It may well be. I've no doubt there are a massive amount of different forms of anxiety. I would never dismiss anyone's personal anxiety though, as being less important to another persons. 
Hopefully, you are not always unable to leave the house to buy milk. So yours seems to come and go? Not sure how often. Do you have any idea why it's sometimes an issue, and sometimes not? I'm more use to the permanent version, but mine is nothing to do with buying milk. Mines also easily avoided, and I'm a master of doing that. Probably taking the easy way out, but at least I can live with that! 

Yes. Not bad considering he'd been out on the tiles all night! 

I think this is spot on, I'm not a doctor though but I see "some" mental health issues more as personality traits.
Take anxiety for example, anxiety is essentially nerves, not a single person that never gets nervous about something, anxious, birth of a child, getting married. Some people are just more nervous than others and those that hit the extreme levels where it effects your day to day life are awarded with the anxiety diagnosis.
If it does effect your day to day life of course it's an issue, it just irritates me slightly how large this mental health issue umbrella is.
Medication can suppress the nerves, some people really need that helping hand, but I don't, and remember I'm not a doctor, think they will ever cure you without a lot of other work within yourself. Training yourself not to be nervous is no easy task.
Depression is the extreme levels of sadness, work, family, lifestyle, loads of things that can just snowball on top of you and drag you into depression. The problem with depression is it's not always easy to identify the route cause and even if you can theres not always a simple solution.
Some people are able to brush off anything and solider on with life, robot like, it's just the way we're designed.
In a way I'm grateful for my experience with little personal trait, anxiety, if I meet someone new I will almost assess them, get a feel for who they are before revealing myself. Take the Moor Farm meets with members, they will all probably describe me as shy, quiet, I was simply assessing who they are really as that's my default behaviour, even though I kinda had a feel for them online, face to face is a bit different. My humour can be quite cutting at times, on the wrong person that could be quite damaging.
Someone that floats through life with ease may never understand others and could miss out on valuable friendships and relationships with good people.
Waffling now, but the aim of the game whilst we are here is happiness, just be happy, forget about chasing a magic cure to "fix you" we're all unique.....thankfully, have our little quirks. If those quirks do impact your life in a negative way as I've always said in this thread, talk to people, anyone that will offer an ear, it's good to talk, and getting things off your chest, realising it's not just you can be a huge help, and in some cases help figure out the root causes which might be possible to make changes which in turn will improve your life into being more manageable.
Tell you what @Moist One, this is a ducking blinding thread you created. On a forum that's full of puns and piss taking, to have this little unjudegmental sanctuary on the internet is one of this forums greatest achievements. 

Jim Walker the forgotten man
As many of you know I have been for the last 18 months meeting up with the old brigade, the proper DCFC legends, the ones that put us on the map in footballing terms, the ones that made us the best team in England and got us to the European Cup semi finals, the teams of 71/72 and 74/75.
It started off as way to spend time with my Dad who was a bit lost after the loss of my mum, he is a season ticket holder now and was back in the day so I started off out on a journey that has lead us to meet most of them, one of them remains elusive and one didn’t wish to participate.
All of them have been fantastic, eager to tell stories of the great Brian Clough and the amazing fortunes of Derby County who in those bleak years of three day weeks, power blackouts, strikes and Rolls Royce nearly going under taking thousands of local jobs with it gave the people of Derby something to be proud of.
Upon meeting one of those legends, Jim Walker I was particularly struck by how at peace he was with the world, very relaxed, very friendly and by far the best story teller of them all.
Jim had not long ago lost his wife to illness so immediately him and my dad had something in common other than the love of football, he made us very welcome and gave us an open invite to go round when ever to continue with the tales.
Now most people may remember Jim as the guy who was signed by Clough & Taylor from non league football to play for Derby County and was a major part of the team that won promotion from division two in 1968/69.
He lost his place in the team to John Mcgovern but captained the reserves and stepped in when required to cover injuries of suspensions, this meant that he played only a few games in the 1971/72 season but it was his goal in a 1-0 win against Crystal Palace in late march that gave Derby both points and if you remember we won the league and finished first above dirty Leeds who were just one point behind and had a greater goal difference, so in effect Jim scored the goal that won us the First Division Championship.
Aswell as a footballer Jim is probably better known as the Aston Villa physio, he was there for around twenty years and served under many managers including Graham Taylor, Ron Atkinson, Brian Little and John Gregory, he was also the man charged with looking after Paul McGrath for many years both on and off the pitch and is spoken of in very high regard in Pauls autobiography.
He had a private practice at the Belfry for the golfers and was also the go to man at the NEC when any pop stars suffered an injury or needed attention from a physio, he worked with George Michael, Elton John, Neil Diamond, Michael Hutchence and Kylie to name a few hence him having so many fantastic stories.
Jim has also had illnesses this however does not dampen his spirit or take a smile from his face.
One thing that I was amazed to hear that Jim did not receive a medal for winning the league title despite being only one of sixteen players in that 71/72 season to have donned the shirt and scoring such a valuable goal.
When ever you see the pictures of the team celebrating and holding up their medals jim does not have one.
I approached Andy Ellis the club historian and the writer of many Derby County books and the fount of all knowledge and he confirmed it.
So we the approached the club and asked if they would support an application to Gordon Taylor of the PFA to ask if he would inturn support an application to the football league to present Jim with the medal that he should have received 46 years ago.
The club agreed and they sent the letter to Gordon Taylor who gave it his blessing and the approach was then made to the football league, this was back in February this year after the ball was started rolling in June of 2017 so it took a while.
I am delighted to say that the agreement was given and Derby County approached the very same jewellers who had made the original ones to make one for Jim, to the exact specifications of the original medals and in the same box and made from 9ct gold with all of the hall marks.
For some reason the club at this time can not be seen to publicly present Jim with the medal which is a great sadness as I thought that he was going to be able to step out on the pitch at Pride Park on the opening home game against Leeds (quite fitting as he stopped them winning the league with his goal), it is a litigious matter so I will comment no further other than to say that they did everything that they could.
So to wrap up the story I had the great honour of going to Jims house today with my dad and my son and presenting him with his long overdue medal, he had no idea that it was coming and to say that he was over whelmed is an understatement.
It was great to see his face and to have the privilege to do something like that, I had the medal at my house for a while but obviously didn’t want to post any pictures until now as it was a secret.
Not very often that you get to present a league championship winning medal on behalf of Derby County and to one of the few from those great days and can be called the legends.
We are hoping that Jim will still be able to have amore public presentation at sometime in the season at Pride Park when what ever issues are resolved.
Up the Rams !!
 

Never had mental health issues and I don’t have them now. But just found out some terrible family news that will change everything I’ve ever known. Going to be extremely difficult to adjust to. Posting on here as this forum has some great people.

I left my epilepsy pills in my jeans pocket last week, when they went in the washing machine. 
Now my jeans don't fit. 

I'll be in Darkest Dorset in a few weeks time. Christchurch, Weymouth, Bournemouth, anywhere really. Any restaurant recommendations appreciated!
