I have sailed through some horrible shit in my past. I thought because I got through that mental health problems were something that happened to everybody else and I was bulletproof.

It caught up with me in the end even though I could see it coming a mile off.

Talk to someone dude.

Never usually this low, but some times I think to myself, you hear and watch people. And think you have been nothing compare to some of the things i have endured.

Have you got people you can talk to? It’s so helpful to reach out and connect when you feel like this.

Some people have been through horrific things but never belittle your own problems because you think someone elses are worse. Make sure you look after yourself x

I’m a private person and don’t open up to strangers. Tend to keep things to myself. I used to find the gym was a good release but health issues have put a stop to that.

But my kids are the reason I have hope.

Different experiences and thought processes can influence how we react to situations and everyones reactions are valid to that person.

I really hope you can move forward, small steps, recognition of your own thoughts and feelings, just be kind to yourself

I don't know your story, or why you feel the way you do, but I do know there will be better days, they may feel far and few between but you won't always feel as low as you currently do, things/life can be better, it's just a case of working out how and finding coping mechanisms for when the days seem bleak.

Very private and keep most thoughts to myself most the time. I do go running and that releases the mind sometimes.

It’s tougher for men in general to deal with mental health and talk about it. Some prefer to talk to strangers some to those they know. I am more than happy to be a ear for someone that ever needs it

Acknowledging your feelings is a good first step. Dont suffer in silence. Bottling up will only build the pressure. Talk to someone, and be kind to yourself.

You got this.

OP have you been to see the Dr? I know the NHS can take ages but its a definite start. Have a look at Mind. Its a great tool for managing anxiety/depression. I see a Psychotherapist alot and am doing so much better. Plus ive had the right MH diagnosis now. Its also good to get support on here too especially from people who suffer like you do. Sending hugs and hope things get better lovely xx

Thinking that means you realise you need to do something. Go for a run and then talk to someone. Either live or on here. Be kind to yourself...

Ive been there and advise you goto your docs asap, tell them how low you feel and insist on some short-term prescription support, get you through this low.

Then you'll feel better, cope better, function better and move forward.

I did and it prob saved me.

Good luck fella

Exactly this.

What is normal for the spider is chaos for the fly, you cannot compare your sorrow, if you feel down, even if it is over something trivial, talk to someone x

Two weeks ago I was in one of the lowest places for years, anxiety and panic attacks all the time, night time was the worse, trying to function on 2 hours sleep doesnt help either.

I have a friend from here who came over for a few nights, talking is a massive help, in the end I turned to family and things seem to be on the up.

Never under estimate how it's affecting you.

Hope your ok op, if you need a friendly ear give me a shout.

Sometimes strong people need to talk, I always thought It was my job to keep strong.

Writing, running and talking have helped me get through the week.

When well know celebrities are taking their own lives, there is millions that suffers various form of the illness that aren’t diagnosed or keep silent.

I've been through Mental Health issues in the past, but fortunately, I had great Medical help, in my GP, who ensured I received the attention I needed.

One crucial point he said, as have other medical professionals since, is that MEN need to stop thinking that they don't need help, that Men are strong and sort out their own problems, but don't need outsiders poking their noses in!!!!

Once Men start realising it's ok to admit they DO have a problem and open up, that's the first major hurdle overcome.

With me, it took a few months to realise I wouldn't beat the bullies nor could I beat my anguish on my own.

That was almost 4 years ago. I'm fine now!

I got divorced last year. She cheated on me with 2 older guys. Can't afford to keep the house & not sure what I can afford on my own that'll let me give the kids separate rooms they need. There are times it feels pretty bleak.

A few years ago we lost a baby & things had never really got right.

I sometimes think I'm string because I've fought back from the worst thing possible. But then other times I wonder how many more kicks in the teeth one person can take before they crack. I keep fighting because I have to. But there are troughs to navigate.

A good cry & plenty of sleep are good to aid function. I'm lacking quite badly in the latter since new year. I've had enough of the crying bit but a few tears can dump a lot of pressure out of your head so never be afraid to cry.

We battle on, guy me & Gemma together, dodge the bullets & try to stay sane, in the hope of happier times ahead. Ffs I need some lol. X
