Depression


Recommended Posts

Just tell them "no". Might not be easy but you'll feel better for it.

Sage advice. I have been doing this for a few years in life in general now, whereas in the past I would just go out or do things even if it didn't really suit me. Results in people sometimes getting a bit pissed off but if you don't then you end up keeping everyone else but yourself happy.

I'll say it now as I'll likely be a bit pissed later and will end up posting a long winding essay with superflous big words in it, so all the best to you cuntos and hope we all get sorted and move on to better things in the new year.

I'm serious about the decadent Dundee dirties night out by the way. Well up for that.

Evening folks

Feeling a lot better in the last few days and it's the Derby tonight :thumsup2

Found out this afternoon my mate has been making up shite about me and a few others (including my ex) in the past 2 months. :(

Of course he's going to do that. You're his girlfriend's ex and you're still featured fairly prominently in his life because of the football. Just take it on the chin and laugh at the fact that he's threatened enough by you to sit and do it.

Posting here feels a bit weird, but at this stage I am not sure what else to do.

My recent moods have been so up and down that it’s starting to scare me. Sometimes I feel fine, if a little disconnected from the rest of the world. But sometimes I go through wee phases of horrible lows. They generally pass quite quickly, but usually these periods are really intense. I feel short bursts of feeling utterly hopeless to the point of having suicidal thoughts, although I cannot see myself ever acting on those thoughts. I feel paranoid and I lash out at everyone around me. I don’t really want to know what’s going on as I think the effect on my family would be awful if I was found to have depression, or something else. I don’t really want to let the genie out if the bottle and I would rather try and manage it myself, although I am not sure if I can or if that’s in any way healthy.

The thing that really bothers me is that there’s nothing going on in my life to cause this. My job is dull but tolerable, it’s not in any danger, I have enough friends and family around me to not feel lonely, and I have no money worries. I have felt like this in the past, but it’s been triggered by a specific event and usually manifests itself with self-destructive behaviour – which usually involves me alienating myself from everyone around me.

Also, today for the first time in years I started self harming. I did self-harm a bit around the age of 20, but that was triggered by a specific traumatic event in my life at the time. This wasn’t, which terrifies me. I don’t know what to do as I think this is getting worse. I really don’t know where to go from here.
