Depression thread continued...

She didn't talk to me at all (baring a couple of words), you know if someone's interested in you or not. it's the work night out next week so i think i'm better off trying to look away from people i work with..too much pressure. This is something that gets me down anyway and since last month it seems magnified :(

Try and not let it get you down. Don't worry about pressure, you're single, just go and have fun. Speak to her next week and see how it goes.

It's not pressure at the time like, it's after when i've overthought and beat myself up. it's that what gets me.

confidence is key... :lol:

There'll come a quiet time/moment when you could get a chat around to seeing if she'd be tempted to join you for a drink/feed/whatever suits. Do it without anyone around [to minimise personal pressure you feel] then you'll have more of an idea either way. If the response isn't too favourable look elsewhere.

It is, but over confidence can be off putting.

I should really but just don't feel I'm quite at that point to talk to her yet, want to get myself sorted before I add to her own worries

I've self banned myself, just easy to walk into a bookies. Reported my card lost to get me through the weekend and aiming to go to a class next week one night as a first step. Feel a bit better today in that I haven't let it spiral to a point where my life is ruined but need to use that as motivation to sort it out once and for all

How are you doing?
 
I know a number of us have been talking about autism, including me. I came across this meme about Santa Caluse that I thought would make you all smile.

Some fair points mind you. I had to cross out a certain word as we all know Santa is a massive Sunderland fan.

On a serious note, although tongue in cheek the below is a good list of typical autism symptoms.

I am 46 and it has been a festival of materialism for every single one of my years. Once I stopped believing in God I found it much easier to ignore it and be at peace.

I’m slightly different I accepted that Christmas has nothing to do with god or religion and is the pagan festival of welcoming back the sun. Christanity simply pinched it. It was on one of those What is Christmas programs that Jesus was born in April.
 
First time I've posted on here, don't think I've ever been depressed, but probably just feeling really down with no enthusiasm!

Mainly due to the divorce that has taken over 2 years, and taken alot out of me, would of felt worse without the support of my girlfriend and family.

Well, there is light at the " end of the tunnel " should be all sorted by Christmas or just after 🙏

Thought I was going to lose my house at one stage back in may, everything I built up gone, I was ill off work for a few days, that's the closest I've been to depression and I feel for anyone that has it as an illness, please just talk, I did and it's helped.

Got a new solicitor and future looks alot better, hopefully 2025 will be the enthusiasm I get back for everything 🙏

Not far off being sectioned again I feel can see it crumbling

Try to speak to someone medical so you can stay above it, you've recognised your signs. Contact who you know seeing as you said again, it's what they're there for. CPNs you've dealt with will help.

Have asked for help this week with nothing, crisis team are crap at the moment.

I’ve been sectioned a few times for my own safety and I’ve worked so hard to get away from it I know the signs but no one will help

Are you currently on meds?. Try to get your moods stabilised then you can concentrate on getting physically well. Reach out to mental health services immediately, hopefully they talk you down a bit and remove the need to be sectioned.

Morning, I'm ok, well not really but I'm calmer than last night. I'm just really struggling at the moment and last night was the lowest I've been for a long long time. I couldn't stop crying and ended up hurting myself (not dangerously but enough to leave marks) which I didn't think I'd ever do again. 😔 I feel so sad about it today. How do I explain that to mini reindeer if she sees? 😭
