as finding a quiet spot to sit and just having time to myself away from my usual places like home or work. Trying to think of something.

Do you feel anxious or panicked about ^^^^ that mate? Or "just" fed up?

I feel I just want to burst into tears, like really wound up tight and not sure how to loosen it all up. It's half past 6 and already I want to go to bed.

That sounds like anxiety to me. Mrs R went through similar recently. I wont play amateur shrink, other than to say, it is totally normal to feel anxious. Problem can be is when the back of the brain, (irrational/emotional bit), overloads the front of the brain, (rational/controlling bit). It is bewildering and can be frightening.

To put it into a football context, the front of the brain will analyse a performance. The back of the brain will go nuts when a goal is scored.

Wanting to go to bed is the front of the brain saying thats not a bad idea. Dont fight that suggestion.

I know you don`t feel like it, but go for a walk or take the car for a drive, put some good tunes on whilst in the car.

Just try and get out of the house for a short while, at least that way you`ll feel like you`ve achieved something ?

Like I said, aint going to play amateur shrink. All I have learned this summer is half the battle is not being arsed about feeling down. Its normal.

That said, a GP will point you in the right direction, meds wise. A professional therapist will nail it way quicker. And permanently.

I've had a decent nights sleep at home - dreading my BP and blood sugars will zoom when we play later .....

It can happen to everyone, and reading George Greens words are quite harrowing.

It must be said though.... he isn't the nicest fella around. I hope he can turn his life around, get playing at a decent level and fall in love with football again because he's a good talent.

He’s not, however perhaps his experiences have done that to him?

Yep, could be well mate.
