Depression is not about feeling sad or a bit low. It is a mental illness that ruins your life. Take all the help you can get, and this site is actually a great source of help.

Anything such as a place like messageboards like this that allows a place to outpour, grief, get things of your chest etc is great for it I've found (as my last post noted), and along with all others that have posted. Although it is more often than not the hardest thing to say "I'm not ok" - modern life somewhat conditions us to not allow us to show ourselves feeling in a low light imo, having a place to put your thoughts on a page with thousands of strangers can be easier than telling your loved ones, best mates and such, in my own experiences at times just the thought of saying that to say family members brought me down, until I eventually did.
 

Didn't want to get out of bed this morning, work seems to dragging me down recently. I had thoughts of stabbing myself but I don't think I could do it accurately enough.

It's worrying me I've been here before I've had attempts, one really close one, I'm taking my anti depressants doing what the doc says exercise cutting out drink but I still feel like this.

How long have you been on your medication? Whatever your on might not be working by the sound of things so it might be best to go back to the doctors and tell them you're feeling like this so they can review your meds.

give these time to work mate, how long you been on them?
 
I'm gonna check my shifts when I get into work and try to get an appointment. I'm at graft now, I probably should stop being such a fanny and just get on with it.

don't do anything daft marra. I recently lost a family member to suicide and my overwhelming feeling is that he could have bent any one of our ears for absolutely anything. good luck.

Definitely get that appointment made, if the medication was having a positive affect before then it might be solved by simply having the dose adjusted. You've got loads of us who care pet :)

I've been fairly unsettled myself for a while, still resisting medication etc. All the excitement at the moment doesn't help, my moods are all over the shop with it.

I'm being monitored by the docs & they're supporting me well, as are my family. I'm bipolar so it's not as simple as just getting anti depressants, the side effects of the medication I get are sometimes as debilitating as the condition itself. I'm not daft though, if I get so bad that I need them I'll take them in a heartbeat.

fair play, best of luck with it, you sound like you have a good perspective on it.
 
Phoned doctors they tried to give me an appointment in two weeks told them that wouldn't be any good.
She told me as it wasn't an emergency that's all they had, I rang back an hour later got one for Wednesday

Good lad.
 
Fella down the road says he's got depression, he's persuaded the GP to sign him off because he's got depression, his marriage is bust (completely his fault, cant keep his cock in his pants) and he says this is depressing him. He's 50 and got a back problem (which doesn't stop him doing anything he wants to if he feels like it) and this depresses him. There is more but I'll spare you. He's all over Facebook yakking on about his depression and how people who haven't had it don't understand.

Scuse me pal but I think you have an advanced case of feeling sorry for yourself, not depression....there's a difference. I kind of fancy those with proper depression don't run up and down the street telling all and sundry about it.

Or am I a cynic?

This is an extremely common situation. Refer to my post in suicide thread.
