"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"

"goose 4:31 Tue Jan 14 Joe unfortunately seems to have zero understanding that depression is absolutely not the same as being cheerful in your life or being miserable. Nothing in any post displays any understanding of this at all. He is however not alone in that complete absence of understanding. Depression can be related to an external cause, but is often endogenous, i.e. not attributable to any identifiable external factors. This is a part of the complexity of the condition when it comes to diagnosis and treatment. The HAM-D scale is a good point to gauge where a person actually is. Clearly a lot of people misuse the term (see cold/flu), which doesn't help with the lack of understanding a significant proportion of the population have,"

"IMO, the border line from being clinically depressed to being psychotic is very, very thin. We ultimately can control how we think to a a degree, I'm learning this through meditation etc,"

"yeh its not as black & white had having a heart problem. the brain is a very complex thing, small chemical imbalances can change mood. there must be triggers to the problem though? and outside influences that make it worse. i think what Joe is suggesting is removing those triggers or influences from your life where possible."

"goose 4:17 Tue Jan 14 I think one useful distinction between 'feeling a bit low' and clinically depressed is that if you are suffering clinical depression you are not in full logical control of your thoughts. You can't just switch the low mood off. I would suggest that if the depressed patient could do this, they would. Many depressed people can control their actions, sometimes with a huge effort. It doesn't mean they aren't suffering with depression though."

"Royal, you run away because you couldn't handle it. Probably for the best your relationship with her didn't work out as you clearly didn't give a fuck about her and that her messing you around ""wasn't actually her"". Shows the level of a human you are."

Block That’s exactly what I’m saying . Took me 8 years to realise but yes.

"Niblets 4:12 Tue Jan 14 Re: Anxiety/depression Exactly , I could have bleated about it or got out of it , guess what I chose ? Now life is great , I’m sat in a bar in Agra and tour Europe with the biggest bands in the world. Life treats you how you allow yourself to be treated."

"joe royal 4:02 Tue Jan 14 So you couldn't handle it, which is what you're saying?"

Bungo it depends to what extent brain function (thoughts) can be controlled by the individual. even if you are having 'those thoughts' you are still in control of your actions??

"So you let a bird use you as her punchbag, you got dumped twice a month, yet she had three kids not yours? And you drove for Tesco? No offence royal, but you sound like a right fucking weapon."

"Strange how some on here seem to struggle with the concept of an organ in the body functioning less than perfectly. Perhaps heart, lung, kidney diseases etc could also be pushed aside or overcome if the sufferer just 'pulled themself together'?"

"Block Maybe they do not need a safe space , can work 40+ hours a week and can blow their own nose. Having been with a girl that had depression so she dumped me every month and twice a month if there was a full moon , but when asked if she was so low with black dogs/clouds etc how did she get 3 kids off to school , washed dressed and breakfast ? “Because I have to” “So if you have to do something then you can ? I’m just a punchbag ? Er......... So forgive me if I do not sympathise with this."

What a surprise the prized cunts on this site in Kenzo and Vexed are totally ignorant to this.

It has all the atmosphere of a movie set. Even McDonalds is quiet in the evening.

"what do you mean?? its got a john lewis, what more could you want? Tesco though, is in the middle of nowhere so you tend to stay on 'campus'."

"goose 2:19 Tue Jan 14 I was in Plus.. Was only there a couple of months. Company seemed ok, but my own circumstances weren't ideal, including a long trek every morning. But jeez what a dull town."

bruuuno 2:56 Tue Jan 14 Did her dumping you cheer you up?

"I lost my job last year in shitty circumstances, a few days afterwards I opened up to my mrs of three years about how shit I felt about it all. I’ve never opened up or showed vulnerability to anyone else in my life as I’ve always been taught to man up and keeps a brave face. Two days later she dumped me. Lesson learnt!"

"Yeah, I’m feeling a bit down Captain, I know we’re due to go over the top at 6am tomorrow morning but do you mind awfully if I sit this one out... Do you mind if I don’t form square Sgt, feeling a bit under the weather, I’m sure you can beat Napoleon without me... Those Heinkels are giving me a bit of a sad on Group Captain, if you want me I’ll be wanking in that sanger at the end of the runway don’t fancy it this afternoon.... FOMB!!!"

"Kaiser son, I’d definitely be suicidal if I followed someone around a football messageboard because they hurt my feelings at some stage. There but for the grace of god go I, eh?"
