Anxiety/depression

Been through bad time lately with suffering with this. Dark thoughts as well. I know some posters on here suffer with this. Anyone come through the other side of this shit?

Good to hear that things are looking better currently.

One bit of advice I would give is to try to have a plan ready for what you will do in case things take a downward curve. I don't know what that plan might look like for you, but better to pre-empt it than have to start dealing with it from scratch if it happens when you least feel like dealing with it.

Hope it's unnecessary but even just having a plan in place might give you some more reassurance and stability now.

Good luck.

Re: Anxiety/depression
I’ve suffered in the past , my advice is try to eat healthily, cut out alcohol, get outdoors and talk to people,

That last bit especially. The problem is, when you are feeling as low as a snakes belly, it is the hardest thing in the world to do.

Re: Anxiety/depression

Well done Steve I am pleased for you mate.

I had depression like that I had never felt before it started about October 19. It used to come in overwhelming waves and I kept losing things as I was mulling my situation all of the time and when I lost something it just remininded me and others how ill I was. I would have a panic attack when I lost something at work and my head would just go somewhere else thinking about how ill I was and I would have to go home because I could not cope

Knowing I wasn't alone on this forum was a great comfort

Re: Anxiety/depression

Just wanted to pop in and say I'm doing alright at the moment.
Been a hard few weeks but getting a job working and feeling part of a team again has helped. Long tiring hours but keeps the mind ticking over and rather than sitting there over thinking life and letting depression get the better of me.
Cannot wait to get on a plane out to Asia when we can travel again as travelling is my medicine if you like.
West ham doing the business has put a smile on my face and seriously thank you to the fellas wanstead and Norman no mates for the concerns. Nice to know its not all doom and gloom and even if it's just a footie forum some people out there give a damn. Cheers fellas, ironssss

I sent him a whomail earlier, asking him to post up and let us all know that he’s ok. (No sign though). Bit concerning.

If anyone knows him, can you please tryn get in touch with him and do the same. Hopefully he’s safe and sound.

Re: Anxiety/depression

The last two/three months have been the only time in my life I've had proper 'stress'/anxiety. Purely because of my job. Decided to leave the job as a result and do something else. Already feel the fog lifting. I know sometimes it's not that easy but remember that we can all make positive decisions to change our environment even if it's not as radical as leaving your job.

Looks like you posted on the wrong thread. Now, fuck off back to your regular thread.

Your comment is more disingenuous than helpful.

Re: Anxiety/depression

Can I ask if anyone is having a better time of it in the last eight months? Sorry not to trawl through all the recent posts but if anyone has felt improved due to covid restrictions I would love to hear about it.

I can only reiterate what the others have said on here. Sage advice indeed. (Good old WHO!)
You’re already getting it off your chest which is a good thing and getting out in the fresh air in the natural light, even for a short time, will be of huge benefit (the days are getting longer now as well). Tryn vary things (times/small tasks/bit of exercise, if possible).
As Exeter says, something will come along out the blue that will completely get you back to where you belong/was, without you even realising.
All the advice on here is genuine positivity (big word!) and straight from the horse’s mouth.
All the best. Keep well.

Re: Anxiety/depression

I was a right state in my early 20s, the result of a lot of over indulgence, burning both ends of the candle relentlessly, not eating properly etcetc

Some of my friends the same/worse

Fot anyone sufferering, all the very best.

There are ALWAYS ways out, no matter how bad things seem, you can turn the corner and then those things will be memories and just how they seemed at the time.

it may not seem like it now, maybe you think that things can't get any worse and there's no way out....there always is and sometimes it'll come to you without you even thinking about it.

Heads Up.

That's the thing with it, one day you can seem certain and it feels like a logical way out but then there are better days. You have to cling to the hope that there are better days even when it might not seem like it. Talk to someone, there is always a way back to better times. If you are stuck in going over everything in your head then find try to go out and find some open space, it can help break the cycle of negativity.

Sound advice already given - especially with the lighting around you; it makes a subtle but noticeable difference.

Also, if you can, try and cook at least once a day, even if it's something simple; it occupies your mind and you get an end result; I found it very relaxing after 10 hours in an office dealing with muppets.
