Sorry to hear that. Come on here and go mad at people. Any interaction can be a good thing so even 30 people calling you every name under the sun can be a cheering thing. It works for a few on here.

The fine line between cheering yourself up and getting yourself banned eh?
I reckon a decent Paint/Photoshop thread'd see me right ... I might go and give Warnock/Pardew etc a hairdo

I've felt low on and off for a few years now since being diognosed with quite a severe medical condition. I've battled on without any help but at the start of this year it got too much and I went to the doctors, had a chat with the doctor and was prescribed medication. Medication seemed to work and I had a spell of feeling 'ok'

Over the past few months the old feelings have started to return though(not sleeping, crying for no reason, no interest in anything or anyone, suicidal thoughts) There is many factors in this whole episode that contribute to how I'm feeling, Stressfull Job that I hate, Debt, Medical condition and the stresses of providing for a young family. However I'm making the first steps to sort debt out which in turn will lead to a way out of the job I hate.

Not really sure why I'm posting this on here, suppose I just want to let it out. Sorry for boring you to death :)

You did not bore me, mate. Having a young family is really stressful. Look at those rich ones that have nannies. However, when the child care bills come in it gets stressful and even more so, and the added cost of x y and z. Financial stress can lead to sleepless nights, resentment and others.

The only thing that really helped me, apart from talking, and I have been off tablets since the summer, was getting out and walking and also being upfront and honest with people and saying that I have been in a bad place. I'm finding this post difficult and am pausing quite often. Few moments of head in hands and that.

I'm on an upward curve at the minute. Just had a fantastic holiday with my family. Nothing flash, but it was a holiday and it did the soul good. I don't think the thoughts I had for two years every day. In fact, those thoughts have left since I talked to a therapist. Talking is really good, but if you are in a bad place I would recommend it is to someone who is trained.

Black dog is still there for me. Been around me since I was a teenager if I am being honest. Don't hide it anymore. I feel comfortable with saying to people around me that the black dog is here if I seem moody or whatever. Does not wash when Sunderland get beat. Boss still expects a shift. Court in Europe wants to hear about that mind. Me, struggling on;). However, I feel like I can cope with it now (not with Sunderland getting beat mind). I can only do that because I talked to professional people
 
Thanks everyone, it means an awful lot.

I've got a brilliant doc for a change now so hopefully I'll get sorted soon. For anyone who knows about bipolar or is interested at all, I'm currently in something called a 'mixed state'. The shorthand version is that I'm depressed & manic all at the same time, it is so tiring!
