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"

Blokes have lost their balls these days , I wasn’t happy working for Tesco , I changed it, the ex wanted to move to oxford , I didn’t . No point in being unhappy , life is to short. You have no understanding of the causes of depression and anxiety. In fact your simplistic solution would simply exacerbate the situation for most adult men and probably drive them further towards those dark places."

[Toe Rag]

All head shrinkers learned all there is to know about their professions off a load of random pissed cunts on WHO. I thought this was widely known?

[Hefty Bill]

Maybe all the psychiatrists psychologists should fuck off and do a bit of driving for Tesco’s for a few days and then readjust all their understanding and thinking on depression Every little helps

"joe royal 10:38 Tue Jan 14 Serious question - do you as an adult human, still think that being unhappy or miserable about something is the same as depression? If you do, do you not think that the psychiatry profession may have stumbled across this revelation at some point, and could cure all depression by just suggesting that all their patients 'cheer up a bit'?"

"Fucking TESCO ffs. Unreal, that."

"joe, depression is not caused by any one external thing, it's endogenous in nature"

"Dinosaur maybe ,but if you don’t like something change it - if it makes you unhappy stop doing it. Find the trigger and change it . I’m off sightseeing at the Taj Mahal now ."

[Hefty Bill]

"CBE, spot on. Royal, if only everyone was like you. You're a pioneer."

"joe royal 4:58 Tue It isn't splitting hairs. Being depressed at something is just a mood. Depression is an illness. Not everyone is prone to it, and those who are not will find it difficult to grasp."

"You're very good at articulating with these sort of subjects, far better than i am. I always end up coming across completely the wrong way. So, help the young chap, Griffles son x"

"Tom, talking about it with your family/friends ill help you get your feelings off your chest. I read something that Anxiety is brought on often by unresolved issues and depression is brought on by things that have happened to you in the past which you haven't dealt with. It's difficult to advise you on what to do most people can only speak from their own experiences, meditation, writing down everything I'm grateful for cutting out coffee, drink,drugs all massively helped me but others found exercise to be a massive help."

[Mike Oxsaw]

"A couple of common themes that seem to tie this subject together with all the different people involved is one of helplessness, and that of being alone in trying to manage the situation. These seem to be deep rooted in people's psyche - almost as if owning up to these problems is admitting to being some kind of ""failure"" in life, when, in fact, the complete opposite is the truth; to accept that you have a problem and are prepared to ask for help rather than ""big it out alone"" is one of the biggest and bravest decisions someone can make - and it will most likely turn out to be one of the best decisions that person makes, too. I don't think I've been anywhere near as deep into this as many (on here) clearly have, but is doesn't mean that the problem doesn't exist (or that I will continue to be immune from it). By comparison, my ""Dark places"" are mere twilight when I read some of the comments. Is posting on a site like this the ""best"" place to raise the subject? Given how prevalent and all-pervading it seems to be, than I think the answer is a resounding ""Yes!"", and leave it to others to display their own embarrassment at discussing the subject. Pigeon holes are for pigeons."

"If you're getting help with this sounds like you're on the right track.I've been there too and found getting the right help , drugs if needed and being kind to yoursel is all good."

"""Dump the job if you don’t like it , dump the bird if she is moaning . Have a holiday , just do what you want to do , not what’s expected of you."" Yep, for a married man with kids and a mortgage, losing your home, getting divorced and fighting a custody battle will be, by far, the best way to cure anxiety and depression. Great advice."

"Supposedly things are better and we speak more than we used to but yet Anxiety and depression are sadly too common in society. I suffer with these problems even with a brilliant loving family around me. I too have had ridiculous thoughts but I believe that to be my brain turning into a diva ball buster. The best thing you can do many have told you in the comments is see a therapist and talk, and that failing ask your doc to prescribe pills which do help many although everyone reacts differently to them."

[kylay]

"Best advice I can give is to find a therapist and don't be afraid to shop around until you find someone you work well with. It doesn't work if you can't connect. It's really time consuming and costly. It's not linear or straightforward. Reasons for depression are as varied as the people who suffer from it, so there is no ""answer"" for it. There's only recognizing how you relate to others and yourself and that awareness can create space in your mind instead of feeling trapped there."

"Split hairs as much as you like , the principle still stands."

[Cheezey Bell-End]

That's being depressed about something. That's not depression.
