Hi Eggs,

 

Sorry to hear this, but dont take pills - they only benefit the doctors that push em.

 

Try and do stuff that makes you feel good, look at things in a positive light, go for walks in the country, etc etc as per SkyH: When I am down I find physical exercise really helps, there are many days when I really don't feel like getting out of bed and going to work, but once I'm on site, up a tree, I feel 100% better.

 

Thats always going to make you feel good

 

Spring is on the way & the clocks go forward soon so that is always a good thing.

 

& let rip with your 395 that should be good therapy

Love this post ❤️

Eggs, although my God fearing country bred Mother, never actually expressed it as such, I believe her innate belief was "life is not meant to be easy", and so she kept her chin up and carried on.

Or, indeed, despite my depressive moments, I have commented;

"Iffen anybody decided to shoot at me, I ud probably do my best to run"

i.e. I am definately NOT sucidal/ life is not THAT bad, yet.

So, be thankful & soldier on.

PS

Just back from the pub, where ;

(a) one bloke has bin chucked out of his v recently deceased partners home after 30+ years, like 3 days after she was buried.

(b) Another bloke was grieving ( as in, tears running down his cheeks) over the recent self inflicted death of a 44 year old Son.

So, indeed, my/our life is pretty good!

regards

Marcus

So sad ?

Indeed, and shamefully I cannot remember the name of the bloke who was thrown out of his so recently deceased partners home.

I've scrapped with the black dog for decades. Tried allsorts, training, working, fighting, drinking.
Raving helped in my twenties.
The most important thing I found/find, is to keep doing things. Even if it's just emptying an ashtray. Depression isn't a joke, but there's always a tomorrow and it might just be better.

Mark, I too finally figured out and accepted that simply by starting to mindlessly tidy up, or sort buckets of (swept up from the floor at work ) nuts, bolts, screws and nails was indeed its own therapy.

And yes, there will be a day ahead when things look so much brighter.

Harsh as it may be, but times I listen and I dont care, nay I may even think to myself "well, what the fcuk did you expect to happen, so suck it up!"

MarkJ will attest to this facet of my character.
