The Black Dog.

[Changaneen]

Is he sniffing around any of you? He's been around my place lately. I keep telling him to **** off, but he wont go away. I sleep a lot, might think then he'll go away. But i get up and do stuff and he's still there.

If i had a shotgun i'd blow his ****ing head off, but he keeps on beating me.

Any ideas ?

Swallow your pride and see a health professional. Don't be a She'll be right bloke.

My wife told me the same thing Frodster, im no where near the point of ending things by the way, i just get so depressed so easily. I used to be a go get shit bloke. I love my fishing and camping, I love my Land Cruiser. Ive just been down and out lately. I stay in bed for hours, which isn't like me.

Im sick and tired of depressing things on the net. People getting their heads sawn off by ISIS. Cruel shit that brings me down. Seeing animals treated like crap.......... im over things at the moment. I watched a big old cow get hammered to death over in Indonesia the other day. Did my head in

Listen to your missus, listen to your moderator. It's too easy to spiral into the depths and that black dog has powerful jaws.

Listen to Ford and your missus. I've been there (mostly PTSD for me but that dog has been around too). Talking to a professional helps. You might not find the right one straight away though. If you don't, ditch them and find someone else. The most important thing is to find someone who you trust and feel comfortable with.

Good luck. I hope you kick that cur out soon.

Its hard to find someone you trust MM, especially were i live. When i was a kid i went to church and had issues. The Pastor basically burnt me. Since then i have trusted nobody. I'm a rat bag, but a good rat bag. I don't do drugs, i drink too much. I'm a grandad. Ive lost faith in life at the moment.

Walk, run, exercise. Change your routine. Switch the TV off. Take your missus on a date every week. Start planning a holiday, we all need something to look forward to. Most importantly see a doctor, no questions, no excuses.

Go to your GP, get a mental health plan. They should know good psychologists or psychiatrists in your area. If they don't find another GP who does. You should be able to trust your GP too.

The main thing is you realise you're struggling and are prepared to admit it. That's half the battle, right there.

Personally, I'm not religious, so I wouldn't recommend church officials anyway. I simply cannot speak through experience about whether they are any use or not.

Actually, it's coming up to the 20th anniversary of the source of my PTSD (some bugger trying to kill me), so I probably should start seeing someone again myself. The event has been going around my head increasingly lately.

Ha my GP!!! ........lets start right there, very rarely visit him, but when i do he laughs at me, he says im a healthy bloke, what are you doing here? Heres your sick note, get out of here. Flashes his big pearly white teeth and thanks me for the visit.

I have issues and im scared to tell him for fear of him laughing at me. But the campaigner has stitched me up from head to toe from drunken accidents that i seem to have for years. My body is a walking scar. Its catching up with me now and ive had enough

If you can, find another GP. This is too important to stay with someone you can't discuss this stuff with.

After the shooting, I saw someone for one session and then tried to work through it on my own. It took far longer to deal with it that way. Since then, I have been far more willing to seek help. I am much better for it.

Jackass has nothing on me. Ive had that many motorbike accidents. I get what i deserve, but it catches up. Sore wrists, sore shoulders, sore legs...........i feel like im cooked. The Black Dog is sniffing around me.

It wont get that bad, just needed to talk on here with like minded people. Im up and down like a ****ing yoyo.

No worries. I really do hope you can work through this.

That's cool. It's always good to know it is there just in case.

 

[ozph1870]

coming on here and chatting about it is a good start. so many keep it within, never say anyting, and it builds and builds until it becomes too much.
definitely find a gp you can trust, i changed recently and it was the best thing i did.

Yep..........music is a big one at the moment. Losing myself in some good music. Calms my soul.

 

[Changaneen]

I love Sting. Love the Police.

Piston, is it the pain that is getting you down?

No not really IDC. Just sometimes things are too difficult. Im a simple man and things get me down easily. Just watching our cattle being brutally killed by those ****s over seas brings me down two pegs. I wish life was a bit simpler but its not.

im exactly where you seem to be piston, I was diagnosed with depression 3-4 years ago was ontop of it thanks to medication and doing a course that helped me to re-evaluate my outlook on life. unfortunately lately I've slipped back into to my negative ways and just constantly feel down even though everything in my life is just brilliant. the black dog is an absolute pain in my ass
