'Kin ell back with a vengence

Not a "what's up hun?" Mumsnet post.

Not going to throw the towel in now or ever but it's hard at times.

Then again you dance with crocodiles and when the music stops...

Are you getting out Youri, apparently (autumn watch info) the smell of earth or cut grass somehow mimics serotonin, and improves mood. Get into some leaf strewn woodland and kick some about.

Saw that video. Top advice👍 Apparently trees & plants release chemicals that lower our blood pressure & cortisol/stress levels.

Knew you were a tree hugger

Take it easy Youri 👍

Cheers miami, bd and all the other sound lads on here.

Raised me back up.

Thanks lads.

If you need owt, toilet roll, pasta, just ask

Its shit innit.

Remember thinking how much I felt under pressure, within a few weeks I'm turning my air bags off and planning which motorway bridge i was going to drive into. Had to wait for a day when my lad wasnt in nursery. 

Ended up quitting s good job, then the next job and took me about 2 years to get back where I was. 

Still pops back from time to time, I've been on propranolol for 3 years now to take the edge off.  Joining a rugby club helped lots, till I broke myself and I get grief off the missus now for wanting to go back playing. 

I know it's going to come back with a vengeance before xmas.

You could at least offer to lend him Kermit for a couple of nights

You seem to know a lot about it mate 

Keep your pecker up Youri. You are needed on here for a start mate.

You come across as one of life’s fighters, gear yourself up for another battle and don’t let the other whoops customers at Asda have an easy life.

Agree with the alcohol comments.

Difficult, but knock it on the head if you can.

Can't do too much from Thursday, but at least we can meet one other outside. So even if you want nothing more than a walk and a fresh face to sound off to, its easy to sort out.

Has anyone met Youri?

Imagine meeting him for a chat and some fresh air and this turns up

 

Keep her chin up Youri. Loads of us struggle from time to time.

Thank fook for citalopram is all I can say, though the 1st few weeks were rough.

I had a major wobble last winter that took me literally right to the very edge and the thing that I took from it all is that you've always got someone to talk to and you MUST talk to them.

I've got a small group of lads I talk to on a fairly regular basis now and they've been a godsend.

But Gonzo's right, the ale's not really going to help in the long run.

We're a set of cunts on here, but we're always happy to listen to another one 😉

Fucking terrible illness to live with. Indescribable when you're in the grips of it. As others have said - try to talk to someone. They probably wont understand it, but talk to them anyway if you can. If you don't want to talk to anyone, don't. Just lie in bed, or do whatever it takes to pass the time, because you will be well again soon. Fuck everyone else. You can deal with them when it's passed. And it will pass.

Sorry to hear this Youri. There's already been some sound advice above.

Good luck with it lad - I'm sure you'll get through it.

That's a shocking story but thanks for sharing it.  We're all just a chemical imbalance from such feelings. At least you can recognise the signs now and do something about it. Take care pal

Lie in bed? Just feels worse surely, even though that's what the mind says it wants to do. 

Not sure about anyone else, but that's arguably the worse possible thing to do.

Movement and setting of a task or two per day; achievable goals, even if they are facile to most others, will start to give a sense of self worth. Got to get the juices flowing and the positive hormones.

If I don't reply I'm probably going for chips and gravy or on some brass site.

Hope you did both?

Hopefully today has found you in a better place. If you ever feel like a chat feel free to give me a shout and I'll happily lend an ear. You're only 5 mins away from me so will gladly go for a walk and a chin wag.

Just DM me. 👍🏾

There's no right way to go about it. Everyone is different. I didn't advise Youri to "lie in bed", but if that's what he feels like doing, he should do it. If he's able to be more active, then great, but sometimes you've just got to sit it out until you feel well enough - then you can start being more pro-active. Telling someone in that situation to "just get up and crack on with things" is like telling someone with a broken leg to "run it off, you fucking wimp".
