Depression

[MoggasDog]

Who did you do this with please mate?

There are a few available, actually. Cost a few quid but no more than a holiday.
Although it is totally legal and regulated in the Netherlands, I'm not sure it would be a good idea to put up links on this board.
If you PM me then I will tell you anything you want to know ;)

Just logged onto the nhs app and sent a message to the gp. Quoted depression , stress, alcohol abuse.

Mine have come to me, I think they are a bit worried after signing me off sick for 2 years and never speaking to me. My medical history is a shocking read.

oh right. The Last time I went off long term
Sick they would only sign me off 4 weeks at a time? I had to contact them every month to get another certificate.

I get 6 months at a time. Bonkers but needed but feels like a formality. I don't claim anything as my salary is paid all be it 25% less. I have paid £300/month for my benefits for 27 years. Not trying to justify it, I just don't want people to think I am sponging of the tax payer.

Just my expoerience , i appreciate its not a one size fits all experience but it was other people who caused me stress, depression and anxiety. As soon as they were out my life. Had counsellinf which gave me strategies and ways of thinking to improve my mood and outlook and i also found jesus my mental health and happinesss increased. Toxic people was the trigger for me and now im sensitive to them and avoid them like the plague..surround yourself with people who care, think you're worthy and want the best for you.

Great point.
Bit difficult when it’s your job though.
And a job you’ve had for best part of 25 years at that.
I won’t be celebrating.

Not posted because I don’t feel qualified to offer up any advice and that’s what I would really love to do. I’ve had bouts of low mood but nothing like what you’ve been through/are living daily. However I wanted to let you know that you’re worth it and to keep fighting.

I hope and believe better days are on the way.

Interesting the replies about having zero emotions. That's me at present. Suffering with stress/anxiety/depression, caused me to do really out of character things (stress at work caused a heightened state......things happened.......then crashed).

As a result, I'm dead behind the eyes. Wife crying her eyes out, there's nothing. Absolutely void of any emotion. No empathy, just nothing.

Why - haven't a clue.

I had this a month or two ago, i had to pull myself away from something because in truth I’ve overstretched myself.

Also ditched some social media, can’t be doing with the negative *****, it’s all down to greed again, some people will never have enough whilst myself = me + family + mates + anyone I can help.

I can understand the zero emotions, I went through a stage thinking I’ll never laugh or find anything funny again.

If I can make people smile or give them a bit of relief I try. Those with an agenda well - they soon get found out

Hope you have a better day @h_m_boro

And you @Aet290204 and @sadgit

It's always..... good?......to know other people are going what you're going through. It's not "good" but you know what I mean.

Been struggling since January, just ignored everything. All because okay, no problems.....then outside influencers brought everything crashing. The stress related mania/highs to the depressive low, with the stress and anxiety thrown in. Good days, bad days. Marriage on the brink, where do I go what do I do. Proper sh*t.

Speaking to a counsellor, mates......writing my sh*t down on here helps massively. I don't know what's going on in my head, why I'm like this, why I'm emotionally detached and cold.

Need to get sorted, going to take time. But where I am at the end.......I really don't know.

Bit scary really.

You are not the only one, which is 'good'. And yes, it's scary!

No to dissimilar to how I've been feeling. I noticed changes in myself 2 years ago which made me look at lots of different options for support and then on to Trt.

I also think Psilocybin therapy sounds very promising, as long as they don't get the dose wrong as I always suffered mad paranoia when tripping, never stopped me though!

This guy has documented his TRY journey.

why is it we turn to vodka? and not a nice bottle of red wine? :)
I hardly drank the last 2 days, i wanted to as I am absolutely sh!ting myself about my doctors appointment this morning. I've hardly slept for 2 days and my little brain in just catastrophising thinking I am going to die. Would it be a bad thing? :(

Red wine is just as lethal.

Just walked down into my kitchen from switching on the laptop to more fresh hell and was most tempted to finish off the half a bottle of Merlot from yesterday.

Didnt cos I know that’s a slippery slope.

More blood tests and getting some scans. 1st time I have seen a doctor in over 4 years. He was young (isn't everyone now) but brilliant. He didn't patronise me. Said anti depressants don't work for everyone. Very nice guy. I still don't know the answer but it isn't down the neck of a bottle. Liver is not as bad as I thought, god knows how but it is inflamed.. Thanks for being my outlet. I used to like the fact I was anonymous but I don't care now as I've met enough of you now. I was scared to talk about my troubles, not anymore as bottling up everything got me into this mental state.

That sounds like a really positive meeting this morning, Mark.
