j j m 6,481 Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 its a awfull thing to have got a mate going through a bad time at the moment i can only be there for him when he needs some one to talk to,but why do these doctors fill them with tablets that seem to send them like zombies its not the answere,has any one else really been bad with it and what got you through it,i know a lot of people do actually take there own lives the brain is a funny thing one minute you can be on top of the world the next your out of the game,ive been lucky ive always been fit and healthy but i will always be there for any friend in need 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dare 1,103 Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 Keeping busy and giving myself something to look forward too helped me. Everyone feels down now and then that's just life. Many through around the word depressed just when feeling that way. Only once ill say I've been depressed and was horrible. Don't think or act like the real you and cause its an illness people can't see they don't seem to understand it as much. Worst thing for me was being alone with my own thoughts and feeling stuck. Got offered pills but refused em read some bad side affects can't remember the name of em. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

richie1984 191 Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 I suffer with it and alls the doctors want to do is pill you up that's not for me.as dare said keeping himself busy and having things to look forward to really helps alot.worse things to do are mope around and evenu worse is to drink as that's a depressant.exercise helps me alot getting out with the dogs and ferrets just things like that.it's a terrible thing to have but my misses and mates snap me out of it.I feel for your mate I really do get him out and about doing something he likes show him it's not all doom and gloom and he's got people that care about him.all the best mate and hope he's well soon 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post Pink or stink 162 Posted November 15, 2014 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 Two months ago I would have said something completely different to what I am saying now. I contracted viral meningitis back then which has left me clinically depressed and on Citalopram tablets to try and bring me up. I have a severe case of meningitis and I am not the man I am or the one everyone knows. I used to be sharp, an executive on 45K a year and now I struggle to remember what I did half hour ago. I'm scared to go back to work where I have 28 people reporting to me and I don't remember how to log on to my computer. Someone mentioned dogs? I went beating today and at lunch I was surrounded by the dogs and only the dogs, lot's of them and I am here to say that for the first time in months my smile came back. No talk, no chatter about high birds, cover crop or game loads etc, just a fabulous few minutes with these silent partners. There's gotta be something in that. 25 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
