I confided in an aunt a few weeks ago, she was a bit upset that I'd gone through a rough period alone, and very upset with my mother, who I have no relationship with whatsoever. A few days passed and my aunt's daughter (my cousin) sent me a lengthy text about her husband, who I really admire, but haven't seen for a while, going through a really really rough period. She echoed a lot of the advice given in here, and that thankfully, her husband is getting better. I'd like to think I'd come through the roughest part with the introduction of more regular exercise, and knowing I can vent on here without criticism for it. Hope you do find the first step again @SaintRam, your contribution to this thread has been noted and appreciated I can assure you. Just heard Mostyn talking about this towards the end of the most recent podcast and thought what he said on footballers' depression was interesting. Wasn't it our former boss John Gregory who absolutely laid into Stan Collymore once because he was depressed? Anyway, just thought I might also bump this back up after discussion on the pod. Hope everyone who posted on this thread is doing well! Mostyn6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope everyone who posted on this thread is doing well! It's a big problem at least here in Finland that media keeps doing bits about celebrities who are "depressed" but after a week vacation in France or Spain they are fine. The people who have the disease called depression however have no hope of getting better like that. Those who are lucky enough not to know the difference seem very eager to make judgements on the matter though. And it ain't helping anybody. Collymore was just one of the many victims in that category. SantosHalper and rhysbeck 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mafiabob Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Having a quiet week off Twitter this week... Certain festival going off and it sets off me remembering bad times in my head and wishing I could change the past... Feeling a little low but I'm good.

I like to create my own entertainment and poke fun at myself and my alias in here and on twitter etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love a laugh and I don't care if it's at my own expense, people take life far too seriously, really love talking to people in general... There's plenty of kind strangers out there... Talked to and met some wonderful folk.. So finding it a little hard this week to not be on there. Got to think of myself though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you feel low, think how low you'd feel after a bad time at said certain festival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collymore was just one of the many victims in that category. The idea that having loads of money and adoring fans means that you're unlikely or less likely to suffer from depression is part of a wider problem, although I must admit that even I'm sometimes led to think, "Oh, poor guy, he must be so unhappy in his massive mansion and model girlfriend". It's really terrible of me to think that. A year or so ago I dated a girl who flat-out denied that depression even existed, and that people "just feeling sad" should pull their socks up and get themselves sorted out. No amount of arguing or pointing to solid evidence would convince her otherwise -- she just saw my condition as a moral failing on my part, and that's what people who are lucky enough not to suffer from it need to be encouraged to realise. I wasn't so upset when that relationship ended! rynny and Cisse 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to get in to complaining about people or types of people too intensely as I'm not really the type, but I just wanted to say that I would find that impossible to deal with lol Don't even know how I would react, but I would definitely react. I was going to write something about my personal situation currently just to add to the overall discussion and get it out there but having spent far too long staring at this, fingers over the keyboard yet unable to type anything, I'll just leave it at this. lol.

Sometimes it is good to type it to get it out, even if you don't click submit, just the relief of it not being kept in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintRam Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I've been getting into/returning to some more creative pastimes and it's helping, especially with my general outlook. Still finding it nigh impossible to talk myself into going anywhere where I think I'll come across a crowd though, that's gotten a lot worse recently.

LesterRam Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Has anybody suffered from trying to sleep and how they overcome this, suffering a new low recently and trying to nod off and stay asleep is becoming very hard, even picked up sleep apnea which is frightening, I wake up and have major panic attacks.

Is it about sheer numbers? I've no problem with large crowds, but am useless with small ones! I'd be fine in a 100,000 crowd at a game or a gig, but there is no way I would walk into the Brunny.
