It goes through cycles. Yesterday was bad but that was my own fault cos I drank too much on Friday night. The panic attacks and anxiety were unreal. Today is better.
Walking and talking are brilliant .

Totally agree mate and pleased your doing OK today , one thing what used to really piss me off is getting told I'm in the wrong when I know I am in the wrong. It just doesn't help pointing the obvious out just makes you feel shittier.

I asked my counsellor chappy around this sort of stuff.

Is it reinforcement? It's easier to say 'you're absolutely shit' or 'youre annoying' than 'keep going' or 'do you need some help?'

He didn't have an answer. Don't think he ever does tbh like

Like how long does these degrees take/cost for the so called professionals. Ask me stick them in the real world for 6 months where they have to live on benefits and a run down estate and see if they have a better perspective in life and what a lot of people go through on a daily basis. Nobody is born saying when I grow up I want to be a drug addict or an alcoholic or suffer from depression where they think the best way out is to kill themselves. Everybody is born with dreams but life just grinds you down sometimes and it's so hard to get out of depression as it's just a horrible vicious circle at times.

100% nailed it.

Was texting a mate yesterday. God knows what planet she exists in. She'd been to a night out and got involved in a conversation about buying property in Spain for profit

Then said to me she lives on a loaf of bread most weeks

I despise my GP. Think he despises me too judging by the occasional conversation.

It's how dare I ask for help so piss off and stop bothering me
..

There's lots of nice people on here. But theres some incredibly horrible folk too

Evening,

The last 8 weeks have been beyond despair.

Like nothing I've ever experienced. And it's been bad before

Where to turn? I haven't a clue. Everyone I try to contact just ignores me or says they have it worse.

Clinging on. I feel like screaming

So I don't and just cry at times

Hi Gaz, @Gazoliver

We have our groups every week mate. 7pm, Wednesday at the beacon of light.

All we will do is listen mate and have a crack on.

Drop me an email at [email protected] if you want to come down for a coffee before and we can have a chat.

Cheers,
James
 
@de Ruyter you have so many people worried mate. You are cared for and loved by so many. You need help it's not a weakness asking for help. I have asked for help so many times and if it wasn't for others I wouldn't be here today . Message when you can and when you feel upto it ❤️ . I have the freeman's this morning but will message as soon as I am back ❤️.
