Depression

[BlueHammer85]

Thx replys.

Don't think I'm clinically depressed just been down and moody for so long now. Nothing interests me much, footvall, music,TV, going out etc. Just not interested.

I'm keeping my exercise going and I know that is a help. The initial feeling after is a nice feeling, then im back to my usual slump after

Maybe natural getting older, 30 this year, having to start from scratch after splitting from gf, I take comfort in the fact life can't get much worse than these last few months.

It'd hard to define depression from feeling down or low... there is a difference as some people remain depressed regardless of other factors. My Mum had a long period of being severely depressed she still suffers at times now. Anti-depressants helped to a level... but not completely. She needs constant re-assurance and when she doesn't work she suffers more because of the amount of time on her hands.

I've had periods of feeling really down and really low but generally can get over that with work/social events etc.

Talking about things helps 100%

You're not, it's always good to hear how you're getting on, ups and downs.

Things will come good again mark, hope you're ok. X

Was in a similar situ bud a few years ago.
Speak to mates even if it is just a text a day, otherwise you become so detached you feel unworthy of being a member of society at all.
If you need to chat boss about anything pm me mate. I can chat shit for England.

Does it ever go away ?

Not sure if serious... But yes. Had a couple of years in the wilderness, all well now. I wouldn't have come on here banging on about it like some posters tho. JOTS comes to mind. When I was down, the last thing I wanted was a fucking audience.

I'll be completely honest with you here, Aphex. This post upset and disappointed me and that was me mainly directing that at myself because I thought, 'You know what, that guy's correct. Loads of people go through similar things without resorting to banging on on the internet or attention seeking'. But you misunderstand the reasons for my posts. I simply post what I feel because I can and because it helps. I'm not looking for 'There theres' or 'Ah blesses'. It's what's happening and not enough people report it in places like this. I don't want an audience or heaven forbid a soapbox, I just want to report what's going on. If that doesn't interest you, don't read it. Cheers and all the best.

Fair enough. People do things in different ways and I was ignorant to think otherwise. No hard feelings from me.

JOTS I lve enjoyed reading your posts knowing what's going on with you etc and hopefully will meet at some point. Aphex I've met you and thought you were an ok bloke thought your post was a bit harsh and out of character? Some ppl get help from sharing some ppl prefer to keep it private but each to his own
