Depression thread continued...


It worked well for a while, although it did absolutely kill my libido and knocked my energy levels back quite a bit.
I found that. Every SSRI and SNRI does that to me and I end up even more depressed as well as a zombie. The only thing that ever improved me past the short term was trazodone, and being the idiot I am, I stopped taking that (with some difficulty) so that I could take recreational drugs.
 
As daft as it sounds, the losing of my season ticket for the first time in my adult life has had a very negative affect on my mental health. I really looked forward to that once a fortnight meeting of mates, and asking to and from the stadium with my step dad and having a halftime pint with him. I feel fairly adrift of things at the minute - Sunderland was the one thing I got joy from but I feel like I don’t belong, as daft as that sounds any more and aren’t part of things. I’ve been out in Sertraline so hopefully that helps a little.
Pricks like that Kingsmore don’t realise what affect their decisions make.

It's not daft at all, I need the home games as it's a way to help me regulate my emotions; being angry, frustrated, etc I can get it all out in them 90 minutes.

Also the regularity in what can sometimes be a chaotic life will also be missed.
Honestly mate, I feel so isolated without it. It’s all I’ve known every other Saturday for my entire adult life
Is their anyway you can get it back? Something to work on?
 
Why don't you have a season ticket?
I cancelled my daughter’s in April but they cancelled mine as well, which I didn’t realise until June when they’d sold my seat.
Since then, they’ve been unbelievably unhelpful. I’ve had one for 33 years.

I’ve contacted everyone at the club, the Echo, the FSA and Independent Ombudsman - nothing - they keep saying “the system” wont allow it.

Oh that is crap.
 
If you pick a pub to watch the match in tomorrow I'm happy to join you, grab a drink and enjoy the match.
Thanks very much mate, really appreciate it but I’ve arranged to have my daughter tomorrow (who will just be in her room, on the phone to her friends but at least it’s company).

Guessing you've tried Chris waters?
 
I have a mate in a similar boat; had a season ticket for years and this season bought his neice one. He realised too late they weren't sitting together, when contacting the club they couldn't move either of them, but instead of cancelling her ticket they cancelled both.

He's now attending the odd game at South Shields, which the neice is equally enjoying if that's an option for you.
 
@Father Jack Hackett if there is anything that I can do to help in anyway please let me know mate and can SGM not help in anyway. Maybe try and put a bit pressure on the club ?
Thanks very much mate, really appreciate it. I’ve even emailed the ticket office manager back detailing what I’ve said on this thread (which I didn’t particularly want to share) to show how much their mistakes can affect the individual and could easily be rectified. I’ve now given up on this season, I’ve just asked if I can be at the front of the waiting list for next season.
No reply and I’m not expecting one

I’m thinking about wrapping it in completely in favour of Shields like mate
