@chopsfc007 if you're physically fit and healthy I'm a massive fan of parkrun. 5km round the local park and whilst it's called parkrun you can walk all the way. Two bird's with one stone a bit of exercise and a bit of company. If you walk at the back there's a thing called a tailwalker which means noone ever comes last (they do) and they'll chat to you on the way round.

Sounds corny but as someone else said, you’re not alone at a Sunderland match pal. Just crack on with someone, the town and ground is a very friendly place and I love that you can just have crack on with a stranger about owt or nowt.

Perhaps Parkrun not the best suggestion by me then . if you feel like you could do with some company then have you thought about the men's groups....is there manhealth and Andy's man cave off the top of my head. I'm sure someone will know.
Judging by tonight's performance the match won't so much good for yours or anyone else's mental wellbeing .

Forgot high blood pressure I'm only 33 as well, haven't heard of man health but have thought about looking into Andy's man club, we think the breathing problems might be panic attacks I was told to use my inhaler by the doctor but I know my body n that wasn't helping.

But apart from that!!!!!!!

I am starting to get a little anxious. Have many many years under my belt to recognise the signs.

I am starting to find it hard to regulate my emotions.
Turning to unhealthy coping mechanisms
Working hard to distract myself but the realisation I am distracting myself is triggering and making me anxious.

Time to think about intervention. Luckily (or unluckily), I have a file as thick as a pit prop that details many many years of interventions, therapy, treatment, medicine etc so I can usually access help quickly. Just need to try to avoid a total meltdown and start working towards wellness again.

We are all survivors and we are all working hard to keep our head above water.

I actually seen a councillor but after 2 sessions I was told I'm negative and they went on the sick anyway

Aww man. Didn't realise. Interesting you say that though....

In my case, with hindsight I saw this latest bout coming from early December.

Did bugger all about it. But actually what can you do? I tried to battle on, brave face, -that's what we're taught/ expected to do eh?

I need to get wiser though somehow. You say you can access help quickly? Am curious what form if you don't mind me asking

 

[CPLforever]

Don't you think it is funny @de Ruyter I always think I come on here and my main advice, peice of wisdom is distract yourself and here I am saying my attempts to distract myself are making me anxious

Giving you an ironic funny laugh emoji

You said that very thing this morning

And yes get that, first time I felt calm all day was to head back to bed early! My distraction techniques were shite as well so now am messing about on here again as a distraction

Sometimes we do little about it cos we think don't worry I will get over this. It's just a blip, I'll pull myself together, I have been through many many hours of interventions, therapy, this has given me the tools to cope with this. Then none of this brings you back, you find yourself in crisis and....meltdown.

Luckily (or unluckily) I have a decades long history of aforementioned meltdowns so when I do get to the point where I have to have outside help it is usually given to me sharpish.

I don't overreact, I am not at the Dr's or seeking medical intervention every 5 minutes. My G.P. practice is really good (had the same couple for years) so when I have to approach them for help I usually get it.

My first instict is usually to look at medication. It gives me a sort of baseline, it helps me to continue functioning.

I know a lot of people don't like medication but I believe it helps me. Once I can sort of calm myself self down and function. Function being the operative word we can then concentrate on what else is going on, but it is important to be able to function, to articulate, not spiral out of control and be able to tell people how I am feeling. This can be hard.

Even though your a pain in the arse on the cricket thread (it’s a joke)

Your more than welcome to come stand with us in the south stand for the hull game we have a spare seat

Ah just seen the games, hope ya get sorted.



Back on mental health I’m having a shit time with anxiety and paranoia had to speak to some team for help thinking everyone wants to ruin my life

Get the same comments drug use no
Drink rarely

So they now have to look into it

Feeling lonly as fuck too just doesn’t feel great, I feel isolated even though I’ve got people around me

So sorry mate , I think they ask drink/drug related just to get you passed somewhere else (which is a pisstake most the time).
For me at times it was I getting passed from pillar to post and felt like nobody wanted to help.

Very much so. Was going to ring someone this morning off the back of a monumental panic attack but all I could think was 'who' and it's probably just going to make things worse

Sounds negative but best case someone will talk to me, someone might come out, they'll check I'm not suicidal, be on their way, and say ring your GP tomorrow

Eurgh

Honestly it does my head in mate , are you suicidal at the minute you say no and they just go. No wonder suicide is rife as not enough done about it.
Told you about our lasses cousin and she said she was suicidal when they came out but still took 3 days to get her sectioned .
