I know how you feel lol

How's it going @RobFZS
We've got back together better than before. To be honest it all seemed to change for the better when the clocks changed and weather improved
She is still on the medication and still gets anxious. Doctors just seem to treat symptoms with pills like putting a sticking plaster on I think it would be better investigating the root cause. I firmly believe a lot of her problems can be laid at her ex husbands door as he basically bullied and put her down for 20 years which has left her with no self confidence
I tell her how attractive and what a good person she is but she finds it hard to believe me

Pretty much the same, we're very close but not together, i think the anxiety from the pills is holding her back, we had a wobble the other day when we went to a music concert, mostly down to her deciding to drink alot and thus, it put her back to how she was for a small time, but patched it up again now, life seems to be full of suprises at the moment so just taking it as it comes , there's more good than bad so keep smiling

Every life is a tragedy.Our end is inevitable from the very moment that our characters emerge and the thrill of the thing is not in the end itself,but in the route we take to reaching that end.Since we are the main character,anything anyone knows about us acts as the chorus,providing the balance in order for our character to be established and contrasted.
The notion of life as a tragedy is not one which should be taken in a negative sense.Far from it.Our lives represent,in the words of Milton,the highest form of drama.Our deaths do not so much represent the end of our character as the completion of our character.There is nothing more to know about ourselves but that the tragic formula is complete.It is the perfect moment which one my call Heaven.⚖

The keys for unlocking the dark places that we sometimes abide in are love and forgiveness; for both our selves and for others. Easier said than done but a good place to start.

Brilliant way to look at it - death is not the end of a life, but the completion of one, a job done.

After reading through this thread my problems doesn't seem so big, but I think it may help me if I write some of it out. I am 29 years old and my life has been a disappointment for me. I have achieved nothing, I have nothing to show for what I did, I don't see a future for myself. My feelings range from anger, depression, anxiety, and everything in between. I don't know what to do differently. I am scared for the day it will get too much, its getting worse. I haven't got anyone to talk to about it. Sorry for posting about my stuff, seems there are many with so much bigger problems to deal with.

I listened to other people talking about their lives and it made my problems seem small, too, but they were still legitimate problems, as are yours.
It's amazing how much you do actually achieve, even on a day when you get very little done. Everything takes its own time. Try writing down absolutely everything you do for a few days or a week, even if it's only the washing up. Then you can see how much you do get done, and where you can improve things.
Everyone can't be the boss, or the best. Many of us are just plodders but we are still important and valuable.
At 29 you are still young with plenty of opportunities ahead of you.

I remember being 28,29, it was a difficuilt time, but a year later everything changed for the better. Just keep grinding away.

MB Track,

believe me; you "can" pull through this and see brighter days. If you have read all the way through this thread you will have seen a number of helpful suggestions and details of organisations that exist to help and support people who are going through the life symptoms that you describe here.

Do you know why you are angry? Can you write or talk about what is making you angry?

Don't forget that alcohol and sometimes diet can magnify problems beyond their true magnitude.

 

[7830AP]

A useful way of looking a bad mental health periods in your life,are to see your mind as a brick wall,which has been fully or partially broken down.
You can then take the opertunaty to rebuild that wall stronger or better constructed from what you have learnt,brick by brick

This is what a doctor told my mother 25 yrs ago,when she whent through troubles and I find it true for myself.

