Lisa Cuddy Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 You're all very polite. I was thinking of just replying 'Oh, do f**k off'. You all did very well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH33 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Damn of only I'd given up and fags and booze I wouldn't have become suicidal and admitted to hospital in July. Oh wait a minute I don't do either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeeperDee Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I wasn't speaking about posters on here - just the majority of facebookers who clog up my news feed, don't bite my head off Why did you feel you had to share your nonsensical views here then? Go post your shit on Facebook. FWIW I'm probably in the best physical condition of my life. What triggers mine is stress. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeeperDee Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Coz its a fucking topic about depression so I shared what I had experienced on it - I never said all the people who get depression bring it on themselves im saying the people I have encountered don't do anything to stop themselves from feeling that way. I have good friends who claim to suffer from it and they do NOTHING to help themselves so I know there are others out there who do the same. A pal of mine drinks red bull 3 times a day then goes home to about 12 beers and then claims to be depressed - I was talking about him and people like him and not everyone on here so I am sorry if it sounded bad ok!? I get stress and anxiety worse than most people I went to the doctors about it and got some mild relief pills that eased the pain somewhat but didn't make it go away, My problem came from being idle and not doing things that I actually wanted to do because it was too much hassle and it all boiled up for a whie and I was on course for mental breakdown so I know about how bad it can be when trapped inside your own insecurities You do realise that being depressed; although predominantly a mental ailment, it can have a profound effect on your physical body? If I was in the grips of a bipolar low in the moment and you told me to do something about it I'd probably make you a basketball. People who are depressed usually can't face getting out of bed, so lambasting them for not doing anything about it is just stupid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotfree Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I drank like a fish (6-8 pints a night). Got home from the pub at 12am. Got up for work at 5.30am. Worked. Went to the pub. That was my way of coping. The WRONG way of coping. It was not until I went for help that I'm feeling better. I've given up smoking. I only have about 3 half pints a week if any. We all deal with stress in different ways. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 He really should he's a fucking heap. It would be like me complaining to you about my chronic heartburn whilst crying into a litre of red rooster I've never seen anybody with less of a clue about depression than you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeeperDee Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Lets just forget my input in this thread as in all honesty I have the sensitivity of a herd of gang rapists. And the awareness of a spoon it seems. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeeperDee Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 At least im happy Being bipolar has its benefits. It brings along a cynical filter of the world and it usually means I can spot arseholes a mile off. Guess who's the arsehole I've spotted? And Fwiw, when I'm happy, I'm 10000000x happier than you'll ever be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Phoenix Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 If I was in the grips of a bipolar low at the moment and you told me to do something about it I'd probably make you a basketball. That is my new favourite post of all time. TBF to throbber, I don't think he meant to come across as an insensitive twat. Understanding depression, let alone dealing with it is impossible for anyone who hasn't / isn't suffered / suffering from it. I've personally never been there, although probably like most folk, I've frequently used the expression "I'm depressed" when in reality I'm just a bit out of sorts and will snap out of it without any real effort. Those that can't do that are the real sufferers and require expert help, not throw away lines of "encouragement" from P&B'ers! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeeperDee Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 You cant exactly judge me over a couple of ill manner posts on a football forum when im named something as silly as throbber If you want to take me up on that happiness bet how about you phone me on one of your good days - I will take along some red bull and some eccies and we can paint the town red?! Eh.. Nah. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

banterman86 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 This is genuinely one of the best threads I've ver seen on here (trolling aside) kudos to all the folk who opened up and all the posters offering their ear via PM. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 A pal of mine drinks red bull 3 times a day then goes home to about 12 beers and then claims to be depressed - I was talking about him and people like him and not everyone on here so I am sorry if it sounded bad ok!? D'you not think that this is a coping method? Using the red bull to get through the day then getting blootered at night to either blot something out or put himself to sleep? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Skidmarks Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Naw he's just a bell end I used to drink 2 big red bulls a day at work and to get over the effects when I got in I would have a couple drinks aswell just like him although he did it on a grander scale. I had to give it up tho its fucking toxic stuff, think It has given me heart burn for life Point missed entirely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy85 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 That is my new favourite post of all time. I'm not sure you're in any position to judge after this gem from earlier in the thread. Philpy, if you were truly depressed, you would be in bed with the curtains shut instead of posting about it on here 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aufc Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 To be fair to throbber, it is quite hard for someone who has never been depressed to understand it. I have never been depressed. I actually used to probably think the same as him but it Was after reading this thread that my view on it changed. There are so many different elements it. Anytime I think I am feeling a bit down then I sort of think that there is usually someone a lot worse off than me. This is easier for me at the moment due to stuff that is happening within my family. If only it was as easy for everyone. Although, yer man throbber didn't put it particularly well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
