Yeah like you say I think it was an initial 4 weeks for my mate and just popped back in and saw the GP and he extended it further until he was sorted and that went on for a bit.

My mum was signed off a few months back after having a fall, got signed off by the GP straight away and just had to send in the note to work, was fairly simple stuff from memory. I had a mate signed off for depression a while back and that was similar as well so she should be alright mate...

Sorry to hear your news mate, he sounds like a great dad and a big loss. Hope you're holding up as well as can be expected, all the best in the coming days and weeks mate x

Evening all, just wanted to say thanks for the messages in here and privately, apologies I've not responded to any of the pm's yet but I'll get round to it at some point so please don't think I don't appreciate it. As I've said to someone else I was fairly embarrassed after posting about my...

My 21 year relationship came crashing down about 2 weeks ago, I've had a variety of emotions, thought I'd just top myself and be done with it at first, then thought I might move away to where most of my family now are, but that'd mean being 4 hours away from the kids so can't do that. I'm a bit...

I did a while back now mate and found it massively helpful, some of the things I had to do were well out of my comfort zone but when you actually participate properly and do the work they give you to takeaway as well it's a huge benefit. It can sometimes feel a bit repetitive after a few...

It's a big adjustment, you go from being able to have time to do whatever you like and fairly limited responsibilities to a whole new level of responsibilities overnight, that coupled with the lack of sleep just burns your head out for a while but things settle down. I remember our first one...

Huh?

Concerning given you don't even have kids....

Well in, that's good going, think my brother must be 6-7 years now as well. It ruled his life for a long time and yet nobody knew until he eventually ran out of money and had to start coming up with fanciful stories to his wife about where all his money was. I've seen first hand how difficult...

I've mentioned it before but I can't recommend GA enough, my brother had a massive gambling problem that he kept well hidden, until it started to spiral and he had to admit it. I took him every week and sat outside whilst he went in so he couldn't do a runner, once he got the first 2-3 sessions...

The difference in your mood compared to some previous posts suggests you're thriving and in a much better place mate, hopefully things calm down a bit and she stops being a tit but you can be proud of how you've handled it and got on with your life.

All the best to everyone who visits and contributes to this thread. I'm no fan of Christmas, that's putting it lightly. I'm surrounded by plenty of people but weirdly I don't think there's a time of year where I feel more alone. As others have said, if you need to talk to someone or just vent...

Appreciate it mate, it all makes sense and a lot of it is relevant to me so I'm thankful for the insight. We'll see how the next few weeks go and I'll report back

Just to follow up on this, I had my first session yesterday and it was mostly running through what the sessions will consist of and introducing me to the treatment they have planned. It sounds like it's going to be a far more comprehensive treatment than anything I've ever had before so here's...

Yep they're the 2 she mentioned yesterday so will find out Thursday next week exactly what the plan is, eager to just get it started now.

I was diagnosed with PTSD yesterday which was caused by childhood trauma, I've been treated for depression/anxiety for most of my adult life but nothing ever really felt like it got to the root of the problems, however I started some sessions with a new woman a few weeks ago and she's just about...

Hope tomorrow goes well mate and gives you a bit of relief.

Absolutely gutted for you but have huge admiration for the way in which you're dealing with it. I can't offer any words that haven't already been said, keep us all updated when you can, there'll always be someone about to chat with on here so you don't have to deal with this alone. All the...

Really sorry to hear your news, thoughts with you mate. Someone is always here for a chat if ever you need it, all the best.
