"Sorry to hear that buddy. It’s never easy dealing with the sort of close personal loss. Mental health is a strange and oh so bloody complex thing. No magic tablets and quick over the counter remedies. I’ve suffered myself a lot with depression over the years and some days are good, some are bad. I guess there’s nothing I or anyone can say that will make this easier or better for you. Just taking each day as it comes can be hard enough. They always say “Time heals all things.” But it’s also the things that’s going to do for most of us in the end…. Just keep plodding on. Same excrement. Different 24 hour time frame. " Thank you, I think it's just a case of getting something out from my brain as it's when I'm alone with my thoughts that they have more impact. | |||

"Here's your weekly Mental Health safe space. How are you doing? What have you been up to? For me the day is here. It's the second anniversary of my brother's passing. Still painful, still emotional, if now for moments rather than longer periods of time. I know I am posting this incredibly early in the day, and I have allowed myself some thoughts already and am off work today (Monday) and tomorrow (Tuesday) to make sure I return in the right frame of mind. I need to check in on my parents in the morning, see how they are and I want to remember him well. As I commented last week, I always feel that the first week of the year I am almost in limbo and the 10th January is when I can get going again." Sorry to hear that x | |||

"I’m exactly the same. I spend a fair amount of time alone so I need to keep the mind busy. Thankfully I live binge watching tv shows and movies and have games on the phone that keep me occupied when I’m not busy. Anything that helps distract from negativity is a good thing. " This is part of a plan tomorrow - going to go out for breakfast, then later in the afternoon binging amazon prime. | |||

One of the best things I’ve watched in a long time. Gripping from start to finish. | |||

If it's out there it's shared and it's not on your mind in the same way. | |||

"If people want to take how you feel and twist it to be negative to you, are they really the kind of people you’d want to meet in real life?? I know I wouldn’t want those people in my social circle. Are they really the kind of people you should devote your time and attention to dealing with? Should you worry about them and what they think?? I think not. The world is full of all kinds of souls. Take on board the positive, ignore the negative. Mean people don’t deserve the attention it takes from you to get yourself upset about. " This is my new mantra | |||

"I'm really struggling with my mental health. No medication for at least a month due to doctors being full" I’m on loads. Just come off Effexor, now on Sertraline with diazepam, Promethazine and Zopiclone. If you’ve got this far with no medication then you’re doing frigging awesome!!!!!! Fair play to you. It’s only making you stronger because you’re doing it yourself!!! | |||

"I'm really struggling with my mental health. No medication for at least a month due to doctors being full" Can your pharmacy make an urgent referral? Is the medication like a repeat prescription? This doesn't sound good for you. My own docs has been a nightmare to contact lately too. | |||

"For some unknown reason life has decided to fuck me over again and again. Just when I seam to be getting ahead of the game. A quick kick in the nuts.. can't catch a break.. life sucks. " Yup. Been there. Well I am there now. I remember thinking “Ah well. It can’t get any worse…” Then life said, “Wanna bet???  ” | |||

That’s who I reached out to. Urgent Care and Assesment team. Granted. I was telling them I was going to take my life but they came out for daily visits with me and brought me diazepam and Zopiclone as well as getting me started on Sertraline as a new antidepressant. Let someone know how desperate you are the wheels remarkably start turning. Call 111 oit if hours doctors and tell them you can’t cope and scared your going to lose it. They will see you. | |||

"Everyone goes thru dark moments in their life...life sucks sometimes. Made even worse by these cost of living crisis and the NHS falling apart. Reach out and talk to people. Take time out from work and have some me time. 1 step at a time. Him x " I love the talking to people. This is what the threads were here for and I thank StarflyLou for getting them started. | |||

"Well I think right now someone else's mental health is the most major thing affecting mine, but I take it unless they admit to having a huge problem then there's really not anything anyone can do for them. Just leaves me feeling angry part of the time and numb the rest." I think all you can do here is as you have, be there. | |||
