Discussion & help on depression & mental health related issues

[Diogenes the Cynic]

Came off all my meds before I came here and was doing great but had a massive panic attack in the room before, went to a cafe and burst into tears.

Don't want to let my family know I'm struggling because they will panic too.

Had a couple Mai Tais and the waitress sat with me and taught me a couple of Thai phrases and I feel a bit better.

It all happened because I got bitten by a cat I was stroking and I panicked I might have rabies. Just the straw that broke me momentarily but cocktails and breathing exercises have pulled me back.

Sometimes you just need a little thing to make you snap back from overwhelming feelings.

Sometimes its good for a little thing or incident to cause a bigger reaction so it becomes an outlet for deeper more serious worries. Youve been through a lot to say the least...dont begrudge yourself a cocktail or two !

I certainly haven't been begrudging myself anything, I'm having to put the reigns on because I'm numbing myself with mai tais and girls from when I wake til I pass out.

Was shaky today though so I'm going to get a grip. I'm having drinks with someone then we go home and I'm going yoga at 10.

Stay off the strong smoke as well. It can make anxiety problems much worse and make you really paranoid too.

Also one hundred per cent don`t go anywhere near any Yaba !!!

Haven't been into smoke for years, it doesn't make me giggle anymore so no fun.

I get offered stuff all the time especially because I want to talk and make friends with everyone but I'm not interested, not a Saint in UK but no way I risk stuff like that over here.

The Amsterdam bar in Phangan allegedly does incredible shroom shakes though.

Finally had the scan and despite there probably being more (TMI) then there should have been in the last few days. The baby is fine. We can finally look forward to Christmas.

Thanks all for the well wishes.

So happy for you and the family. Have a lovely Christmas x

Well in mate, if you want a good traditional English name for either a boy or a girl @Joey66 is your man.

At the moment I believe Maggie and Winston are amongst his favourites.

Brilliant news. From experience, nothing causes worry and confer like that induced when it involves your children, then your missus.

I've met the most amazing girl but we have on and off for the past few months because I am afraid to commit. I wish I could because she is so much my soulmate s what is my issue? Advice, please!

I'm in a downward spiral at the moment. Good thing Christmas is coming up.

I should avoid this place until Everton get better, because I hate the idea that I am somehow responsible for the club's results and am able to control them with my thoughts. It's not good for my delusions.
