Depression

[Ezekiel 25:17]

As terrible as depression is, and it's fucking terrible, along with Anxiety, they're not terminal, no matter how bad your feeling you have to force yourself to get some kind of comfort from the fact it can change and usually with time and support, whether that be pharmaceutical or emotional it will.

 

 

I've suffered anxiety several times and I make this remark every time, the most horrible aspect of it is you can only really reflect on it and think about the appropriate actions you should take once it's eventually passed. Depression and anxiety are cunts for only really knowing you were really suffering once you stop suffering.

 

 

Rambling a bit here, I hope you all get the support you need.

An issue with depression and anxiety is, beyond the mental toll, you just don't know or even realize how hard this can be on the body. It's probably a cause of all sorts of ailments.

 

Like, you wonder why certain people die or live to a certain age, and it could very well be that a big factor in living a long time is someone's perception of stress and being the sort of person whose brain doesn't let it become anxiety/depression.

Saw this in our local medical centre the other day, I would have thought it is relevant throughout the NHS

Yeah my anxiety is mostly physical, wouldn't wish it on any one.

 

Apparently a lot of military and emergency service people get a lot of health problems when they're older because their body is in such a constant state of flight or fight. Anxiety does the same thing to a brother.

I’ve suffered with depression and anxiety all my adult life.
 

Mostly it’s been the depression that’s ruled my fucked up roost.

Over the last year or so, however, it’s been the anxiety that’s causing me the most agony (believe me, agony is not understating it).

 

Not currently on any prescribed medication, or undergoing any therapy. Been on the lot, done the lot, over the years.

 

What I really should be doing is swimming more, it helps more than anything else. What I am doing is suffering panic attacks in the middle of the night and munching cbd gummies before I get out of bed. Gummies that probably don’t do that much but I tell myself they do. 
 

Anxiety is a right cunt. 
 

Love, as always, to all those struggling with whatever they’re struggling with.

You all need to just smoke a little weed from time to time, man. 
 

 

Probably better for any physical ailments than Indian preachers on YouTube as well, I reckon.

Might have mentioned it before on here but the combination of talking more openly to family/friends, taking extra B vitamins/Vit D/Magnesium and reading this book a couple of times really sorted me out. Realise that doesn't help everyone but nothing ventured, nothing gained.

I started out using generic Holland and Barrett brand but got a few side effects like cramps etc. So moved to Solgar which are much better but can be pricy. I used to use separate B6 and B12 vitamins but moved to a B Complex which has everything. I take Vit D every day and the B Complex and Magnesium every other day. Don't really need them wvery day and it can be easy to overdo it. It's obviously better to get these essential vitamins via diet but it's not easy in the modern world. I can't emphasise enough the importance of keeping mobile and busy. Walk every day for at least 30mins at a decent pace, ideally in a park. Great for the head.

I was chatting to a cardiologist and she was emphatic in recommending magnesium for all kinds of things , from palpitations/heart rhythm to improved sleep.

It was meant for Stig but then you knew that. It's not Buddhist Hindu shit but why would you know that.

Yep, it has the effect of calming the body and we're all pretty heavily deficient in our intake too. The better form is magnesium biglycinate taken before bed ideally. Zinc taken with it is very good for sleep, it won't knock you out but you do notice a mild sense of physical relaxation.

OK point taken. My time here is done. Not paid to be here for a while for a reason and now is the time.

 

Best Wishes all. Genuinely wish you all the best.

What a tremendous loss to the forum. 
 

It’ll take a while for us to properly move on from this.

I took it with zinc for a couple of nights and slept like a babe , the grass may have helped as well like

I've never had mental health issues and I'll be fucked if I want them.

 

I've been thinking of vitamin tablets but, no offence, your suggestion of 1 one day and 1 every other day too complicated and doesn't compute with my lazy arsed brain. I want 1 tablet a day to take care of it all.

 

Your thing about walking/exercise is spot on though.

It was awkward at first but then I bought one of these and it's simple as. Just fill them once a week and away ye go.

They're great those. Have one of them for all my daily kidney meds and supplements. Would be fucked without it.
