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"

"I am also able to help,try walking early in the morning round a nice place,lake ect,this will help.the main thing talk share your problems.wish you well."

[Pub Bigot]

"I know this will come across as a shallow thing, but if you want someone to talk to I'll happily share my number and we can talk. I don't know what depression feels like, I cannot relate in that way, but if I can help in anyway I will. First chance you get, talk to someone, professional or otherwise and then seek help. The slogan it's okay to not be okay has never been truer and your feelings are not your fault. Good luck fellow Hammer, my offer is open always."

"Mike, why don't you actually talk to those who you don't ""feel"" like bonding with?"

[Mike Oxsaw]

"Maybe we've (all) got too many ""must to"" activities in our lives to make and keep the personal bonds that give us a sense of ""belonging""? I much prefer my own company these days, but will socialise occasionally. That being said, my nomadic lifestyle tends to preclude much social activity. There's nobody at my current location - at least from work - that I have the remotest interest in ""bonding"" with, and not that much to see/do outside work. That leaves my trips out of wherever my current posting finds me, or. being thoroughly modern, informal chat sites like this; not enough for some, but suits me fine. Something to look forward to - however ""trivial"" - helps. I found an old jigsaw about 2 years ago, and I already have planned where & when I will start work on it as being able to do so will indicate I've completed many other things I've set out to accomplish. What does help (me) though, is making some ""personal time""; a period when I do something for me - and only me. It's not being selfish - or anti-social."

Mods - perhaps pin this thread to the top???

[Stevethehammer]

I get depressed due to loneliness. I have reached out to people before tried to make new friendships and rekindle old ones and had them literally slam the door in my face. Its making me more and more bitter towards people in all honesty. I'm not a horrible bloke but its becoming that way and I can see why people are utter cunts sometimes.

"Wasn't it agreed by most top people in the mental health sphere that one of the main causes of depression is suppressed anger? Suppressed anger can be an underlying cause of anxiety and depression. Anger that is not appropriately expressed can disrupt relationships, affect thinking and behaviour patterns, and create a variety of physical problems In other words better out than in."

"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."

[Bungo]

"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"

[Alfs]

"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"

[wd40]

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

[Alfs]

"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."

"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."

"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.
