Depression

[topchippyles]

Merry christmas to you all guys i think i can say that now we are 3 weeks away.

 

I wanted to share this as been getting so down lately and chin wagging on here is always fun,

 

I know eggs suffers a lot with depression and i have looked for the thread but nothing comes up on my search.

 

The last couple of months i have been getting horrendous days even thinking about doing silly stuff. No matter how hard i try it will not shift and consumes my thoughts. 

 

I went to see my Gp a month ago and she put me on some happy pills but they do not seem to kick in as yet.

 

I just felt the need to share it as we suffer in silence and try to be strong.

The tablets take a while to work and sometimes the dosage might need tweaking. Seek a visit with yout GP....be strong for your family and friends, take care Les!

Les sorry to hear you are having a hard time. It's always easy on the outside looking in. Maybe dark days ahead but each day is a step in the right direction. 

I had some troubling times when we had the news of a 3rd sprog in the oven.  I was more than happy with 2 she didn't want to get rid of or couldn't, sorry language a bit coarse,  so I was stuck. A life impacting situation that I had no say over. The other two were off at school, Mrs was back doing what she enjoyed and we were about to go back to the beginning. All I could see were negatives, and each day was dark and heavy. Nobody was in my situation and no amount of talking could change the facts so I just had to take it. Obviously that has been and gone, probably would be easier without a third but stuck with him now. He likes machinery and the like and can be good fun. Enjoys being out on the farm. Three boys, their energy is sky rocketing while mine seems to be plummeting.

Some people find ploughing on with work helps others that's not the case.

 

Good health to ya brutha

Keep strong. You are seeking help so that is positive.

 

Onwards and upwards.

Hi Les . Sorry to hear you are down in the dumps mate . I suppose Welsh rugby is no help ! I got depressed after my bike accident back in 2005 . It was life changing in as much as I could no longer play any sport and when I look back on it I was not a nice person to live with for a while . Gradually I realised its the cards I had been dealt and  got on with life making the best of it . I do hope you can do the same mate . Not much I know but us wallys are always here on the key board matey . You know who we are .
