DAFC Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Went for works night out this week, first night out in months and got completely hammered. Felt like shit since, I don't enjoy getting pissed anymore and I don't know if drinking is helping me at all but it seems like in order to be social you need to go and drink as much as possible. Seriously thinking about stopping drinking completely as I hardly ever do it and when I do I can't stop or control how much as it's usually once or twice a year and I always go mental and hate myself for doing it afterwards. Bumped into some old 'friends' and got the bumsrush yet again but at least I know where I stand now. Not sure why I'm saying this on here but it seems like it helps. Actually looking forward to the new year and trying somehow to meet new people who aren't just complete pissheads or arseholes. Guess I've just been unlucky and chose the wrong people or maybe I'm part of the problem? Dwelling on the past is not helping but it's hard to let go of. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paranoid android Posted December 15, 2013 Author Share Posted December 15, 2013 Having read this thread back a little, I can not believe I am on here whinging while raidernation, who has a valid and genuine reason for being depressed, is battling a tragic loss. Sorry bud and hope you get the support you need. You can't measure pain, mate - if you've been having thoughts about 'topping yourself', as you mentioned in your earlier post, you should probably speak to someone - some very helpful links were posted on the first few pages of this thread, and are worth looking at - you could maybe also speak to your GP. Lots of people on here (including me) are happy to receive PMs from folk who are toiling. Stick in, bud. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stopping drinking could well be the best move you ever make. It can also help to let go of people who bring you down. Stick in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philpy Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Had my works night out and felt like shit. I really dont know what's wrong with me just now. I'm feeling great one minute, shit the next. I had a blazing row with the wife when I got in resulting in me very nearly trashing the bedroom and breaking a few things. Finances are dire just now, which probably isn't helping. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raidernation Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Have you lost 2 wives?? Yes One suicide in 2009, one in June this year with a massive stroke 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.C Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 This time of year always seems like a struggle and think part of it is there is such a massive focus between christmas songs, media and films about everyone being with the one they care about having a great family etc etc where that just makes you feel even more isolated. Most of my mates are coupled off so when I go on nights out etc when its everyone I kinda feel like a 5th wheel, pretty much the same when I go back to see family in Fife 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philpy Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 How are you sleeping? Broken patterns. Sleep for 2 hours, awake for 3, and so on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdgarusQPFC Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 I have an appointment with my GP booked this week, basically as I said before, I feel bored almost constantly, even when having a laugh with mates, mood swings, nothing violent but one day I'll be really easily wound up or annoyed by the most simple of things, the next I won't give a flying f**k about anything. I lose sleep at night, have trouble keeping a solid sleeping pattern and I'll feel tired quite alot. I generally feel shitty all the time and I'd love to get rid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good stuff, those feelings you're experiencing definitely highlight something isn't right and best to nip in the bud sooner than later. Prepare what you want to say the night before or bring a list of stuff incase you forget. Any GP worth their salt won't take the situation lightly. They'll ask you questions and refer you to a specialist if they think is neccessary. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raidernation Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Had a bad 3 days. Didn't eat, didn't take my diabetes meds, ended up in hospital with severe vomiting (12 hours plus) and discovered that the level of ketones in my urine was way too high and probably the cause of the sickness. Recommended to talk to someone about the depression, got a name and have called so we'll see what comes of this. Got meds to help with the nausea and a talking to from the doc about looking after myself, which is fair enough really given the circumstances. The meds are making me very tired and "wobbly" but only have to take them til Friday morning, then just back to my Metformin, and the meds I take for the stroke I had in March. Fun, fun, fun. Still got to go Christmas shopping and put my tree up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YHallSaint Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 I'm having a brutal last 24 hours, don't know if its the meds or what but I'm on a collision course with a bottle of vodka. Only started taking them last week and have barely slept this last week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
