Discussion & help on depression & mental health related issues

I’ve got so many ailments wrong with me, I try and keep it myself I know a few people know about boring conversations about it all. Woke up with an ear infection(?) that’s impacting both(?) ears. Feels blocked and it’s painful - can bearly hear a thing and I can hear throbbing in my ears.

Getting harder and harder to deal with this bollox.

Do you look after yourself? fruit veg exercise supps etc? That would be my first port of call!

Get better soon mate

So sorry to read you are feeling rotten. Is there a pharmacy near you, they will be able to give you advice re your ears. Please don’t keep everything to yourself, bottling things up is never a good thing. Look after yourself, hope you start to feel better soon. Best wishes.

if anyone wants to talk i’m a DM away

i’ suffer with mental health and im diagnosed. i’ve gone through and some serious stuff. i’ve tried a suicide attempt and survived it, we in life really do get tested

but dont think there is no way out
or no solution or no help there is

i’m not an expert but i think i can give good tips out to people who are in need

please don’t bottle anything up please don’t feel ashamed and please talk

it can get very dark and lonely with our thoughts but they’res always light at the end of the tunnel x

Your wrong Matty, you're an expert in your own life. If you have advice its good to share it. I've been a "psychy" nurse for 27 years and let me tell you, I've learnt and continue to learn from the people I care for all the time. "Please talk" is fantastic advice. If people don't know you're struggling they cant help, and there are lots of people out there with fantastic lived experience. Helping people is great for your own self esteem and confidence. Great post Matty

Keep well everyone and be kind to yourself. Take time to rest and do what is best for you.

You’re right. I’ve become the “unhinged” one who brings the “weird energy”. To the groups of “mates” I’ve got.

I don’t have many but can tell you right off the bat there is a few of them who clam up and literally don’t know how to articulate mental illness to each other. They can banter about footy and boobs all day but when it comes to feeling low - they have no idea, I’m the other way, 5mins after meeting me I’ll have given you all my unsolicited grief and issues if I sense we’re are the same wavelength cos I can spot a person who wants or needs a a chat a mile away.

I love Matty and I mean that. I love how open and honest he is, don’t ever stop mate. It’s the way to be in my opinion and I try and be the same on here as I am off here.

Opening up immediately when you sense someone could use the talk or what Matty said about just letting people know you’ve been there and are available anytime can make all the difference. It’s about breaking down walls and stigmas and just owning what we all know and that’s everyone struggles.

I've had a year like that - I'm time poor so try and tough it out but that doesn't work - trying to make time to see GP etc. nowadays,

Honestly - if I saw my own post I would say get some serious time off and GP support, but I’m honestly sick and tired of telling my GP how unwell I am constantly. I’m tired of my own voice.

 

[larbert toffee]

your so correct mate - it’s a bad stigma that us men don’t talk and bottle it up

we’re human like the rest

makes you no less of a man by opening up

remember that x

Matty you're a top lad

 

[larbert toffee]

You`re a top lad Matty

Hadn't actually read yours until after I'd posted mine great minds and all that, I'm glad you think he's a top lad also

Here's hoping for a few less ailments once winter has passed.

Blue Monday has always seemed like a strange idea to me; no day is more universally depressing than another, but January is rough for a lot of people. Post-festive slump, failed New Years resolutions, back to work reality, not having anything to look forward to etc.

Don't let Blue Monday become something bigger than it is. Always here to chat to people that need it (I'm much less of an arsehole in DM's). Check in on your friends especially any you feel are quieter than normal.

Lost my dad in the summer. Had a dream last night we were in his old house and my nan said he was upstairs but not in a good way. I said I thought he'd passed and she said he hasn't. As I came out the lounge he came bounding down the stairs and gave me a big hug and said he was ok. Then I woke up miss the old fella so much. Have a great week everyone x
