Made up you've been able to start a new job. Quit my job in January. Anxiety it caused me was really bad. Unfortunately, not been able to find a job since. My depression moves in cycles. Trying to exercise to keep my mood from sinking. COVID and the isolation really affected me for the worse. Anyway, best of luck to you in the new job.
Thanks. You have my sympathies. Like @COYBL25 says, jobs trap you in them to keep paying for all that stuff that requires money.
Congratulations on the new job, mate. Having to basically swallow that amount of stress because you can’t live without the income is a dilemma that I think affects a lot of people. You’ve done absolutely the right thing in getting out as soon as you could.
Congrats on your new job @messymascot Your story is definitely inspiring and shows that even when someone hits bottom there still a way out, the important part is not to give up but I agree with Spotty that it is also crucial for you to let people in. These battles are more easily fought when you have people by your side so don't forget that.
Mate, I'm sorry you are feeling so down. Life can be hard at times and sometimes shedding tears is a way to release ourselves from our suffering. Expressing your feelings here can also be very helpful, there are so many people at GOT that have great knowledge with mental health issues and that will reach out to you with very good advise so know that you are not alone.
Sorry to hear it, mate. Going back to your prior post you said you'd been trying exercise to help your mood. Can you get out for some fresh air? I know it won't cure all of your ills, but hopefully just being present and being in nature might take your mind off things, at least.
So sorry to hear that you are having a really bad time. Life can seem hopeless at times but know that it will get better for you. Cry if you want, as Sassy says, it is a release and that is a good thing. There is some great advice on here and always someone willing to listen. All the best.
Sennott, have you got support, from family or friends. If you have and your able, call them, visit them. Tell them how you are feeling. Being with someone has many advantages. Three of which are you can relax feeling safe and you can talk to them. Two, they can keep an eye on you, and three, if you don't feel able to talk to people they can act as an advocate for you. You can contact your GP, or speak to your support services if you have them. If you can call the Samaratins and they will listen and point you in the right direction. Are you known to mental health services m8. Have you been prescribed meds and have you stopped taking them. If your meds don't work, speak to your GP about a possible change or a possible dose change. Remember, in mental health, one prescription doesn't fit all. You have very specific needs, so please please talk to someone. I guarantee buddy, people do want to help but, they need to know what's going on. COMMINICATION IS THE most important aspect of mental health care, for people experiencing the problem and those providing the care. Speak to someone my friend, share your problems. One piece of advice I would specifically like you take on board. It is VERY important you are not stuck thinking about " bad things, thinking about how bad your situation is ' all the time, 24 / 7. You need a distraction and people can help you find that release. My patient said to me the other day " Terry, I'm sick to death of talking and thinking about my mental health issues ". THIS is my point, try to distract yourself, listen to music, go for a walk, a swim or excercise. All of these are helpful but first and foremost, your safety and finding some peace of mind is paramount. Stick with it buddy, you can get help from people who want to give it. Just please, let people know your struggling and you need help. Good luck and take care buddy.
Yes I think it does. I live in the north east and it was always said that Nissan's productivity directly related to Sunderland's results (They can't have been making many cars in the last few years!!) I think lockdown and not being able to go out has magnified that. Watching football is probably the only fun thing we've been doing (the word fun is used very loosely here!) With nothing else to look forward to, winning or losing sets the tone for your weekend. A win cheers you up a bit, a loss just adds to the misery.
Really feel for you mate but even reaching out on here is a small step forward, I cannot really add to the good advice the other posters on here have given you, as far as a job is concerned keep plugging away, try to stay positive, make sure you look after yourself and at some point the tide will turn.
