Anxiety/depression

[Tomshardware]

"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?

"A number of posters have been yellow carded and told to stay off this thread unless they have anything constructive to add.This is a thread that has been very useful to so many, for any other posters with scores to settle, argue on another thread. This thread is sacrosant.Thank you"

"Alf, what meds you on mate? That feeling of dread is an absolute cսnt, especially when you can't work out why it's appeared. Something I did was write down what activities I was doing prior to feeling like that to work out if there were any triggers, I then noticed a strange pattern of minor things which sparked that feeling."

"The word anxiety is used pretty broadly (again a bit like flu when people have a bad cold). There is clinical anxiety which can be diagnosed and treated (much like proper depression), and day to day anxiety that comes and goes and most people will experience to a greater or lesser degree. Worry is probably a better word for this to help separate the two. Again there is a scale that clinicians often use to diagnose clinical anxiety that gives a good indication as to whether it needs treatment or not. https://dcf.psychiatry.ufl.edu/files/2011/05/HAMILTON-ANXIETY.pdf"

"Depression and anxiety are heavily linked, WD. Being fed up with your life every single day is certainly depression. Relationship problems can cause depression - though I have no idea as to which post you're referring to. Depression is one of those things that you don't truly understand until you've been affected by it"

depression is not anxiety being fed up is not depression a bad day at work is not depression being a shit to your love one and getting found out is not depression. in the mean time click on below and feel sad for someone else for a minute. last week’s news about Rob Burrow

"I've found myself getting over-anxious when I arrive at my desk and open my workstream. Even though I'm presently working in sales my MD gives me very little pressure, is pleased with my performance and I'm making very good money - but I get this feeling of dread every day. Yet I quite enjoy the job on some levels. I'm already on ADs. Maybe I need to change my meds?"

"White Pony 12:27 Fri Jan 17 Maybe. Always happy to help. That said, in all honesty, if being exciting to people on a football forum is any part of your self-worth, the thread is more likely to apply to you. And comparing yourself to others, even in terms of how boring you are compared to them, is not great mental heath practice. Do you thinking you are more exciting than me because you feel need to talk about me? Something a little strange there."

eric5bellies 4:42 Thu Jan 16 Roughly the same timeframe with me. My then partner's daughter died. It is always there waiting.

"To be fair, he really should contribute to threads like this. If someone is really struggling, it will undoubtedly lift them up to know they are nowhere near as boring as ironsofcanada."

"Side of Ham 12:11 Fri Jan 17 I did see that one. I am from much further north and gene pool is a little bigger. Thanks for trying to do your research though. No fault in being wrong. But welcome to the thread about me apparently, Side."

"No shock to find IOC was a scout,..... was a shock to find he was one of the locals in The Deliverance though......"

"bruuuno 12:02 Fri Jan 17 I never saw it bru, my boy. Maybe you can enlighten me. While I am learning, Ag - where does that come from? I never heard someone actually laugh that way, have you?"

"Dan M 11:41 Thu Jan 16 Tron guy? New one to me. I responded to posts, like you responded to mine, mate. Surely that make us equality sensitive. Though to be fair, you are the one worried about what other posters are doing rather than just responding to the flow of the thread. I would not worry so much about me."

[Dan M]

Bit oversensitive there Tron Guy.

"But if we are being serious, exercise, whatever is generally good for your mental health but it is important to find ones that engage you, I would guess."

[ironsofcanada]

"Dan M 6:03 Thu Jan 16 I was responding to posters Dan, like yourself, the conversation was about rowing for some reason. Sorry it bothers you. I would think a good mental health tip would be to not respond to things you find boring, thereby perpetuating them."

AG!

"Pipe down eric, this is a thread about things ironsofcanada has done. Now, have you any questions you'd like to ask him?"

[eric5bellies]

"Yes. I experienced some very dark events in 2014-15 that led me on a downward spiral. It is quite easy (with help) to drag your way out of this to a bright future. Fair play to you for showing some balls and putting this out there, great first move. For me professional advice set me straight, not saying it will work for you but at least give it a shot. The quicker you act the easier it is."

[ironsofcanada]

Bungo 3:14 Thu Jan 16 Yeah that does seem to get harder every year. The rolling hills of the English country side for me as of late.

"For me I think it would be less the jumping off, but climbing to the places that they do jump off. I obviously don't need anything like that much adrenaline!"

[Block]

Please. You make norwaytips interesting.

"Bungo I am in no rush to try. Got a lot of that out my system as a teenager and Scout, I think, with ziplining and repelling and such. Now free to go on and live my boring life."

[Bungo]

I sometimes wonder how much money I'd have to be offered to do a base jump. As yet I haven't been able to think of a sum large enough.
