Mate, tbh i think this thread will be deleted very soon. But if your thinking stuff like that you need to go and see a professional. And for the record i tried (and thankfully failed) about 6 years ago for reasons i won't go into now, but.... Go and talk to someone, soon. regards Al.
yes,its horrible,nothing and no one seem to matter. you end up not wanting anything in life, nice house? nah,what for? nice car? nah,what for? job? nah. but your gonna end up a bum on the streets,so what? etc... then you have to realise that other people/family are what matter,but if you dont have help it is very hard to pick yourself up. theres absolutely nothing wrong with talking to people about it,in fact you have to. neil.
Been there a few years ago, depressed, drinking too much, as the others have already said, go and talk to someone. At the time it seems like theres no point to anything but trust me, things do get better. Depression is a illness and will be treated as such by your doctor, you will be surprised at how many people suffer from depression at one point or another in there life.
If you don't mind me asking mate, are you feeling depressed at the moment or is this more of a general question?
Yup already been to doctors. Dont want to go into too much detail but lost the plot a month or so ago. Just interested as to anybody else beem through it. Edited by: Raider
at least you made the first step then m8 i never actually went to the doctors because i couldnt be arsed ,im still pulling my self through it now. i havent smoked a joint for 5 days,after 10 years solid smoking,so im getting there as i dont think that was helping. try keeping yourself busy too,throw me a pm if you want. im not the best talker but id like to help if i can. neil.
Feel for you mate, I might not know you personally but I have a good idea how your feeling. You will find the plot again and get everything sorted. As long as you are looking for help and support you are on the right track.
I couldnt be bothered with the doctor either....denied there was anything wrong for years. Then it went tits up..... Edited by: Raider
so you realise that you are suffering from depression,which theres nothing wrong with admitting(tis the first step to self help ), and just think that years down the line,you would! look back in hindsight and wish you had found help earlier. happiness can be had again m8 neil.
Why? I shan't be deleting it that's for sure. Unless you've been there you cannot understand this situtation completely. When the whole world seems to be falling apart around you it helps to be able to talk to people who understand. For the record I will delete any sarcastic or uncaring posts. This is not the time or the place for them.
Never been depressed myself - but if you want an ear to bash Raider feel free to send a PM Edited by: superden
I've had depression for years, and didn't do anything about it (well anything productive anyway), attempted to commit suicide a couple of times (though no actual bodily harm came of it, thankfully), went to the doc went on prozac (fluoxetine) for a month, didnt work, after I stopped taking that slowly got worse til I felt suicidal a number of times every day for the last few months, finally went to the doc last week (spurred on my TSC's suicide poll) now taking citalopram for it and feel much better. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, If you need someone to talk to pm or msn me (dj_westcliffe@hotmail.com)
well said gav. i can say that for myself it helped to talk to people on here,recently i went through some crap and spoke to a couple people (u know who u are ) feel the cgti love? you seem like a decent guy from what i know of you m8,not a lot i know,but good luck and you can! get through it. neil.
its knowing the bottom of it all and looking to get back on top. its really tricky unless you can see/know where you want to be other than spinning around feeling glum about it all. but go talk to someone.
Link We all have our dark times. But remember, you're in a rut. Either side of a rut is a mound. You'll be on the mound, whether it takes days, weeks or months. Depression is temporary, though it feels like it's forever - it isn't.
Aye, it was at 80% the night I posted it - we all have the thought. Or maybe the forum being so slow could be the cause?
