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"

alfs barnet 8:03 Sat Feb 1 Re: Anxiety/depression Many years ago I was delayed on my journey home as someone had jumped in front of a tube at Mile End and I was cursing the bastard for their selfishness. When I got home my mum was crying as she’d just found out her cousin had jumped in front of a tube at Mile End.. Learnt a lesson that day I did

"Aright norm I know what you mean mate my old man was born in the slums of Star lane in 1929 and he and his family were rough as fuck and hard as nails. He got sent home form his evacuation after 2 weeks for beating up the local bully in Somerset . I think I told you he joined the Royal green jackets too young for WW2 he fought the in Malaysia ""Emergency"" in the 50s a War in all but name for the insurance purposes for the rubber plantations They did 3 day one man ambushes in jungle on Benzedrine to keep them awake and tin of corned beef a few yards away to keep the insects away. They beheaded dead bandits as they called them and many of mates died or were wounded. He wasn't one to drink in front of kids but before my mum and dad had kids he used to come home pissed and crawl up the passage and call out for his dead mates he was damaged goods and he died in 98. I met a mate on Boxing day and he described him as ""Mad"" . My Dad never sought any help The difference today norm is pressures are different from those days most working class people rented then and did not have mortgages to pay off or credit cards and constant advertising or consumerism and the constant stress of debt To share our experiences with fellow hammers its not weak strong is admitting you are weak sometimes"

"This is the generation seems like frogs boiling in the pot. Mental issues creep in over time in a fast paced society and before you know it, you're fucked! (Or certainly feel that way) With mental health issues so prominent in the media too, I think there is a tendency for some people to start self reflecting on it when they naturally wouldn't and falling down a spiral. I think the wars were different in that sense. Jobs needed to be done at a very precarious time and if anything there was a heightened sense of purpose. You cannot really compare the two. Norm, I'm very sorry you feel shit. Yes, we're here today, gone tomorrow. Agreed. So let's pass some time interacting and maybe trying to understand ourselves before we shuffle off this mortal coil? After all, if it's meaningless, why should anybody give a shit whether the worlds gone ""soft"" or not?"

I have good days and bad days Norman. Helps to talk about it. When you’re ready to admit you’ve got some problems then people will be happy to help. Probably start with your alcoholism and work from there. Good luck.

alfs barnet 3:58 Sat Feb 1 I make you right.

"One of the hardest things to go through when someone close to you has killed themselves is the morbid fascination and excitement that some people have with it. People thinking they had the right to turn up at the inquest to see what happened, like it was an episode of eastenders. That ""jumper"", or the person hosed out of the front of a Eurostar train was someone's son, daughter, mother, father."

[bruuuno]

"I used to know a fella years ago who was a tube driver. He said if you hit a jumper you got six months paid leave, if you hit a total of three in your career then you got to retire on full pension"

Not 100% sure that this is really the right thread to discuss the right and wrong way to kill yourselves...

[Cheezey Bell-End]

"My friend used to work on the underground as well. Seems the platforms are constantly monitored for anything out of the norm, and they kill the power of it looks like someone is going onto the track. Told me he once arrested a post op transsexual who wanted to die because he couldn't have his dick back. He regularly had to attend scenes where there was blood and brain spattered on the wall. Personally, I think it's a highly inconsiderate way to kill yourself. Drivers aren't soldiers and aren't paid to kill people and get a medal."

Bungo 11:34 Sat Feb 1 I would say that would be London Underground

[Westham67]

"I have seen the results of a few jumpers and an accidents. The railway and cutting tunnels as the 2 most dangerous environments to work and play in What people do not realize is when you are standing on of next to the track you cannot hear a train coming . If you have your back to on the track itself it will be the last thing you here At 125mph a body explodes . The procedure for trains and workers on track is the train with blow the horn and you acknowledge by raising your right, basically to let the driver know you are aware there is a train coming your way I was walking through Harrow and Wealdstone station and the way the driver blew the horn I knew there was something wrong and I walked back and there was a leg in what we call the 4 foot , the middle of the track. I was working in Kings Cross platform area and they took all the passengers off of the platform and brought a train in and there a hole where a head hit the canopy ribbons of light blue cloth in the cloth and a red mist down the side of the engine"

"On balance, that would seem the better way to go!"

[Cheezey Bell-End]

"He told me one about someone who got hit square on by a Eurostar at speed. Seems they have a nose cone that opens up to reveal a coupling unit for when they join trains together. Seems the forces involved drove the body, in liquefied form, into the nose cone. So they basically opened it up and hosed him out."
