Time waits for no one and that’s what’s scary when you’ve suffered with mental health issues for a long time such as depression and long term unemployment, you can’t get back time that’s passed and you see yourself getting older. It’s scary
Sending love, Dave, I hope things have worked out for you, that the corner was turned and you can feel peace and love, wherever you are, whatever you are doing x 🙏
It's bloody hard, mental health. I always say I want to stream my way through life without fear because everyone else around me seems to do that. But it isn't like that. Brains are bastards. If they just did what they were bloody well there to do it would never be a problem. I talk about killing myself to my family, telling them it would be easier if I wasn't constantly moaning and panicking. But then I hear 'oh and how would that leave us? Ruined forever.' So I promise them I'd never do anything daft because I think I know how I'd ruin their lives. It's shitty depression. My mum said to me today 'sometimes I think it's just because you don't like things like your job. If I won the lottery, you'd perk up and be fine'. I love my parents and I put ridiculous pressure on them with my anxiety and mood swings, but I don't agree with what my mum said. Anyway, I'm having counselling and a phased return to work starting Tuesday. Again, brains are bastards. They do far more than they are meant to and start doing jobs they weren't asked to.
To me Started a year ago ...Im soo fucking scared of everything...and i honestly used to love life and love my self and others ..i cant work even ..cant shower ..dont live the house basacly..Im afraid even of taking medications..Im totaly fucked ..pois i hate the house and the Room and citie i live in 😞 ..but i cant leave like this ...i dont even like my clothes anymore..i now ...its ridiculus 😓 ..but Thats what i feel ..i have alot of suicídle thougts as well
I can understand what you have to deal with. I have suffered from clinical depressions for half of my life. And when I tell someone or sombody I work with - there is a change. "Maybe we better not tell her, because it will be to difficult for her. " That kind of thing. Well, when you are talking difficult - try a clinical depression. And not just once - as in 4..... So I know what you'r talking about. There are lots of things stil misunderstood when you have a mental disease. Sadly enough because it is a disease. I wish you the best of luck!
Interesting that people "own" the conditions of anxiety, stress and depression. and it takes the focus away from bad situations that need to be changed. I agree with everything in the video and thank you for sharing. But it concerns me that especially in the workplace there is much about helping people with these conditions and little acknowledgement that it is caused by the conditions in which people find themselves and I wish organisations would change the conditions. Stress management for employees? Yes, great, but why not reduce the stress in the first place? Yes, people like Dave do need help, but often it is an appropriate response to inappropriate circumstances. Organisations then make out that they are doing well because they helped someone with the mental health condition they helped to create in the fist place.

My heads hurting so bad don't know if I can do anything.
