Well being

Hope everyone is doing well
It’s not the situation, but how you deal with it
If you are going through something and you could use a hand up rather than a handout, talk to your friends, seek professional help
It takes a village to raise a child and it takes a community to help and care for others
Stay strong guys, and never forget, you don’t have to walk the path alone

Just want to say I have been through some dark times myself and didn't think would get out of them, but thankfully I did with help from friends and family. I know some men especially thinks it makes them less of a man to seek help for mental or emotional problems, but it really doesn't. Don't think that way, your friends and family are not gonna judge you, they want to make sure you get better.

As a side note: I am not a professional mental health counselor by any means, but if any on here ever want to talk about anything, I'm always willing to be a listening ear. Just send me a DM(y)
 
Hope everyone is doing ok, it's been a while since any updates for many of us, and the coming Christmas season, can bring on some dark days for people, so if you need an 'ear to lean on' (interesting visual there) drop a DM, as there's help at hand, for anyone who needs propping up, depression doesn't care if you're on top of the world, or what you do, or where you live, have lost a few mates to it, and it might have had a different outcome if only they'd reached out YNWA

Update on my illness. Doctor says it was brought on by mental state of mind. Every day I believed was my end date. Days came and went it was the same. Went into depression mode just couldn't get out of it. Doctor prescribed pills and within 2months I was feeling much better. I'm lucky that I didn't need therapy. It was all in my mind. Some on here would say I'm a basket case anyway 😀😀 But always remember to talk to talk too your loved one if anthing is troubling you.

The placebo effect works both ways they call it the nocebo effect I often think our mental health would be much better if we avoided the media both social and MSM it’s all just noise and there’s jack shit we can do about any of it and paid more attention to nature and and all that stuff smell the roses if there’s no a steaming pile of shite under them not that I’m very good at practicing that myself came off social media day before yesterday lasted a day😂

My wife has lived with it for years it’s a right cunt that’s cunt as in fucking cunt not cunt as in he’s a good cunt kind of way I think it’s one of the hardest things to deal wi there’s no magic bullet that’s why pages like this can help I guess because even holding a conversation when you are depressed can be like climbing a mountain and some of us old cunts don’t find it so easy to open up as the snowflakes do coz we’re solid as fuck and eat boiled ham raw.

i am a man of the 50’s, but am still in touch with my sensitive and compassionate side, I will help anyone, and I expect the same level of respect from them as they get from me
Depression has touched many of our lives, and speaking out and talking about it, even the banter helps lift the mood
It’s more stressful these days as the healthcare crisis is upon us
Hospital closing on some days, due to short staffing, nurses quitting because of being stressed to the Max
My doctor is retiring at the end of November, and I don’t know if I’ll have a GP next month, but the biggest thing for me with this, is the kids nowadays who have their noses buried in their phones and don’t get me started on the Tik Tok fuckwits
Role models my arse, now, back to the topic at hand
Best to everyone who is dealing with health issues

There’s a healthcare crisis here too my wife was told she had to wait 68 weeks to see a neurologist for a condition she’s had for going on 4 years we ended up going private 12 week wait, 68 weeks FFS you could be dead by the time they see you so now we have to pay twice once for the NHS which is rapidly becoming a disgrace no fault of the medical staff and then again to the private sector
