how do you start to deal with depression ? last week or so began to feel really down very unlike me not sleeping very, well loss of appetite, very lethargic.
ok im out of work at the moment and wife works all day,sitting here on my own definitely not helping me one bit, applied for 6 jobs in last few days all this not helping my diabetes one bit, got bit tearful sat morning have no idea why at all? just don't understand where this has come from and i hate it.
Firstly, I ain't giving you no hug, forget it pal!
You've have some really good advice so far, can't improve on it,
Priority, look after that Diabetes whatever you do, I got careless, had a little hiccup a while back, it took a while to sort out,
and remember the weather is improving, the Sun is out almost daily,
so might your new(ish) neighbour be, before long!
Good Luck Mate.
Well done Bernie on getting the part time job. Depression is a horrible state to be in. My own story with depression is well documented on here and I recieved a lot of help and support when I needed it here. Ive had a few ups and downs in the last couple of years but by and large its under control with medication. I dont care what anyone says but when depression hits you its bloody difficult to deal with and no amount of people telling you to 'pull yourself together' helps. Its like someone telling you to stop having toothache or diarrhea, you cant and wished you could.
Ive managed to get myself a bit of voluntary work which is a big help (something to get up for and commit to) so Im sure your part time work will be a big help to you.
I wish you all the best mate.
