Health Depression

[phantom13]

I don’t know how much clearer I could possibly be that I’m not talking about you but suggesting no one thinks that is wrong. In fact just outside your selective quoting I gave you a clear example of people who thought exactly that (albeit hawthorn not toorak).

It’s overly simplistic to simply say work hard and sacrifice and you can get a home. You’re open about the fact you haven’t and you accept that you don’t and probably won’t own a home. That’s fine, good to be aware and introspective of your situation but you are implying that anyone who doesn’t own a home also just didn’t work hard and sacrifice and that’s just not true.

Alternately I wouldn’t say I’ve sacrificed it worked any harder than most yet I do own a home.

There’s so many mitigating factors and to be Frank it’s you who won’t listen to outside ideas. I’m by no means trying to “win” this argument or prove anyone wrong or myself right because ultimately it’s far too complex a discussion for that but I’m reading your posts as “I didn’t work hard and this I don’t own a home, that’s just how it works” and that’s true for you but not necessarily for anyone else.

Fair enough, we can agree to disagree

How’s everyone feeling?

I was also wondering how the guy that was splitting from his wife was going ( can’t remember name of poster).

I’m actually feeling a little better today.

I get kind of depressed and anxious over the Christmas/New Year period, and I was worried I was going to spiral further down.

Did some very basic exercise: light walking, sit ups, push ups, squats and got my 8 hours sleep every night and forget about everything else and I think that helped.

What about you Perth girl, how is sunny WA?

I’m doing a lot better! I’m living with a lovely family ( just renting a room) and loving it. Changed jobs a little while ago, replaced a horrible boss with a nice one and am feeling a lot more positive.

Has anyone experienced a feeling of impending doom?

11 Conditions That Trigger a Feeling of Impending Doom

A sense that something bad is going to happen may be a feeling of impending doom. Here are the conditions that may cause it.

It's a real thing and apparently many people who have heart attacks experience this before the actual heart attack.

I've been experiencing this a lot over the last week. Not sure if it's related to anxiety or an actual medical condition going on in my body.

I think I have numerous times and it was the result of a lie I was living being revealed to someone in front of them. An absolutely horrible feeling. Every now and then I get the same feeling when I relive that specific moment in my head. I’d suggest seeing a doctor in case there is something else underlying.

I had a 3 day psychotic break where I felt like a blood vessel in my brain was going to burst at any moment and kill me. Even now I suspect it's how I'll exit the world.

0/10 would not recommend.

That doesn't sound good. I replaced a toxic boss with one I'm not sure of. Still no improvement. But will all be good. Backpack packed= holiday Saturday

Oh man, I’m sorry to hear that. I’ve had two psychotic breaks. I’m not sure I could survive a third. They are the worst. I hope you are doing better now.

All good now, thankfully it was recreationally drug induced rather than an ongoing issue.

I think both of mine were induced by alcohol. The last one was 18 months ago and I haven’t had a drink since. I can’t risk that hell again.

have a valium or a Xanax ready for these moments. They are horrible.

I don’t know if this will help anyone, but I spent years in therapy and psych wards, and for me the most effective treatment has been DBT - dialectical behaviour therapy.

I’ve never felt more shit than right now. Battled anxiety throughout my twenties, turned 30 mid 2022. But this year has been horrible, unemployed currently and don’t see a way out to be honest. I’ve never felt more low

I wonder how many of the people battling depression have spent a solid chunk of time getting away from booze / drugs / screentime.

Yes, I put screentime up there with booze and drugs.

When I'm feeling no good, I think to myself, how much booze and screen have I been doing?

Invariably the answer is 'way too much'.

I'm not suggesting these are the only factors, of course there are lots of things which contribute to depression.

Before going down the psychologist / meds route, I would recommend any guy evaluate his lifestyle first.

Booze and drugs and screen can be fun, but they come with a cost when overdone.

Positive vibes to everybody reading this, most of us have been through dark times, things will get better in time.

Screen time is definitely a major factor that doesn’t seem to get called out that much. For me it is a major cause of anxiety but mainly Facebook. So much negativity on there and I take it in and get involved, such a toxic world. I’ve removed myself from alot of community groups (my wife is heavily involved in our region) because the negativity and bullying and hate in these groups are rampant. Removing myself and learning not to bite when people are trolling has greatly improved my state of mind.

I have. And it makes **** all difference. Stop drinking??? A quaint bullshit mtv comment (no offence). Purpose direction community and acceptance is what ultimately matters. Hasn't exactly being ****ing easy last 4 years.
Anyway plan and plan well have a personal goal and ultimately go with your gut on major decisions. Don't listen too much to those who frankly are full of shit

 

[Run n Spread]

I don't know what's happened to me these last times. I've lost all motivation and drive. So many things I could do but can't. too much shit these last 3 years have denied everyone
