“You’re not broken, you’re awake in a broken world”
Davey couple of things. What does the "wobble" look like?. Secondly in my experience when people are on edge it's anxiety which in itself a symptom of a lack of control. Could it be there are lots going on in your life and you feel overwhelmed. Your GP will "probably" prescribe an anti depressent if you aren't on them. However as you know, finding out whats causing you to feel stressed is fundamentally important. I try to work with my patients in identifying what you have control of what is causing you the most "distress". Once identified, can you look and explore how to address the problem. What are your options? What can you do to give you options? Using myself as an example, I recall the Mrs and I were in a lot of debt. A lot. It was causing us so much stress. I thought that if we can address the debt problem a lot of our problems could dissipate. We went to a debt management Organisation called Step Change who worked with us to come out with a solution to pay off our debt. The relief we felt was fantastic.
The point I'm making Davey, we sometimes feel we have no control but we do. We just need a little help and support to identify what the problem is, and how and what do I need to do to address it. Perhaps Davey and I suspect at present, you can't see the wood for the trees which is anxiety provoking. Prioritise what you feel if addressed, would provide you with the most peace of mind, and with support if necessary, work out what needs to happen. I do hope this makes sense Davey. If it doesn't let me know I will try my best to explain it better. Good luck fella.,
Yeah, you're right there's complex factors going back years. Which may take time to disentangle.
Are you able to "begin" Tom address and disentangle them. By doing so you may be able to avoid the distressing thoughts and feelings. Or are they something you'll have to acknowledge it's going to continue for the foreseeable? By the way Davey, sorry if what I've suggested is triggering or an area or path you don't want to go down. Good luck either way bud.
Sorry to hear this Davey, I think this is exactly the type of space for venting. Good that you're already acknowledging it and taking action, I had a very prolonged episode last year that took me months to actually accept was happening. Talking and externalising it was a simple and really effective first step that I wish I had done way earlier. I hope you're keeping well and enjoy every minute of your time off
Excellent advice amd support in the last few pages. Similar to you @Daveysgingerlovechild but I'm a few months down the line and had help. You're doing the right things. Get help. Talk. Don't feel guilty for doing either. You can get control, just need to support yourself 1st, which is easier said than done but trust me, try to, it'll help. Self compassion will help you.
Just letting off steam - dealing with aged Mother (89) with need for hip revision after a 3rd dislocation & some dementia along for the ride, we limp along to doing the right thing surgically for her. I feel so terrible for her - my sister / her daughter passed away earlier this year and my mother is locked in memories about her while we twiddle thumbs for issues at the margin.....
Sorry to hear this. Have you been able to identify anything that might have caused this - or is it a build up of a lot of different things that individually are manageable but when they all happen in close succession get you to the way you feel right now. I've just read ahead- glad you went to the GP and got signed off. I hope you start to feel better.
your doing well mate you just don’t feel it. it you are coping with it all
stay strong x
venting helps you do it mate.
your have a bout of depression they’re matey speak to your GP if your GP is a kopite come back to me x
Thanks - we've cleared one hurdle with successful surgery yesterday afternoon - next is transfer to a skilled nursing facility for therapy (tomorrow) and me politely insisting that their psych NP see her right away to work on addressing dementia behaviors.
I won't go into huge details (cause it's my field of work, I can blather on for hours), but psych / mental health care in the US is sorely lacking and it's even worse, I think, in post-acute settings like long term care. And for those who, for some reason, can't get a bed in a LTC unit and are aging at home and alone, it's just non-existent.
that’s good that’s one part mate
hopefully all the rest will also
carry on being a good person mate x

What's it all about Alfie ? I sometimes wonder what's the point ; in the eon of the existence of the universe what does my tiny pin prick of existence matter ? Bugger all if all told. Not an original thought I grant you. I know the usual reasons : people would miss you ; think of the children ! etc, etc, but really they are platitudes used by by the living, not the departed.
See a doctor ? Pills, pills and more pills ; referred to an overworked psychiatrist in 6 months time, more platitudes, investigate my psyche, more simplistic solutions - get out more, meet new people, were my parents unfeeling ? All words really in the grand scheme of things. Circumstances dictate outcomes, and rarely can they change.
Should really start a metaphysical thread.

To follow your theme... My view is we're just a miniscule biological abberation. No rhyme, nor reason.
Doubt this helps any, other than to point out the sheer randomness of it all.
I walked past tons of people today all revelling in where they were. All with their own baggage, and fears, self doubts amd insecurities that go hand in hand with the minute by minute human experience. But for many moments they were present and enjoying something about life. It was amazing. I stood and people watched for a little while wondering in the awesomeness of our collective experience, and there is nothing insignificant about any of it. We are all on a journey and here in this time for many reasons. Never give up on the fact that tomorrow could be even better than today, and if it wasn't, try again tomorrow.
