dorlomin Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Some world leading scientists who suffer from various mental health issues discuss mental health. I found it very interesting. Just stop when the singing starts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 And bang, another relapse Will be disappointed if I wake up tomorrow Not good to hear. Do you have anyone you can talk to? Is there anything you think has caused this or triggered this? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Bairn Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 How are you feeling today? I got very, very drunk, was nice to see some mates I haven't gone out with in a while. Just had a stressful week, I do feel a lot better today. Some things are still getting me down, but I do feel a lot better. Appreciate the concern 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just had a stressful week, I do feel a lot better today. Some things are still getting me down, but I do feel a lot better. Appreciate the concern Good to hear you're feeling better. As I mentioned in a previous post, was there anything you can identify that might have triggered this 'episode' (I don't like to use such a term but I'm sure you know what I mean)? Or was it just, like you say, stress that got on top of you? No worries! Think this thread is for sharing these sort of things and I'm happy to talk to anyone experiencing these problems because I know how fucking awful it is. Even a dirty b*****d Falkirk fan! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philpy Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Hate posting on this thread, due to how some other people view me on here. I'm at a very low point just now. Does anyone just feel like Cutting off from everything socially completely?? That's how I feel, and I just can't get to the bottom of it. Work related stress isn't helping, we get no support from head office, and the workload is too much. I'm coming home in a foul mood every night, and it's causing major arguments. Me and the wife have tickets for Kevin bridges in Glasgow in a weeks time, everything is all paid for, but I keep getting the urge to burn the gig and train tickets and cancel the hotel, because for some reason I'm getting thoughts in my head that some idiot will spoil the night and I will end up doing something stupid. I'm really worried about my mental health but I'm scared shitless to speak to anyone. I've already had to talk myself out of walking out of work 3 this week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Buy a dog that needs a lot of walking. Gets you some time to yourself to get your thoughts in order. A pub would not necessarily have to be on your route. Kevin Bridges shouldn't be your priority. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Dubious advice as having a dog could add to the stress. Plus walking with your thoughts won't work for everyone. It might but equally could have you dwelling on negatives more. Philpy, yes, I know what you mean about shutting yourself off, having done it far too often. It's a classic reaction for many who feel suffer bouts of depression or low mood. It's like a defence mechanism mentally as sub conciously you probably feel that you might say or do something 'out of character' in a social setting that would upset/annoy/hurt someone and would make you feel worse. Your worries about the Kevin Bridges show would suggest that your brain is entering or is in that sort of mode. Whilst Welshbairn means well by saying that the show shouldn't your biggest concern right now, it seems to me that you mention it because it's clearly playing on your mind and has is adding to your stress, a clear sign that your mind is, for want of a better word, ill due to depression and/or stress. What should be a laugh is something you're almost dreading. Chances are it'll be absolutely fine, but we know the mind can be a dick when not working right. Regarding your work, is the increased workload a short term thing or is it permanent? If it's the latter and there is no way your work can help with it, you might want to seriously consider moving elsewhere. Regarding dreading talking to folk, I know what you mean as I was terrified of doing so for years. There isn't an easy solution to that; you have to do it. If you put it off and let it build you run the risk of things getting worse and for an extended period of time (years). There are a lot of sources (Breathing Space, counselling, your GP, a friend). If you try them you'll know what works for you and what doesn't. Don't suffer alone. Does your work offer any counselling service? If it does give it a try. You really need to speak to your wife to let her know how you're feeling. She'll surely understand and be supportive. At the least she'll at least know that you aren't well and that it's nothing she's done. As always you can drop me a PM if you want 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
