Nice words. The whole forum can be a great help to people. Some times when your feeling lonely it's great to interact with fellow blues. Even if sometimes it's crazy haha.

It never ceases to amaze me mate. I have little other than sympathy to offer, but the help that Blues give Blues in here is always a reaffirmation to me that Evertonians are Evertonians.
Those that ask, etc etc.
The Assassin's Creed reference goes over my head but not the one relating to ruminations. Not a clue what the answer is, or if there is one, but I try to ignore them and carry on regardless. My future self needs to have good memories to look back on so I try to compartmentalise it. Ok, I'm having such thoughts, no idea why but if I do 'x' then by the end of the day i will have done 'x', something beneficial. I'm sure you get my drift.
This resonated with me ... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-5075829/Why-know-happiness-wrong.html
Christmas can be a difficult time for a lot of people and it can feel more of a chore than a time for celebration. So I'd just like to wish a very happy and peaceful Christmas to all those who use this thread and I hope 2018 is a year where things improve for you all. God bless.

I'm doing alright today. Exhausted but calm enough. Everything is closed for Christmas so I'll be heading to the doctor next week sometime and hopefully I can get into counselling after that because I feel like I need it

Hi all.
It's Christmas Day here in Oz & I'd just like to send my well wishes & positive thoughts to any who are doing it tough today. It's well known how hard this time can be for some & mere words won't ease that pain, but know there is good in the world & there is worth in each and every one of us.
We recently had some guy drive into pedestrians here & an Ambulance spokesman was on the telly thanking the general public for their support. You see, people ran to help & began a form of triage for the injured. As an example, this isn't really relevant to our little thread here, but it does show that in adversity there is courage & compassion. There will always be somebody that is willing to help. Reach out to them if you need to.
I'll be out & about during the day here but I'll pop online later (Christmas day Blighty time) if anyone wants to PM me...
Take care everyone.
Merry Christmas.

Happy Christmas to everyone. My issues have been nothing compared to some on here, but remember there is always light at the end of the tunnel. It may seem a long way off, but help from the right people and that light will become brighter. Be strong everyone.

Ok thanks.
Still trying to work through the CBT stuff, it's all new to me so taking a while. I have my first face to face review next week so that should help with some questions I've got.
The insomnia is still really bad, but for the first time in years I've got time off over Christmas and not working Christmas day for the first time for 8 years. Don't really have time for sleep getting ready for it anyway.
Hope everyone has a good Christmas.
Merry Christmas Blues.
By it’s very nature Christmas can be difficult with it’s modern projection of the perfect day. As I get older I realise that I have had perfect days but I didn’t realise it at the time.
Take time to reflect and let your loved ones know how special they are to you.
Stay safe x

All the best mate, try and get a few hours, at least you can relax a bit, knowing that you`re not in work.

girlfriend suffers from bi polar, spent last week arguing and fighting- literally. something i never ever said in my life i would resort to. sees no rational , manic peaks and troughs, am no saint but very hard to live with. the slightest slight results in a huge argument, getting me down myself and i know two depressive people together is not ideal. i am usually a very positive person but it's very hard to be around such negativity

Similar here, mate I feel your pain. Best I can do is grit my teeth when it happens and be a positive example.
Despite all this talk of equality etc, and without intending to sound sexist, I genuinely think many women are sent mad by their hormones, and don't think straight. Not their fault.

Update on mum. She's had a tracheostomy but has started doing some breathing on her own. We've said we will have Christmas in summer, fingers crossed she will make a good recovery.
Best wishes to all on this thread. This world is a cold and inforgiving place sometimes and throws curved balls at us as we know. But there are so many good people around and that sometimes gets forgotten. We all help each other here when we are able. Happy Christmas...especially to anyone not by choice on their own.
