I was suffering depressing bad, but I'm slowly reliesing yoga and a vegaterian diet is helping, OK it's taken me nearly 16 weeks, but I've gone from, what's the point ,to wow, yes come on!!!!...There is a way out guys x
have a look at nutrishield, half a hour a day and take their nutrient programme, depression drifts away, slowly but sure, just shoo it awy...honestly i was so depressed , read 'the power of your subconscious mind' aswell if you can..
At home now, have had my tea and in my dressing gown feeling fully relaxed. For the first time all day I'm able to think clearly.
Earlier today I experienced what can only be described as a mental break. Not a complete physical meltdown where I bawled my eyes out and people had to console me (I have had those before) because I managed to keep a lid on inner-turmoil, but mentally I was in excruciating pain. Colleagues and customers noticed how bad I was but no one said anything to me other than "you're a bit quiet today" probably because they thought I needed space. I just told people I didn't feel well and they then left me alone but did seem to be treading on eggshells around me. Most just gave me a wide berth because of the strong negative chi I was giving off.
I went all morning virtually without saying more than 3 words to anybody and with a VERY sad look and demeanour. I didn't intend to make my colleagues feel awkward but I was just so badly all over the place and couldn't get my head together at all. Every moment I wasn't posting in here about my deep insecurities I was just staring into space, lost in my own world that was filled with sadness.
Thankfully in the afternoon I managed to perk up a bit. I spoke to a family member and then one of my close mates on the phone during my dinner hour and just hearing their voices helped settle me again. I managed to gather myself and although the rest of the day was no picnic I did manage to get through it feeling no way near as bad. At one point I managed a genuine laugh and caught a colleague smile slightly, probably relieved that I seemed to be alright after observing how I was in the morning.
My insecurities have wreaked havoc on me the past couple of days for what I think is several reasons;
1. About a week ago I ran out of my medication and haven't picked up my repeat prescription yet
2. I was EXTREMELY tired, I had about 3 hours sleep before an early morning start. My brain was completely fried.
3. The feeling of being so close to what you think is happiness feels too good to be true so you convince yourself it's all a con and isn't real.
I honestly have no idea what's going with this girl I like. The only facts I have is she gave me her number, she said she'd let me know when she's free and she seems to enjoy my company when we're together. Therefore I have no strong reasoning really to assume she's suddenly gone cold and doesn't want anything to do with me other than the fact I haven't heard from her in a few days. I'll just have to see her on Sunday and see what the deal is for myself, hopefully it's not what I suggested above but there's no way of knowing that yet.
Thanks to everybody for caring, I'm going to get back on the meds ASAP and make sure I get more sleep. That will make a cheerier, healthier me and that type of me is the person who's most likely to get somewhere good in life. I'll keep you all updated.
, I't just saved my mind that's all
Do you work for a Pharmaceutical company Grouch???
Obviously if your mental health damages the way you work either you may need to examine the medication or speak to a doctor about how your mental health affects you doing your job. I have heard of people having serious accidents at work, while suffering with mental health problems. I would advise not going to work if you feel mentally awful, as it's not worth the possibility of you damaging yourself physically or mentally. Many people don't understand that depression has serious affects on your physical health. I couldn't go to work while suffering with serious depression, when getting as you say 3 hours of sleep. Suffering with aches and pains and feeling physically unwell. Plus without medication I felt suicidal and just couldn't cope with life, I wasn't eating well which didn't help. People have to realise that mental health issues have severe affects on a persons physical health as well. Don't put yourself under too much stress if at all possible.At home now, have had my tea and in my dressing gown feeling fully relaxed. For the first time all day I'm able to think clearly.

Please, mental health is ,well all in your head right? I't's not physical pain...Mental health needs a good balanced diet ,10 pieces of fruit and veg a day, not 5..and half hour moderate exercise..i.e a walk..do this you'll be ok...
Absolutely correct. Exercise is one of the best things to treat depression.
No mate. Never have.
I've been thinking about this. and if you know different then apologies. You say she's a single Mum. Have you considered that she might be very nervous about going out with somebody, it may have been some time since anybody asked her out, she may not have had anybody showing any romantic interest in her for a while, she might have had a bad experience in the past and doesn't entirely trust the male species. Don't give up on her yet.
I agree. But baby steps. Don't rush things and DO NOT take it as a slight if things don't work out. As the Angelika said this girl may be carrying a lot of baggage of her own that she needs to deal with and there is a trust element to overcome. These things will and do work out.
