The depression thread

Hey joe, the fact that you are talking about having a tough day etc… on this forum is a fantastic sign that you are trying to deal with this, it’s actually half the battle,
Do you mind me asking how exactly do you feel? Are you overwhelmed or feeling lonely or something like that,

I hope you kicked that dog in the bollocks.

A bollock for a bollock

Just to clarify… Ah never mind

You don’t have do do them all at once, you don’t have to do any of them- although most people are a mess unless they’re busy. It sounds like you’re trying to manage someone else’s expectations?

I left my job a few months back. Haven’t found anything consistent since that I’ve liked.

I sound stupid

If everyone in the room put their problems on the table you’d be glad to walk out with your own.

Joe I did a personal development course last year to compliment another course that I’m trying to complete, I can tell you I was in a class of nearly 20 people and was dreading going because I thought that they would judge me with all my so called problems, well I can tell you that most of these people were professionals in well paying jobs, most had they’re own house, nice car, wife/husband and kids etc… seemed to have it all, they didn’t, some of my so called problem paled into insignificance with some of the stories I heard. Everyone has issues, doubts, insecurities and so on but most people will never say it, i think everyone knows of someone who took their own life and couldn’t understand why as they seemed to have it all, sadly that’s not the case,
Anyways that personal development course was fantastic as it gave me a 3hr space every week to be with a group of people who all had doubts and issues but were able to unburden themselves equally without fear of being judged, I’d highly recommend it

I have a little story to add if ye don’t mind,
I knew a guy from a very well to do family who had mental health issues all his life, had serious ups and downs and was always having some drama. But he also used to volunteer in the community with homeless people and so on, well this guy died suddenly a few years back at a fairly young age. His older brother who was a wealthy high flyer type stood up to say a few words at his memorial and told a story of how he had a phone call with his younger brother and was barraging him for how he was a waster and how useless he was and how he should be doing this that and tother and finally said what have you done with your life? Silence on the the other end for a few seconds until eventually the younger brother simply said “I help people” . The older brother said those 3 words made him look at his perspective in life and how he’d always be grateful for that,
true story btw