Why have I only just discovered this feed! First and foremost @MB Trac you can and will get through this so please read. January 5th 2016 I took a call from my wife to say our eldest son (25) was on a train heading home from London where he lived and worked, his partner had ended the relationship and he was distraught so his friends put him on a train. We collected him and straight away we knew there was more to it, he was broken! Over the next few days we learnt he had been suffering with depression for over 2 years, docs had simply prescribed pills and fobbed him off despite him fitting the demographic of a suicide risk. Now at this point some will be asking why this was happening and we (his parents) didnt know, well we are tight as a family, we are daily texters and have a whatsapp group for the whole family "clan" including everyone from 5 families - yes we speak a lot as well. Truth is this, he did not want to worry us so hid it well, had we been a family who were not close then he would not see the point in telling us so either way we were stuffed! I could go on about the disconnection within NHS etc and how the UK doesnt deal with mental health the way it should (in our experience) and how it failed our son...! Our son was never the sort to give any idea he may take his life, he wouldnt make attempts or call for help, but we knew this (my wife and I sought help so we knew how to read the signs) and also knew whilst he was at his worst he would not have the strength to do so, the time to really watch him was when he appeared "better" as he would have a bit of clarity to work out a plan - but we know this. I went into his room around 9.30 one night (I did this every night) and his room was immaculate, his bed made, clothes tidy and he was on his laptop and quite chatty, right there I knew I needed to stay with him so I turned on radio 2 (Jo Whiley is on from 8pm till 10pm) and lead on his bed and got him to lie with me whilst we spoke about nonsense and listened to the radio, thats where we both woke the following morning! We have since spoke about this and he says it was the day he thought he could solve everyones problems by taking himself away and not coming back, he also thought he was being so selfish (@MB Trac take note) because in his mind his problems were not as big as other peoples! I could give you chapter and verse of the events of the next few months, the cock ups with the NHS messing his meds (gave him meds for gout by mistake one day), the countless nights I slept on his bed and the endless bouts of tears where my wife was running out of different ways to say "you will get though this"! Indeed for me I found myself thinking I was a failure, yes I can farm, yes I can make money and achieve things but my biggest failure in life was that of a father - before anything else I am a proud husband and father and here my family was falling apart around me and this had happened on my watch! But things all of a sudden started to change, his meds started to work in July (yes 7 months in), time had started to heal his broken heart and he had met someone else, but most of all he started to accept that people do care, that this was NOT his fault and that he was not a failure! In September (16) he said he was going to Canada with his partner who had a new job (our son was still living with us at home and had not moved back to London), we didnt want him to go but would not stop him, we worried it was too soon, that he was maybe trying to prove a point etc but we remember his therapist telling us that "one day he will be up and gone, no he wont be so called cured but he will be in control, he will still have battles as a normal life will present challenges he has to deal with"! So he went off in September, we joined them for New Year and was content he was ok but still concerned. Jump forward to this week and we collected him from Gatwick as he is home for a month, my wife says it all when she said its the first time in a long time we can remember him "smiling through his eyes"! He will see his doc this week and discuss a process for coming off all meds but now today as I write he is in London meeting some of his great friends who provided the support and help he needed through the bad times, then next week his partner will join him before they head to Glastonbury ahead of other plans before they return to Canada where he is returning to college as he wants to graduate (he bailed out in Westminster and took a job), they are also planning to cycle across Japan!

The point of the above is simple, our son was at the point of no return, he thought he was a burden, a failure and of no value and had given up, but despite this, despite the numerous trips to A & E when we didnt know what to do - we have our son and he is looking forward to life! The past year will haunt me forever but I dont dwell. The point being @MB Trac that our sons problems grew from nothing, he didnt come straight in at the worst level, so dont dare think for one minute your problems are smaller than anyone elses! To beat this will require you to demonstrate strength when all you feel is weak, yes our son has a large caring circle of friends and family, obviously we dont know your circumstances but dont think for a minute that without a caring group or family around you that no one else cares, "WE" are listening and "WE" do care so never be afraid to ask or at least talk! There is hope for all, life can be shite but my goodness it can be thrilling, fulfilling and simply quite enjoyable, so dont give up or give in. Best wishes and by all means DM me if you want a chat any time.

Another one of those posts that made me fill up
@MB Trac sometimes it helps just to write things down when you're down at the bottom-if nothing makes sense to you, you tend to think that no one else will be able to untangle your thoughts, so what's the point in telling them.
It doesn't need to be on this thread........send one of us a message, or just pour it out on paper. You might be surprised that some of it makes a little sense when you read it back. It might not, but at least you got it out in the open. Refer back to it, cross bits out, add to it, scrunch it up, whatever, just get it out of your head for a start
It's a horrible place to be, but you've made the first step asking for help. You'll look back in the future and won't believe the things you were thinking today. At 29 there's a lot of life to live yet.

I just want to thank everyone of you for the kind words and encouragement. I feel better now, sometimes stuff just get to much for me. I am glad I posted on here, seeing that there are people who care, even though I am basically a complete stranger. I will keep following this thread, I think it would do me good seeing how everyone else handles these same type of problems. I know I will be needing everyone of you again, but its nice to know I can come here, it definitely helps. Thanks again.

Thank you for sharing that. Need a bigger 'like' button for that. Made my eyes leak. And YES the WE of TFF is always ready, willing and able to listen.
As far as it goes, we are all strangers. A few know a few others, but mostly not, but we are all human (most of the time!) and as such we will all do what we can to help each other through the tough times.
Take care, and keep talking.

I will keep following this thread, I think it would do me good seeing how everyone else handles these same type of problems. I know I will be needing everyone of you again, but its nice to know I can come here, it definitely helps. Thanks again.

Glad to hear you feel a bit better. There is such a lot of truth in the old saying 'a trouble shared is a trouble halved' Best wishes

just summarizing it in a post helps sometimes....puts the problems in a pile....gives a little context
