Discussion & help on depression & mental health related issues

[Armaghtoffee]

Second anniversary today of a local kid who took his own life at 18. Buried on his 19th birthday. Family friends and the devastation is still there.

Just talk to people. Talk to us dickheads on here. There is always someone to listen and someone will understand if you keep talking. There is nothing you can’t talk through.

Had a further diagnosis from a lovely dr at the Sefton suite tonight, something called FND. I’m not gonna lie - one of these illnesses is eventually gonna topple me.

Is it a myelin, motor neurons, Alzheimer's issue? or related? Never take a first diagnosis.

Sorry about your diagnosis and prognosis mate, take care of yourself.

I wish you all the best with it and hope you can do well on the treatment for a good while yet fella.

I usually just drop in my usual miserable mood and symptoms in here but wanted to say thanks for all the ongoing kind words, it’s amazing how far this forum has come and ensuring we create a positive place.

This one hasn’t really sunk in yet, for a number of reasons. Christmas + family stuff. Im seeing neurologists, psychiatrists, therapists, all on the company dime which makes me sad at the state of our own health services, I’ve made absolute leaps and bounds in several months with regard to diagnosis. My advice to anyone who has the money or ability is go private even if you’re moderately young and healthy, your older self is relying on you - which didn’t ever dawn on me.

Some of you may remember my
previous posts about my husband. Third Christmas without him and my health is in downward spiral. I have so many illnesses including my mental health issues.
I would really struggle without this forum. Hats off to you all of you, you’ve become like family to me.
Merry Christmas to you all

First Christmas on my own. Been a mare watching all families together on TV and everyone partying and having fun. Been quite difficult at times. Not what I'm used to. I can see how hard it must be for some. Just spent the morning wrapping gifts for my son for when he comes in the new year. I'm all good. Hope everyone else on here is too!! Merry Christmas

Wallace and Gromit on bbc1 shortly, there's no sport today, lazy athletes indeed, Jaws is on bbc2 tonight (9pm), and Spielberg's own 'Jaws at 50' documentary on after it. Though I might watch Micky Flanagan at 9 (sky mix) instead if I feel I need a laugh.
Compare and contrast for me, I remember former Christmases that were chocker, and mither and non stop rushing about. The very definition of stress. Now a quiet relaxed Christmas is actually much easier to get through. TV remote all to myself. Winter equinox is past, be new years soon, Everton back to business, get through January, see who Sunderland get in the 4 round etc.
